  • Warlock 2: The Exiled (Review) PC

    Posted by on August 20, 2014 under PC, Reviews
    Warlock 2: The Exiled is the sequel to the critically acclaimed Warlock the Arcane. For those of you not familiar with the Warlock series - Warlock 2: The Exiled is an in-depth 4x strategy game. While I dislike making the comparison, Warlock 2 can be compared to the Civilization series for sharing similar gameplay mechanics (even though Warlock 2 can be placed in a league all its own). The real... more.
  • R-Type Dimensions (Review) Playstation 3

    Posted by on July 25, 2014 under PS3, Reviews
    Known for its harder-than-nails gameplay and unforgiving level designs, R-Type is probably one of the most recognizable shooters of all-time. Ported to just about every console system in recent memory, Irem's shooter has been entertaining gamers for well over 27 years. With reboots and HD remasters gaining in popularity, it seemed like a natural progression for R-type, and its sequel R-Type II,... more.

  • Tropico 5 (Review) PC

    Posted by on July 9, 2014 under PC, Reviews
    Tropico 5 places you in control of your very own island, as you assume the role of dictator. The latest release in the Tropico series (like its predecessors) allows the player to rule any way they wish - as a dictator, communist or loving president. There's no discrimination in Tropico; you can be as crooked as the day is long (the choice is entirely up to you). The game starts out rather slow ... more.
  • Wargame Red Dragon (Review) PC

    Posted by on July 9, 2014 under PC, Reviews
    Red Dragon is a real-time strategy game that allows the player to wage war on a massive scale; it’s unlike anything ever seen in an RTS game. Red Dragon provides a remarkable single-player campaign and an even better multiplayer experience. The game is not a sequel or an expansion; it plays as a standalone game. Red Dragon includes four different single-player campaigns that range from easy t... more.

  • Steam Early Access Preview – Endless Legend (PC)

    Posted by on June 26, 2014 under PC, Reviews
    Endless Legend is a 4x strategy game by developer AMPLITUDE Studios. Still in the early stages of alpha on Steam Early Access, Endless Legend is very similar to other 4x strategy games. It shares some similarities with the Civilization series (i.e. building structures, expanding your race, etc.), but that is where the similarities end. The gameplay is so deeply entrenched in strategy that it place... more.
  • Feature Review: Hyperdimension Neptuna Producing Perfection (PSVita – GOTM)

    Posted by on June 18, 2014 under Portables, Reviews
    There was a time when developers would cringe at the idea of releasing an Idol Simulautor in the West. While quite popular in Japan, this genre has never really caught on with gamers worldwide.  But due to the popularity of shows such as American Idol and X Factor, NIS America decided to release Producing Perfection stateside, and the end result is quite surprising. While reviewing Producing P... more.
