Celtic Kings: The Punic Wars - Review @ Gamers Hell

Gamers Hell has a review of Haemimont's 'Celtic Kings: The Punic Wars' (aka Nemesis of the Roman Empire in the US). The score is 7/10 and here's a grab:
Is it just me or does every game want to be an RPG these days? True or not, RPG is certainly the current buzzword, though technically an acronym, in the gaming industry today. Every game seems to have ‘RPG Elements’ or ‘RPG Style Gameplay,’ I swear if this trend continues we’ll have Madden the RPG in no time, knowing EA it’s probably already in development. I remember the days when RPG was the last thing on earth you wanted attached to you, a time when these three seemingly innocuous letters could spell social as well as romantic disaster, a time when RPG playing was a more closely guarded secret than cross dressing. Anyway ‘The Punic Wars: A Clash of Two Empires,’ is the latest game with so-called, ‘RPG Elements,’ so is it all just marketing guff or is there some truth to it?
