Warzone 2100 is quality
Review of Warzone 2100 (PC) by
Asherben
Advantages: Good in its own right
Disadvantages: Similar style to all the rest
...This is probably one of the better strategy games out at the moment.
I'm a big Command and Conquer fan, and I have to say that Warzone2100 has made me forget about C&C. It's similar in a lot of ways, but better. To start, it is in a 3-d realm. You don't have to harvest anything, just build oil derricks and a power station. There's more weaponry such as wheeled, half-tracked, tracked, and hover ground units, cyborgs, and vtols.

Disadvantages: A little heavy
...The Presario 2100 is a useful laptop.
The keyboard is easy to use, although it could, perhaps, do with being a little bit bigger and perhaps it is a bit too springy for my liking. Although I am told that I still type as if I am using my old Imperial Model T Good Companion portable typewriter. And perhaps there is some truth in this!
The Presario is easy to operate. Although I feel that it would be better to have four, rather than two USB ports on the machine. Operating a printer, using a USB modem (for ADSL) downloading from a camera and using a USB mouse as I do means constant juggling around of USB devices. Or using extra USB ports.
The Presario is not very light so is a little less portable th |
