The I of the Dragon: Review @ GCM
   

Game Chronicles has a <a href="http://www.gamechronicles.com/reviews/pc/iotd/dragon.htm" target="_blank">review</a> of Primal's 'I of the Dragon'. The score is 4.4/10 and here's a clip:<blockquote><em>Strategy First keeps putting out RPG’s or at least games with "RPG elements", without having any major success, so it was with some trepidation that I opened up the I of the Dragon box and installed this latest title developed by Primal Software. The last RPG title from Strategy First was Cops 2170 which was more of a strategy-RPG with a number of fatal flaws, but the one that I played before that was Prince of Qin which really had a lot of potential. <br> <br>It wasn't a good sign, however, when launching the game it minimized and popped up a little box saying I needed an Indeo codec driver. Seems to me if the game is going to require some kind of driver it should provide it with the install, but no, it didn't do that, and when I went to the driver web page they wanted $15 to buy the indeo driver. No thanks. I can live without whatever cut scenes are going to be shown with this. Fortunately I was able to get past that and actually get to the game menu and begin playing.</em></blockquote>

The business model for MMPORPGS already assesses what people are willing to pay. People will pay $19/mo. to play WOW, plus extra for a few little perks. All that will happen if ads are incorporated is... game companies make more money!

I think importing ads into non-massive rpgs would be a big big mistake. They could probably kiss a large portion of sales goodbye for the first game they try that on.
