Drakensang Contest — Game Giveaway
Feb 2, 2009 Gaming
2/18 Edit. The game is finally available. Get it on Amazon for $29.99 right here.
——————————————————
The North American release of Drakensang is very, very close, and I’ve got something special thanks to the folks at THQ: a free copy of the game for a giveaway.
Drakensang, for perhaps many of you that don’t know, is a CRPG in the spirit of the 90’s “Realms of Arkania” series. It brings back the epic, party-based RPG in a rich 3D world with incredible detail and character development.
Here’s a bit from the IGN preview on the game:
In terms of mechanics and overall flavor, Drakensang evokes the best features of many popular PC RPGs. It has the focused story line of games like Baldur’s Gate, the party-based mechanics of Neverwinter Nights 2, and the depth of detail of games like those in the Elder Scrolls series. After getting familiar with the mechanics and diving into the story, it felt to us a bit like a party-based version of Morrowind, without the distraction of all those optional side quests.
The game was developed by Radon Labs in Germany, where its success was enough to get it a major North American publisher. We have the copy of the game for the commenter who provides the best caption for this screen grab.
Have fun! The contest will run until this Monday (the 9th). At that time I’ll announce the winner and get the game shipped off to them. Be sure to leave a valid email address so I can contact you if you win.
Thanks for stopping by!

After careful consider, Milok wishes he hadn’t made the comment about her boots.

Phillip suddenly wishes he hadn’t worn such a constrictive dress today.

Well, I couldn’t resist, “Helga asserts the age old plattitude; ‘no’ means ‘no’.” …but that would be too easy.
so, I’ll go with, “Honey, whatever happened to your idea of marriage counseling?”
