Why do some developers persist in believing that a console makes me less of a gamer? Is it the lack of a keyboard? I have buttons, and ten fingers of manipulation. Is it the lack of a mouse? They're called analog sticks, and I dual-wield. Put a controller in my hands and I can hold my ground against the most hardened of the QWERTY crowd.

click to enlargeDark Messiah of Might and Magic: Elements is a port of the similarly titled PC game from 2006. It tells the same story of a young protégé, Sareth, fighting through a realm of swords and sorcery to keep the Skull of Shadows from evil hands. Vicious orcs, treacherous goblins, and heretical necromancers still terrorize the kingdom of Ashan in their quests for power. Even the first-person melee battles remain intact. Elements is the same game with a few concessions for us... simple folk.
