As much as I love playing RPGs (role playing games), I absolutely hate reviewing them.

The reason that I don't appreciate reviewing RPGs is because if you are going to write an accurate review about an RPG, usually, you have to put over 20 hours of gameplay into the game if you expect the review to be accurate and have any real merit.

Reviewing two RPGs in one week usually means that I end up putting at least 10 hours overtime, but that's part of my job. So far I'm working on 3 RPGs as we speak; one is on the PSP, one is on the Xbox 360 and the other one is made for the PC. It is the PC game that I'm covering in this review.

Drakensang - The Dark Eye is the name of the RPG that is covered in this review. It is a PC game, and it is also the cheapest of the RPGs that I'm currently reviewing; it is only 30 dollars. Lately I've had a really bad run with cheap games; while sometimes a real jewel can be found on the cheaper game rack, it seems that lately my luck turned up only garbage. But at the same time I could not make myself ignore this title. While my job deems that I pay attention and try to review all the games that are released, this time I can not blame my job for making this purchase. For reasons unknown I have been strongly drawn towards Drakensang. It is a game made my THQ and although all publishers have some lemons, for the most part, THQ is a company that I respect. But, once again, it wasn't THQ that made me pick up a copy. It feels like unknown forces are drawing me towards this game. Will I love it or will I hate it? There's only just one way to find out: I must play and play and play the game some more. And when I think I've played enough to draw judgment, I must play it some more. But that's the case with RPGs.
