It's a role-playing game... as far as I understand it, it's the Star Wars universe adapted to Dungeons & Dragons-type rules. So it's neither of the choices you offered... it's more along the lines of Final Fantasy or Dungeon Warrior.

And geez, you couldn't think up a better example of a thinking type game than Splinter Cell?

KOTOR actually has a few math puzzles in it, but overall it's a roleplaying game. The closest equivalent would be Neverwinter Nights on PC.

tommy, trust me : It's really good. Cool too. It's an RPG, but a very open ended one with a lot of action to it. If you're at all into Star Wars, you'll love it. It's the reason I finally got my Xbox. It's not like SC at all, but still a good game. Graphics aren't in the same league, though.

You can find a lot of review links here.

Good one, Groucho. Playing KOTOR, I saw so many things that reminded me of NWN, plus the fighting, conversation, and gaining levels were the same. It's got Bioware's touch all over it, which is a good thing

Yep. Plus, they both use the same engine (Aurora).

And all the math problems can be bulldozered over to accomplish the same goal if youre so inclined.

Or (for one of them) you can just rent Die Hard 3.

Coincedentially I recently watched Die Hard 3 before encountering the puzzle.

Not really a puzzle or thinking game. I never got stuck once playing throug it. There are a few puzzles, but they're all fairly simple, and it's a fairly linear game as you always know where to go next for the most part (though sometimes you don't know which quests you have to do and which are optional).

The one where the guy asks you to finish the sentence: "Yippee kay-ay, _______________".

Spoiler:
Just kidding. It's the puzzle where you have to get the right formula to blow up the underwater lab.
