Dungeons of Dredmor is an RPG, but it's probably not the sort of game you imagine when you read those three genre-defining letters. Dungeons of Dredmor is what enthusiasts call a roguelike, a very challenging sort of dungeon-crawling RPG that descends from the classic PC game Rogue. The basic idea of this type of RPG is that you, a solo hero, must survive a gauntlet of randomly-generated dungeon levels with nothing but your wits, whatever equipment you can scrounge up, and whatever skills the game permits you to acquire.

There's the whiff of a misspent premise around Camelot: The Game. The game is a tie-in to the Camelot series that Starz aired earlier this year and, rather curiously, formally canceled just a few weeks ago. The game's visuals are based directly on the look of the show, complete with photographs of the actors appearing both as decoration and in the tutorial (where the show's Merlin sends you through the steps of founding a village). Typically brand tie-in games on Facebook are very formulaic ones that leave lots of room for the license to shine, but Camelot: The Game has loftier goals.
I'd really rather not be writing this review right now. I've just started a major remodel on my house, building more floors, a rooftop porch and bridges connecting open rooms that would make Frank Lloyd Wright proud. When day breaks there's that secret entrance tunnel that needs expanding and I'm still gathering the materials for my new armor. So I'm sorry if this feels a bit rushed but I have much more important things to be doing. If you'd like to give me a hand, that would be great so grab a copy of Terraria and let's get going!
