Last week i was lucky enough to try Ubisoft's upcoming source-powered actioner Dark Messiah of Might and Magic hands-on in multi-player mode. After playing for a few hours, and indeed winning a mini-competition that was being run I had a fair aidea of how the game played. Check out what I thought of it here.

Animation on weapons is top notch, swing your sword enough times with different stances and combinations and you'll realise just how fluid it all looks, with one attack gracefully moving into another. It's really quite exhilarating charging into the enemy ranks and cutting down two before they know what's hit them, only to find yourself suddenly locked in a duel with another skilled warrior. Stop to look around you and you'll see arrows and spells whistling past as each team struggles to gain possession of a flag.
