Diehard GameFAN: Venetica is a new action RPG published by Atari here in the US, even though it’s been out in Europe (courtesy of DTP Entertainment) for a few months (the UK) to a little over a year (Germany). It hit stores yesterday (01/11/11) and I’ve put several hours in to the game. It’s too soon for the review as it’s a pretty big game, but I thought I’d whip up a “Ten Thoughts” column to let you know if this budget RPG is worth picking up, or if it’s something you should leave on the shelves.
GuG Writer, Maurice Pogue does a review of Venetica on the PC.
From arcade games and RPGs, to shooters and music games, there is a multitude of quality games that can be purchased for a fraction of the price of a new release.

sounds interesting
Why can't more review sites do this? Play the game first and take their time with it before rushing a review out. I realize in most cases websites get review copies, but that isn't the case everytime.
Nice to see some positivity for the game. I find it interesting that UK reviewers hated it, but the rest of Europe really liked it.
