Dark Vengeance

The story in Dark Vengeance just gets better as the game progresses, which is rare in action-based titles. Like a good book, the further you get into Dark Vengeance, the more interesting it becomes. It's this feature that sets it apart from comparable games such as Unreal.

If you prefer traditional first-person shooters, Dark Vengeance is probably not for you; this is not a run-down-the-hall-blasting-everything-that-moves sort of game. DV needs a carefulness -- a purposefulness -- that isn't required in most of that category. Players of Tomb Raider or Myth should probably get along with it if they don't find the interface too obstructing.

Reality Bytes, a long time Mac developer, has recently released their latest title, Dark Vengeance, a graphically stunning dungeon crawler with poor control and a terrible camera. In Dark Vengeance players get to do what they usually do, run around a massive dungeon hacking enemies to bits with fantastic weaponry and magic. While the came embraces the usual dungeon crawling play mechanics, it does have a few unique twists that attempt to set it apart from its fantasy brethren while succumbing to many of the genre's worst flaws.
