Review by Tracy Erickson on 01/09/2008:
"Those dark shadows you see on the ground are vultures circling high above the Kingdom Under Fire series. The hollow carcass of a role-playing game is all you'll find in the latest installment, Circle of Doom, which is dead on arrival due to some crippling flaws. Underwhelming action and shallow role-playing mechanics send this aptly titled game spiraling toward ruin."
Verdict: No matter how you slice it, Circle of Doom just doesn't have any appeal.
Pros: Supports up to four players for cooperative play over Xbox Live.
Cons: The combat is bland, the character development options are shallow and the story

Following Electronic Theatre’s recent series of articles revealing all-new details on the highly anticipated Kingdom Under Fire II, today we have something a bit different. Having now been at the forefront of Action RTS gaming for more than a decade, the Kingdom Under Fire series is a shining light for the genre. And now approaching it’s fifth title, Blueside has taken the time to explain to Electronic Theatre’s just how Kingdom Under Fire II fits into the Kingdom Under Fire universe.
Looking forward to the game but is there a official release date of the game yet?
Kingdom Under Fire II is currently in development at BLUESIDE Inc. for PC online and console, and aims to perfect the Action Strategy genre that the series is best known for. Set to continue the ten year legacy of the Kingdom Under Fire series, Kingdom Under Fire II will be the fifth release in the successful videogame franchise.
So, Boxing Day is upon us. Did you get what you really wanted? Well, I'm sure any videogames you may have gotten are already/soon-to-be completed, and you're hungry for more. With the January Sales right around the corner, it's time to take a look at some more of 2008's greatest achievers; disc-based retail releases from February...
