Tags: Dungeon Siege 2; Gas Powered GamesComputer and Video Games have reviewed Gas Powered Games' hot new action RPG Dungeon Siege II. They rate it 80/100.
And as well as adding a story, it looks like Gas Powered has taken inspiration from some of the top WWII FPSs for its intro and ease-in tutorial, which puts you in the middle of a big battle - complete with trenches - as a sword for hire. It quickly becomes apparent that you're not just a run-of-the-mill merc though, and it also transpires that you've chosen to fight for the wrong side. Drevin, your mate, is killed, you're badly wounded by the bloke who hired you (Valdis) and you wake up, and the game starts proper with you locked up like a dirty criminal. After proving you're not as bad as you seem, and getting a few far-from-cryptic nods of support from those with foresight (would you believe that you're actually the direct descendant of Azunai the Defender? Well blow me, what a coincidence...), you're freed and ready to start levelling up.YOU ARE THE CHOSEN ONE! I bet you don't have to CHOOSE! though.
