Welcome back to The Franchise! 

On today's menu we have the Champions of Norrath series February 10, 2004 in the USA on PS2 by Snowblind Studios and Sony Online Entertainment.  This game featured five different playable characters each with their own unique abilities.  This game was pretty much as close to Diablo 2 as you will find on a console.  Champions is a hack-and-slash RPG that will have you fighting tons of enemies and collecting items and equip...
