Quick rundown of new games

[azekeil]

• Black and White 2: Buggy as hell. Wait for v1.2 patch. Playability seems less over first version. Disappointment; seems to be focussed on graphics. Graphics require a pixel shader to run. Hmm.
• Age of Empires III: Less depth than AoEII. Seems to be focussed on graphics.
• Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War: Winter Assault: More of the same, which is good if you like that sort of thing. Imperial Guard's top weapon seems a tad overpowered - it's a tank you can clear the level with.
• Dungeon Siege II: This follows on from the first one, giving a lot more depth to the game which improves everything lots. Actually good fun, and fairly speedy to run.

Currently awaiting: Quake 4, F.E.A.R.

Hmm, could be one to look out for. I'd always found the previous ones didn't grab me. It looked like a nice idea, but I couldn't get to grips with the interface and everything else and lost interest. Probably my fault for needing games I can pick up and put down in a hurry.. :/
