Sid Meier's Civilization 2 for Windows

Pros: 3-D terrain and units, basic game is still kinda fun
Cons: Fantasy and SF games are subpar and too hard to grasp; Save function doesn't work

Even though I haven't been spending as much of my computer time playing with entertainment-oriented software as I used to, I occasionally do set aside a few hours to lose myself in a fun yet challenging computer game. Lately I've been focusing on ...

Pros: Fun, intuitive, and addictive simulation of world history.
Cons: Multimedia features aren't fully compatible with Windows XP.

http://www.epinions.c om/pr-Sid_Meier_S_Civilization _II Sid Meier's Civilization II may, perhaps, go down in history as the late and much lamented MicroProse's most popular and best computer game. ...

Pros: Great art direction, inspired game design, genuinely scary at times
Cons: Lots of story but little sense, low replay value, ending = what the f*@!

The festering anus of all man’s artistic endeavours that is the horror genre and the actual denotation of the word “horror” have become somewhat like antonyms; so imagine my surprise and delight when along comes a first-person shooter of all things to...

Pros: graphics, improved discovery dependencies, more advancements, units, and Wonders of the World
Cons: harder to win by conquering the planet, throne room sequences are slow

I am a cheapskate at heart and spending $50 or $60 on a game, no matter how much I will love it, makes me shake down to my very core. To combat this, I came up with a reward system. Whenever something nasty happens, I get to buy a new game regardless of...

Pros: Addictive; new and different strategies can be used every time, thus great replay value
Cons: Starts to feel like work after a time

If there's a more effective time-waster in the world than this game, I'd like to know about it. This game is very similar to Civilization, but with a lot more updates and twists to the old standard. While Civilization II might be a bit...

Pros: Great improvement in graphics, long lasting game play
Cons: Game is too short unless you go for expert levels which are impossible.

I was first introduced to Civilization II by a friend of mine. Soon after, I was hopelessly hooked.

The objective of the game is to either:conquer all other civilizations on the world with you (which is a number you control), or be the first...

Pros: Awesome graphics, fast, speedy action, innovative spells, awesome story line, great sound effects.
Cons: Linear, no reason to play it again, plot holes, and you look like Christ himself.

Unless its online oriented, or requires a lot of strategy with a unique twist, I despise first person shooters (FPS). The game play gets boring quickly, and most of the time I leave the game before completing 75% of it. Online orientation is a clear ...

Pros: Storyline Spooky atmosphere Superb graphics, sound an musical score
Cons: Somewhat short Not enough replayability

Survival horror games for the PC are few and far between, and those of them made with high production values (read: a kick-a_$s graphics engine and freakin’ positional audio) are even scarcer. Of the remaining group, those being a bit hyped by the media...

Pros: great "feel", interesting development of story, good use of sound
Cons: bad ending, keyboard set up, graphics aren't great

Every time that I see the name Clive Barker, I put down whatever I'm eating. Not that Clive Barker is as good as Ephedra, but every time I watch one of his explicit movies, I no longer find food appealing. So, when I saw a game by Clive in the Undying, ...

Pros: A captivating game, improved graphics, extra modes
Cons: Requires a lot of patience, irritating music, not enough new in this version

I've been a fan of Civilization 2 for a long time. My roommates turned me on to it during my sophomore year of college and I've been hooked ever since. I lost a good part of my winter break that year attempting to take over the world. So, when I saw...

Pros: Brilliant limitless strategy, plays differently every time
Cons: None really

The Civilization series has long been one of my favourite computer pastimes. I hesitate to ascribe the description ‘game’ as there is far more depth and scope, exercising brain and reasoning than most such offerings.

ORIGINS

The...

Pros: Truly scary, good story, excellent voice acting.
Cons: High system requirements, lackluster ending

Ever since id Software released Quakeworld, multiplayer first-person shooters (FPS), and multiplayer games in general, have been all the rage. If a developer didn't include an internet deathmatch mode, no one would pay their game any notice.
...

Pros: Positively terrifying with rich sound, great graphics, and a compelling Storyline
Cons: Horrible loading times and fairly poor replay value

What can I say, I'm a fan of Clive Barker. I've read most of his books, seen most of his movies, and ogled not a little of his artwork. No surprise, then, that I was rather ecstatic when I heard he was going to be the mind behind a first person...

Pros: Excellent use of sound. Novel weapons. VERY scary. Brilliant story & characterisation. Clive Barker!!!
Cons: Linear. Too many loading screens. VERY scary!

"Undying will play on your mind and reduce you to a quivering wreck!!!" I was told when purchasing the game. "Yeah whatever" I thought whilst holding the game in my hands, totally unconvinced. Two hours after playing I was consuming every barbiturate...

Pros: A Classic! Gameplay rocks!!
Cons: It's almost impossible to win on the highest difficulty level!

This is a review on Civilization 2 Multiplayer Gold Edition!


Civilization II is the kind of game that makes you stay up until morning comes!! This game is very deep and has a lot of "replay value". Everything is...
