Astreix & Obelix
Monday, January 21, 2019
Astreix & Obelix is a platform game where one player can choose to control either Asterix or Obelix. The mission of the two Gauls is to acquire artifacts from all across Europe. It’s obviously based on the popular French cartoon that depicts Roman Gaul, copying the same style and humor. The cool thing is you […]

SuperPower
Sunday, January 20, 2019
The idea of a geo-political strategy game is an engaging one. You have a broad, complex simulation where you, as head of state, have to contend with a myriad of different variables. See, SuperPower lets you take control of any nation on the planet, and you’re responsible for its politics, economy, and military. Your aim […]

Mortal Coil
Sunday, January 20, 2019
You can gracefully chuck Mortal Coil into the heap of forgotten 90s shooters. It’s a first-person sci-fi game with an odd team-based element that’s more gimmick than anything. You can give waypoints and command fellow team-mates around, but mostly they just tag along and frequently get in your way when you’re trying to shoot. Squad […]

Wolfenstein 3D: Spear of Destiny
Sunday, January 20, 2019
Spear of Destiny, an add-on pack for the original Wolfenstein 3D (standalone, doesn’t require the old game), was id’s final encore before moving on to the much more advanced Doom one year later. Granted, Spear of Destiny was more of a sideshow than a fully fleshed out game, so it plays like any mission pack. […]

Saga: Rage of the Vikings
Saturday, January 19, 2019
Set in the days when men wore skirts, grew lengthy beards and were judged by the size of their horns (on their helmets), SAGA: Rage Of The Vikings is a moderately entertaining if somewhat uninspired real-time strategy game that should appeal to fans of Age Of Empires, Warcraft II and Civilization. Graphically it’s not up […]

Down in Flames
Saturday, January 19, 2019
Down in Flames is a very niche-oriented game that plays like a tabletop. It’s actually based on a famous board game design, and is specifically tailored for die-hard wargamers. It plays almost like a card game, but with added animations and a colorful interface. The genius of the design lies in how a few simple […]

Resurrection
Saturday, January 19, 2019
Of foreign import, Resurrection is an effort to emulate many fighting action-adventures such as Severance or Rune. Unfortunately, there’s a reason you might have heard about Severence and Rune but not Resurrection. It has all of the half-assed mistakes and poor design common with games created by ambitious but amateur upstarts. It’s half adventure and […]

Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory
Friday, January 18, 2019
It’s fun to play in the dark. Sam Fisher has a new knife in Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory. It’s one of those Ginsu-like monsters that villains flash to look menacing in action movies, with an edge that’s sharp enough to cut moonlight and a blade so long that the super-commando could stick it through a […]

Ark of Time
Friday, January 18, 2019
There have been a great many adventure games based on ancient civilizations. Timelapse, Atlantis: The Lost Tales, SPQR and Riddle of the Sphinx: An Egyptian Adventure were some. Ark of Time follows the same path, but it’s a third-person point and click game and not a pseudo-3D Myst clone. You play as journalist Richard, who […]

Desert Rats vs. Afrika Korps
Thursday, January 17, 2019
This real-time strategy game is based on the North African battles of World War II. The action begins in March 1941, with Axis forces headed by the legendary Erwin Rommel almost pushing the British to Egypt, followed by the calculated British counterattack that resulted in a massive German retreat and the eventual capture of hundreds […]
