Black & White = Checkered
There’s a bit of controversy over Lionhead’s recently released new-genre god game Black & White, with some people giving it a royal spanking in online forums. I’d love to link to one in particular but I can’t find it again - I’ll put it up tomorrow. However the gist of the argument is that the micro-management of game resources and some performance issues take away from what was a great idea. For those of you in Oz, be prepared to face some decidedly strategy-styled gameplay. It’s not as creature-oriented as pre-release press would have you believe. However, there are people who passionately love it, one of whom is Ion Storm’s Chris Bruce who can’t get enough.
