I'm a HUGE fan of the various Infinity engine (on the PC: Baldur's Gate series, Icewind Dale series, and Planescape) and Snowblind engine games (the Baldur's Gate series on the PS2) that have come and gone. This new Daggerdale game reminds me of those in a big way.

  1. I'm in but most likely for the PS3. These sorts of games play out way better from a couch than on PC, IMHO. And if there is 2 player co-op (like the PS2 Snowblind games) then my wife can also play.
