Review: Majesty 7:14 AM CDT - Posted By Eric Lopez
 We truly live in an age of excess where quantity, not quality, matters in our society. This is especially evident in the entertainment industry where movies and computer games are seemingly excreted rather than presented to the public in an effort to capture a piece of the almighty dollar share. But every now and then a gem emerges from the flotsam that so captivates your heart, you're hard pressed to find any fault with it whatsoever, and you walk away feeling a little more optimistic about the state of the industry. Majesty - the fantasy kingdom sim by Cyberlore Studios is one of these gems. |

 I liked the first Dungeon Keeper. The evil creatures, the strategic dungeon design, the slaps that motivate - they all came together and added up to a game that was not only challenging, but also immensely fun. Imagine my excitement when I purchased Dungeon Keeper 2; this past year had so many awesome yet not completely ground-breaking sequels, I was pleasantly blessed with more gaming goodness from some of my all time favorites. Dungeon Keeper 2 was the best of those summer sequels, hands down. |
