Sierra Evil Genius

Strengths: Looks great. Great concept.

Weakness: A lot of waiting around.

Evil Genius reminds me of the older Dungeon Siege. In that game you built a dungeon to trap do-gooders. In Evil Genius you're a maniachal villian bent on world domination. Pretty much the concept's the same but the setting changes to 70's camp super-spydom. It's a great idea and can be lots of fun as a strategy game. The setting is pulled off perfectly with henchmen and great graphics. The one...

Are you EVIL enough?

Strengths: Nice change of pace. Graphics looks good enough. Good gameplay.

Weakness: Slow loading and stutter a bit sometimes.

For once, you are not trying to save the world. In this game, you get to be evil. The change of pace from the normal of saving the world is what makes this game fun. Not many games promos this kind evil thinking, so this is where the game excelled in this new genre, I guess you can sort of call that. So for the players in this game, you are allow to be evil, the main point of the game, and trying...

Evil Genius (PC)

Strengths: The Sims meets Austin Powers, nice graphics,

Weakness: Too much resource management, too much planning and not enough action

Evil Genius is sort of a cross between The Sims and Austin Powers. As an evil genius, it's work to create a headquarters, and build it up with machines, henchmen and other things an evil genius needs to function. There's a bit of resource management in the building aspects of it, and it seems like it's all building and not as much action. The game does look good, and it's very tongue-in-cheek,...

Strengths: good game, originally sadistic in it's humor, you breakdance while torturing enemy agents

Weakness: a difficult play even on easy, building a base is ahrder than it looks when you get too many henchmen the game slows can crash with basic common IM programs and virus checkers

Reminds me of dungeon keeper 2 in it's sadistic style of real time resource management. A game where you build your evil reputation out in the world while simultaniously building your island fortress to keep you safe from snooping agents who are looking for the stolen uberloot. from cloning yourself to kidnapping maids to train your valets this game has alot of fun to offer. reminds me of a peter...

Evil Genius

“Right team, you have your orders – get out there and find a madman!” So that madman may well be you, or is it a madwoman? Regardless, Evil Genius gives players the opportunity to take a twist on the James Bond theme – rather than play the role of the good guy, your job is to be evil, nefarious, underhanded, and low-down rotten. The goal is, like with every criminal maniac, to rule the...

Evil Genius

Every once in a while, an idea comes along that's so blindingly obvious everyone misses it. Elixir Studios, the same team that brought us the ambitious but fatally flawed Republic: The Revolution, had such an idea. Create a real-time management game in the tradition of the classic Dungeon Keeper set in the campy world of '60's spy movies. The twist though, would be that rather than playing as the...

Evil Genius

If there's one thing that gets me excited, it's megalomaniacal thoughts of world domination and international infamy. While these ideas often cross my caffeine addled mind, it's not often that I actually have the chance to test out my mettle against the world and their stinky agents of good. Every now and again I get the chance to live out my fantasy of a world trembling at my feet thanks to...
