    Tags: Dungeon Siege: Legends of Aranna

    <A href="http://www.reviewgamer.com/">Review Gamer</a> has <A href="http://www.reviewgamer.com/?x=reviews&view=103"a review</a> of <A href="http://www.dungeonsiege.com">Legends of Aranna</a>, giving it a rather lackluster <b>7.8/10</b> but still managing to place a good deal of praise on it. Here's a taste:
    <br>
    <br>
    <blockquote>After designing the much loved Total Annihilation, Chris Taylor then went on the create Dungeon Siege, an epic new adventure title that would not only simplify the role playing experience, but simultaneously enhance it, taking it to newer and previously unexplored levels. While these features were enjoyed by many, the game’s hack and slash game play quickly grew old. With point and clicking taking a game only so far, Dungeon Siege was soon forgotten and laid to rest by most – but not all, for some still enjoyed the original and used the versatile map editor to continue the legend and fantasies of the kingdom of Ehb. Now, over a year after the original’s release, the expansion has finally graced retail shelves. With nothing new or exciting to boast about, Legends of Aranna promises to please fans of the original with everything they’ve learned to love, while trying to entice gamers back into the engrossing game of Dungeon Siege.</blockquote>

    Yes. It's still shocking the guy who designed <i>Total Annihilation</i> designed this game.

    Isn't Chris Taylor the lead designer of Fallout? He created Dungeon Siege :shock: :?
    Or am I confusing him with someone else?

    The Chris Taylor who did Fallout is the same ChrisT that did Starfleet Command, Fallout Tactics, and the GBA LotR game.
