Review by Matt S. Strategy games on PC are a different beast to strategy games on consoles. On consoles the likes of Advance Wars and Fire Emblem are considered complex strategy games, but these pale in comparison to PC titles like Europa Universalis IV. Conversely, the PC game community, weened…
Read MorePreview by Mike B. Frozen Synapse is a title that is heavily regarded among the Digitally Downloaded staff. It’s such a simple concept, but executed to a level of precision that we rarely see at any level. The player plans the movements and actions of a small unit of troops…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Drive on Moscow, the follow up to Shenandoah Studio’s previous wargame, Battle of the Bulge, is a near carbon copy of the engine that ran the team’s previous effort. That’s a good thing because there are still far too few genuinely serious wargames available on the…
