Axis & Allies has proven to me that memories are best left untouched. Where I once remembered my hours with this game as great ones, partially made so memorable by the quality of the game itself, that has now been oh-so-slightly tarnished by this reminder of reality. As yet another excuse for university students to get together and get drunk, A&A is almost incomparable. As an actual game, A&A is just about unbearable.
Now, if Hasbro manages to jam my old buddies into a jewel case for the sequel, we'll talk. Until then, however, A&A on the PC will remain a failure. It's interesting to finally see the game translated to the computer, but it's yet another failed experiment from a company that should leave board game classics alone.
