Developer: Funcom Publisher: Funcom Projected Release Date: Q4 2006

Impressions: Combat, combat and more combat. A lush, beautiful world full of bandits and warriors, spilled blood and naked torsos. Striking all enemies around you at once with a swing of your weapon looks mighty fun. Impressive, motion-captured horse animations. Inspired dev team.

Killer: Beheadings! Awesome Char Gen System, rich world lore.
Filler: Funcom's first MMO launch (Anarchy Online) was a wreck. I remember. I was there and suffered through months of bugs and disconnects. One assumes they learned their lessons well.

The Hotness (10 being flamin' hawt!): 8.5
