Warcraft 3 can be divided into 2 main components: Vanilla and Custom Maps. Vanilla consists of the game's long campaign (almost a hundred missions, in both the original game and the expansion), and the normal RTS maps. In vanilla, players usually take control of a base from one of the 4 races (human, night elf, undead, orc), gather resources, build an army and annihilate enemies.

Custom maps, on the other hand, are very different. It can be considered the actual main content in Warcraft 3. There are thousands of maps you could download and play - from tower defense, hero defense to custom campaigns and even RPGs. You can get thousands of hours of gameplay from this.

3 - Fallout New Vegas (RPG)

Similar to GTA, the combat is in 3rd person, with players selecting guns from their weapon wheels. However, the weapons in Saint Row are much weirder. There are rocket launchers that shoot squid, grenades that contain fart, a purple dildo bat... and more.

The best part of Far Cry 2 is probably its location. The whole thing takes place in a sprawling African landscape, with terrain ranging from desert to savannah to jungle. Various factions and vehicles are featured with enemies being human mercenaries.
