Black & White 2 is a strategy game from Lionhead and EA. Like the original, you play as a benevolent or malevolent god, though there's less godly competition this time around. You build cities, conquer lands, and generally make your presence felt using whatever divine methods you like.

Known Issues

The HUD does stretch, which is most obvious from the tutorial sub-window in the first pair of screenshots. Interestingly enough, Horny and Peter (what I like to call the good and evil advisors that constantly buzz around your screen) appear to be treated as HUD elements despite being 3D models.
