yes , these are great news two , but I am wondering since M&M was good in true 3d movement if it will be good enough with turn-based movement .. I wish It stay like M@M 6-8

I agree, number 9 was in other things too pretty ridiculous - especially the face-graphics.
If they use a lua-db-engine again, they should take care that they hire people who know what they are doing.
There were a lot of bugs in the last games which never really have been patched (which wasn't too complicated).

A little older is a weakness in the battlesystem.
A combination of the paralyze spell with some hard damaging spell killed all in no time. Hope they spot that one.

I loved the early M&Ms, the Xeen series.
I enjoyed the 3D M&Ms VI VII VIII. The 3DO engine rendering was acceptable for that time standards.
M&M IX is a rip off, the gameplay is so bad, I found it impossible to play.

I wonder about X legacy, and it's computer requirements.

[linflas]

yeah, ugly they are !

[terkio]

Indeed, the Xeen serie was quite ugly, with a small viewport.....
But the plot, the features were so good, one was forgiving and forgetting about the look.
[rant] Nowdays we have mostly nice 3D rendering, but too many games that have just only that, it looks good but that' s all. [/rant]

I've played MMVI-VIII and enjoyed all of them. I think VI is my favourite - it's the largest of the three and erm...it also has the most erm...exploits that can be, well, exploited. It's not cheating if the game's already like that, right?

VI and VII were my favorites. I went back to play III, I believe, but found it a little undeveloped for my taste (only my opinion).

If I remember right, VIII just went too fast.

IX was a disappointment to me.

Might and Magic: Dark Messiah (I believe that was the name?) did too much wall-crawling (Spiderman, Spiderman, friendly neighborhood Spiderman) for me.

X looks like it will be interesting.

P.S. To my sorrow, I became quickly bored with Grimrock.

Dark Messiah was alright, but it was over all too fast They need to work on creating a game that can be played for hours and hours without hitting the end, not just looking flashy.
