I'm not sure what to make of this, but it seems to be a political cheapshot aimed at president Bush and Iraq. Check it out yourself, pay attention to the Teleport and Silver ring cheat codes.

M$ should sh!t can Gas Powered Games. I know they have a liberal leader, but they should try to avoid garbage like this. It's too hot an issue and they've turned off over 50% of the population.

I play lots of games, and I've played the demo for this one. I am NOT amused. Cheat codes usually don't have political garbage like that in them.

As a matter of fact Gas Powered Games DOES need to fire someone over that. It's the kind of thing that wrecks sales, and makes the marketing and legal departments go bonkers. There's no up side to sales, and only potential loss.

I can't even imagine how a project head for a big budget, "A" title game like this ever let this slip by. If my goal was to make maximum money selling a computer game, you won't see me putting in cheat codes that push my political preference. Example: goresux, secondamendment, freedominiraq

Well, one more reason I won't be playing more Dungeon Siege. (Nice job Microsoft, how about you keep a closer eye on your game developers from now on eh?)

You can "take revenge" on the developer by assigning them a bad review score on the same page.

most people ingnore the review by the site and check out the player reviews. There is a "score" scale in the same area to access these review. Click the scale to 1.0 and submit it. You can also write a poor review, but they can tell who's played and who hasn't. They post those that are reasonably well written by people who obviously played.

Seriously, most people who think will by based on these reviews.

I didn't care for the first one anyways. It suprises me that they would do that considering the low profit margin on these games.

I've found Dungeon Siege II to still be rather linear, as was its predecessor. If you want a good Diablo clone, try Sacred. That game was really good, and there is an expansion for it that was just released, but I haven't had the chance to try it yet. Now I just have to figure out how to take at least a month off when Civilization IV comes out.

Even though DS came first, it now just looks like a cheap WoW ripoff.
