For the Glory of Rome! I played this with expectations that "here we go again yet another match three." That's where I was wrong, as I was playing it was like a strange addiction, kind of like mixing Milk with Pepsi. It should'nt be so good but yet it's strangely addicting. I am always a history enthusiasts and especially when it comes to Egyptian, Greece and Roman history so naturally I explored it much like other games of history like Caesar I-IV, Age of Empires and Sid Meiers Civ series. The powerups are as follows, from the very useful thunderbolt, to the useful bomb shot that blows out 6 cells. And the semi-useful the hammer shot. It's not revolutionary in terms of setting any standards or precedent but rather the feeling of building an empire without micromanagement of standard RTS/RPG games some of which I already mentioned. I cannot really list the real appeal of this game, for me it's like when I play Fizzball and Talismania, strangely I was addicted to playing it if for no other reason than the cartoony graphics along with the feeling like you're actually doing something, building a momument, buildings, or rescuing animals. It's a sort of a feeling of accomplishment as you read the entertaining comical anecdotes or interesting facts from mankinds past. Maybe I'm just a really really strange person that way. I love it.
