<a href=http://www.gamesfirst.com>GamesFirst</a> has posted a somewhat retarded (the reviewer simply doesn't understand the concept of review) <a href=http://www.gamesfirst.com/?id=1054>review</a> of <a href=http://www.nival.com/hs_ru/>Hammer & Sickle</a>, giving it <b>3/5</b>, but praising the turn-based goodness and comparing it with such great TB games like NWN and KOTOR. No kidding.

<blockquote>It's not every day that a decent role-playing game comes out, and it's even rarer when a decent turn-based RPG hits store shelves. Not since the days of the legendary Fallout series have we seen a GREAT turn-based RPG. Ah, those were the days.
<br>
<br>
In the end, Hammer & Sickle is hurt most by its brutal difficulty and bizarre story. However, turn-based RPG fans who have played Fallout, Neverwinter Nights and both KOTORs to death should check out Hammer & Sickle.</blockquote>No comments.

We've already gone through the Gaming Trend and gamesfirst reviews in the previous H&S threads. I'm trying to find anything new but so far nothing has come up.

Re: Mixed feelings on H&S at GamesFirst

Not since the days of the legendary Fallout series have we seen a GREAT turn-based RPG. Ah, those were the days.

I'm beginning to doubt whether reviewers have even played Fallout these days, as every time I see a reference to it in a review, it is an attempt to add "credibility" by saying "look, I played Fallout! Now you'll agree with everything I say!"
