Of particular interest to us, of course, is the RPG section. I was surprised, though, about the relatively large number of Adventure titles. Mmmm…

"The Whispered World" looks very much like an adventure game with the look of Simon The Sorcerer.

It's actually one of the few games I'm *really* looking forward to (apart from So Blone).

Looking forward to the C&C titles and to (of course) Nikopol. Not that I could play them due to hardware limitations *grins*.

I'd really like a new space sim or so. I absolutely loved Freelancer but never tried out Darkstar One due to mixed reviews (and probably no multiplayer). Some deep space opera usually makes for a refreshing change from all the classic fantasy I'm exposed to. But it appears the only other space games are strategy or MMOs…

DSO is so cheap now that the risk is minimal.
A new space game is in development somewhere in the 5 new colonies. I forgot the exact name. Supernova or so. They get additional funding from the same source as Radon Labs for Drakensang.

No, a look at our keyboard would have told you it was a simple typo.

I was joking, by the way.

You don't know how much I need to correct my own texts …

I played the demo, the problem is probably that there is too much flying without anything else to do.
