Europa Universalis II

December 17, 2012

If there is a game that is certainly worth talking about, it is Europa Universalis II. Most people were surprised to see this game released so quickly, especially taking into account that the original game was only released a few months before hand. That being said, for those that loved the original, this is going to blow them away. The graphics are higher quality, the story line much better, yet the game is much easier to understand as well, so in all aspects, this is much better than before.

Of course, it is the depth of the game that really helps people to get involved with this game. Many games that are simple to understand will also be simple when it comes to the game play. This means that within a few hours of game play, players can feel like they have done everything there is to do and therefore the game gets boring. With around 700 territories and 60 nations, there is little chance of a new player getting bored quickly!

Sim City 2000

August 21, 2012
I started playing it again. Couldn't help myself. Sim City 2000 is the mother of all city management simulation games. You're in charge of an entire city. You decide, you plan, you build, you demolish. Basically, you're God.

The isometric view of the game was a stroke of a genius. Whoever came up with that should be awarded a Nobel prize. The game just sucks you into it, it's hard to fight one's way back into the real life. It took me a week last time. Now I'm at it again.


You need DOSBOX to ru...
