Over G Fighters Over G Fighters

The planet is on the verge of becoming one nation, marking the end to bloody wars and also signalling the first tentative move toward a single, unified world state. However militant groups are rising up against the path of peace and progress, and chaos is spreading …

Civilization 4: Warlord Civilization 4: Warlord

We’re all well aware that the Civilization series has caused more than a few relationships to break down, tests to go unstudied for, and a hell of a lot of lost working hours after a late night trying to conquer the globe. It’s right up there with the very best – even riv …

Dungeon Siege II: Broken World Dungeon Siege II: Broken World

In 2002, when I began playing the original Dungeon Siege I remember thinking to myself, “here we go again, another Diablo II wannabe”. Mostly, I was right. I mean the graphics were obviously better and gas powered games added some nice little features, but its core …

Painkiller: Hell Wars Painkiller: Hell Wars

As a newcomer to Painkiller: Hell Wars, I was certainly oblivious on what to expect. Will this be an entirely new type of FPS? Will it be a lackluster title ripping apart my time minute by minute?

Prey Prey

The PC has been, in the opinion of many gamers, the platform on which to best play first-person shooters. More customization, more accurate control schemes, and tons of graphics options can certainly make for a better experience than anything found on consoles. …

Glory of the Roman Empire Glory of the Roman Empire

When I first started Glory of the Roman Empire, I opened its options screen out of sheer habit.  In addition to the usual video and audio options were two checkboxes: “Display all in-game text in Latin” and “Voiceovers in Latin.”
I clicked them both, and sure enough …

Earache Extreme Metal Racing Earache Extreme Metal Racing

Napalm Death is a band that doesn’t sing, or even shout their lyrics; it’s more a case of screaming them over a wall of noise until their tonsils bleed. This makes for some perfect adrenaline accelerating race game music, as do the other Earache record label bands Ex …
