Games worth a free demo if you are lucky, but not
at any price
the purchase!
- Full Spectrum Warrior: Ten Hammers;
great graphics, cumbersome control model and AI as you wangle your mouse
around trying to control yourself with bots who dont do the logical
thing; stick with Ghost Recon
- Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Lockdown;
great graphics; silly AI and no real innovation or engagingly new
gameplay
- Red Orchestra, tripwire;
well its OK to buy if you have not yet experienced Battlefield 2; if you
have, Red Orchestra is not even a poor mans
- Blazing Angels; Ubisoft; poorly scripted
though luscious graphics; arcade-like, which is what you might want
- Bet on Soldier - Blood Sport, Klytotonn;
nice idea (tense, nervous 1-1 hunting of computer based AI adversaries
over large game world) poorly executed; early part of the game overly
scripted in narrow pathways with nothing but button pushing frenzy and
no need to think
- Blitzkrieg 2 (or 1) - overly scripted
though pretty fun looking graphics; shame
- Monsterville, Dreamcatcher Games
-
Galactic Civilizations,
Stardock (arcade like with no real strategy compared to Orion III
- Celtic Kings: Rage of War, Strategy
First
- Port Royale (just a skin on Patrician
II)
- Gladiators: Galactic Circus Games
(pure crap; little strategy despite description)
- Casino Empire (economic sim); too few
real options
- Nomads
- Highland Warrior
- Cultures 2 - just like Cultures 1 with
5 per cent additions
- Legion
- Hooligans
- WarCommander, Independence Arts
- Golf Tycoon I and II
- Pizza Tycoon I and II
- Conquest: Frontier Wars, Ubi Soft,
RTS in space
- Shattered
Galaxy, nexon, RTS massively multiplayer C&C-type
- Planet of the Apes - total toilet!
- Age of Sail II - TalonSoft (great
graphics, crap control options, too picky - not worth the hours needed
to learn)
- Star Trek Armada (could have been a
C&C - but not)
- Metal Fatigue (interesting idea, lost
in the game)
- Cutthroats (Black Beard this is not)
- Total Annihilation: Kingdoms (C&C in britches)
- Wheel of Time (Quake-ish)
