Black & White 2 (PC)
Sequel to Peter Molyneux's "god game." The world of Eden is now at war, immediately posing a question to the player. Will he go to war and conquer or try to uphold peace? Like its predecessor, Black & White 2 focuses on moral choices and uses an AI system that can support an almost infinite number of experiences and player persona. The breathtaking 3D world is more highly developed with new weapons, technology and smarter creatures who can learn strategies and master new abilities and skills. Black & White 2 also touts improved graphics and miracle effects, weather systems, the ability to to tap resources and disciples, and advanced city building and wall construction. Add to that the option to command huge armies and Black & White 2 promises to be an epic experience in every sense of the word.
