<a href=http://www.computerandvideogames.com>Computer and Video Games</a> have <a href=http://www.computerandvideogames.com/r/?page=http://www.computerandvideogames.com/reviews/reviews_story.php?id=124756>reviewed</a> Gas Powered Games' hot new action RPG Dungeon Siege II. They rate it <b>80/100</b>.<blockquote>And as well as adding a story, it looks like Gas Powered has taken inspiration from some of the top WWII FPSs for its intro and ease-in tutorial, which puts you in the middle of a big battle - complete with trenches - as a sword for hire. It quickly becomes apparent that you're not just a run-of-the-mill merc though, and it also transpires that you've chosen to fight for the wrong side. Drevin, your mate, is killed, you're badly wounded by the bloke who hired you (Valdis) and you wake up, and the game starts proper with you locked up like a dirty criminal. After proving you're not as bad as you seem, and getting a few far-from-cryptic nods of support from those with foresight (would you believe that you're actually the direct descendant of Azunai the Defender? Well blow me, what a coincidence...), you're freed and ready to start levelling up.</blockquote>YOU ARE THE CHOSEN ONE! I bet you don't have to CHOOSE! though.

I tried to play this but i just couldn't, after 30 mins you just know there's no point.

The game is a terrific single player experience. If you don't like roguelikes or Diablo, you won't like it. It's as simple as that.

What kind of stupid argument is "there is no point"? What's the point to playing ANY game, besides having fun and/or winning? If that doesn't appeal to you, you shouldn't be playing games. Simple as that.

I wish the multiplayer were playable, though. It's not. It works fine over LAN but the GameSpy service is horrible. I can't host games, and most people can't host games, either.

You actually paid for DS2? You know just because you're rich enough to throw cash at a pile of shit doesn't mean you have to, even if it has Chris Taylor's name on it.

The only point in playing this game is beating it so you can throw it the fuck away and start enjoying some of the better games out there. Like Diablo. So I guess you were still right about that though Mr. Site Director of Chris Taylor's next game.
