    Tags: Mage Knight: Apocalypse

    Not to be outdone, <a href="http://pc.ign.com/">IGN</a> also has a <a href="http://pc.ign.com/articles/695/695178p1.html">preview</a> of <a href="http://www.namco.com/games/mkapocalypse/">Mage Knight Apocalypse</a>. Here's the very first paragraph:
    <br>
    <blockquote>RPGs are coming back! Thank the lords that publishers and developers realized that PC gamers have been scratching and twitching this whole time. Happily, there are a ton of RPGs set to release this year, one of which is Namco's Mage Knight: Apocalypse. We last saw this game in October and since then it's come along way.</blockquote>
    <br>
    I have to admit, I stopped reading right there. There's just so much wrong with that paragraph, it's not even funny. Everything from the whole <i>RPG players will have a great year because of all the releases</i> when there's not much on the horizon that looks like it's not just another action combat game, to the <i>good news for the PC gamer front</i> when this is yet another one of those multiplatform consolified things which nearly all of which have a shoddy control scheme. Yes, much rejoicing to be had.

    [Insert well intentioned argument that if we all bought five copies of this game people will start making the rpgs we'd like].

    I did read it and it seems like just another action RPG borrowing some stuff from Diablo, Sacred etc.

    Just what we need at the moment, NOT.

    I checked the page for fun, and yes, they got dwarves with guns. I flipped through the screenshot gallery and ... yes they have dwarves with miniguns... NEXT!

    It is nice to see that quality is no longer a trait required for the game of today.
