"I know, I'll do a review of Jade Empire next! That will be quick"

Today we're looking at Jade Empire - the bridge between Bioware's days as a hardcore CRPG developer and their more modern cinematic output. It's an incredibly unique game - critically acclaimed but also highly flawed - an iconic Xbox original game yet a complete commercial flop.

Strap yourself in because we're going deep and we won't be coming up for air.
