Children of the Nile: Enhanced Edition

Positively Ladylike At a slender $10, Children of the Nile has decided to drop the Immortal Cities prefix in favour of an Enhanced Edition suffix. A wise choice - a game title can only tolerate so many colons and hyphens, before Lynne Truss abseils in through a window and starts busting some nuts.

This isn't so much an extended edition, as a revamped version of the Egyptian city builder. Balance tweaks, UI prods, and gameplay fiddles all combine to make the game feel a little more modern, whilst still only requiring a 2004 PC to play it. The fundamental pace of the game is still the well-rounded, patient and complex process of the original - it's just a bit better now.

If you've already got the game, don't complain - these enhancements are available as a patch.
