Black & White 2 Expansion Coming

March 16, 2006 1:10 PM

Sup game announcements. Lionhead has announced that it is developing a Black & White 2 expansion pack called Battle of the Gods. Lionhead promises the expansion will feature a "much darker, more sinister game world", and will add a new creature, two new lands, six new challenges and four additional miracles. Enemy AI has also been reworked. Black & White 2: Battle of the Gods will be released by EA some time this year.

Want to know if Black & White 2 is your kind of game? A demo is finally available.

    I like the game, I liked b&w too.
    What pisses me off is that it stores the save games in my documents, I didnt know that, reformatted and lost 16 hours of play. fuck doing all that again :(

      Tons of games store their saves in My Documents. It's a trend I hate too.

        What I wonder is why they can't just fucking let us choose where game data (screenshots, savegames, etc.) is stored; why must it be hardcoded? I have yet to see a game that lets you do this and it baffles me. Surely it can't be that difficult to add a simple UI option that lets you edit the directory.

  I did. I wanted to like it. I wanted it to be better than the first. Both games were just OK... not good or evil.

  yeah I wasted my money on it and no matter what gfx setting I use I got like 5fps. Even after the patches. I got a pretty fast computer too that plays most every game out there on high gfx settings

  I did. I was disappointed for a second time. I guess I just don't learn.
  
  It is a very bad game. No clear focus, you get lost all of the time, the controls are poor (you have to earn better ones, wtf), and the rewards are "do this all again in a harder setting".
  
  $100 down the drain to those two games.
