Strategy Informer: WorldShift Review

Strategy Informer writes: "On the front of Worldshift's box are your typical gaming buzzwords. "Strategic – Epic – Immersive." There's pretension involved when publishers slap journalistic terms on their own box, after all, we'll be the judge of such claims. Worldshift is the latest game from Black Sea Studios. Their first game was the relatively unknown PC title, Knights of Honor. Four years later and a lot has changed. Broadband has fielded a want for an ever-connected gaming experience and casual gaming is in full swing. Rejuvenation was needed if Black Sea Studios were serious about presenting a modern 'epic, strategic, immersive' experience. Worldshift had been in open-beta up until May when the studio was acquired by Crytek (the minds behind Crysis), rebranding itself as Crytek Black Sea. It all went quiet until a retail copy arrived out of the blue with the announcement that the UK / English language version had been released. Promising a blend of old school RTS'ing and next gen connectivity is Worldshift the next step in PC gaming?"
