Kudos to Obsidian: in developing its own Onyx engine technology, the studio has managed to create a new action RPG that has its own highly distinctive visual look, rich on incidental detail, atmospheric effects and heavy on dynamic light and shadow. In what is essentially an HD reworking of classics like Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance on PlayStation 2 (albeit without the super-smooth frame-rate), Dungeon Siege III offers plenty of RPG-fuelled enjoyment, but essential elements of the game mechanics are lightweight in nature, and the kind of depth we've come to expect from magic and combat dynamics in this genre feels somewhat lacking.

But hey, that's where the Xbox Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale comes in, delivering a host of Xbox One and Xbox 360 games at bargain basement prices. Want to know exactly what is on offer between the 19th-25th March 2019? There's a good few to choose from!"
Square Enix have teamed up with Amazon to offer a bonus game for Xbox owners that is guarenteed to be backwards compatible.
Neil writes "Dungeon Siege III has been stripped of its price tag thanks to the Xbox Games With Gold scheme. Fancy playing it on your Xbox 360 and/or your Xbox One?"
If this wasn't playable on X1 too I'd never get round to playing it. No idea how good it is but worth a go!
its a good dungeon crawler game, i finished it on 360, thinking of picking up the expansion and playing on xb1.
My only beef with 360 GWG on XB1 is that it should be downloadable straight from the dashboard like the XB1 games are. The extra steps are easy enough but unnecessary. Since I still use my 360 it's no big deal for me personally, just my two cents on the subject.
Strange, on the last comparison they said this when the 360 had better performance;
"while both versions do come recommended, the final nod goes to the 360. MLAA may well give an image quality boost to the PS3 version, but owing to the nature of the art itself, the lack of edge-smoothing on the 360 game isn't that much of an issue. Similarly, while welcome, the Xbox's plus points - texture and effects improvements - aren't significant enough to weigh into any purchasing decision. However, performance is the key difference here, and that's where the Xbox 360 provides an advantage that translates into a tangibly more consistent gameplay experience."
This time the PS3 has the better performance they say this;
"Overall, Dungeon Siege III isn't an essential purchase, but on console at least it's sufficiently different from the norm to make it worth looking at. In terms of which version is the better purchase, there's really not very much in it: graphics are identical to all but the most intense comparisons, while the PS3's unlocked frame-rate only seems to help marginally in sustaining performance when the engine is really under pressure."
I find it rather strange.
Both look good to me. Should be able to be enjoyed by many gamers.
still no infamous tech analysis
its weird how we can get a performance analysis for modern warfare 3
a tech analysis for gears of war 3 both of which arent even out
tons of faceoffs from multiplatform games
but nothing for infamous 2 it just seems odd
Probably because they are in love with the 360.
PS3 won that hands down to be fair.
"Kudos" Who the f@$k say Kudos? LAME.
