WorthPlaying have posted their Most Wanted list for 2005, and Dreamfall is number two, right behind Jade Empire - which makes sense, because Jade Empire is my most wanted game for this year. We're definitely honoured and humbled to be included in such great company, ahead of great games like Splinter Cell 3, the new Zelda title, and Final Fantasy XII.

So far this year, we've been named 'most wanted' by GameSpy, Eurogamer, CGM, PC Zone - and that's just off the top of my head. Expectations are running high, but we aim to deliver on all counts. ¶ 11:08

Wow! Congratulations to you and the Dreamfall team... that's quite a achievement already.

Congratulations! I don't have an Xbox so will probably miss out on Jade Empire, but it does look good. Even if I did have an Xbox I'd be looking forward to Dreamfall more though!

Maybe you should occasionally go on adventure forums where there are people that won't fawn over you.

All I know is that this is where we would be on Deus Ex 2 sites 6 months before that came out - and look what that game turned out to be IN REALITY! (review wise, sales wise, customer happiness wise, etc.)

Surrounding yourself by "yes" people will just make you lazy and give REAL gamers another reason not to trust what your producing, compared to TLJ.

lol REAL gamers... won't find many on adventure forums. I think those are exactly the places Ragner shouldn't go.

I'm wondering why the sites are so positive about Dreamfall, do they know something we do not? They must be holding out on us. I know some like gamespy gave TLJ great reviews but it is still surprising how much coverage and good press they give to Dreamfall considering how much attention (how little more like) they gave TLJ and how little we actually know.

I know it may seem like people are brown nosing on here, hell for all I know they are, but I think Ragner deserves most of the credit for one of the best games ever made. It's not like the 5 year old technology, the many bugs, some of the voice acting, and PR helped TLJ.

Deus Ex 2 completely lost what made the original game special. I think many game developers can learn from Valve that making a sequel doesn't mean making a new game, it means enhancing an old game. Somewhere along the line people can lose what made a game special, or don't full understand what did.
