Chess Review

Today strategy games are everywhere. When I was in high school I remember playing and enjoying Dune 2 and Seige. Before then I played games like Warsong. Then came all manner of "Tactics" games like Final Fantasy Tactics, Ogre Battle, La Pucelle, even Romance ot the Three Kingdoms Tactics. Nowadays games like Warcraft dominate the strategy market.

The hunger for strategy games lives on, and their popularity is not difficult to discover. Strategy games force you to think and plan. They force you to fight for survival and use your mind.

But with all the strategy games on the market, if a game like Chess suddenly appeared how would it rate? What might a game review of chess soung like now?

Greg Kasavin attempts to answer that question with his review.

This tongue-in-cheeck review appeals to my sense of humour, but is also very telling. Even in a world of Warcraft (pun intended) the original game of chess stands on its own. Because in the end chess isn't just a strategy game, "Chess is life."
