Gallery: We recently hosted a super exclusive preview of Dungeon Siege III at Atomic HQ, with a very special guest.

We got to say a very special thanks to some of our most consistent gaming event supporters last week, with an invite to a very exclusive, very special Atomic gaming night. 

Nathan Davis, the game's producer from Obsidian Games, was out for a press tour, but the game's local publisher, Namco Bandai had a brilliant idea - if he's out, with playable and very good looking code, why not show it off to some happy Atomicans? Great idea - we immediately decided to treat this as a special thank you event for past attendees, as it's not every day you get to have a developer on hand for these things.

And what a great night it was. Nathan delivered a presentation on the new game, its characters, and a lot of the new and interesting gameplay mechanics. After a brief and generous Q&A, then it was time for some hands on fun, getting into the game's excellent co-op mode on our shiny new Alienware-powered LAN.

There was beers and pizza, great gaming, better Atomicans, and even the chance to get some gaming hints and tips from an inside expert. So thank you Namco, and Nathan, for an excellent night. I think we're all very much looking forward to the final game, now!

In the meantime, check out our gallery of pics from the night.

I'm actually quite glad that the last photo that got personally approved by David on the night get onto the website.

Thanks David, and that photographer whose name I can't remember :D
