As some of you may know, my preferred type of game is basically Diablo/Darkstone - a genre which is sometimes dismissed as "action" RPG

I like the ability to collect various bits and bobs and tinker with my characters to get the best setup with regard to equipment etc. At heart I'm a packrat and will happily dispense with the whole THACO/3rd Edition -v- 2nd Edition ruleset malarky in favour of carnage and mayhem. Call me shallow if you will, but that's just the kind of guy I am.

Now it's been a while since I saw something that really appealed to me, Dungeon Siege was a big disappointment, NWN was a nice distraction, but I never felt the need to replay it, Gothic II and KotOR were fun, but lacked a certain something. Divine Divinity, Morrowind and several others are sitting in their packaging sampled, but dismissed.

So there I was, browsing the wastes of cyberspace when I saw an article about a newly released game demo. The description seemed interesting, so I tracked it down and installed.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you SACRED. Old school isometric action RPG goodness, now with added horses!

Get Googling.
