Hellgate: London
Washington Post Review
Since the popular Diablo series, developers have tried to copy that game's hack-and-slash, light role-playing format. Hellgate: London successfully captures Diablo's style of gameplay, adding sci-fi elements and a 3-D shooter interface. Hellgate has been available since October, but it's worth getting. Hellgate is set in 2038, when demons have invaded Earth. Londoners keep the fight alive by hiding underground in the extensive subway system. Characters are diverse: Some are versed in magic. Melee characters can slice through opponents with blades. Soldiers use high-tech weaponry. Hybrid characters, such as the engineer class, can use guns and build robots to protect themselves.
