The Legend of Candlewind: Nights and Candles had me at "Eye of the Beholder"--and lost me about five minutes after I finished the install process. You may be willing to try any role-playing game promising to evoke the feel of the classic D&D first-person adventures, but developer Atmosphere Entertainment Studios' dismal and pointless exercise in nostalgia is unlikely to win your admiration. Mindless action, stupid difficulty, a needlessly convoluted interface, and filmstrip production values combine to turn off even the most forgiving player looking for a blast from the past.

Here are Digitally Downloaded most of the team share a common love for certain styles of gaming. One example of this is the classic dungeon crawler, which has been around since the original Wizardry series. Despite the genre being around for almost as long as gaming, in the past year we've seen something of a resurgeance, with everything from the relatively big-budget Ubisoft release, Might & Magic X, to the one-man-band job, Malevolence: The Sword of Ahkranox. Add in other entries such as the JRPG take on the genre, Demon Gaze, and the indie darling, Legend of Grimrock 2, and there is enough quality out there that people can afford to be choosy.

Man, this is just filled with 16 tons of awesome. That's pretty much all I have to say.
