Pixel Kill has put up their 2nd day report for ECTS. The report is 5 pages long, and around a quarter is RPG related, which includes Funcoms RPGs (Anarchy Online and the upcoming Midgard), Freedom Force, and Call of Cthulhu. Heres something quick from the report:
Freedom Force
Irrational's superhero game was tucked away in the NDL stand and I was lucky enough (well patient enough) to get a turn at it. It's immediately obvious that this game is just fun in a box and the interface is extremely intuitive. It only took me a few seconds to crack it and get right into playing the mission. Most things can be done just by selecting a character (either by clicking on their model or portrait) then right clicking on whatever you want to affect. So clicking on an enemy will let you pick an attack from a small pop-down menu, or if you're strong enough clicking on an object like a rock (or, strangely, a surprisingly lethal hedge) will let you pick it up to lob it at someone. The characters could come straight out of a "golden era" comic and the music is just perfect, sounding rather like a 60s sci-fi movie theme without being quite so annoying. The graphics aren't going to wow you with shiny sources and insane polygon counts, but they impressed me by conveying the style of a comic book so well in 3D, the art direction is really spot on. It's hard not to crack a smile when playing this game, it's just loaded with so much charm.
You can read it all right here.
