Harr-Harr-Harr I knew that sometime the fools will praise a good game and not something like Age of Empires

Dominions 2 is really worth more than #1 It should ascend!

You know the big problem? He listed the learning curve as "About 1 hour". That, if nothing else, should discredit his entire article - he's off by a factor of 100, at least... not to imply that you could learn Dominions in 100 hours, but at least you'd get a feel for what's a good idea, and what not to do in that timeframe.

Is it #1 because there are no other strategy games on Gamespot?

This is a big part of the reason why The Wargamer has a policy not to give numerical reviews, but rather to explain what seems good and bad about a game. Dominions is a 10 at what it does best, and thus a 10 for players who appreciate it. It might be a 6 for players who'd rather be shooting 3D Pokemon, but that's really irrelevant.

Not at all - they list the the top 10. The Sims 2 is #2.

Anyone wanna venture which game had the bigger production budget?
