<a href="http://www.gamespot.com/pc">Gamespot PC</a> also have gotten some playtime with the combat RPG of eventually, D.W. Bradley's Dungeon Lords. Their impressions are <a href=http://www.gamespot.com/pc/rpg/dungeonlords/preview_6116941.html>here</a>.<blockquote>Dungeon Lords will set you off on an epic quest all by your lonesome. You'll create a character from one of seven races, including humans, elves, dwarves, and four magical "demigoth" races of otherworldly stock. The different races look considerably different and have different starting numbers in the game's six ability scores, which make certain races more predisposed to specific types of professions. For instance, the burly urgoth, a race that possesses unusually high strength, make for excellent warriors. While there are no preset character classes, there are templates that can be chosen to focus on regarding specific skills. These templates roughly correspond to the traditional role-playing warrior, rogue, and wizard archetypes.</blockquote>There's also the mysterious furgoth race, which is made for goddamn freaks.

Wouldn't it have been amazing if the writer had managed to have some kind of opinion about whether the game was fun or not?

That would be against good journalistic standards.

Yea, since it'll be very subjective, and if he'll did try to draw some assumptions, I suspect the tone of the news post would be quite different .

Keep in mind that previews like this are basically just advertisements for the game. They're not going to tell you if it's fun or not until after the game is released.

Unless it's a BioWare game, Saint_Proverbius, then it's a mega blockbuster before it's even in production. :D
