Dark Messiah of Might and Magic Preview

The guys at BytePress have put together a preview of Ubisoft's Dark Messiah of Might and Magic, based on their time with the game's demo version.
Along with this vicious melee combat there is also ranged combat with weapons like bows and arrows, and, like many games of its genre, magic attacks. These magic abilities range from ice blasts that freeze your opponent or make them slip and fall down, all the way to conjuring huge fire balls that you launch and guide to their intended target. As with the melee, there are also special magic attacks that can be unlocked such as telekinesis, which you can use to hurl objects at your enemies, or even pick up an opponent and hurl him into a wall or off a cliff.
