Hack and slash dreams come true.


For the longest time I have loved hack and slash games from the likes of gauntlet 2 on the mega drive to the port of diablo on PlayStation that tuck up a whole memory card would you believe it. Lots of hack and slash games of this style and feel come and go I remember picking up dungeon and dragons heroes to plug that gap between my to favourite games in this genre that is baldur's gate dark alliance 1 and 2 two fantastic games have wowed my gaming experience from the water effect on the first game on PlayStation 2 and the high production value and generally overall tight game play of this series both these two games are a million miles better then the likes of X-MEN LEGENDS or DARK STONE on PlayStation, In my option two of the finest hack and slash rpg ever created, The sad thing about all of this is that its very unlikely there will be a dark alliance 3 with interplay been no more and some other complex legal matters I am without a next gen version of my beloved co-op levelling up treasure hunting spell casting giant rat killer fix! Or am I? not any more am not, I picked up DUNGEON SIEGE III the other day the DUNGEON SIEGE series for me anyways has always been a bit close but no cigar for me but this new game is pretty much spot on for the nearest thing to a next gen dark alliance I have played I really am very pleased with this game and its take on the hack and slash RPG if you are a fan of the dark alliance series and you what a new shiny hack n slashathorn on 360 then this is the game for you, Top marks the story's not as good but it still holds up as the nearest thing to dark alliance 3 we will ever get.

I actually enjoy the pace of hack 'n' slash games a hell of a lot more than traditional RPG's.
