Maxis is a studio known for creating a host of PC gaming's greatest hits, so I was understandably excited when I got a chance to see their newest project. I was expecting something tactical, something that would make me use my brain in the same way that Spore and SimCity did. What I saw, however, was totally unexpected; an action RPG with influences ranging from Diablo to Pok�mon.
