MOLYNEUX STRIKES AGAIN

We've been drooling over this game for a long time now, and with its planned ship date of Winter 2000, Black and White is looking better than ever. It's an . . . er . . . well, it's a God Game, in the grand tradition of Molyneux God Games, only it's promising ten times the coolness of Populous and its brothers. A classic tale of good versus evil, Black and White pits you against another god to rule the world. You have an avatar -- a creature that you must raise and nurture -- and the way you treat the avatar defines what sort of god you are and, in effect, the way the game is played. Treating it kindly will make you good. Making it a destructive beast of doom will, on the other hand, slap you on the path of evil. There will be puzzles and quests throughout the world, and you'll have to use your smarts to figure out how to solve them. And then the other gods appear, and there is only one solution. One god to rule them all . . . but will it be you? This game promises so much, but Molyneux is known for delivering. Keep your fingers crossed and your eyes peeled.
