Mount And Blade:Warband is awesome, especially for $10 bucks. The first M&B doesn't have multiplayer, so just get Warband if you're interested. Warband is basically the original game with improvements and the addition multiplayer. It's a bit janky on the controls side, but it's a medieval 3rd person combat game that going for realism. So it's pretty friggen hard. But, it's addictive and the multiplayer is insane because there are servers with like over 100 people in them and there's times when the chaos of the mounted combat is just overwhelming. Makes you think "fuck, people really fought this way.." - Look it up on YouTube - it's no AAA-title, so it might not be your thing. I think it's a blast though. $10 bucks this weekend, but remember, just get Warband and not the original.
