There was a time that I gave up playing video games. This was mostly due to my available PC at the time being about 5 or 6 generations old, but it had more to do with the gaming experiences that I had come across that led to that point. Most of the games that I had played at that time were only entertaining unto themselves. By that I mean, they were well designed and challenging enough, but they did not stay with me after I played them and there was nothing that I could take away from the experience save having spent two or three hours having a decent enough time. For some people this may be enough, but after I started playing games again, I found that the medium as a whole had matured and so had the games that were available. To me Dungeon Siege II is a reminder of the boredom that led me to give up video games for that brief 1 or 2 years. While the game itself is really well designed, and playing it is enjoyable enough, after I exit the game, there is nothing that stays with me. I could have just as easily been daydreaming for the past three hours of gameplay, rather than pointing and clicking my way through a thousand enemies. And believe me, when it comes down to it, make sure you have an expendable mouse to play to with, or one that will stand ten thousand plus left and right clicks an hour.
