Game: Masters of Arms Publisher: Second World Simulations Series: d20 Reviewer: Wyrdmaster Review Dated: 20th, September 2002 Reviewer’s Rating: 8/10 [ Really good ] Total Score: 8 Average Score: 8.00 Oh great. A book of prestige classes, 36 prestige classes in 96 pages for $18.95. That’s just over 50c a prestige class and would […]

Neverwinter Nights
Game: Neverwinter Nights Publisher: Atari Reviewer: Wyrdmaster Review Dated: 19th, September 2002 Reviewer’s Rating: 6/10 [ On the ball ] Total Score: 100 Average Score: 7.14 I’ll stand up and admit it; I think Neverwinter Nights is overrated.

Dungeon Siege
Game: Dungeon Siege Publisher: Microsoft Reviewer: Wyrdmaster Review Dated: 19th, September 2002 Reviewer’s Rating: 7/10 [ Good ] Total Score: 44 Average Score: 5.50 Microsoft’s Dungeon Siege isn’t really a roleplaying game. It’s a lot of fun though. Why isn’t Dungeon Siege a roleplaying game? You don’t really do any roleplaying. Sure, you play […]

Game: Arcanum Publisher: Havas Interactive Reviewer: Wyrdmaster Review Dated: 19th, September 2002 Reviewer’s Rating: 7/10 [ Good ] Total Score: 74 Average Score: 7.40 Arcanum needs to be given a chance or two. I gave it three. My first character, a gnome pistol duellist, killed himself with three successive misfires before the first monster […]

Wouldn’t it be better if magic was a little less scientific? Magic works […]
