Magic's the way to go.

It’s all the meat, none of the fat – it’s the Internet favorite, a tiny sketch of content you can read in under a minute.

Sacred 2 PS3

What is it?: Action RPG.

Pros: Huge overworld, tons of quests, many character classes with detailed customization, nice art style & character design, great magic control, lots of enemy types, tons of loot, great skill selection interface, great camera control.

Just OK: Melee control, melee combat, inventory interface, voice acting, graphics.

Cons: May be too detailed  for many players, characters who specialize in melee & range weapons are dull to play, some slowdown/frame-rate issues, skimpy instruction book.

Overall: If you’ve got some time to invest & like specializing in magic, this above average effort will tide you over ’till Diablo 3 arrives.

Score: 7.5 out of 10.
