"In order to maintain my grumpy old man image, it's become essential to foster some pet hates. One of these is silly game names - you know the ones: not enough vowels and too many subtitles. So when I learnt of Danish developers Peroxide's new game, I instantly felt warm and fuzzy towards them. Era is a defiantly single-player RPG, which they openly admit is a tribute to Ultima V [sic!], a game generally agreed to be one of the best of that series. Using a proprietary engine to create a lush world (pictured), Era's details are a little scant but I have high hopes for the end of the year."
