Black & White from Lionhead Studios released originally back in 2001 went on to great reviews, and won various awards. Sadly, it's one game that has also been lost to time but the openblack project plans to revive it with open source.

            I’m surprised you’re the same person who asked the question that guy replied to. I thought your question was serious at first, then as soon as I read his post I assumed yours was actually posted entirely to set up that joke.

            edit: maybe I’m replying to another setup that I’m too dense to piece together

              No, my brain is on survival mode and isn’t thinking too well. I promise you I am being 100% genuine in both comments

              I take this as a compliment that my pun was that laser-accurate.
