It is a PC game, and it is also the cheapest of the RPGs that I'm currently reviewing; it is only 30 dollars. Lately I've had a really bad run with cheap games; while sometimes a real jewel can be found on the cheaper game rack, it seems that lately my luck turned up only garbage. But at the same time I could not make myself ignore this title. While my job deems that I pay attention and try to review all the games that are released, this time I can not blame my job for making this purchase. For reasons unknown I have been strongly drawn towards Drakensang. It is a game made my THQ and although all publishers have some lemons, for the most part, THQ is a company that I respect. But, once again, it wasn't THQ that made me pick up a copy."
Nerd Rock from the Sun writes: "There are only two rules right now, but I might make up others as I go along.
"First, I need to really role-play my character — as best as I can, at least.
"Second, if the character dies he (or she) stays dead, because that’s just how life is. No reloads whatsoever. Which might make for a very short or a very long game, depending on how things go."
