Here were his thoughts on DDO last year:

I can honestly say that DDO was easily the most interesting and fun MMOG I saw at E3 this year. Players were allowed to play through their choice of two short adventures, either solo or teamed up with others. The graphics were excellent, a generation beyond those displayed in Asheron’s Call 2. The combat system is quick and action-packed; players click their mouse to attack or block as needed, and execute special attacks via the keyboard as usual. The game promises a heavy use of instancing and will be as faithful to the 3.5 Edition D&D rules as is practical for an online game, with some changes being made for the purposes of playability. While the game’s features are not to everyone’s tastes, I expect this game to be a big hit for the casual MMORPG player, as well as appealing to the many D&D players (both computer and pen & paper) who have yet to find a MMOG to their liking.

I think I'll take the projections with a grain of salt, though TR does look a lot better than it did last year.
