Default Reviews with wrong developer!

There is an article at 1UP that states that Dominions II was developed by Illusion softworks... Also, there is a link to CGW page that also states Illusion as the developer. Anyone else seen something like this?

I haven't sent message to either site, I don't trust my English enough to do that... and I wasn't able to find their e-mail, although I didn't search that much.

I hardly think this is Illusion's fault that a gaming site has incorrectly attributed the game to them. Illusion is surely not at fault for this error. So why would Illusion be lucky or unlucky?

I'm sure this was nothing more than an unintentional error in reporting. Both sites are owned by the same company and, most likely, one typo led directly to the second. My guess is Illusion Softworks has no idea they were given the unexpected plug I've sent the editors an email thanking them for posting the review and pointing out the discrepency. Thanks for pointing it out. We're glad you knew better.

I was misled because clicking on the dominions link took me to a page that I thought was Illusions. I see now that its the same site as Annette said.

I can see why you thought that, Gandalph. Aw, it's been a tense week, we're all human. I wish you all a wonderfully relaxing weekend full of gaming.
