And it could be just like Where's Waldo?, only it was set in a weird universe where absolutely everything and everyone was a walking sign that said "R00fles".

Those were the Greeks. And no, I would never be into hot carls. That's scatology.

*ahem* you were aware that Roman men would be classified as bi-sexual weren't you? Look up a definition of pedicare and consider the words of Horace:

“…When your crotch is throbbing and there is a slave girl or slave boy ready at hand, whom you could jump right away, you don’t prefer to burst with your hard on, do you? I certainly don’t. I like sex that is easy and obtainable.”

VD is probably aware of this, considering his sig contains a classic piece of Roman thinking: "everyone's a girl when they're face down." Caesar got called a Queen because he... bah.. you get my drift..

Fact: Your user name on the RPG Codex is, currently, space captain.

Once again, you are proved a liar.

Dungeon Lords' combat is crap. Simple and stupid combos that dont work out very well, the evasive moves even more so.

Blade of Darkness had pretty good combat for an action RPG. All in all, Dungeon Lords reminded me of a really shitty version of Blade of Darkness, and it wasnt fun and didnt have cool gore either.

Gothic could be alright sometimes, Bloodlines was pretty good.

I'm probably only VD's alternate account anyway.

Are they reviewing the same game? How the hell can a game that is incomplete get a score as high as 6.8??
I dont get it.

gamespot score translation system:

( ( gamespotScore * 2 ) - 10 ) == finalScore

note that I've never seen a gamespot score below 5, so this should yeild scores that actually fall between 0 and 10.

soooo .. gsCorrectScore(6.8) == 3.6, much better.
