	Planescape: Torment for PC Review - PC Planescape: Torment Review
		Torment abandons the high-fantasy styling of most RPGs and instead uses the Planescape license's unique interpretation of familiar fantasy archetypes, which lends the game a wholly original appearance that defies expectations for fantasy and science fiction artwork.
		Torment's scenery is more intricately detailed than the scenery in Baldur's Gate because of the close perspective, and much like its characters, the scenery looks good and looks different from what you're used to.
		Torment's dialogue often lets you choose to make promises, bluff, or play dumb; the game lets you perceive small details if your character is intelligent, understand philosophical implications if he's wise, and intimidate or charm if he's strong or charismatic.

	"ETERNAL" TORMENT, by Adolph E Knoch (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		This leaves "eternal" torment to the worshipers of the wild beast (Rev.14:10,11) or to the wild beast, the false prophet and the Slanderer.
		Probably the torment of the locusts, which is for all who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads, is one cause of their unrest.
		Their torment in fire and sulphur, is probably endured in the lake of fire, after their resurrection and judgment at the great white throne.

	Welcome to the GameVortex
		Torment promises to have some oddball character designs, from puritan succubi to the Nameless One himself.
		Torment's success may spur a re-surgence in the setting, but only Wizards of the Coast would really know for sure.
		Torment fits into the Planescape mythos pre-Faction War (which is a good thing, in my opinion -- Faction War changed a tad too much).

	Maze of Torment CD Reviews
		A hidden track is a very quick instrumental but does little to add to the overall effect of "Death Strikes." Unfortunately, a majority of the songs are played at the same aggressive, intense speed; this wears a little thin after repeated listens.
		Maze Of Torment are tight like a serpent's constrictive death coil, but lack dynamics which could make their music much more effective.
		Maze Of Torment is Erik Sahlstrom on vocals, Peter Karlsson on guitars, Kalle Sjodin on bass, and Kielle Enblom on drums.

	RPGnet: The Inside Scoop on Gaming
		The plot depth is quite surprising as well as the twists and turns as taken the Nameless One through his quest to discover who, what and why he is. There is a lot of reading to do and it can be tempting to glaze over the text to get back into the game.
		Either case, there is enough equipment in Torment to keep a player busy shopping and few copper common in their pocket.
		Torment combines an interesting world, immense plot, excellent graphics and great characters into one nice package.

	www.MtgNews.com - More Foils in Torment than Odyssey
		However, the back of the Torment wrappers say that the odds of getting a premium cards are 1:70 cards.
		The fact that there are less cards in Torment doesn't matter - the ratio of foils : non-foils is what WotC decides it to be; 1 : 70 means there are relatively more foils in this set than there were in 1 : 100 sets.
		Torment seems back to normal (although I've only opened 1 box, 7 foils as was the norm pre-Oddy.) That's not enough to base any estimate on though.

	GameOver - Planescape: Torment (c) Interplay
		Planescape: Torment is set (perhaps, unexpectedly) in the Planescape realm of the Advanced Dungeons and Dragons universe.
		One thing that differs Torment from the likes of BG is the status of the player in the world.
		You aren't just another wussy whooping other wussies' asses - you are known and are a "force to be reckoned with." The downside, though, is that everyone else isn't a wussy either, so the end result is the same; but at least the equality is drawn at a higher level.

	Featuring Planescape Torment Review at ActionTrip
		Bringing the camera closer to the ground is justified: there is not much long-range combat Torment (the spells have been adapted to short-range) — all the fighting is done hand to hand.
		Torment is not as difficult as some RPGs, but it is still far from being easy.
		Planescape: Torment proves that it is possible to make an inventive, fun and refreshing game in this “sea of clones”.

	Game Studies - Play Dead: Genre and Affect in Silent Hill and Planescape Torment
		Meeting an NPC in Planescape Torment often involves reading a description of their eyes, their fingers, of what they are wearing, where they come from or how they smell.
		In Planescape Torment a player does not have to arrive at any particular location to save their game, and pausing a game in order to sort out a strategy, mid-confrontation, is par for the course.
		Planescape Torment is more dynamic and less static than Silent Hill because of its greater number of goals and quests, and the fact that only some of them are compulsory, as well as due to the complexity of the teams' inventory, mutating avatars and all the possible dialogue options.

	The Wages of Sin -- Everlasting Torment or Everlasting Punishment (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Nowhere in Scripture is everlasting torment set forth as the wages of sin.
		Had the penalty for sin been "everlasting torment", he, in paying our penalty, would have been compelled to suffer whatever the sinners were condemned to suffer as sin's penalty.
		Hence if there was no other evidence on the subject, this alone would prove that "The wages of sin is death" and not everlasting torment.

