About Tony "OUberLord" Mitera

I've been entrenched in the world of game reviews for almost a decade, and I've been playing them for even longer. I'm primarily a PC gamer, though I own and play pretty much all modern platforms. When I'm not shooting up the place in the online arena, I can be found working in the IT field, which has just as many computers but far less shooting. Usually.

'Fallen Kingdoms' (Xbox/PC) Announced - Screens

by Tony "OUberLord" Mitera on July 30, 2004 @ 5:46 p.m. PDT

"Fallen Kingdoms" sets you on a journey across the dark and dangerous ruins of Aegion to seek out ancient mysteries. But, the forces of Undrath, the undead await you. If they cannot turn you towards their dark lord's purpose, they will kill you outright. For centuries, peace reigned in Aegion. But ancient prophecies foretold the failing of the king and the rise of Undrath, the Wraith Lord. Undrath gathered to him an army of unspeakable evil and, without a single king to unite them, the Kingdoms fell. But there is unrest among the survivors of the war. Former rogues, powerful wizards, even simple citizens have formed a loosely organized underground.

They are bound together in a common cause...

The Fallen Kingdom must be restored!
