Game: King’s Bounty

From: http://jaguarusf.blogspot.com/2008/10/kings-bounty-legend-review.html

I follow a lot fewer games nowadays, but this one still looks like a winner :D

Quests are fun, simple, and varied as a sky full of snowflakes. At one point, the proprietor of the Dragon Fang Inn sent me to fetch his business’ namesake. What could have turned into a nasty battle with a blue dragon was resolved with a mean left hook. That’s right, I knocked the dragon’s fang out with my bare hands, and he thanked me for it. (Medieval dentists are hard to come by.) Another time, a creepy royal wanted me to fetch him a frog, so he could kiss it and turn it into his bride. Naturally, the first frog I came across was male, and none too happy that all his women were being snatched up by a perverse prince with a propensity for puckering up with those of the warty persuasion. Before this game’s release, there were a lot of rumors concerning the translation, but I’m happy to report that the dialog is a blast to read. When I asked to join a swamp witch’s coven, she interrogated me with a series of questions. After carefully considering each response, she finally hit me with a stumper: Can you be a woman? Because this is a witch’s coven (yeah, yeah… she got me)!
