    Gamesradar put up a preview of <a href="http://www.demonicon.de/EN/">TDE: Demonicon.</a>
    <br>
    No, that link leads to the homepage of this game, <a href="http://www.gamesradar.com/xbox360/the-dark-eye-demonicon/preview/first-look-at-the-dark-eye-demonicon/a-20100416154113281063/g-20100416153058500091">this is the link to the preview.</a>

    Hmmpf.

    Here's an excerpt from their homepage:
    <br>
    <br>
    <p style="margin-left:50px;border-style:solid;border-width:1px;border-top-color:#ffffff;padding:5px;border-right-color:#bbbbbb;border-left-color:#ffffff;border-bottom-color:#bbbbbb;">No matter whether you prefer to travel Aventuria using magic, with a sword, or with the resourcefulness of a thief - there are individual quests and approaches to problems for each character class.

    Eurasian titles embody the spirit of my favorite 90s PC games. American developers just want to make Doom with 'RPG elements' over and over. I think the remakes say it all: Syndicate handled by the Chronicles of Riddick team, X-Com handled by the BioShock 2 B-team.

    It's sad that I must look overseas for games like Mount & Blade, Space Rangers 2, King's Bounty, etc.

    Guise, this game is made by the same team that made The Fall: Last Days of Gaia.

    Don't get your hopes up.
