Hahahaha.. look at all the great stuff that happened right after WildWolf left! Anyways, IGN.PS2 has kicked up a killer preview of Summoner. They gave Summoner many very good praisings and hinted on what needs to be done before launch of the game. In their hands on, the game featured three levels for them to play on. Here's a little excerpt I grabbed:

You don't necessarily have to mix things up if you don't want to - Summoner will let reason prevail if force happens to fail. Magic-users can strike from a distance with a wide array of spells, whose effects look excellent even at this early stage, and stealthy characters can take a somewhat indirect approach if they like. Flece, the aforementioned thief, is armed with sneaking ability and a backstab skill, which lets you take out opponents before they even know you're around. Activate the sneak skill while you're hidden in the shadows (turning the character transparent to indicate her status), and you can tiptoe quietly behind an unwary opponent. While he's ignorant of your presence, bring up the skill menu and select "backstab." Thunk - one shot, and it's curtains.

Oh yeah, the preview featured a HUGE amount of screens totalling at 86 and it also had 7 movies of gameplay (with horrible sound [ed. note: IGN's fault most likely].. turn your speakers down before playing them). I will soon be posting _everything_ but first I have to thumbnail all 86 images. =P Maybe by the time you go and read the entire preview, look at all the images, and watch all the videos, I'll have em up. =)
