I've managed to gather up a few random links for today. Several of the articles were actually published last week, but if you haven't seen them yet, they're still worth a read!

GameBanshee Reviews Two Worlds - They call it mediocre.

TeamXbox Reviews Two Worlds - They award the game a measly 5.1 score.

IGN's Two Worlds Review - Not a particularly high grade from them, but still higher than many of the reviews out there.

GameSpot Previews Hellgate: London - Read their thoughts and impressions on the highly anticipated RPG here.

Heavenly Sword rated by GameSpot - And they seem to like it, awarding it a solid 8.0.

Shivering Isles and Two Worlds

In anticipation for the upcoming Two Worlds, I decided to go back to playing some of Shivering Isles. I downloaded Shivering Isles immediately after the release, but I've been occupied and despite being a big Oblivion fan, never got around to finishing it.

With Two Worlds, the hyped Oblivion-killer, coming out shortly, I'm starting to get excited. Needless to say, Shivering Isles is pretty solid. If you love Oblivion, then you'll love Shivering Isles. The game is already huge, but Shivering Isles adds a lot more to the game and proves to be a much more fufilling expansion than Knights of the Nine.

Two Worlds has to be one of the most anticipated games around on the RPG-scene. It promises a non-linear storyline, the ability to shape the game world with your actions, and an 8 player multi-player mode. Personally, I'm a sucker for games that give you a lot of freedom and allow you to influence the story and alter the world around you (Knights of the Old Republic, Fable, Morrowind, Oblivion, etc.). Let's just hope Two Worlds achieves that...
