To maul the words of Winston Churchill, rarely in the field of gaming history have so many been excited and subsequently disappointed by such a wholly worthless game. Despite being created by a team led by a supposed 'professional,' the first signs of trouble were clear for all to see - constantly delayed, more and more money being pumped into development and other difficulties. Still, that's enough about Ion Storm's bomb
So what of Lionhead's equally anticipated and delayed Black and White? Fortunately for both Lionhead and purchasers of the game, Black and White turned out to be not too shabby at all - at first, anyway. And no doubt the game will rack up higher sales figures than the Bible - well, higher sales figures than The Bible Adventures: Jumping Jesus anyway.
