Dungeon Siege: Throne of Agony

"If you thought Dungeon Siege was only a PC game, then you'll be in for a surprise later this month when Dungeon Siege: Throne of Agony ships on the PlayStation Portable. The first Dungeon Siege game for a console or a handheld, Throne of Agony is set in the hack-and-slash fantasy world of Aranna, where your job is to run around and battle evil, mainly by killing as many monsters as you can. As we found out by playing a work-in-progress version of the game, this can be quite rewarding, and as you might expect, it bears little resemblance to its PC cousins."

"Throne of Agony offers the Dungeon Siege experience, albeit tweaked for a mobile audience. Combat is more dynamic and visceral thanks to these changes, though old-school fans may long for the point-and-click interface of the original. Along with great presentation and accessibility, Throne of Agony offers a lengthy quest filled memorable locations and snazzy enemies. Some of the quests will feel a little shallow, but overall the game’s strengths outweigh its weaknesses."

"Throne of Agony is arguably the best Action-RPG available on the PSP at the moment, and if you're a fan of the genre it'd be a criminal to skip this in favour of some of the more derivative fair that clutters the Sony release schedule from time to time."
