A good album that will satisfy fans but probably not attract new blood. I would only give my highest rating to a couple of songs, there's a few other good ones but nothing special that captures the old dcfc magic that I love. Although this is coming from a old fan who just might think the good ole days were just really good because it was new at the time.
What's great about it: Fans will probably be happy with it
What's not so great: for me the album still isnt as solid as Transatlanticism
The murder of Julius Caesar sparks an earth-shaking series of events in this release featuring all 10 episodes of Rome: Season Two. Season Two of the lavish, lusty British historical series Rome begins exactly where Season One left off, with the murder of Julius Caesar on the Ides of March in the year 44 BCE. The power struggle that follows is set in motion when, thanks largely to the machinations of Caesar's scheming niece Atia (Polly Walker), her young and callow son Octavian is announced as heir to the throne--infuriating Caesar's closest ally Marc Antony (James Purefoy). In the war that follows between Antony's "Caesarians" and Octavians "Liberators", there can be only one winner--but it is not until the season concludes in the year 31 BCE that the true winner is revealed. Amidst the intrigues of Rome's high-born power brokers, we never lose sight of the secondary plotline involving two lowly veterans of the Gallic wars, Titus Pullo (Ray Stevenson) and Lucius Vorenus (Kevin McKidd). Characteristically, it is the thoroughly hedonistic Pullo who thrives and prospers during this turbulent era, with each stroke of luck advancing his prestigate and wealth. Conversely, Lucius suffers spectacularly throughout season two, beginning with the death of his beloved wife and the distintegration of his family. The ultimate blow will not be dealt to Vorenus until the season finale, but in the meantime much is made of the fact that Gallo has aligned himself with Octavian, and Vorenus casts his lot with Antony. Though scrupulously authentic in its historical detail, Rome continues to successfully pinpoint the most "contemporary" aspects of ancient History. Especially notable this season is the series' depiction of Rome's small but ever-growing Jewish community, and the emergence of "Crip and Blood"-style gang warfare in the treacherous Aventine Collegium district. In a similar vein, after Marc Antony suffers his humiliating defeat at Actium, he retreats to the palace of his Egyptian lover Queen Cleopatra (Lyndsley Marshal), where the two lost souls wallow in debauchery.

Pretty good gameplay still yet, and they add a few things here and there. The graphics are pretty okay, but the animation makes it look good. EA stills owns the football genre, this is the best pigskin you can get.
What's great about it: Fun
What's not so great: kinda gets old without 2 players.

In its missions, the game feels less like a game and more like interactive drama. It’s a playable crime story, doing what it feels it should. Get in a car and the GPS system maps you to a destination and, if you’re in the right car or turn the option on in the game’s pause menu, it talks you there as well. There’s less getting lost, less struggling with the controls, less frustration, at least as judged by a two-hour session.

Despite the gta clone obviousness, its a clone that works well and provides some solid gameplay and a lot of fun. I would actually recommend it over previous gta's , especially now since you should be able to find it for a fairly cheap price. Tons of fun to be had.
What's great about it: custom avatar, fun game
What's not so great: can be frusterating at times - but not that much.
