Neverwinter Nights Add-On Analysed

Thanks to the nice people at Gamespot, we have an in-depth look at the first expansion to Neverwinter Nights - Shadows Of Undrentide. This add-on to the popular PC RPG title, which ships in the US on June 17th, is easily classified as 'more of a good thing', with an all-new story, prestige classes to extend your character's abilities, and the vital Bigby's Crushing Hand spell. You can find more info on the official Shadows Of Undrentide site.

Hope you like multiplayer and the original game

This expansion seems to 'merely' add a bunch of classes and abilities. The extra 20 hours of game time isn't much. And perhaps I'm a tool (okay, a definite) but I just don't get much replay value out of games of this type. However, for those running a campaign, or wishing for more out of the original, this sounds like a decent expansion.

I think that games.slashdot.org is doing an excellent job so far. It's providing a service for a group that's actually interested in gaming news. Perhaps it's not the best, but you've gotta admit that browsing gaming headlines off of games.slashdot.org is a lot easier than sifting through all the ads on gamespot, gamespy, and ign. Like it or not, it's a lot easier to read under 30 comments by people who, for the most part, have something useful to say, and the experience to back it up. I hope more readers do submit articles, but you can't say those who aren't registered have given false information, who care's who's submitting it so long as it gets here. Quit whining.

Mod me as you will, but give them a break, no one is forcing you to read the site.
