    ToTheGame has posted a pleasant in-depth review of Dungeons & Dragons Online: Stormreach which is nice to read because of clear structure and competent use of language. It doesn't give in to the flowing praise hype, either, even though the attitude is pretty positive and the score still quite good. Here's a snip:

    You start out by choosing race, class and abilities, as well as appearance from a wide spectrum of choices. There are 5 races: the skillfull humans, the wise elves, the cunning halflings, the stour dwarves and the mysterious warforged. When you have chosen your race, you can choose your appearance, and with all the various choices, it’s almost impossible to find someone in the game that looks exactly like you. You can choose, eye color, skin color, facial details, different sets of eyes and mouths, hair style, and even your nose. After your appearance is done, it is time to choose a class.

    There are 9 available classes at the current date. bold Fighter, the valorous Paladin, the strong Barbarian, the stealthy Rogue, the wise Ranger, the healing cleric, the intelligent Wizard, the powerful sorcerer, and the Jack of all trades, Bard. Then you can choose to either keep the stats, which the game recommends, or customize it on your own. For those that have played the pen and paper version, you will probably want to customize your character, but for people who are new to the concept, you get a long way by choosing the stats you have already been given. However, if you choose to keep the stats, there is no way to redo them once the character is made, without making anew character. There are a lot of different stats that can customize your character. Everything from your normal strength, dexterity, constitution, intellect, wisdom and charisma, to how good you are at jumping, lying, sneaking, listening and much more.

    I really like the language of this one. It differs a lot from oh so intellectual reviews written with more pomposity than skill that I have to read more often than I like. Doesn't it strike you as particularly well-written? More reviews like this one, please. :thumb:
