I imagine this will be short so don't fret. Something happened to me in the fall of 2002, I bought Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance for the PS2 and I had a blast. Then I showed my wife and she and I had a blast. That Christmas I had a blast with several other people as I introduced them to the game. Afterward I was googling "Snowblind" desperately hoping they had a sequel or ten in the works. Fortunately the PS2 was blessed with Dark Alliance II and the Champion of Norrath series and so my cravings found a fix. With the introduction of the "next gen" I was bitterly disappointed and still am. The PS3 has two games now that fit in the multiplayer Action RPG range--Marvel Ultimate Alliance and Untold Legends. Untold helped about as much as a breadstick to a starving man. There was fun to be had but it was clearly a rush job that paled in comparison to even the first Dark Alliance game. Marvel Ultimate Alliance did a better job at placating me, but since I am not that big a fan of comics I was not able to get into the game as much as I had with the PS2 games. I like to really shape what my character looks like and that is hard to do when your character's appearanceis predetermined (i.e. spiderman, wolverine, and so on). It seems that game fills aniche within a niche in gaming.Where are all this gen's titles? Ithought to myself "Snowblind games are going to be sweet on the PS3," but there aren't any so I don't know. If this weren't enough there isno onewilling to fill that void. For being such a success on the PS2 where is next Champions of Norrath? Sony should beall over that since there wouldbe no competition in the genre. That game would rake in some cash, especially mine.I know it would fall into a niche market probably but I would love to see a multiplayer (four hopefully) action rpg along the lines of Champions or Dark Alliance but set in the Star Wars Universe. Imagine running along with a lightsaber or a blaster or a crossbow with three friends. It's a nice dream isn't it. That's all I have the steam for today. Merry Christmas.
