Stronghold 2
PC GAME REVIEW posted on 29 JUN 2005 by Scott Parrino
At long last, here is conclusive proof that evolution is bogus. Stronghold 2 is one of those rare examples of a sequel that manages, despite seemingly massive technical improvements, several years of development, and a large budget, to be a worse game than it's predecessor.

Thunder Pack Platinum
PC GAME REVIEW posted on 2 JUL 2003 by Scott Parrino
"Thunder Pack Platinum's big sell is that the CD comes with four strategy games on it. Unfortunately, that's about all there is to it. The titles included in this compilation are not deeply strategic, and while interesting at first, are probably on par with other simple games..."
Roller Coaster Tycoon 2
PC GAME REVIEW posted on 8 JAN 2003 by Scott Parrino
"Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 represents the inevitable sequel. The game engine and graphics remain largely unchanged, however, casting more of a 'Roller Coaster Tycoon 1.1' aura than the all-new epiphany many had anticipated."
Emperor: Rise of the Middle Kingdom
PC GAME REVIEW posted on 8 OCT 2002 by Scott Parrino
"Impressions Games hands the reigns to BreakAway Games this time in order to fashion yet another title in their City-Building series. So is Emperor: Rise of the Middle Kingdom just another well-trod road through a new civilization, or does it manage to be something bigger, better, and greater than its predecessors?"
Emperor: Rise of the Middle Kingdom
PC GAME PREVIEW posted on 16 AUG 2002 by Scott Parrino
"The Emperor game stands on the shoulders of giants and is the most sophisticated and elegant of its line. The teaming of Breakaway Games (Cleopatra expansion for Pharaoh), with the Impressions Games great city building game engine seems destined to result in a 'win-win' product."
Stronghold
PC GAME REVIEW posted on 22 DEC 2001 by Scott Parrino
"Stronghold combines the best of the city-building and real-time strategy genres. The economic and population modules convincingly reflect the basics of everyday life in the Middle Ages. Most importantly, this game takes these important and complex details and makes them fun to handle."
