Horizon Review By Adam Solo on February 18th, 2014 at 11:29 am Horizon is a new space 4X strategy game by L3O Interactive and Iceberg Interactive. Looks good on the surface with some nice new twists to the 4X formula, but how good is the gameplay? Category: Game Reviews 94 comments

Europa Universalis IV: Conquest of Paradise Review By Chris Salt on January 22nd, 2014 at 9:07 am Conquest of Paradise is an expansion pack to the historical grand strategy title Europa Universalis IV.

Europa Universalis IV Review By Chris Salt on November 1st, 2013 at 10:38 am Europa Universalis IV is a grand strategy game. While it might not call itself one, it most certainly is a 4X game, though it has shifted eXterminate to first in the order of Xs. So, but, is it a worthy successor to EU III?

Sid Meier’s Civilization 5: Brave New World Review By Adam Solo on September 6th, 2013 at 5:57 pm Roughly one year after Civ5:G&K's release, comes Brave New World, the second expansion pack to Civilization 5 with the promise to improve the "late-game" experience, where usually all past Civ games fell short Category: Game Reviews 29 comments

Eador: Masters of the Broken World Review By Keith Turner on August 9th, 2013 at 1:14 pm Eador: Masters of the Broken World is an innovative fantasy turn-based strategy game by Snowbird Games.

Buzz Aldrin’s Race Into Space Review By Chris Salt on July 19th, 2013 at 9:01 pm Buzz Aldrin's Race into Space is a space program simulator and strategy game. It was developed for the PC and was released in 1993. While that was a pretty long time ago, I feel that this overlooked gem can still bring some things to the table, Category: Game Reviews 15 comments

Endless Space: Disharmony and Re-Review By Keith Turner on July 9th, 2013 at 8:16 pm Endless Space: Disharmony is the first expansion of Endless Space.

StarDrive Review By Keith Turner on April 30th, 2013 at 12:04 pm If you're looking for Civilization in space, you're in the wrong place.

Starvoid Review By Andy Kannberg on November 12th, 2012 at 3:37 pm Starvoid can be enjoyable, but the biggest disappointment is the lack of players. Kind of killing in a multi-player only game isn't it ? Category: Game Reviews 7 comments

Elemental: Fallen Enchantress Review By Keith Turner on October 29th, 2012 at 4:36 pm I'd advise disappointed fans of its predecessor (Elemental: Master of Magic) to keep an open mind about Fallen Enchantress. It really is an enjoyable 4X fantasy game. Category: Game Reviews 25 comments

XCOM: Enemy Unknown Review By Adam Solo on October 20th, 2012 at 1:58 am XCOM: Enemy Unknown is an extremely addictive, gorgeous and fun game to play. It should live up to the expectations of the large majority of the X-COM hardcore fans and at the same time please newcomers. Category: Game Reviews 81 comments
