Under the Radar: The RPG Edition

Pixel Verdict doesn’t think that the role-playing games being released this fall are getting enough coverage, so they’ve taken it upon themselves to profile several of the bigger titles. Dragon Age: Origins, Alpha Protocol, Demon’s Souls, and Risen are all included:

The developers at Germany’s Pihrana Bytes studio are no strangers to open world RPGs. Their past works, the first three entries in the popular Gothic series on PC aren’t exactly well known for their polish, but they are heralded among the hardcore PC role-players for their open ended gameplay and huge worlds. Risen promises more of the same, and looks pretty stunning. It will probably be closer to Two Worlds than Oblivion, but for fans of this sort of (go anywhere, do anything) style of non-linear role playing, you should be gauranteed a good time.
