<A href="http://www.gamespy.com/previews/october03/dsarannapc/">Hands on preview</a> of <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/games/pc/dsloa.aspx">Legends of Aranna</a> over at <a href="http://www.gamespy.com">GameSpy</a>, detailing much of what's been covered to death over the last few days of the pre-release hype that's been brewing for this title. Here's a taste:
<br>
<br>
<blockquote>Much of the adventure in Legends of Aranna involves efforts to stop the arch-villain known as the Shadow Jumper from using a powerful staff to enslave the people of Aranna. Tracking him down and defeating him will take some doing, and along the way a host of powerful bosses will stand in your way. In our beta version, defeating some of these bosses seemed a bit too easy; the developers have stressed that they're still providing play balance. The spider-like queen, who no doubt will seem somewhat inspired by The Lord of the Rings' Shelob, seemed far from boss-like, but the final game may offer a greater challenge. With multiple difficultly settings, you'll also have the opportunity to try things at a large level as well. </blockquote>

Every fantasy setting needs a <i>spider queen</i>, doesn't it?

Wow. Boring game play and generic fantasy cliches to boot?
Pulling out ALL the stops.


I can't wait until...

something interesting comes into view.
Seriously. Is there anything amazing, fantastic or interesting happening in the industry?
Or is next year going to be same old, same old, too?

I'd like to see something ground-breaking, the way Ultima IV was those fifteen odd years ago.
Or heck, a spin of that. A hardcore, consequences-based RPG, with lots of thought and atmosphere.
