The upcoming expansion to Dungeon Siege II, Broken World (it's been said, but that name is incredibly accurate), has been <a href=http://www.gamesradar.com/us/pc/game/previews/article.jsp?releaseId=2006032016251820058&articleId=200604031734375077&sectionId=1001>previewed</a> at <a href=http://www.gamesradar.com>GamesRadar</a>.<blockquote>We have some good news and some bad news for Dungeon Siege fans. First, the good news: the action role-player will be even hackier and slashier, thanks to the Broken World expansion pack due out this summer. But fans may want to get their fill before much-maligned director Uwe Boll gets hold of the franchise and releases two movies based on DS this year. That part was most definitely the bad news.

This expansion will offer players about 10 more hours of dungeon-crawling in a search to set things right (it's all your fault, by the way). In our preview of the expansion we saw action just as frenetic as the original offered, but also tougher.</blockquote>What's it mean when a Dungeon Siege game is more difficult? You have to sit there and watch your guys fight longer? You have to tap "drink potion" more often?

We have some good news and some bad news for Dungeon Siege fans.

So why did they feel the need to issue a press release? I don't think there are (at least, my faith in humanity rests on the belief that) any Dungeon Siege fans.

Quiet gay boys, DS2 was pretty good, it had some decent locations and cool looking baddies

I doubt if there are any DS "fans" here, but there a re a few of us that found DS2 mildly enjoyable.

Better than Oblivion.

You actually have to input commands in DS2. And some of the level design is actually pretty clever, with secret doors/buttons worked into unexpected places in the environment, (like a brick in a wall instead of, say, a torch), with no hint to the player that they're there -- you just have to be attentive to detail.
