It is a great game (it is a demo) i love it, but it is not as good as Redline, it has multiplayer on it, but... not very many people show up, only about 9 players show up every day. But the game is still fun It runs only on OS X it works on both PPC and intel.

Pillars of Garendall

Carl — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 10:59:32 +0000

Gidolan Keep lays under seige. Huge monsters, all tooth, claw, and muscle are assaulting the capitol city, threatening to crush the very heart of the kingdom in their malignant grasp.
