Open the box, chuck everything onto the table and the first thing that'll grab your attention is the rulebook. It's gorgeous. Every single page is printed in full colour and there are images taken straight from the film on almost every page. Of course, once you've spent enough time gawping at the pretty pictures you'll want to read the rules. [More]

Berendir @ 4:00 pm EST
Thanks to Wollan for sending this in! Soon the new PS2 action RPG game Baldurs gate: Dark alliance will be released. Its the first console version of the Baldurs gate game. At Gamespot, they uncovered in their review of BG:DA(that got a very good 8.8 out of 10!) the voice actors of the game. Here is a paste: "The voice talents include Michael Bell, perhaps best known as the voice of Raziel in Crystal Dynamics' Soul Reaver games and of Duke from G.I. Joe, and John Rhys-Davies of Indiana Jones and Sliders fame." Here is the adress to the review by the way if you want to check it out yourself. [More]
