Barely a year has passed since the original game breezed across our monitors and we're already up to this, the second expansion pack, allegedly the final episode in the SpellForce saga. As seasonally mistimed as the last (which introduced a wintry world of ice and frosty goblins when we were enjoying a temperate Euro 2004), Shadow Of The Phoenix takes us from the depths of a British winter into the desert lands of Empyria, hot on the heels of your old mucker Darius (famous for his appearance on 'Wizard Idol').
