My father (that or Sam Kennedy, I can't remember which) once told me that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. If he's right, then Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance -- released a year or so ago for all three consoles -- is so flattered right now that it's beginning to wonder if someone is playing a practical joke on its person. Three RPG adventures (Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel, Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance II, and Champions of Norrath) are about to hit stores all at once -- in the space of a month, in fact. Not only do they all closely follow the original Dark Alliance formula, but they also use the exact same gameplay engine developed by Snowblind Studios for the original Dark Alliance. You might have noticed that all three games look kinda similar in the screenshots -- that's partly because they're all running on the same underlying program code. Now you know.
