'''Berg's View of Games''' (aka BROG) occurs as publication began by game designer Richard Berg. A magazine, which debuted around 1991 & recently went virtual, features reviews of wargames. A magazine is known for its thoughtful however typically savage tone, refusing to suffer jerky designs lief. 1 Globe War II game had this read: "Playing this game makes Sisyphus' task a lark in the park." Yearly, Berg's View of Games mitts out a satiric "Little Macs," which are then awarded for dubious accomplishment around play. A award is known as for recalcitant American Civil War general George McClellan, BROG was inducted into a Academy of Adventure Gaming Arts & Design's Hall of Fame in 1997.

GameSpy Review by David Cassady and Debra McBride, 77%. "Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds is a solid and very enjoyable RTS that should please fans of the series even if it doesn't wow them." Total Video Games Review by Chris Leyton, 8/10. "LucasArts have taken one of the most refined RTS engines out there, which means there is a good game at heart." Action Trip Review by Gareth Von Kallenbach, 86%. "A fun and solid game that despite having dated graphics and a lot of resemblance to an 'Age' mod, it finally delivers the RTS Star Wars game that will satisfy the fans who have waited for a long time for a RTS game worthy of the Star Wars legacy." GameZone Review by RGerbino, 9/10. "Galactic Battlegrounds is AOE with the coolest facelift this side of Mos Eisley." Game Revolution Review by Brian Gee, C. "In a nutshell, it feels like an AoE mod more than a stand-alone game." SLCentral Review by Aaron Dahlen, 8/10. "Too many RTS titles in recent months have had their strongest assets in visuals and sound. I'm glad that Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds has its strongest assets in gameplay." Computer and Video Games Review by Keith Pullin, 84%. "A few more innovative elements such as supply lines and slightly better graphics would have been welcome, but what the hell - there's gameplay here in abundance and that's what counts." Journal Sentinel Review by Matt Stanton. "Although lacking in originality, LucasArts has tapped the best ideas from earlier strategy games and put them together in a stable package." BlueSmoke Review by Jin-Ning Tioh. "An artful blending of two worlds, one of which is the tried-and-true engine and gameplay of Age of Empires II, as well as the storytelling, art, and design of the seasoned Star Wars designers, Galactic Battlegrounds certainly seems to combine the best of both worlds." Game Club Central Review by David Washington, 9/10. "Fans of Age of Empires II who are looking for a completely new experience may be somewhat disappointed with Galactic Battlegrounds. ... But SWGB adds enough new features and strategic elements to make it a quality product within its own right." |
