Black and White, has been one of the most hyped games around, it was said that it would be the best game ever, and that nothing would ever better its originality. The game comes from, in my opinion the best games producer in the business; Peter Molyneux. The man responsible for nearly all the original games in the world. Examples such as: Populous (excluding the third outing) The Sims Theme Park All of these were totally original at the time, and were all massive hits. Nowadays, Peter has his own production company (called Lionhead Studios), and this game is their first attempt. Black and White eventually came out on April the ...  Read the complete review

This is going to be my largest opinion so far, so here goes… It's the game that's been hyped up by all the PC magazines, experts and people in the know of incredibly amazing games, AND HERE IT IS! Black & White. I had been reading a review about it on the net before I brought this game which reads “co-incidentally, the latest real-time strategy game of the year is also the most beautiful and stunning in the world” to which honestly I couldn’t agree more. Molyneux has really hit the spot this time producing a work of pure genius, artwork and creativity. Black and White is in a league of it’s own, being that the game revolves ...  Read the complete review

Black and White was an incredibly hyped game back in 2001 developed by famed game creator Peter Molyneux (who most recently released Spore). Melding elements of simulator games, real time strategy, and even a little from the beat em up genre, it's a very curious enigma of a game, where the player essentially plays God to a vast island. You control an animated hand, and with it, can pick up (and even kill) villagers, grant their wishes, help the town prosper, and perform celestial miracles. The ultimate goal is to have every village on the island eating out of your hand, but my favourite component of the game is the creature aspect, where you can obtain a pet ...  Read the complete review
