Dominions review up at Gamespot

[Targa]

What annoys me the most about sites like that is that they are playing the "God-game". Many people who don't think things through will go there and look at the "reviewer's picks" or "top 10" (as rated by them) when they are shopping for a new game. If you wish to submit a different opinion in a "reader review", you have to sign up and pay a monthly fee. Bah. This is similar to people who watch television news and automatically believe that the way the story is told is the "factual truth" or only side of the story. "It must be true, I saw it on the news!"

Want a real laugh? They know this, which is why when you click here:

Fair review. Graphics and Sound aren't all the great, and if 2/5th of the review is based on these two window dressings than Dom2 will get a bad grade. Especially when another 1/5 of the score is based on some one's over all opinion of a game that is difficult to learn. So be it. IMO, the author really gave props to Shrapnel by saying that it [the game] has lots of potential, but is just not there yet. I think we can all agree on that, but the game is still incredibly addictive to hardcore strategy games, and we see that potential in this game more so than other so called strategy games.

If I were to rate the game, based on their rating system it wouldn't be good. Yet, this is still a game I would recommend to ppl, like me, who love TBS games... Thanks Quantum Mechanic

I responded in turn with my own review. You know, it was really a bit low, but still, it wasn't all bad. Hey, I'd never have bought the game if it were not for Gamespot's review. The review essentially tells you the game is too hardcore. What a bummer.

It's a real ego booster to know that the learning curve of the game you play is too high for those who are having a hard time with Barbies Dream Castle...
