So you've got some free time and have exhausted all the options of TV, movies, cooking, eating, taking a course, playing with the dog and reading and are wondering what's next. How about role-playing games (RPG)? Xbox 360 has some of the best of them.
You can be a whole other person in a whole other place in an RPG game. You will be the character in the game either by literal acting or using a structured decision-making process that leads to character development.
Some of these games are played through discussion. The others are live action, where players have to perform. Both these games have a game master who is an equivalent of a referee. We're going to tell you more next.

Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls-Ultimate Evil Edition
It is no doubt the best version of Diablo 3 and follows the death of Diablo. The Archangel of wisdom, Malthael, now returns as the angel of death. He steals the black soulstone which he takes to westmarch in a bid to use its powers to destroy all humans out of the sanctuary.
