Preview: Jade Empire

[Tommy Tallarico]

At this year's E3, as Nick, Eric, and I braved the sweating, nerdy masses, Bioware pulled us aside and taught us what true love really is, and it's name is Jade Empire. Not only were we shown the game by the most beautiful woman at the show, but we got to know what real time martial arts combat can bring to the role playing genre. On the last day, we sat down with BioWare for even more hands on and some behind the scenes stuff, which I'd like to share with you. Curious? I thought so.

When that BioWare lady said "Invent'ry" . . . that's the closest I've come to questioning my wedding vows.

Oh, and the game was all right, too.

Any pix?

Video would have been better, but no.

Yeah after visiting Bioware's booth a couple of times I can safely say I'm excited for this title

Something I picked up while I was there, a poster of Jade Empire signed by the Art Director and Main Artist for Jade Empire... the art director thought my nickname Werewolf was kinda neat (I had it on my 1-UP badge) and even wrote a little funny caption on the poster without me asking
