  • Supreme Commander 2
    Published Date: Mar 11, 2010

    The 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...

  • Spore
    Published Date: Oct 21, 2008

    To be honest, this is as pointless an argument as using Spore as proof of Creationism. Spore is the natural progression of Spore Creatures, gives Sporians (some language evolution to depict the Spore fans) the chance to share and talk about their designs and has received ...

  • S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Clear Sky
    Published Date: Oct 3, 2008

    As a title, S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Clear Sky presents an interesting challenge for the reviewer. The game tries to be many things, succeeding at some while falling well short of the mark in other areas. Are glaring flaws to be overlooked in recognition of genuine ambition, even occasional moments of ...

  • Space Siege
    Published Date: Aug 31, 2008

    For the purpose of argument, let’s say you’re a game developer. Now, admittedly I don’t know much about the development side of things, but I’ll assume it’s a little like being a games journalist. With that in mind, here’s a hypothetical for you to think over: Between polishing your soli...

  • Sins of a Solar Empire
    Published Date: Apr 8, 2008

    As Douglas Adams once wrote, “space is big”. Just how big? Really, really big, a fact which is often sadly neglected or unsatisfactorily faked by game designers. While fun, Freelancer felt more like driving on an invisible road between soccer ball-sized celestial bodies than exploring a limitles...

  • S.T.A.L.K.E.R Shadow of Chernobyl
    Published Date: Jul 23, 2007

    It’s taken a lot more time to make it to our PCs than originally planned, but after running S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Shadow of Chernobyl through its paces, we’ve got plenty of good things to say about it. Some of the delay for the game has been as a result of some adventurous approaches to the gameplay...

  • Scarface: The World is Yours
    Published Date: Apr 4, 2007

    Games based on movies, and movies based on games, are traditionally poor fare. Yes, yes, yes, there are a few exceptions to the rule (The Godfather isn’t bad at all), but generally, it’s true. Each normally depends on the other as its selling point, moving units because of a reputation as oppo...

  • Supreme Commander
    Published Date: Mar 28, 2007

    A decade ago, the world of gaming was changed forever when a title called Total Annihilation was released. This groundbreaking game saw the first introduction of 3D graphics, and the industry has never looked back since. The man behind the TA series was Chris Taylor, and Supreme Commander is his s...
