If you’re interested to know more about the game’s unique gameplay and combat elements, then this video is for you!

10 Reasons All Video Games Are Starting To Suck

"Actually, you need to find 3 more of these!"

SpellForce: Conquest of Eo Review - Gamebanshee

A somewhat askew balance of narrative and sandbox content, a haphazard approach to combat arenas, and a far from stellar UI prevent SpellForce: Conquest of Eo from becoming an instant, probably cult, classic.

But even so, it's still easily one of the best and most engaging video games in recent memory thanks to its complex interconnected systems, satisfying level of challenge, emergent elements, and that hard-to-pin-down "just one more turn" feel.

I agree wasn't sure I wanted to share it but I did.

The Forspoken interview wasn't any better either. Hence why I just posted them in lazy format again. Have you checked out the Dragon Age news on the other forum?

The leak was very disappointing.

Nobody tell the author that console exclusive preorder bonuses have been around since, oh, 2000 or so.

Aye. While I enjoyed DAI well enough they started losing me with the game play in that one, although I still enjoyed the story and characters a lot. If they go all DS they will totally lose me unless there is a casual/easy mode. Even then ... still I will probably want to see the story to its end. Will see how it all goes.
