Populous DS
Almost 20 years after it first appeared on home computers, the original god game Populous returns on the Nintendo DS. Casting players in the role of a deity who must shepherd subjects and defeat enemy gods, the game was incredible back in 1989. Today, though, it feels rather limited. You would think a god could do more than just raise and lower the land and cause an earthquake or two. Nostalgic gamers might enjoy taking the universe for another spin, but if you missed the previous versions of Populous you may wonder what all the fuss was about.
