Taking its cue from the hit Diablo games, 2002's Dungeon Siege was an action role-playing that gave players an opportunity to hack and slash through hundreds of monsters across a fantastical landscape. Now Microsoft and developer Gas Powered Games are readying the sequel to Dungeon Siege, and though Microsoft announced the game last year, we've had few details thus far. But we had the opportunity recently to ask members of the development team about the game, which is due to arrive early in 2005.
