Elemental: War of Magic (PC)
What Is It? Fantasy strategy game from the makers of Sins of a Solar Empire
You'd think the people over at Kotaku would be Smart Enough to know that Stardock didn't Make Sins of a Solar Empire, Ironclad Games Made it, Stardock Published it. I expect normal consumers to get info like this wrong on occasion, but a so called "Professional" review site? Who does their fact checking, a bunch of trained monkeys? When they can't even get basic facts straight it really makes me doubt their skills as reviewers.
People should do their own research and decide if they think they're going to like a game or not. User reviews can be ok for letting someone know if a program is buggy or not, but deciding whether or not something is "Fun" is always left up to the individual gamer. Never let someone else make your decisions for you. Making our own decisions is the only Real Freedom any of us really have in this world and no one can influence my opinion on what I like and think is fun and what I don't. Some people think Monopoly is a fun and challenging game, some don't, and both of those are just opinions, not fact.
