With the arrival of the 20th century, I can sometimes get a bit bored in Civilization V. It continues to engage me enough so that I power through to achieve whatever victory path I had chosen, but therein lies the issue. I en...

Following the huge success of last year's XCOM: Enemy Unknown comes The Bureau: XCOM Declassified, the latest entry to the now revitalized franchise. Developer 2K Marin is bringing us an origin story set at the start of the a...

Simulation fans have had quite a storied history of games to choose from. While the genre may seem homogenized to outside viewers, sim-nuts can't get enough of the technical nuances of each title, and although they may look s...

When I got a chance to play Telepath Tactics at PAX East last month, I got a pretty good idea of how the game plays. What I didn't get the opportunity to so was mess around with the map editor, a large part of what makes Tele...

Games like Eador: Masters of the Broken World are extremely bad for my health. Considering my tobacco and alcohol consumption, it's not a stretch to say I have something of an addictive personality. Thankfully, I live in Scot...

When the co-founder of Ragtag Studio, Chris Cobb, told me that Ray's the Dead was Pikmin with zombies, I was just about ready to hand over my wallet. I'm not even a huge fan of Pikmin, but for whatever reason this idea perked...

I always told myself that if I knew how to make videogames, I'd make a strategy RPG in the vein of Fire Emblem or Shining Force. I grew up playing games like those and always love to see more like them. Well, it looks like I ...

While Castle Story grabbed my attention because of its bright, colorful art style, I kept playing because of its addictive sandbox gameplay. It's a free-form building strategy game, where the goal is to build a fortress and d...

Anomaly: Warzone Earth had one of those experimental ideas -- controlling the troops that rush past towers rather than the defensive structures themselves -- that turned out to be really cool in practice. I don't know for cer...

Pioneers was chosen as IndieDB's "best indie of 2012," and after spending some time playing it, I can see why. The classic graphics are inspired by old-school Apple or Atari, and while they only use four colors, it...

I've been designing some prisons recently. Well, I can scratch another item of my list of sentences I never expected to utter. I've been running them, too. Actually, facilitating the running of them, more often than not. I su...

I'm such a big fan of nautical combat that I continued to play Assassin's Creed III -- a game that bored me beyond belief within the first two hours -- just for the ship missions. So when Leviathan: Warships was announced jus...

Impire had been on my radar for a little while before I finally got a chance to play it just over a week ago. The tone, setting, and genre brought back fond memories of Bullfrog's Dungeon Keeper titles, and that's more t...

I can't say I was particularly sold on March of the Eagles -- Paradox Development Studio's latest grand strategy endeavor -- after playing with the beta build I received a couple of months ago. At first I thought I might rath...
