<a href=http://www.game-over.net>GameOver</a> posted a <a href=http://www.game-over.net/reviews.php?id=884>review</a> of <a href=http://www.dungeonsiege.com>Dungeon Siege: Legends of Aranna</a>, the action RPG screensaver expansion. They thought it was so-so and give it <b>75%</b>.

<blockquote>The backstory of Legends of Aranna may seem like it’s been ripped out of the big book of generic plotlines, but comes across on a much larger scale. The Utraeans, an ancient race in Aranna skilled in magic, has created a ton of mystical items and spells, amongst other things as a demonstration of their clear intellectual might. As is typically the case with most cerebral beings in games, this brainpower leads to decadence and laziness, spurring the Utraeans to create and manipulate other races to perform menial tasks for them. Like most monster stories, the creations inevitably overthrew their masters, destroying much of their civilization in the process and endangering the delicate balance of the world. Unbeknownst to the Utraeans and the rest of Aranna, the toppling of these wizards has also allowed a primordial evil, the Shadow Jumper, to return to the land and start causing massive destruction.</blockquote>

Given that all you do in Dungeon Siege is watch, you'd think they could at least make the story compelling.
