DS2 Demo
Seems to be cool demo season.
I picked up the Demo for Dungeon Seige 2 form gamershell.com
I'm not very far into it yet, but so far it at least doesn't have the same fundamental game-play flaws as the first one.
And it looks pretty sweet, even on my somewhat-old machine.

Dungeon Seige was the Diablo-esk RPG that was released by Microsoft. Zanthian and I wer co-oping through it and having a blast until we noticed the flaw, which ruined the game... I'm sure you've heard me complain about it before:
You could NEVER equip any items that were more powerful than the base equipment for characters of that level. Because when you found magic stuff, the lvl req. was always set to exactly the same as whatever non-magical equipment that the added magic made it equivalent to. Ruined the whole game, cause you couldn't really look forward to finding cool items...
So far it looks like that is not an issue for DS2...
Also, now that I've played it a little further, I can tell you that the interface is slick and the plot has the chance of developing into something that is not totally stupid.
The only real issue with it so far is that the combat is still Diablo-esk. You can't just select a target and let your continue to character attack, you have to keep clicking or hold down the attack button on the monster in order to attack continuously.
I'm through the first act. It is very cool.
