    Yea definitely a fun read, do you know if the site has done this style of 'review' in the past? I'm sort of new to Rock, Paper, Shotgun in general.

    so it's like a written Endurance Run?  Sounds like a lot of reading... a lot of reading.

     It's a lot less lengthy than the endurance run. It's more a brief series of articles chronicling RPS' adventures in Risen which they were tempted into trying having previously passed on the Gothic series. 
     
    @DJJoeJoe:  yeah, they've done similar things in the past, though they don't do series very often. But definitely if you dig through their archives they have some smart musings on all things PC gaming. They did a few interviews with Valve that were really interesting, which is the first of their stuff I read.... they're good at pointing out hidden gems too, especially indie games and games that were unjustly snubbed by the masses.
