Hey folks

Just wanted to point you to the review of W:EE that I wrote for Australia's top PC gaming magazine, PC PowerPlay. We gave it a nice double page review, and I scored it a very high 9/10. Not only has Eugen created an extremely unique and innovative style of wargame, they've also managed to make it extremely polished in the process. Not to mention an absolute joy to play.

Devs - please PM me if you'd like a PDF of the review.

Nice Its well deserved.

That's awesome, I'd love to read the review.

Funny how the metacritic score for Wargame is only 79, while the vast majority of reviews are above 80/100. Just a few really bad reviews can significantly pull down the game average far below where it really ought to be.

They should really post a median score rather than an average score. I think it would be more accurate.

I think the user ratings are more accurate than the critic ratings in this case.

Where can I read a review? If you can email me a .pdf, PM me and i will get you an email address. Otherwise, could you post a link here?

I'm guessing as it's in a magazine he can't post it. Someone might scan it up later.

Yes, I was curious enough to find the magazine online but there's no sign on the review on the Web yet.

Let me ask the boss if I can post the PDF online.

Critics are almost forced to give every game a decent review. Even the worst of the worst games get 8s on most professional reviewing websites.

Take RAGE for the PC:

79%, pretty good score. RAGE on launch did not actually work or run. It took a month for them to fix it for users of one type of graphics cards and another three months for them to create a fix for a different user of a graphics card. Despite this most game review websites gave this an 80 or a 90 because they got an advance copy of the game that was playable.

I would never trust the reviews of a professional website anymore. If everyone is giving this game an 80 or a 90 they're doing it because they have to, not based on the merits of the game. It's actually unfortunate because it doesn't leave much of a performance benchmark for the devs.

There is a HUGE difference on being pressed to give good reviews to a bethesda ID software game than to an Eugen game. No offense intended to Eugen, but they do not have the leverage that ID has.
