Review: Space Siege

Now, I’m not a massive PC gamer, as a result you will have to forgive me for never playing the original Dungeon Siege game.
One other problem I had with the game was that (apparently) my computer was unable to handle the game properly. Even though the specs of my computer outstripped the ‘Recommended Specs’ (not by much - but was still better) I found that I had to run the game in a windowed view and with all the settings on low. The only thing that might have held me back was my graphics card, although (on paper) it should have been perfectly acceptable.
The main issue here is that I will be unable to judge the game’s graphics as Gas Powered Games intended them to look. But, after the adjusting, the game ran smoothly enough so I can talk about how it plays and whether it is good or not.
Official Space Siege interview & demo released

Sega has posted up a new interview with the CEO and founder of Gas Powered Games, (not to mention the creator of Dungeon Siege), Chris Taylor, talking about their upcoming game, Space Siege.
While I’m pretty interested in the game, the interview certainly feels a little… relaxed, which I’m worried will put some people off the game. But, beyond the slightly ’stoned’ feeling I get from watching it, I can see some potential good, and the game seems to be shaping up rather nicely.
And for those of you who want to give the game a test drive before it’s release then Gamershell are the ones to ask - as they have put up a new demo for the game.

E3 2008: Space Siege

Another game that has been receiving mixed emotions is Space Siege, by Gas Powered Games. The last isometric shooter-style game that Sega published, Alien Syndrome (Wii and PSP), did not go down too well with Sega fans or critics. So it’s not a surprise that some people might be worried.
However Space Siege is a spiritual sequel to the popular Dungeon Siege and is being handled by the same company, so all should be good - we hope. The game certainly looks and sounds better than Alien Syndrome - with a deeper gameplay style, and RPG elements.
Anyway, it’s good to see some new screens and details on the game.
