Dungeon Siege 3 (demo)
Pros:
* gives you Dungeon Siege 1 for the pre-order
* better graphical step from DS2 to DS3 than it was from DS1 to DS2 (which almost seemed like a downgrade)
Cons:
* so far, you can only get the first two games on Steam by pre-ordering DS3. no thanks
* gives you Dungeon Siege 2 for the pre-order
* better graphics, but confusing design. it's hard to tell which things you can interact with until you're right on top of them, and items arbitrarily vary from auto-pickup to click-pickup. the palette choices are so wonky that everything's just fucking hard to see and keep track of, even on a 26" screen
* awkward controls that forced me to use a gamepad in a series established by the PC. I don't even know if I can use the keyboard/mouse other than in the main menu, and sometimes not even the keyboard will work. I'll unplug my 360 controller and try again later. also, it could just be me, but the reactions seem delayed a bit
* minimap doesn't do a great job of pointing out important things like NPC's
* limited menu options
* $50 USD. sorry, aussies, it's still too much for me
The cons have it.
