Post subject: Forumini'09 Creativity: Challenge #5 of 10 (Deadline 14 May)
|
 |
|
In the style of a magazine article, write a review of a historical game/ruleset other than AAM or WAS (e.g. DBM, FoG, VaS, Shako, WoW, A&A, ...)
The text/images/videos used must all be yours.
It doesn't have to be World War 2 and it doesn't have to be a miniature game, but it must be historical (not sci-if/fantasy, ...). Take as much space as you need.
Deadline: 14 May 2009, 23.59 US Pacific Time
After the deadline, we will vote for the winners. The scores for every creativity challenge is:
1st 10 pts, 2nd 8, 3rd 7, 4th 6, 5th 4, 6th 3, 7th 2, 8th 1
YOU MUST NOT COMMENT ON ANY OF THESE ENTRIES before the deadline.
Post here your entries or clarification questions. Not comments.

A review of a game. If you have invented it yourselves, then that's ok too, but it's the review that we'll vote for. Not the game.
Sure, it can be a historical videogame too.

Now what if I created a video game for a school project that is historical, could I review that?
(BTW I'm trying to get this game developed)

Only if your game is available for everyone to download by 13 May 2009, 23.59 US Pacific Time. No point reviewing something that people can't play.

Haha, okay that won't be happening, it may be another year, or two. But we could review like a Call Of Duty game? Or is that not historical enough?

Multiple players can review the same game.

Hm, would Assassins Creed be okay? Technically it is medieval times so it is historical. If not I call dibs on....Blazing Angels:Squadrons of WWII.

Computer games are ok too, but I'm sure boardgames and miniature games are more highly regarded in our forum.
In any case, make sure all text/images/videos are yours and that the game belongs to the historical genre.
As far as I know, Assassin's Creed isn't a historical game, but if you can prove otherwise with your review, go ahead.

All I know is that it is based in the HOly Land during the Crusades. I think I understand now, it has to be like a historical event that actually happened?
