    GamesDomain has posted a great two part preview of Pool of Radiance: The Ruins of Myth Drannor. The preview is full of information from a short history of the game to a discussion of the stats and available feats. There are also several screenshots scattered throughout both pages. Will the game be worth the wait? I guess that remains to be seen.

    While the attention paid to the graphics and interface is apparent, and some tough decisions in implementation have been made, how the final game will turn out and which type of RPG fanbase it will appease is still up in the air. Certainly, compromises were necessary given both the complications involved in translating AD&D to a computer game, and also the pressures of the current gaming market, which did not leave the SSI/Stormfront teams unscathed. Changes in high level team members and a delay in release date suggest some scrambling was necessary.

    Regardless, the development teams have been listening to fans since the process began and overall the game is looking solid. Whether it will live up to its heritage is a question that can only be answered when we get our hands on a final copy, of course. In the meantime, the debates will rage on and we'll be following its progress.
