If I was going to start playing a new PC game, I'd probably go with Last Scenario, which is a freeware PC game that just got "released" about 2 weeks ago. It's been made by one guy over the period of a year, using RPG Maker XP. Apparently he's changed most of the music, graphics, battle mechanics all to his own liking, and added a mini-game (called Hex), and it's professional-looking and although the story starts off standard and clichéd, it soon turns round.
Yes, it seems strange that the maker (one guy!) has announced it via the somethingawful forums.
No, I didn't find it via reading the forums on that site...
