May 24, 2004 - Brian Fargo is what we like to refer to as a "creative genius." Responsible for several innovative games, including Wasteland and Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance, Fargo decided to create his own development studio a few years ago. Now inXile entertainment is preparing to release its first title, The Bard's Tale. If that name sounds familiar, it's because Fargo created the original Bard's Tale 20 years ago for the PC. But this isn't the same old dungeon crawl. Instead, inXile decided to make a parody to RPGs using the same engine that powers Champions of Norrath for the PS2.

With fierce, biting humor and a great combat system, The Bard's Tale could be the sleeper hit of the year. Coming to PS2 and Xbox this fall and PC in early 2005, The Bard's Tale is already a favorite among the IGN editors. Why? Watch our video preview featuring exclusive direct-feed footage and you'll understand some of the humor and clever gameplay that's been thrown into this promising title. "



Doesn't sound like it's going to be the same kind of fun the original was, but it's still getting rave reviews.. can't wait to play it.. I wasted so many hours of my young life on the original..
