Ubisoft released the first screenshots and artwork for Dawn of Discovery: Venice.
Dawn of Discovery: Venice improves upon the already successful city building simulation game by adding new combat options and online multiplayer. These types of complex games truly shine when the myriad options create flexibility in how a player can adapt to a situation, and in how they allow the player to think creatively to solve problems. Venice's features compliment the original game and add even more variables to an already deep system.
GamersGate has discounted the two title ANNO 1404 Gold Edition, taking $17.50 off the pack through Sunday as part of its Weekend Sale. The bundle offers the core title along with its expansion Venice.
Venice delivers some genuinely excellent features in a game that was already a leader in its genre. It is arguable that Related Designs are a victim of their own success by creating new features that feel such a natural fit for the original that the player wonders why they were not there in the first place. The additional material in Venice gives the impression that it should have been part of really great enhancement patch, rather than a fully featured and fully priced expansion.
