Seems like it has shades of Mail Order Monsters. That said, I'm not really into the squad-based PvP which seems to be what the game is focus upon.

no i think this might be a good game, there were no boobs in the opening cinematic and they used words like "transmutation" and "quantum DNA".

nice ambient music. it's like diablo so far only that you can choose on the battle field to switch between a healer, some tank like character and one more.

the first levels are on floating rocks close to a black hole where the "DARK SPORE" learned how to use cosmic rays for energy.

It's probably better than Dragon Age II.

By the end of this year, DAII will be considered GOTY even by us.

Since I refuse to play it, at least I wont be giving it a vote. I'll save that vote for Mass Effect 3. ;)

You have successfully added zelda64whatagreatgame to your ignore list.

The real question is, why did I ever take you off my ignore list.

the thing that seems worrying to me is that there are a hundred different heroes. it should be hard to get any decent balance out of this while still retaining a marked difference between the heroes.
