Overview
Description

Black & White 2 is an acclaimed god simulation and real-time strategy game where you act as a deity summoned from the void by desperate refugees. Shape the destiny of your followers by developing their civilization through peaceful city-building or brutal conquest, while nurturing a massive physical avatar—ranging from an ape to a tiger—whose alignment reflects your moral choices. Building upon the foundation of the original game, this sequel introduces full-scale warfare and fighting units as you lead your chosen civilization across various lands to defeat rival empires like the Norse, Japanese, and Aztecs. Balance your divine miracles, manage your economy and population's desires, and fulfill an ancient prophecy to achieve ultimate dominance over the world.

Step into the bustling world of culinary chaos as you start behind a fast‑food counter and work your way up to a five‑star restaurant empire. Master timing, precision, and menu creation while juggling demanding customers and expanding your kitchen. The game blends puzzle‑style cooking challenges with strategic restaurant management, offering both solo and split‑screen multiplayer modes on PlayStation 3, Android, and iOS.
