    Tags: Silverfall: Earth Awakening

    <a href="http://storefront.steampowered.com/v/index.php?area=app&AppId=4470">Silverfall: Earth Awakening is now available on Steam</a>. If you haven't played the game at all, you can pick up the original as well:
    <br>
    <blockquote>Silverfall Earth Awakening is an action RPG with unique graphical feel offering a fantastic quest to explore the new territories of Nelwë. In this heroic fantasy world where nature and technology collide you will have to make important choices which will lead you to side with one or the other. Play any one of the available six races, of which 2 are new: the stocky and lucky 'Dwarves' and the agile and treacherous 'Lizardmen', and prepare yourself to confront an impressive array of creatures and formidable bosses to save the realm of Nelwë.</blockquote>
    <br>
    If you do have the original, you can import your existing character into the sequel.

    Bah, I could have told you this if I'd thought you cared. I always keep forgetting that you cover games you hate as well.

    You mean the Fallout 3 posts aren't a constant reminder? I didn't know much about the game though. Saint seemed to like it.

    I read that the addon tries to address the camera and general control issues by introducing direct WASD controls. The inclusion of a playable dwarf is also nice, but I'm still going to skip this. The main game was just too half-baked, rushed and riddled with too many little annoyances, though the core gameplay was decent. The fact that it ran absurdly stuttery on both of my PCs didn't help either.

    Good point.

    I think what I should of said was that I keep forgetting that you cover games you are vaguely displeased by but don't necessarily hate. Basically, most Diablo clones.

    Actually, I don't really think of the Codex as a news site so much as a place I go to find that special brand of humor and if I'm lucky a cool obscure game.
