Demos – how I both love & hate this concept. It’s always nice to get to try the game you are looking forward to, but if it’s good, you are in for a brutal time of waiting since you know what you will be getting and being held backed from. SKALD is one of these games. While I grew up during the popularity of Commodore 64 – I don’t have much of a connection to it beyond playing the random game on its system at a friends house. So, this graphical throwback is not doing much for me from a nostalgic standpoint, regardless I do think the graphics look charming without having the needed nostalgia glasses.

Call of Saregnar is a promising indie RPG coming out of Slovenia. However, there is an international flavor to the team since they are coming from all corners of the world, all the way from America, to New Zealand. For anyone knowing their RPGs, it’s pretty easy to tell where the inspiration for this title is coming from; namely Betrayal at Krondor. Which I, unfortunately haven’t had the pleasure of playing, regardless, I know about it well. On a side note, I really should sit down and play it some of these days, considering its legendary status within the cRPG community.
