Dark Messiah - Review @ GameDaily

Saying it has "squeal like a school-girl charm", GameDaily's review of Dark Messiah scored 8/10.  Here's the opening:

On the surface, Dark Messiah Might and Magic is a masterful reinvention of a legendary franchise, taking turn based strategy role playing elements and transforming it into a first person action "shooter." While this isn't new (Deus Ex) the magical infusion of these ingredients, combined with a robust multiplayer component and a brass knuckled pulp fantasy story helps make Messiah one of the more enjoyable games of the year.
