Titan Quest (PC)

Herald rating: * * *

Pros: The pedigree of Titan Quest's creators shows through with solid presentation and story-telling in this slash-fest based on Greek, Egyptian and Asian mythology.

Cons: For all the attention to detail, it feels like a mishmash of good ideas stolen from games that have come before. A few frustrating game play features don't help.

Verdict: Borrows too heavily from classics like Diablo and last year's console-based bestseller God of War. This won't revolutionise the fantasy-adventure game genre.

Censor's classification: 12+
