GB Feature: Champions of Norrath Review

Today, we've put together a review of Sony and Snowblind's Champions of Norrath, giving the action RPG a favorable score overall. Here's a little something to get you started:
Similar to DA2, CoN allows you to upgrade weapons with certain jewels and items found out in the field. In DA2, though, you had to take your item back to a weapon smith and pay to have it attached to your weapon, often without knowing exactly what would happen. CoN lets you add the item right on the spot, out in the field and lets you know exactly what will happen when you put it in a weapon or a piece of armor. The major drawback is that you can't remove an upgrade item once it's in a weapon, so you may find yourself hoarding jewels until your ready for the last fight. Still, I found myself using this option much more in CoN than in DA2 because it didn't distract from the tasks at hand.
