Dawn of War II: Chaos Rising Published Date: Mar 22, 2010The Warhammer 40,000 universe has always been a mess of contradictions. It’s probably the most outwardly ridiculous franchise that also demands to be taken completely seriously, pitting religious fundamentalist super-soldiers against a demonic menace and various high-tech Tolkien cast-offs....

Supreme Commander 2 Published Date: Mar 11, 2010The RTS genre has been around for the best part of two decades, and for all the innovations in game play and graphics, it always seems like somebody hasn’t gotten the memo. Despite a few concessions to modernity, Supreme Commander 2 has sprung fully-formed from a portal to the late-nineties...

Greed: Black Border Published Date: Jan 19, 2010If recent trends in entertainment are anything to go by, exploring deep space is going to involve dealing with an awful lot of zombies, giant bugs, and strange combinations of the two. Greed: Black Border is the latest title to jump on this particular bandwagon, but unfortunately this science...

King Arthur Published Date: Dec 21, 2009The world of Arthurian legends has long been fertile ground for fiction. While some have turned the story and setting into little more than a soap opera, other interpretations have used the tales of the “Once and Future King” as a means of exploring ancient Britain, in particular the morality, m...

Torchlight Published Date: Nov 1, 2009The formula for a Diablo-style action RPG seems so simple you wonder how anybody could mess it up. All you need are some monsters with self-preservation skills equal to the terrorists from ‘80s action movies, some ludicrously overpowered weapons, a few procedurally generated dungeons to run...

Majesty 2 Published Date: Sep 27, 2009The first Majesty was a sleeper hit for the PC. Coming out in 2000, the fantasy game looked a little dated even when compared to titles that preceded it like Homeworld and Deus Ex. However, slightly below-par graphics couldn’t detract from some well-implemented ideas and addictive game mech...

Order of War Published Date: Sep 23, 2009Finding something new to say about World War II is a real challenge, but that isn’t to say people shouldn’t try. Recently, the fine movie Days of Glory showed the war from the perspective of French colonial troops, fighting for the freedom of a country that considered them second-class ci...

Blood Bowl Published Date: Jun 30, 2009A few weeks ago, I remarked to my editor over a few beers just how tired I am of always spending the first few paragraphs of every review talking about which series or franchise a particular game ties into. So when a title like Blood Bowl comes along it’s refreshing not because this is a br...

Dawn of Discovery Published Date: Jun 29, 2009Anno 1404, or Dawn of Discovery as it is being marketed in North America, is a game that combines economic simulation, city-building and real-time strategy. This probably doesn’t sound overly exciting to gamers looking for the next Grizzled Space Marines in Space Part 7 twitch...

Zeno Clash Published Date: Apr 23, 2009Often the best works of fiction are nothing more than thinly veiled excuses to take a tour of a remarkable place which doesn’t really exist. Some worlds just beg to be explored. Part surreal frontier western, part Jim Henson’s darker leanings, the world of Zeno Clash is one of those place...
