    <A href="http://videogames.yahoo.com/">Yahoo Videogames</a>(remember when it Games Domain?) has posted <A href="http://videogames.yahoo.com/gamereview?cid=1991260835&tab=reviews&page=0&eid=390610">their review</a> of <A href="http://www.gaspowered.com/ds2">Dungeon Siege 2</a>. Since most everything else has been covered in every other review, here's a bit on how the graphics suck:
    <br>
    <blockquote>Where production values are concerned, Dungeon Siege II is not what you would call cutting edge. The 3D graphics, once considered astounding in the era of the original game, have not undergone a massive rework. Characters models lack the polygon count and detail we've come to expect from modern PC titles; in the age of games like Everquest II, watching characters speak without their lips moving (as they do here) is really distracting. Objects and creatures look and animate in a similarly mediocre manner.</blockquote>
    <br>
    Well, at least this isn't another review that talks about how great the graphics are in this game when they're definitely not.

    The animations are fine, I don't know what that guy is smoking. But the graphics and textures are definitely meh. Lovely scenery, though.
