We didn't see it coming, but somehow the early months of 2004 have been marked by a glut of dungeon-crawling action RPGs. As of mid-February, we've already plowed through Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles, Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel, Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance II, and Champions of Norrath. Amazingly, the latter three games are even powered by the very same engine, which gives them an awfully similar look and feel. We recently met with Interplay founder and current InXile Entertainment CEO Brian Fargo to check out an early version of his own dungeon-crawling action game, titled The Bard's Tale, which is a spiritual successor (if not a direct remake) of his classic series of PC RPGs.
