Caesar IV (Preview)

Oct 13, 2006

Friday 13 October 2006 Julius Caesar had really great hair. No, really. The onomastic root of 'caesar' is 'hairy', implying that the Caesars were well-know for having a finely styled head of hair - or, of course, that they were entirely bald, and all the other Romans were just having a laugh.

Caesar IV (Review)

Oct 10, 2006

Managing the Roman Empire is no easy task, but somebody's got to do it. And in Caesar IV that somebody is you.

Caesar IV - hands-on (Preview)

Sep 15, 2006

The last reign of a Caesar city-builder franchise was a full eight years ago, and in the time between the Caesar team produced the charming builder, Immortal Cities: Children of the Nile. The pharaoh-themed Nile pushed the development team from a 2D palate into the 3D world, and the fourth Caesar game takes an even further graphical leap. Caesar IV takes full advantage of nearly every visual bell and whistle that you might think of - quashing the notion that this level of detail is reserved ...
