Dom II gets "Editor's Choice" award in gaming mag

[Arryn]

Yes, Computer Games (aka CG), and Computer Gaming World (aka CGW) are similar magazines, both excellent, and often confused for each other. The CGW review (4.5 stars, by Bruce Geryk) is on page 67 of their Feb 04 issue (and a game between Bruce and Tom Chick is on pages 120-122 of the same issue), the CG review (4.5 stars, by Tom Chick) is on pages 82-83 of their Feb 04 issue. The CGW articles are what prompted me to download the demo, fall in love with the game almost instantly, order it a week ago, receive it 3 days ago and lose much sleep ever since.

It doesn't help confusion-avoidance that Tom Chick, who's reviews I think are great, writes for both. He also lurks in these forums.


Cheers!

CGW is was brought me here

Now I have to get back to playing and see if I can figure it out.

I ran to 4 different software stores in my area after I recieved my CGW in the mail. The AAR actually made me really want this game. I really really wish they would let the readers know if we have to order it Online to get a particular game. It would have saved me a lot of gas money.

Good point. I think that right now I will call the local computer stores and let them know that in case they are getting pestered. All of us should.

I think he was wishing that the Game Reviews let people know they can only buy the game Online.

Yeah I knew that. But it was also a good thought that if other people are running around the stores and the poor sales people are saying "never heard of Dominions" that they might appreciate abit of info.

Id like to buy more copies to help Illwinter out but I cant right now. This is another way I can toss some $$$ in the pot toward a Dominions 3.
