I hadn't actually heard or Risen before I read the guide, which kind of disappoints me -- I've had so little time to keep up with the gaming scene. =( This is made even more embarrassing by the fact that it was reviewed on Neoseeker... =O

It's not very popular. I wish more people cared about it.
Try the demo and buy the crap out of it! It could entertain for years.

I hate living where I do. I have to order all this stuff in if I want it. I'm still shocked that my local game store no longer stocks Risen. Apparently a month old game is too old to order more stock in for.

Have you considered digital downloads?

Mishtram, it's not sort of, it is absolutely Gothic 4, just not named so for legal reasons (the upcoming Arcania: A Gothic Tale, from a different studio, sounds barely like Gothic...they're changing everything, seemingly for the worse).

I prefer games that let me discover them instead of shoving themselves in my face.

It's even more gorgeous in action. Mmmmm.
You should be able to if your PC is decent, but on low settings it looks quite different. Still very playable but not so much with the "wowwww" factor. I would say it's worth upgrading for, absolutely, if you can't run it.

Attaboy!

The guide is still being updated as we come out with more reviews.

The music games section has been expanded to include The Beatles Rock Band, among other things.
You'll also find games like Dragon Age on there as well.
Just some extra content until we come out with the official Part 2.

I'm gonna check out Risen anyway.

You must.
