I'm waiting for my review copy of Pripyat to come in the mail. In the meantime, I got to review horse racing games! Yes!

Well, the reviews won't appear until it's released, and by then you won't be able to pre-order!

Now that MP has been added to the $5 AvP Classic, is there any real reason to get/play this?

This is not a sim; it's a very arcade racing title.

Man, I saw all of these comments and thought there was a passionate discussion about my review of World Empires Live. One can only dream...

It's all about the torpedoes and moving fast enough where you don't get shot. But it's a dumb game anyway.

No problem. It's pretty much what you would expect for $10: repetitive but enjoyable in short spurts. Too many minor, annoying issues to give it a higher score, though.

The excessive crappiness of Rogue Warrior (also by Rebellion) has me a bit concerned.

6. Cities XL Dec 12, 2009, 10:57 JaguarUSF
 
Cities XL's main problem is the online components are NOT worth $10/month. The single player game is just OK; I actually found City Life (an older game by the same developer) to be more interesting overall. Cities XL is too simplified, more so than SC4.

The expansion is looking excellent: a lot of important, game-changing stuff, all for the better.

1. Re: Ships Ahoy - Zombie Driver Dec 4, 2009, 20:17 JaguarUSF
 
My early impressions? It does deliver on the promise of lots of running over zombies. Has car upgrades, but it's repetitive, single-player only, lacks a mini-map for the confusing city layout, and has a really annoying camera that zooms in and out inconsistently.
Full review later.

Well, thanks! I try to play some of the more obscure games that the "big" sites ignore. If they just had better AI and the card sorting thing, SI would have gotten an 8: it's that good of a game design.

It's usually at lot easier to get games from small developers than the large ones

A couple of notable games I am reviewing now: Armada 2526, Zombie Driver, Empires of Steel. And I am, of course, looking forward to the new EU3 expansion which I might get my hands on next week, if I have done the sacrifice correctly.

This seems to be a lot more like IN than NA in terms of notable features. And if you don't know what I am talking about, then you are not in the target demographic anyway

It's a "standalone expansion" that "requires the original game." Huh?
