Black & White [PC]

In Black & White you can be the god you want to be. Will you rule with a fair hand, making life better for your people? Or will you be evil and scare them into prayer and submission? No one can tell you which way to be. You, as a god, can play the game any way you choose

You must impress other tribes to get more followers, and as your zealous power base grows you are faced with innumerable challenges. The people will pray to you to help them, make them rich, harm their neighbours of simply make their lives easier. Whether you choose to listen to them or help them is up to you.

And as a god, you get to own a Creature. Chosen by you from magical, special animals, your Creature will copy you, you will teach him and he will learn by himself. He will grow, ultimately to 30 metres, and can do anything you can do in the game. Your Creature can help the people or can kill and eat them. He can cast Miracles to bring rain to their crops or he can drown them in the sea. Your Creature is your physical manifestation in the world of Eden, He is whatever you want him to be.

Your people will build you a Temple and although you can go anywhere in the land, this Temple is your base. It's a mighty piece of work and contains all you'll ever need to be a god, run your world and look after or check on your Creature.

But things are never simple. You are not the only god on Eden. There are others, and they will not have the same views as you. They, too, are intent on gaining the hearts and minds, and finally the souls of the tribes, and, like you, they have Creatures capable of great works or of mass destruction. There will be war between the gods. Whether you win is down to you, your Creature and what sort of a person you really are.

Black & White utilises brand-new graphics control systems, and you see the world from any angle, direction or height. It's fully scalable, has light-sourcing and reflections, and you can even import real weather from the internet into the world. Nothing like this has ever been seen before.
