I have played the game for sometime now, regardless of all that's been said here, I am enjoying the game, the exploration, the old school feel and the combat.

I've found you can move away from enemies if not attacked on multiple sides, the lighthouse boss fight requires you move, other battles you can position yourself by moving on your turn, once you use any characters ability you are locked in place for that turn.

I have no idea if someone who never played this style of game would enjoy it, if might shock some at first, but for me, a veteran of Dungeon Master on the Atari 1040ST, the game was throw-back heaven.

The gimmicks, game mechanics and dialog look as if they were ripped from the early Atari 1040ST and Amiga from the late 80's. I can remember playing all of those mini games, exactly as shown in the review... so it's 'likely' those who wrote this game had a hand in those or had a floppy disk of code that found it's way into the new millennium.

The service is 50/5, and that 5 upload could be as low as 1-2... so tell me, how in the world can a gamer play a game that depends on response to stay alive or be of any use to teammates?! You can't... and worse yet, your fellow gamers will blame you for your crappy skills, and you might not even understand that no amount of in-game gold can fix your gear or improve your skills.

I find it incredible that Blizzard uses a password system that is Not case sensitive and then wonders why hackers have a field day... this simple, foolish move makes owning an authenticator mandatory.

How many games are we going to see scrambling to patch obvious defects in the code? I stopped buying games off Steam for the first week of release, I learned a very good lesson from RAGE, which laughed at me along with Steam for forking out 50 bucks.

The choice to buy a collectors edition should be based on your love of that game, it's doubtful any of them will be worth more than you paid, ever. They make too many, too many get put in a closet upon purchase so the attrition rate is very low, and with the presence of ebay anyone has access to buyers for resale, not to mention all the other used game outlets.

I buy the C.E. for in-game items, pets, mounts, outfits, titles and other useful (or not so useful!) items. The art books found in many of them are great stuff too, along with music soundtracks... but the cheap statues, postcards, and bobbleheads are dust collectors only.

Most of the time you'll never know what's collectible until it is, example; I had some very dusty rolled-up posters I hauled around for no good reason, I was about to throw them out so I looked to see what I had hauled through time. One was a Diablo promo poster shoved in my face for free at a Best Buy opening back in the 90's, the other was an Elder Scrolls Daggerfall collectors edition poster (I still wear the T-shirt from it!). I decided to sell them both on ebay, 7 days later I had close to $300 and 2 happy collectors.

Another aspect of game collecting memorabilia is the international market, you may buy a CE thinking they only made XXXX numbers, but then it becomes clear from looking at ebay and other markets the Asian sales of the same product seemly have no end and at bargain prices. This is when you better like that 24" tall Golem with no teeth.
