A sleeper first-person RPG for the PC gets a second and well-deserved chance at mainstream success on the Xbox. Read Review
First-person roleplaying game, originally released for PC. Arx is the name of an underground urban environment where the player's adventure begins: in the realm of medieval fantasy. Be prepared to enter a world where the sun has slowly retreated and completely vanished. A world taken over by an unfriendly and threatening atmosphere, imposing the exodus of Arx inhabitants to the obscure meanders of a dwarf mine in order to survive. Arx Fatalis offers a number of interactions with objects and NPCs, realistic action fights, a unique real-time spell casting system, character creation, dialogues, puzzles and countless environments to explore.

(While the graph-paper level design and stutter-step movement of Dungeon Master haven't aged well, the groundbreaking three-dimensional architecture and gameplay of Underworld has kept it on every self-respecting video-game critic's list of all-time greats.) Almost a year after its PC debut, Arx is making the journey to the Xbox, preserving its fantastic look while adding a thin layer of game-console feel. Read More »
