Turba – The Verdict

Music makes the world go round, or so we’re told. It certainly seems to be an adage for many ‘casual’ games released on Steam lately, as we’ve seen with titles like Audiosurf and Beat Hazard using your music to create new gameplay experiences. Now Turba gets in on the act by combining music with the [...]

Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands – The Verdict

Most people think time is like a river, that it takes a team of workmen and an army of earthmoving vehicles to restructure, but I have seen the face of time and I can tell you they are wrong.

Singularity – The Verdict

I’ve decided against better judgment that I will make up a word in this review, keep an eye out for it. It’s very much needed as Singularity is quite a “mish-mash” game, but stick with me as it’s also quite wonderful. Raven have done most things right and only a couple of things wrong, keep [...]

Another franchise returns to its roots: Worms 2D back to the PC

Yay? After discovering that Worms doesn’t quite work in 3D – or at least that nobody really cared about it – Team 17 sat down and thought about perhaps making another 2D version of it. 49142 years passed, many developers grew beards. And then they made Leisure Suit Larry: Box Office Bust instead. Balls.

The Rise of Mac (and Linux) Gaming

If you try to talk to someone about Apple and games you will likely get a lot of blurb about how the iPhone is the best thing since sliced bread and is the true new way of playing games. It is extremely unlikely that they will say anything at all about games on Mac OSX.

Tidalis Coming Tomorrow

Tidalis is the latest title from Arcen Games and is due for release tomorrow. You may remember we interviewed Chris Park late last year about their last title, AI War (part one, part two.) Like AI War, Tidalis is a 2D game, but rather than being a spaced based game, this is an innovative puzzle [...]

FIFA 11 Will Look Good On PC

In the annual football battle on the consoles it has been a well established fact that the FIFA series has been trouncing Pro Evolution Soccer. On the PC it is another matter entirely, FIFA has the slightly better gameplay, but has been left with ageing PS2 graphics while PES has had the looks but lacked [...]

Preview – Commander: Conquest of the Americas

For those who remember,  I condemned Nitro Games’ East India Company to a watery grave. It was characterless, drab and unwieldy. I’ve had a little hands-on with it’s successor, Commander : Conquest of the Americas to see if it improves on Nitro’s attempt at the early modern trade sim.

Last Updated: 30 July 2010

Years ago my parents bought what was at the time a new PC, it came with a few freebies, one of the best was Battlezone a game which mixed first-person combat elements with base control and resource management normally found in real-time strategy games.
