In a short while, I’ll be off to Cambridge. I just thought I’d have a bit of a mooch around the shops, to get a bit of fresh air, but also because it should be fun – I haven’t been into the town for a while – and it will be a change of scenery.

Before then, I thought I’d write a piece on a game that looks as though it could be pretty exciting, when it finally hits the shelves. Like many big titles these days, it’s been pushed back. I’m not complaining – if it helps make the product more polished, it’s fine by me.

This company also made Baldur’s Gate and Mass Effect – which are award winning games – so the pedigree is there. And more so than those games, this one is more up my street. It seems to be something of a mix between the two: branching story line, like Mass Effect, and dungeon crawling like Baldur’s Gate. It will be interesting to see how it develops.