	The Armchair Empire - PC Reviews: Planescape Torment
		Batten down the hatches, let the answering machine do its thing, and keep some snack food on standby, because Planescape Torment is one of those RPGs with such a deep, rich story that it demands every ounce of the players attention.
		Utilizing the same engine found in Baldur’s Gate, this game brings some very nice graphics, engaging characters brimming with personality, a straightforward menu system, and a great battle system for players to sink their teeth into.
		Planescape Torment is a top notch RPG through and through.

		So TORMENT entered the studio again to record their first full-length album with the maybe longest titel in music history: “EXPERIENCE A NEW DIMENSION OF FEAR.
		TORMENT contributed on the “New Generation Of Rock”-sampler with the track “NATURE`S REVENGE” in the year 2000 and recorded four “Motörhead”-coverversions for the Motörmorphösis – A Tribute To Motörhead Part 1 + 2 ("Ace of Spades" + "Stone Dead Forver" for Motormorphosis Part1 and "No Voices in the Sky" + "Orgasmatron" for Motormorphosis Part2).

	GameSpy.com - Reviews
		Black Isle Studios capitalizes on the license and successfully brings this unusual setting to life in Planescape: Torment.
		Unfortunately, the volume of dialog can be overwhelming at times as you click through page after page, and a few places, such as the public sensorium, are tedious for those that feel the need to read everything.
		Quests abound in Torment from simple item fetching to complex ones with several conditions and puzzles.

	Planescape: Torment Review for PC on GamePro.com
		Thanks to the Planescape license, Torment is free to explore the various planes of the AD&D 'multiverse,' where belief shapes the world at least as much as a sword or hammer.
		Made even easier than in BG is Torment's pop-up control menu, which pops up wherever you right-click onscreen, allowing Black Isle to say 'bye-bye' to the onscreen menu bars and 'hellooooo, nurse!' to a more detailed, larger game view.
		Torment drags you in with an excellent musical score, and the characters talk with the talent of real professional voice actors during crucial bits of dialog.

	REVIEW: Mara's Torment - "Dreams Like Mine" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		I have no idea why Mara is tormented, and "Dreams Like Mine," a 13 song CD of ambient electronica, offers no clues.
		Mara's Torment has a very minimal sound - each song seems woven from only two or three instruments, tones or rhythms - yet, each song is both unique and enchanting.
		Ric MacLean, the one man mastermind behind Mara's Torment, intelligently and artistically mixes disparate and haunting themes - mysterious alien moans, terrestrial bells, Asian scales, tribal rhythms, bubbling synths - yielding a truly beautiful, lush and comforting soundscape.

	Planescape: Torment On GameVortex.com
		In Torment, you take the place of the Nameless One, who wakes up on a table in the Dustman's Mortuary with no memories.
		Torment is much less combat heavy than most RPGs, and you'll find that you can talk your way out of a fight many, many times, and often get a lot more experience while you're at it.
		Torment is THE RPG of 1999, and will probably reign for a good bit of 2000.

	The Wicked Dead: Will They Experience Annihilation or Eternal Torment?
		The theory of eternal torment is one of the false doctrines that constitute the wine of the abomination of Babylon, of which she makes all nations drink...
		It is indirectly related to the eternal torment of the damned for it reveals that the majority of people ever born will miss entering the Kingdom of Heaven and go to this nightmare like place.
		By using the same term to describe the fiery place of torment reserved for the wicked dead, the Lord was simply stating that as refuse the unsaved will be thrown into fire, as was the garbage outside of Jerusalem.

	IGN: Planescape: Torment Review
		The new title, which would eventually become Torment, was to be based on the Planescape license, which the company had acquired shortly after they grabbed the rights to the Forgotten Realms world.
		The real reason I thought that no one would ever be able to truly recreate the Planescape universe was the sheer number of different models that they would have to create to show off all the different types of beings you would be able to interact with.
		While Torment doesn't have them all, they do have more than enough to make you feel like you're at the crossroads of the universe.

		Torment were considered to be one of the more creative and original bands of the Psychobilly genre.
		Mystery surrounds Torment and the band acheived cult status, aided by the fact that the singer/frontman/songwiter Simon Brand commited suicide in 1994.
		Very few tracks ever made it to CD and this was the first ever 'Best of Torment' in any format.

		I was mildly shocked when Interplay's Black Isle division announced the development of Planescape Torment.
		Torment uses the same raw engine as Baldur's Gate, but the folks at Black Isle have made some improvements, the biggest being perspective.
		In Torment, the camera is much closer to the characters than in Baldur's Gate; therefore, everything is much larger.
