Populous II

Awesome! One of the greatest games of all time just got considerably better. Bullfrog's long-awaited sequel is just so excellent that it's difficult to find the words to describe it.

Bascially, it's pretty much the same game - guide your followers through a series of apocalyptic battles, God versus God, over countless isometric worlds.

From that point on, however, it's a whole new ball game. Whereas the original game had only a handful of godly effects, Populous II has scores of them, many much more deadly than anything encountered in the first game. The plethora of extra features (road and city building, effects that interact with each other, experience points that build up as you progress) make Populous II a far more involved and rewarding experience than the original.

Absolutely phenomenal stuff, Populous II is a game that you really really cannot afford to miss. Buy it immediately.
