Sid Meier's Pirates! Review (Xbox) | |
|

If someone dubbed you “The Father of Computer Gaming”, there’s a strong chance that your past work had a direct impact on the current crop of consoles. Sid Meier is the padre which has had a huge amount of influence on current gaming trends; namely those revolving around the “sim” and strategy train of thought. Sid brought us games like Civilization, and Railroad Tycoon which revolutionized PC gaming in the early 90’s. Slightly before these killer strategy sims, Sid and cronies at MicroProse put out Pirates!, an open-ended look at plundering buccaneer style. The Pirates! of old was so popular that it was recently redone for the 3D era, and met with the same critical acclaim as the original. Now, 2K Games and the new Briggs/Meier vehicle Firaxis Games are bringing the hit Pirates! redux over to the Xbox. Will it too be worth its weight in pieces of eight? | ||
