I want to give a quick shout out to Adam Smith’s review of Gods & Kings for being the opposite of the pandering and uncritical articles which I complained about earlier. He demonstrates real awareness and understanding of the franchise’s shortcomings, gives a fair analysis of the new mechanics, and even finishes by briefly touching on the more intellectual side of what this game and the other Civilization games actually mean. It’s a good example of why Rock Paper Shotgun is one of the few game news sites which I make a point to read on a regular basis.
