Where was Dark Messiah of Might and Magic when we had the summertime blues? Barging through this fast-action fantasy story was as good as it gets - perhaps just shy of an Indiana Jones flick on full volume. Sure, Dark Messiah could be billed as a fantasy action role-playing game, played from the first-person perspective - but it'll sucker punch you in the kidneys if you think it's an Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion clone. Dark Messiah is about as far from the lonely, ponderous, soul-searcher ...

Our recent hands-on with Dark Messiah of Might & Magic makes it clear that this is an extremely tough game to pigeonhole into a specific genre. Its brutal, physical first-person action crashes viciously through the tidy role-playing box we'd thought to drop it into when we first heard about it. Our recent hands-on of the first few single player levels violently proves that this isn't just another first-person ... » Read Full Dark Messiah of Might and Magic preview

Jul 18, 2006

Tuesday 18 July 2006 After being charmed by the lively goblin bashing action of its single-player mode, it was with beard trembling excitement that we sat down recently for a hands-on with Dark Messiah of Might and Magic's multiplayer to discover what this fantasy action treat has tucked up its mage's sleeve for gamers who like to play in force. First up, the basics: up to 32 players can opt to side with either human or undead factions and can fight as one of five character classes - archer, ... » Read Full Dark Messiah of Might and Magic preview

We bear witness to the Messiah's amazing multiplayer

Jul 17, 2006

Forcing Dark Messiah of Might and Magic's single-player story and gameplay into a single, distinct genre is just about impossible. But pegging Dark Messiah's multiplayer Crusade mode as sharply influenced by the iconic Battlefield series, and finding the fingerprints of the seminal Team Fortress all over its deep gameplay is clearly right on the money. OK, so it's got a magical (and mighty) twist, but this is class-based team multiplayer at its core - and dare we say - at its finest. We got a ... » Read Full Dark Messiah of Might and Magic preview

[PC] We go hilt deep with this gritty fantasy fighter

Jul 12, 2006

Wednesday 12 July 2006 You should have already seen just how exciting Dark Messiah of Might & Magic's action-packed combat is - just check out some of the footage on our movies tab - but now we've finally had a chance to thrash about in one of the game's single-player levels. And we're pleased to tell you that the orc-bashing feels fantastic. Dark Messiah has a pleasing grittiness to skirmishes that highlights the game's differences to fellow first-person fantasy game, Oblivion. This is a ... » Read Full Dark Messiah of Might and Magic preview

• Dark Messiah of Might & Magic (WMV, 10.7MB) Monday 22 May 2006 With its constant in-your-face combat, Dark Messiah of Might & Magic is set to deliver a far more action orientated experience than fellow first-person adventurer Oblivion. This new trailer will give you an insight into your ultimate adversary, an evil force summoned by a fiendish band of wrong-doers. Don't let the cheddar-grade plot put you off. Dark Messiah's combat system and attention to detail is remarkable. Your ... » Read Full Dark Messiah of Might and Magic preview
