    The Sacred 2 news continues with an <a href="http://www.1up.com/do/reviewPage?cId=3171508&p=1" target="blank">A- review</a> from Tom Chick at 1UP as well as his <a href="http://fidgit.com/archives/2008/11/10-reasons-you-should-be-playi-4.php" target="blank">10 Reasons You Should Be Playing Sacred 2</a>.

    Choose among six classes, each of which has nearly infinite ways to advance on the way to his or her level 200 level cap. The usual suspects include an evil wizard, a good elf wizard, and a necromancer warrior.

    Still, it's nice to see that the devs are supporting the game post release.
