Dungeon Siege 3 PC demo launched
by Alice O'Connor, Jun 07, 2011 8:25am PDTIf you're feeling overwhelmed by all the video game news spilling out of E3, perhaps you need to take a break and actually play a video game. Say, a demo for the PC edition of Obsidian's dungeon-crawling action-RPG Dungeon Siege III.
As Dungeon Siege III is a Steamworks game on PC, you'll need to hit up Steam to download the demo. It's a 1.5GB download.
The Xbox 360 demo hit last week, but who can possibly grumble about a demo arriving before the game actually launches? What a novelty in this day and age. And for PC too, no less!
There's no word on the PlayStation 3 demo yet, which has doubtless been thrown off by the kerfuffle with the PlayStation Network. With PSN now back up and running, hopefully we can expect it soon.
Dungeon Siege III launches for PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on June 21, published by Square Enix.

PC gamers can now go adventuring with the demo for Obsidian's action-RPG, which launched today. The Xbox 360 demo came out last week, while we're still waiting on a PS3 demo.

- Didn't even try without a controller. It's obviously made for one, and plays great with it.
- graphics are nice enough and the art style strikes me as Dungeon Siege-ish
- more emphasis on story it seems
- combat is pretty difficult and promises to get more tactical later on
- pre-made characters aren't bad (I had doubts)
- full voice acting is cool
- seems custom build for Co-op
It's Dungeon Siege alright. The cumbersome loot management has been eliminated and they're faithful to the lore and setting. Gonna try as Anjali later.
