YES!

…and no further comment

Sacred 2 is at hands, Drakensang as well – and once I am through these two, Diablo 3 will be waiting… it’s again time for the creatures of hell to beware….

(Ok – that was 1 comment – but that ’s it)

There are a few new massive multiplayer online role playing games (MMORPGs) in the pipeline – namely “Champions online” that has a comic book / super-hero setting, and of course Lego Universe, which I still think of being one of the greatest ideas eer!

There are a lot of potentially good games in the pipeline – the Witcher came out today (although I already a bad preview of it); Sacred 2 will be here soon; and a demo for Hellgate: London is out, too. Let’s see….

I already downloaded a demo of Legend: Hands of God, and also one of Silverfall. Both are nice – but not worth paying like 70 Swiss Francs…

On the Adventure front, I had a look at Everlight; the demo plays nicely, this could be on my next shopping list. There is Geheimakte 2 on the horizon, but it will last a while to be released. Sam & Max: Season 1 is another hot candidate to buy – I loved the old LucasArts game…

Wizards of the Coast are releasing Dungeons&Dragons V4.

D&D is the world’s most known and one of the oldest Role Playing systems – originally for pen and paper games, but later also transferred to PC games – most recently Baldur’s Gate, Neverwinter Nights and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.

Here is a trailer from YouTube:

And here is some more information stuff.

I found this interesting series of articles about the history of computer role playing games (CRPG) at Gamasutra:
