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. ...  Read the complete review

Computer games allow you to have power over everything. The power to do anything and everything. Black & White is a game where you play God. You must build up your civilization to worship or fear you. I must say I find it much more fun being an evil God than a worthy God. You create buildings and must manage your civilization. From ...  Read the complete review

In theory this game is very good. The ideas are new. The graphics were cutting edge. The game incorperated every element of being God. Every choice was yours.

Other gods are competitive and ...  Read the complete review

I believe the game was planned for the PlayStation and Dreamcast, but those versions were cancelled. Now, to the game: CONTROLS In a world where you play as god, did the creators of the game really believe they could do with a control system where you would have to drag yourself across the terrain? Not that I needed to, but as I ...  Read the complete review

When playing this game, i kept thinking "Yes, this game has to be awesome..i mean, you can play god!" I was sorely mistaken. The game is boring, and badly designed. The fact you can't move out of the specific circle around your village makes destroying or converting other villages difficult, and you must figure out puzzles, that if ...  Read the complete review

I borrowed this game from a friend when it was released and got into it almost straight away however the feeling of excitement quickly dwindled and I was left with boredom. Your role is that of God. The villagers are yours to do with as you wish. You are required to complete certain tasks in order to advance and after a certain amount ...  Read the complete review
