John Bedford (Modojo): It's inevitable that much of a review about a touchscreen version of Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition will center around the specific challenges of bringing this classic PC RPG to a tablet. While long-term fans will already know every last detail of the game's sprawling content and system design, it's enough for everyone else to know that this is a timeless fantasy adventure built around party combat, endless invisible dice-rolls and deep tactical group play. What unites both camps of course is the question of how this hardcore RPG translates from the keyboard, mouse and bigger display of a PC, to the very different touchscreen platform.
The Humble RPG Legends Bundle just launched today. It includes nine items including Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition, Neverwinter Nights: Complete Adventures, and more.
Daily Video Game writes: "Amazon has just added several more new games under $10 and $20 to celebrate its Prime Day, but these deals are not limited to just Prime members. That means even if you are not a Prime member, you could take advantage of these deals right now across multiple gaming platforms!"
If you are anything like me, a lot of what you do for work, for fun, and for staying in touch with friends depends on the great and mighty World Wide Web. So, imagine what would happen if the gang of neighborhood cats chewed through the power cords, cutting off your electricity. Or the alien hackers from outer space sent a destructive virus that crumbles the infrastructure of the internet in a matter of seconds. Devastating disasters like this could come in more mundane forms as well. Maybe your parents turn off your service or you are going on a trip to a remote, Wi-Fi-less destination.
Is the fact that a screenshot from Planescape: Torment was used as the article's image some kind of subtle joke?
