i miss Dungeon crawlers

definition of a dungeon crawler:
:

A dungeon crawl (often referred to as a dungeon crawler or dungeon bash) is a type of role-playing adventure in which the heroes fight their way through an extensive dungeon (or other labyrinthine environment, such as a castle or cave), battling various traps and monsters (often creatures such as dragons and orcs), and looting any treasure they may find. The term can be used in a pejorative sense, since dungeon crawls often lack any meaningful plot or logical consistency. (The parody game Munchkin, as described on its home page, is about "the essence of the dungeon experience... Kill the monsters, steal the treasure, stab your buddy." [1]) Because of the dungeon crawl's simplicity, it can be easier for a gamemaster to run than a more complex adventure, and the "hack and slash" style of play common in dungeon crawls is appreciated by many players who focus on the action and combat aspects of the game.

Oblivion has a huge overworld with hundreds of Tombs, ruins, caverns, and caves, full of Crabs, Imps, Scamps, Trolls, Ogres, and other monsters.

360 and PC.

Dungeon Siege, too, I suppose.
