Gaming Union's very on conscripted and self-proclaimed art director - that's me - is back with yet another hidden gem. Previously, I rambled on about a fun and addictive rhythm game for the PlayStation Portable known as DJ Max Portable. Now, from underneath the dusty rug, I bring to your attention Dungeon Siege: Throne of Agony.
Throne of Agony is an RPG akin to that of the Diablo games and was developed by SuperVillain Studios and published by 2K Games back in ye old 2006 for the PlayStation Portable. The plot takes us to the world of Aranna, just after the passing of the Second Cataclysm, pretty much picking up from where Dungeon Siege II left off. A mysterious force long since forgotten has returned, drawing adventurers to the desolate wastelands of the northern territories. There are three characters to choose from, each with their own reasons for fighting, some fight to save their people while others journey for more intimate reasons.
Gamerzines, who have already launched free Xbox 360 and PC games magazines, have just published the first issue of HGZine. Handheld Gamerzine covers Nintendo DS and Sony PSP games, and the first issue is packed with reviews of Sid Meier's Pirates, Mario vs Donkey Kong 2, Ghost Rider, Castlevania, Dungeon Siege and more. There are previews of Pokemon Diamond and Pearl, Zelda Phantom Hourglass, Manhunt 2, Driver 76 and an exclusive interview with Burnout Detonator Senior Producer, Nick Channon.
As with other Gamerzines, the magazine is written by professional games journalists and published for free in PDF format. The magazine is enhanced with video and multimedia.
2K, a publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. TTWO, and SuperVillain Studios announced today that Dungeon Siege(R): Throne of Agony(TM) for the PSP(R) (PlayStation(R)Portable) system is now available in stores in North America.
I remember watching my brother play that game, wish I had :O
For such a relatively short game, there was certainly a lot to do in it. Mogrim was pretty cool, I liked his story lol.
Sounds interesting
It has a 75 average.. or around there. Quite a fun game if you like hack and slash loot games. This is the closest thing to Diablo you can find on a handheld, hell even on a console.
If I had to find faults, the game has some glitches and bugs, and its not very difficult. Its still a fun romp though and the unique story for the three characters gives extra incentive to replay the game.
