Review by Andrew M. There has been a shift in 2013 with the way sports games are made, a shift that I quite like. The developers of sports games, and yes, F1 is a sport, you wannabe elitists out there, have sat down and thought about what the consumers of…
Read MorePreview by Matt S. I’ve always been a bit concerned about Dark Souls 2, after I heard it was announced. My concern was always tied in to the budget of the game – Dark Souls 2 clearly has a bigger budget, and that means it needs to sell more copies…
Read MoreIf you’re a fan of RPGs and you haven’t experienced a Spiderweb Software game at least once, then you’re doing it wrong. This little indie developer has, for years, churned out classic RPG after classic RPG. We’re talking isometric graphics, reams of text to wade through, and narratives that you…
Read MoreRemember Daikatana? If not, that’s possibly because your memory has blocked the experience out to preserve your sanity. John Romero’s follow up to Doom and Quake was nothing short of horrific – not because it was the same kind of B-horror world of Doom and Quake, but because it was…
Read MoreWe love Might & Magic: Duel of Champions at Digitally Downloaded. In fact, true story – on those nights where my extreme insomnia has me awake at 1am in the morning, the timing has been just perfect for some heated battles of cards with Nick from our US team. So…

Read MoreWhen Card Hunter was pointed out to me, the idea of a web browser collectible card game with strategy elements held immediate appeal for me. I really did not know what to expect – some sort of a Magic: The Gathering Tactics game? That was what I was hoping for,…
Read MoreReview by Rob P. I’ve played this game before, and so have you. Well, perhaps not this game, precisely. But certainly one like it. Allied Corps is the latest standalone expansion in the venerable Panzer Corps series, which is itself the successor to the Panzer General franchise of the mid…
Read More– Review by Matt S. It’s a little cruel releasing three Wizardry games and selling them as a package. One game is enough for weeks of play if you get hooked. Three is just insane. So with due disclaimer – though this is the second time I’ve played each game…
Read MoreSometimes one, single, interesting mechanic can be the reason to play a game. Without its bullet-absorption mechanic, Ikaruga is another unremarkable Japanese 2D shooter. Without its dimension-flipping mechanic, Fez is a pretty but mostly unremarkable 2D puzzle-platformer. Without puck manipulation, Scatter is a breakout clone that is successful at cloning…
