Ohh, SCE, how I love poking fun at you and then laughing all the way through the comments when I see angry PlayStation fanboys wetting their pants and spluttering angrily at their monitors. But of course, as it is with all SCEemployeesmonkeys, Karraker didn’t stop there.

While I was at Atari’s booth at Gen Con, I was able check out the upcomingNeverwinter Nights 2expansion,Storm of Zehir. The first thing that caught my eye, and additionally one of the key new features of the expansion, is the new Overland map. Players will now be able to navigate a fully realized map to fight monsters and find hidden dungeons and items. When I say hidden, think about how some of the caves in the originalLegend of Zeldawere dispersed in the trees....

I’ll readily admit my mouth was agape when I saw it for the first time, caught up in the spooky atmosphere and narration....
