Download.com is hosting a 183mb demo of Dungeon Siege, the recently released role playing game from Gas Powered Games. Thanks Yobock. The demo offers the first 10% from the game, in single player or multiplayer mode.

  • Anyone playing the game and thinking its too 'self automated', change your difficulty to hard. Seriosuly. It changes the game completely focusing you to micromanage each character. Be warned though, some portions of the full game (not the demo) are IMPOSSIBLE (and by that I mean not able to be done) on hard difficulty. Fortunately the difficulty adjustment is dynamic so if one encounter is giving you problems just go to options set the difficulty back to easy normal and try it again.

    Notice how I'm not grumpy and bitching about DS's difficulty/frustration in ER anymore?





  • The game's pretty, and it's quickly addictive. There isn't much depth, though, and the longer you spend with it, the more its limitations show up: inadequate story telling, slow character leveling, repetitious fighting, linear gameplay. The sweeping, cleverly detailed environments make up for some of the deficiencies. The beautiful music and occasionally very good sfx help, too. But sadly, this isn't a classic or groundbreaking; it wears out its welcome much sooner than it should. There's a nice piece of tech here without much of a heart inside -- call it the Quake 3 of RPGs.
