<A href="http://www.technicalgeek.com">Technical Geek</a> has typed up and posted their <A href="http://www.technicalgeek.com/Games/ss/ss.htm">review</A> of <A href="http://www.silentstorm-online.com">Silent Storm</a> saying it's an <b>excellent choice</b> and gives it an <b>85%</b>. Here's a clip:

<br>
<blockquote>Silent Storm. What does it mean? Beats me… How do you play the game? Beats me… Well, at least for a while it did. After I finally figured out how to play Silent Storm, I learned what a cool game it really was. Until that point, Silent Storm was like a colossal mess I didn't want to figure out. The first time I tried playing had been a complete failure. I tried the tutorial, but once I got to weapon training, I had no idea how to move, since everything was turn based. Go ahead… start laughing.</blockquote>

Already started, baby! You'll have to read beyond this part for the punchline about what confused him. I really enjoyed that part.

Now onto Silent Storm's RTS/turn based aspect. You command your squad in an RTS/turn based mode. Yes, it sounds very weird.

That does sound weird! I've never heard that being done in a game before! Well except for Jagged Alliance, DG, JA2, UB, Fallout, etc., etc...

Was looking over the screenies and was surprised to see a M1895 Nagant revolver. Looks like somebody did their homework on the weaponary. Too bad the system requirements are out of my league.

Guess he has played so many other turn-based games like BG2 and KOTOR that he thought his computer froze when everyone didn't move at once.
