BioShock is a unique game that mixes a spine-chilling setting illustrated with art deco art and architecture, sci-fi themes of bio-genetic mutation and self-modification, a deep storyline with open-choice freedom to interact with the world as you choose, and first-person action that requires you to think every time you pull the trigger. After your plane crashes into icy uncharted waters, you discover a rusted bathysphere and descend into Rapture, a city hidden beneath the sea. Constructed as an idealistic society for a hand picked group of scientists, artists and industrialists, the idealism is no more. Now the city is littered with corpses, wildly powerful guardians roam the corridors as little girls loot the dead, and genetically mutated citizens ambush you at every turn Less

Age of Mythology transports players to a time when heroes did battle with monsters of legend and the gods intervened in the affairs of mortal men. In Age of Mythology, players wage war using human armies and diplomacy, progress through development ages, enhance military and economic performance with improvements, and manage economics through resource gathering and trade. Mythology enters the mix when players call upon the gods to act on their behalf or reinforce their armies with more than 20 mythological creatures. Less

Pros Great Premise, graphics, and powers.
Cons Terrible ending, no multiplay
Recommended it? Yes

In Bioshock, the latest 3D action game from 2K games, something is rotten in the city of Rapture. Shortly after surviving a plane crash, the player finds himself descending via a bathysphere from a lighthouse to the submerged city of Rapture.

No sooner does the player arrive at Rapture,... Read full review »

Pros Original story, great graphics, atmospheric.
Cons Game is short. A bit predictable storyline.
Recommended it? Yes

I have been addicted to this game since my wife convinced me to buy it. The idea was that we would play through it together as we did with Gabriel Knight, Fatal Frame, and the classic horror game Phantasmagoria. Of course, I did not end up waiting on her.

It's a creepy game, full of... Read full review »

Age of Mythology ~ Not as good as Age of Empires

Pros Anything to do with mythology is always cool.
Cons Feels a little outdated
Recommended it? Yes

I am completely enthralled with Age of Empires 2: Age of Kings and it's expansion, Age of Conquerors. I think that soured Age of Mythology for me just a bit. Oh don't get me wrong, this is a great game.... it just isn't quite as engaging as it's cousin, close, but not quite.

Ensemble Studios Brings Us To Another Age

bygorocco Dec 13, 2002
30 Helpfuls 31 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Easy to use interface, Varying twists to the real time strategy formula
Cons Mediocre AI, average single player experience, too much base building
Recommended it? Yes

With all of the RTS games out there, the phrase "beating a dead horse" more than applies to this genre. We've seen everything from humans and orcs to Star Wars licenced games. Now, Ensemble Studios, the happy folk who brought us Age of Empires (AOE) I and II, come back with yet another RTS. Age of... Read full review »
