    This review by Intelgamer takes a look at The Ruins of Myth Drannor from a different perspective. An extremely postive review, it scores the game at 88%.

    I know what you are thinking, you are thinking that you have heard a ton of bad press about this game, words such as slow, boring, bugs and pointless. Some of these words are very true statements about the game. Upon release, many people had expectations that this game would be the next Baldur’s Gate, it isn’t. The game is the next Pool of Radiance. The best indicator I have ever heard to describe whether or not you will like this game is, do you like chess? If you find chess to be too slow, or involving way too much thought, steer clear of POR. If you like forming new strategies and don’t mind waiting for your opponent to make his move, or if the anticipation of your next move keeps you excited, then POR is truly going to be a gem of a game for you.

    If you can’t tell yet, I love this game with a passion. No game in recent memory has made me want to play it half as much of Pool of Radiance...
