To sum up Dungeon siege from what has been said:
Great engine Excellent party control (but not up to BG2 standard) Battles good fun Too linear (unlike BG2) Story a pile of poo (unlike BG2) So ... as long as Neverwinter Nights can up the graphics (looks at new video - check) it will erase Dungeon Siege from our lives |

"what happens if there's a game in the office that you've reviewed and no one likes, what do you do with it, bin it"
It usually ends up in a big cardboard box in a dark corner of my bedroom, along with my Stupid Invaders toilet paper, Clusterball balls, all manner of dodgy gaming-related t-shirts and other stuff I wouldn't touch with a twenty foot clown pole if my life depended on it. |

The review was biased against the game from the start, and I think it spent too much time reviewing what the author felt had been left out rather than reviewing what the game writers have put in.
By that definition an exquisitly well rendered dot in the centre of the screen would be a brilliant game if that's all the developers produced. I think not... |

In that case, perhaps you should have a competition every now and then to get rid of the box of shame. |

any chance of seeing some polls on this site?
heh, what about a readers' survey à la Gamespot? Something for rauper to feed the marketing hounds, plus a good way to waste ten minutes. Prize for filling it in - entry in a tombola to win the contents of Gestalt's cardboard box. Results of the survey to be published on the site :). |

"Something I'd love to see a review of on here is Warcommander"
Bugger off! :p I worked my way through about three missions and then gave up on it in disgust. There's a fun game somewhere under there trying to get out, but what with the bugs, control issues, balancing, lousy AI and other problems it's hard to find. A prime example of a game that needed a few more months of polish. |

You actually got that far? Wow, you've got a lot of patience. I made it to the second mission (I didn't even do anything for the Beach Landing mission, I just somehow completed it - no joke - although I do recall my men killing themselves by throwing grenades right in front of themselves), moved my men about a bit and was so majorly unimpressed by the poor graphics, stupid animation and unoriginal gameplay, gave up. I even went to the website to see what the response to it was. That's a great laugh too. It consists of posts on how rubbish the game is and "when will the patch be out".
