Actually, a lot of sites welcome reader/user/player previews and reviews. They have more weight to many consumers than professional critical input since they are seen as representing more the "man on the street" opinion.

Also, this is not the first time something has had to be said about personal attacks from certain sources. For the second time, then, tone it down and keep it civil.

Yes, this is weird. Shrapnel is not advertising Dominions 2?
Usually all games have huge number of previews. I tought that Dominions 2. will be advertised a lot.
Avault, Gamespy, Gamespot, Gamers Hell etc..there are many to choose from.
Oh and these sites are never using player written reviews.

Here is a link to the Gamespot preview. As I said before, only a copy of the Shrapnels' text. More can be found by searching for "ascension wars", wihtout quotation marks.

Edit: I managed to make that a link instead of a simple address...

So, he is like 14 or so years old, and plays a very complex game in a foreign language & mantains a webpage (something which I cannot do at my age, much the less 20 years ago)...the boy must certainly be brighter than me.

I have found Nerfix's comment dumb as well. If he is 14, than we cannot say anything bad, since he is very immature. Playing games, or making a webiste like that is very easy, even my 12 years old little sister made a better website..in flash!

I call it preview, but I do not read much previews. Atleast it is something. Was there a preview like this for Dominions: PPP, in Gamespot? I would say this is an improvement, if nothing else.
