When Anomaly: Warzone Earth was released back during the beginning of 2012, the title received great praise for everything it did correctly, and the content it brought gamers was unparallelled to most of the other titles that were competing in the same market. Anomaly not only gave gamers eye candy with very vivd and colorful graphics- even for the consoles it was released on- but complemented it’s visuals with an amazing soundtrack, meaty gameplay, and even a story that wasn’t dull enough to get gamers to quit. In addition to that is how well made the code of the game itself was- it ran quite well on each of the systems that it was released on during the same timeframe.
gamrReview's Brent Galietti: "Strategy and Simulation games suck us into their worlds by putting our minds to work. We predict all the possible moves we can make and how the enemy can respond. Or we try to make our dreams come true in a virtual world that is tailor made to reward us for expressing our freedom. Whichever way they do it, these games keep our brains in the game, and that's true of this year's nominees."
Game review of the tower offence game Anomaly 2. It's an interesting take on strategic defence, but does it hold up in comparison with its predecessor and competitors?
From the review: "It's all about the multiplayer this time around in the Anomaly franchise. Anomaly 2's singleplayer portion is basically identical to the first game, so if that was your jam, then by all means, go weapons free. If it wasn't your jam, then maybe the multiplayer will keep you interested. Either way, there are fun and interesting gameplay ideas hidden away in Anomaly 2 that can keep you busy over a boring weekend."
