In Hollywood, there's a trend that takes established brands – Batman, say, or Star Trek, or Nightmare on Elm Street – and remakes the franchise with a reboot movie, starting from the ground up. While it's of questionable worth in the land of the fabled Silver Screen, re-releasing or rebooting a beloved game franchise can inject a fresh dose of fun into a limited game experience that's grown stale from familiarity. As games are an interactive medium, fresh challenges and innovative ideas within our established worlds are what keep the blood of the hobby pumping. With Descent: Journeys in the Dark, fans of the original Descent are treated well, as this reboot expands on the original with fresh heroes and monsters. There's a pleasing campaign ruleset to add longevity to the proceedings, and the components and mechanics are as polished and well-produced as one should expect from a benchmark release. Descent: Journeys in the Dark will please the hardcore player and casual gamer alike. Grab a copy tonight!
