Bard's Tale

Has anyone picked this up?  I liked the originals and was thinking it looked like a great buy for $29, but who knows?

Anyone played the remake?

Oh yeah! It's great. Are you talking about the PS2 version? I loved It. If you played any of the old Baldurs gate: Dark alliance games, It's built on the same Engine.

However, It's more Swarmy with the adult enuendo. hilarious stuff indeed. knowing your sense of humor, I strongly recomend It.

Too cool, I'll have to pic up the PC version then also. Right now I'm waiting on Hulk : Engine of destruction to come out on PC.

Stronghold and Crusaders where always  fun gamea.

I just found out Dungeon Siege 2 finally came out. I need to get that just to support old Pnumonic81 ( Rick). He will always be one of the best modelers that I have ever known, and since he's working for Chris tayler now, I just have to support him.

I have it but haven't had much time to play.  I'm in my second season of NCAA Football, maybe after I finish this year I'll play more Bard's Tale.  The (very) little bit I played did seam pretty fun though.

I went with Stronghold 2.  Quite fun, but some of the battles are VERY hard to win.
