You're going on a holiday and you're bringing games.
Then what's the bloody point of a holiday? Go do something that you aren't able to do at home. Go to places, do stuff, meet Saxton Hale if you get the chance. But for pete sake, don't waste your holiday doing something that you can normally do every single day in your house.

Bring along The Witcher... fun little romp in RPG land that isn't too heavy on the toughness level, allowing you to enjoy our Beaches, parklands, assorted wildlife.
Bring a spike to put on your hat, this year is going to be bloody bad for drop bears, and you DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT, want to be caught unawares by a female Drop Bear, they'll drag you off to their nest and *shudder* its to bad to talk about it!

Pack as many games as you can, and stay indoors for safety. Make sure to check your pillows and shoes for unwanted nasties.

Have you not read any of my posts?
Of course I'm going to go surfing or whatever, I'm only 15 and I can't exactly waltz off around the country. This is just something to keep me entertained during my dads work shifts.
I'm from Australia myself, and I thought that - just to make your trip that little bit nicer - to point out that in addition to having around 9 of the world's 10 worst snakes (and trust me - most of ours would urinate on a rattlesnake before considering it threatening - the Taipan is deadlier, faster and SUPER-aggressive), crocodiles that make a steady diet out of tourists too stupid to obey the 'don't swim in this river' signs, kangaroos in plague numbers that will seriously gouge your face out, and even koalas that are badass enough to get aggressive if they aren't too stone on the THC in gumleaves to stay neutral (yes, I might be talking my country up a little here).....we also have THIS fella: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sydney_funnel-web
It's basically a toss-up between this guy and the brazillian banana-spider for 'world's deadliest spider' (the brazillian spider has more deaths in recent decades, but that's because we keep anti-venom for the funnel-web freaken everywhere). They've got an ultra-strong biting action that can pierce clothing and thin shoes, they've been known to kill a person within 15 minutes (15 FREAKIN MINUTES!!!), and what's more....they are mega-aggressive. As in they'll chase you across a room. I'm not kidding.
Add to that that the males are roaming creatures who regularly inhabit human clothes-drawers, shoes, cupboards and so forth.
On top of which, their poison is only ultra-deadly to one species (it's normal-spider-deadly to the usual prey, but only super-omg-that's-a-biowarfare-poison-deadly to one). Primates. And guess how many species of primate there are in Australia. That's right, one. Humans. The little bastards evolved to kill humans.
Anyway, have a good trip. Don't think about the funnel-webs while you're in Sydney/NSW. Really, just put them out your mind

(oh, and in case the poms win the next Ashes, just thought I'd point out from the Wikipedia page that not only have we sent you guys a confirmed colony of redback spiders, but Sydney funnelwebs have apparently been sighted in Gloustershire!) Take that, reverse colonisation!!!)
Edit: on the flip-side, we also get genuine cat-plagues (as in descendants of former house-cats - they're too cautious to get killed by the predators here, and even our city suburbs are pretty cat-friendly, so folks generally let them roam outdoors), which despite annoying our farmers, I find freaken AWESOME!!!.

As a Canberrian, this man knows what he's talking aboutKorolev said:
We've got a war memorial, some shops and some building called parliament house. That's about it
Heh, this thread went from a "what games to get thread" to a "lets all talk about australia thread"
Now my thread about "what games I should bring" has turned into a discussion about Australia's
viscious wildlife......

I live in Australia
1. ya you don't need games to have a good time here
2. careful of region lock, some PC games won't work here unless sold here
3. just play an MMO like RS or something

I'm confused.
You're going on holiday and you want to take some games to play in your time off.
Fair enough.
But... why exactly do you need advice about this? Just grab a bunch of games you like playng and you're all set. It's not like there are games out there specifically designed for holidays in Australia.

I'm just asking for titles of games that are fun and enjoyable, I dont have many games on me and Fallout 2 is my brothers copy. I would like it if people stayed on topic and actually helped me outZhukov said:
I don't know if you know this, but Brisbane is not pronounced Briz-bane, it's pronounced Briz-ben. Just in case you didn't know that. I've heard a lot of people say Briz-bane.
Oh and yeah don't buy any games here, they're more expensive. I'm not 100% on this but a $100 game here, is around about equivalent to $86-something in USD. So yeah they cost more here.

Uh... okay.lfielding02 said:
You mentioned in the OP that you like RPGs. Have you played any of Bioware's stuff? The Mass Effect games are good, especially the second one. Sci-fi goodness. Dragon Age is okay, right up your alley if you like traditional fantasy. And I've heard nothing but good things about Knights of the Old Republic.
