Disciples is a great game. Disciples II (due out shortly) is on the list of games I'm anxiously waiting for (along with Heroes of Might and Magic IV). The only problem with Disciples was that it never had a large fan base, which meant it was REALLY hard to find people to play online. with HOMM

Ugh, it's been so long since I've played. However, I remember I liked Undead a lot because of their ability to paralyze. That won a lot of battles for me. One thing that impressed me though, was the balance of the game. I had a lot of fun learning to play all the sides...and was eventually

Oh, what a shame... You see, recently I tried to come up with a good 1st person RPG that had LAN (either by TCP/IP or IPX) support so I could play with my stepson over our home network. There are _no_, I repeat, absolutely _no_ 1st person RPGs with LAN support whatsoever, with the exception of

Actually, this topic reminded me of a similar question, what games are you all looking forward this season/next few months? I've remembered about this because this weekend I've received a CD full of demos of upcoming / already released games (Lightweight Ninja, Legends of Might Magic, Gorasul

I must admit I found the Lithtech 2.0 engine on Legends of MM very impressive, If you want to see an impressive use of Lithtech, check out No One Lives Forever... truly the best game of last year. Legends of Migh and Magic didn't take full advantage of the engine and was a terrible game on

I have seen NoLF, seemed like a regular 3d shooter, so I skipped it. You should give it a try. I'm not normally a 3D shooter fan, they all seem to be the same thing over and over again, but NOLF adds a bunch of nice features, including levels were your objective is sneaking around surveilance

Although any character class can use any weapon, they have advantages and disadvantages with those weapons, so for example a Paladin is better with a sword than a Sorceress... according to the information on 3do's page, at least. Now I just wonder if those advantages are easy to spot or not. I
