Fantasy games often conjure up the typical geek image, most people are afraid to say: Yeah, I play Dungeons and Dragons and yeah I enjoy it. If you’re the slightest bit alternative in this world, you’re met by scorn and derision from those people who dare to call themselves – your peers. So it was, being a bit of a fan of D&D myself and daring to be different from the masses of suit-wearing nine-to-five mostly mundane types out there, that I got in contact with Big Ben Interactive and warbled to them about the game: Spellforce – Order of Dawn.

I’d heard about this game before you see and it got my interest, because it promised to combine the RPG with the RTS, something that no game has quite yet managed until now. Yes that’s right, I believe we have arrived a moment of RPG/RTS nirvana for a while at least. JoWood are known to have had a few hit and miss titles over the time, but I can say that Spellforce is one of their hits.
