A sequel to the great strategy game "Darwinia," "Multiwinia" has players once again in charge of the stick-figure Darwinians, little digital people who have fragmented into warring tribes since the end of the original game.
Players control one faction of these avatars against one to three opponents, either online or off, in a number of strategy game types, from such standard multiplayer fare as domination, capture the flag and king of the hill to such unusual games as one that has each side trying to refuel a rocket.The game play is streamlined, with intuitive controls and simple mechanics. The graphics have the same stylish, angular look as the original. This is a digital world, after all.
The least-expensive way to get the game appears to be Valve Software's Steam service (Steampowered.com); it costs more to get it directly from the developer's Web site.
PC (Steam and Multiwinia.com download); $9.99 and up
Age rating: Everyone
