Imagine a place older than Athens, older than Carthage, older than Rome; a place brimming with archaeological and historical treasures but that hardly gets any visitors in comparison with the others. Plovdiv, Bulgaria's second city, is just such a place. In 432 Plovdiv was conquered by Philip of Macedonia and under the Roman Empire it was the capital of Thrace. The legacy of the Romans alone would make Plovdiv stick out as a place of great significance but it doesn't stop there. Old Plovdiv is essentially an open-air museum with over 150 examples of Bulgarian architecture, much of it from the National Revival period. It is especially cheering to hear that the Old Town of Plovdiv is actually a town in its own right with particular emphasis on restoring and preserving notable buildings.

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Plovdiv
Advantages: good team play, fun graphics, constantly updated and improved Disadvantages: hard!
Since Team Fortress 2 has been updated alot lately, i only think its fair i update my review.
TF2 is a first person shooter, online multiplayer fiasco. Its like Battlefield 2 took some drugs with Walt Disney and then got in a washing machine and set its self to rinse.
The graphics, as you can see, are very cartoony, as was the case with TF classic (so im lead to believe). But dont let that put you off. They are awfully good graphics and its quite a pretty game.
Its worth mentioning that like the battlefield series of games, (and others) TF2 has "classes". There's the scout, Pyro, heavy, demoman, soldier, medic, spy, engineer and sniper. Unlike other games though, the classes here are very very different. The difference between the Scout and Heavy for example are astronomical. The scout has only 150 health, a bat, a pistol and shotgun ...
Advantages: Truly original and completely addictive, great community for all players Disadvantages: No use if you are unable to play online
What sort of gamer are you in general, a quick, raiding wasp of a player who attacks and runs away unscathed - then repeats? Or maybe a turtle who enjoys the safety of his own castle while raining down destruction on far off enemies while providing vital aid for nearby allies? Or maybe, just maybe you'll realise that you are a highly skilled villain - the much feared and respected scum of the gaming world who uses clever underhand tactics and mind games to dominate?
Do any of these sound like you? Well they describe perfectly just a few opportunities open to you in Team Fortress 2, the Scout is a nimble baseball fan armed with a scattergun and a baseball bat who can run circles around slower enemies until... He runs into range of an engineer's sentry gun built nicely into a corner with its turtle-like maker crouching behind it ...
