If you play only one game this year, play Super Smash Bros. Brawl for the Wii. If you play TWO games this year, make the second one The Ultima 6 Project’s Milestone #5 (a.k.a. “M5”). The U6 team is very much hard at work putting together their next release, which in terms of content will likely dwarf anything you have yet seen. No promises, but the intention is to get the entire overworld more or less completed, with most of it playable and accessible.

There’s a great deal of excitement surrounding this release throughout the team, but there’s still a long way to go – and they’re looking for help from anyone who has some experience with building challenging dungeons in the Dungeon Siege engine (DS1). They’ve also posted a new profile for their portrait artist, Alex Gonzales. There’s some impressive tidbits to see, plus downloadable wallpaper art. So go on over to u6project.com and check it out now!
