  JoWood has published (not developed) Gothic 1 and 2, I believe. Awesome games. : Fayk

    Arx Fatalis was also published by JoWood, which did well enough to earn itself a port to the Xbox. : Killrig
    - And was a good enough game to warrant the port, in my opinion. : famine101
    - Oh, yeah, I actually totally liked Arx Fatalis, too. I didn't remember that that JoWood published it. : Fayk

JoWood was the guys that made Soldiner no??

Such a great concept... basically BF2 but you can custom your own guy's looks, and has destructable terrian...(trees, buildings, ground)

It was so buggy at release, (even more so then BF2 if you could fathom that) that the whole community just bailed, and never returned...

A little too ambitious for the programmers they had.

believe it or not but every time i saw a game with the dreamcatcher logo on it i just instantly skipped it. There's just something in that publisher that makes me reject its games...

i'll just stay with this short insight rather than deeply lay down the reasons behind this, because im tired and dont feel like typing :P
