Black and White 2


I’m a bit of an inept player. Not terrible, you understand, but not the greatest either. A game has to really capture my attention for me to finish it. My favourite games are MMORPG’s, where you learn, rinse and repeat until you are good at what you do.

Black and White 2 is interesting though.

You play a God, who along with a complex AI creature, build a civilization, and an army and then conquer other lands. There is a choice of four creatures, a lion, a cow, an ape (ginger) and a wolf. You can also have an option for a tiger with a special unlocking key.

I chose the nice wolf. He looked cute. He growled and whimpered and behaved well with some firm training and some reassuring petting. All was well, the land was sunny, the villagers were happily ploughing the land and having babies and building houses.

So I went to have a bath.

Upon my return, thunderclouds swirled round the land, the wolf had eaten some of the villagers, pooed on the houses and the the survivors were screaming.

”Perhaps you shouldn’t leave it running?” suggested Adam. Thanks.
