Dungeon Siege is everything an Action-RPG should be. There’s a metric assload and a half of fighting, starting in the first five seconds of the game. The monsters are original and fun to cut down. The character classes are easy to understand and leveling makes sense. There are no obscure rules you need to know before playing. And best of all, there are a lot of cool weapons and items to find. Toss this all in with a fabulous engine, spread it out over 100 hours of gameplay (single and multi), and what more could you ask for?

Who would I recommend Dungeon Siege to? If you liked Diablo II (and several million people do), you’ll really like Dungeon Siege. I think it’s better than Diablo II by a long shot. The action is better since you can travel with eight characters. The fighting is more tactical since your characters have so many attack options. The pack mule really helps you manage your money and equipment. The graphics are truly 3D with a fantastic art style. If you’re an RTS/Tactical gamer, you’ll probably like Dungeon Siege as well. There’s a huge tactical element in fighting with a group of eight. Even if you’re not into RPGs, Dungeon Siege is a good place to start. This is a game I’d give to a friend that’s never tried PC gaming before; it’s that good.
