"Harkening for Turkish delight

The editorial office is buzzing right now. It could be that it’s Friday, it could be that it’s sunny, but most of all, it’s that sitting on our desks right now are copies of FEAR, Civ 4, Black and White 2, and Myst 5. It’s truly a great time for anyone with even a passing interest in having fun with a computing device. And gamers, well, you already know what you’re in for.
But, that’s not what I want to talk about. Hidden among the highest ticket games of all time coming out right now, there’s a game that has consumed more time for me than most in recent memory: Mount&Blade.
Developed by a Turkish husband and wife team, M&B is a crossover between Pirates! and a traditional RPG. It attempts to be historically accurate (no potions or spells), which, combined with its freeform gameplay, harkens back to one of my all-time favourite games, Darklands."
