Posted: 12 Aug 2014 07:33 AM PDT

So Far, So Cheesy

It was with trepidation that I booted up Risen 3: Titan Lords, Piranha Bytes' newest entry to the RPG franchise. Out today on PC, Xbox 360, and PS3, Risen 3 is still rife with the campy voice overs its forebears are famous for, but I'd also say my first couple of hours have been... surprisingly fun. Titan Lords isn't going to sweep awards at year's end, but so far it's been an enjoyable RPG. Read on for more of our first impressions.

Everything about those early Azerothian days seems great in hindsight... until I remember why I quit the first time (lack of level 60 content). But today, I thought I'd pull out one of my fondest Azerothian memories from the fall and winter of 2004, when we were all noobs slinging Chuck Norris jokes in General Chat.
