Black and White: I was recently browsing through my game collection searching for something to dull my boredom and I stumbled upon Black and White. In it's day it was one of my favourite games and... more

    Black & White is reffering to the way you can play this game, as Black (Evil) or White (Good) you can chop and change whenever you want. Though playing as consistently Evil is easier I would say. The graphics change according to how good or evil you are as well, skies darkening for example if you are evil, whilst the sun will shine and the birds will sing if you are good! The aim of Black & White is to win over worshippers thus allowing you to overcome opposing Gods. You are a God you see and as such can do many things; with one caveat you can’t use your godly powers outside your sphere ... more

    The game that says more about you than you may care to know! Made by Lionhead studios which are a department of EAGames have created this miraculous piece of gaming wonder. It was created in the year 2000 and released the following year. January 2001. The brains and hard work behind Black & White defined the god sim genre years ago with the awesome game Populous. A decade of copycats later and they have returned with this piece of divine intervention. You are a god, you rule your people, proving your awesome powers with miracles and using giant creatures to carry out your will. Think ... more

    For those not up to date with the computer game world. BLACK AND WHITE is the new game on the block; it’s the new GOLDENEYE (as far as popularity goes). You can also play on line! In this game you are GOD and you have to nurture and show you care for your world. You have a creature that can help you solve the problems you receive (no world is perfect) but he also has to be cared for and trained like you would any creature. I am not a huge fan of computer games, but this has me hooked. You begin your god life with just one village that believes in you, and a temple in which shows how you ... more

    Black & White. Possibly the most hyped, ambitious and looked forward to game of all time. Well 3 years, £4m and a lot of delays later the game is here. Has the time been well spent or is it another Daikatana? Well as you can see from my rating it looks like the time has indeed paid off and we are left with one very good game. The question really should be, is it perfect? Black & White is designed by the gaming legend Peter Molyneux. He has come up with some of the most revolutionary and important games of all time. It was this man who created the ‘God game’ itself with the release ... more

    Right, back to some of my popular game reviews as you seem to like them on here! With all of the reviews that I write, I find the ones you like best are the older games that have a bit of history,skill and plot to them. One of these masterpieces from 2000 is Black and White by EA Games. Yes. EA Games. The people that bring you all of the Sports classics like NHL, NBA and Madden. Here they have branched out away from the typical Ball sport game but they have brought the Team A Vs Team B philosophy across to the game. So what is Black and White? I know its a game. Well, with the major influx of ... more
