Knights of the Temple: Infernal Crusade
Sunday, February 3, 2019
If you’ve ever heard of StarBreeze Studios, you might have played their previous game at some point – Enclave. It was a great looking action adventure with some fantastic animations, texture work and a simplified RPG framework. The game itself, unfortunately, played terribly, with uninteresting melee fights and completely forgettable puzzles. A couple of years […]

JRR Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings Vol. I
Saturday, February 2, 2019
With so many games based on the movie adaptation of LOTR, it’s downright bizarre to play one inspired solely by the books. In a way you can have something that is more authentic, as it’s not being influenced by the epic visuals of the cinematic trilogy. This is probably why you could give J.R.R. Tolkien’s […]

Seal of Evil
Saturday, February 2, 2019
Hack ‘n’ slash during the Zhou Dynasty. Seal of Evil is a Diablo-esque take on Ancient China which bears a stronger focus on pure action and also a fair bit of fantasy (magical spells, wise elders, skimpy mage girls, etc). The visual isometric style is almost a carbon copy of Diablo, though this isn’t really […]

Catwoman
Saturday, February 2, 2019
It’s hard to fully appreciate how terrible the film version of Catwoman really was. The only conceivable benefit derived from its awfulness was that it served as indirect comedy, or a nice way to list everything that should not happen in an action movie. It’s only fitting, then, that such a terrible movie would have […]

Combat Mission 3: Afrika Korps
Friday, February 1, 2019
Like a Panzer division roaring into a sleepy crossroads town, Combat Mission: Beyond Overlord shook wargaming. Developed and published in 2000 by the pairing of Big Time Software and Battlefront, it melded turn-based and real-time action, strategic challenge and gripping drama, but with a tinge of easy access that made the thing playable by novice […]

Sid Meier’s Railroads!
Friday, February 1, 2019
For anyone new, think Railroads! as a modern remake of Railroad Tycoon 2, but with 3D graphics, a more user friendly interface, and a simplified stock market. You’re once again tasked with creating a railroad empire in various parts of the world, often competing against rival companies, in Europe and North America. The robust single-player […]

Uru: Ages Beyond Myst
Friday, February 1, 2019
A forgotten and surprisingly pleasant voyage for Myst fans. In the pre-Sims world, Myst was the game that captured the imagination of the masses only to be universally reviled and misunderstood by the hardcore. Deriding it as a slideshow game, people missed the point entirely; it remains one of the deepest and most involving gaming […]

Castrol Honda Superbike World Champions
Thursday, January 31, 2019
The focus of Superbike Champions is the Honda RC45, a fast and agile racing bike. Unlike more hardcore sims, Superbike Champions eases you into the game with some key features. Braking assistance will gently slow you down as you approach curves, and the steering assistance will practically drive the course for you. Another nice feature […]

Castrol Honda Superbike 2000
Wednesday, January 30, 2019
Castrol Honda Superbike 2000 is a mix of sim and arcade, sporting authentic licensing and above average graphics. The tracks in Castrol 2000 are very well done as well, and constitute the main high point of the game. The rendering of Monaco and Lagua-Seca are some of the best ever. They are detailed, expansive and […]

Sven Bomwollen
Wednesday, January 30, 2019
The complexity of sheep shagging. Sven is a black lamb (a guy-sheep) with a raging boner. His only wish is to go and merrily smash every sheep around him, but he also has to be careful. The sheep dog and herder are constantly lingering about, and Sven has to time his romantic escapades quickly or […]
