Gears is about to look a lot different. Specifically, overhead instead of behind the shoulder. Splash Damage's Gears of War spin-off is set to launch next spring. Gears Tactics is a turn-based strategy game rather than a third-pe...

I can't let us tumble into 2020 without remembering Anno 1800 – especially while it's temporarily free. Ubisoft is hosting a free-play event from December 11 at 5:00am PT to December 18 at 9:00am PT. During that time, the free version...

When I think of winter gaming, I think of video games with a propensity for eating whole afternoons like it's no big deal. Management titles, sims, strategy games – you know the kind. Once you get in there and untangle their inner wor...

It's a little bit Earth Defense Force, a little bit Command & Conquer, and a little bit schlocky 90s cinema. There are a billion bugs, and you're going to exterminate them all. Starship Troopers is being adapted into a real-time s...

It feels like SD Gundam G Generation Genesis is forgotten sometimes. While it wasn’t the first of Namco’s licensed games to be translated in English for the Asia region – that honor goes to Gundam Breaker 3 and Super Robot...

While the quality of Gundam games has wildly varied this console generation, they have been consistent over one particular detail. All of them have had free content in some form, regardless of whether they also had paid DLC or microtransact...

Bad North, a stripped-down strategy roguelite title about fending off Vikings, is free right now on the Epic Games Store. If you nab the game before the November 29 deadline, it's yours to keep. The PC version launched one year ago, so cons...

My first foray into the CRPG genre was the original Fallout. Yes, the Bethesda-era debut was called Fallout 3 for a reason, as Interplay and Black Isle Studios had been working their magic alongside of industry titans like (o...

If you follow me on Twitter, you know I'm crazy about this series. So it's my extreme pleasure to bring you folks a giveaway for Slothwerks new game: Meteorfall: Krumit's Tale. It's even more so my pleasure, to say that this one is just as ...

Hot off the heels of releasing a demo for the game, Bandai Namco has released a new trailer for SD Gundam G Generation Cross Rays. Not only does the trailer show off footage for the first wave of DLC, but also revealed what would be in the ...

As the international launch for the PC version of SD Gundam G Generation Cross Rays grows closer, it's easy to forget that the game is also releasing on PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch. Despite these ports only being released in Asia, the...

Fire Emblem: Three Houses is a massive game, and there's no shortage of things Nintendo can tweak, add or take away. Although major updates have been few and far between (just July and September so far), this new November update is a d...

The Steam edition of Sega's tactical RPG Valkyria Chronicles 4 has been updated and is now Valkyria Chronicles 4: Complete Edition. All previously released DLC is now included in the purchase and, best of all, everyone who has already purch...

All too often in game development (or film, for that matter, RIP old Dr. Who episodes), you hear about "lost" archival masters. It's why I'm so into preservation: you hate to see it. Well thankfully Blizzard pretty much keeps everythin...

During today's BlizzCon 2019 opening ceremony, the publisher didn't have a whole lot of news for fans of tactical strategy title StarCraft II. But it did reveal the next co-op commander preparing for intergalactic battle, and its none other...

In a surprise turn of events, the PC version of SD Gundam G Generation Cross Rays is now listed on Steam to be released internationally. Accompanied by a revised trailer indicating a rating is inbound from the ESRB, the new Steam page revea...

While air strikes and naval embargoes are the bread that hold a war effort together, wars are won with boots on the ground. But what do you do when the only boots allowed in an area are that of your enemy? That is where spies and resistanc...

I think I'd be well within my rights to say that Crusader Kings II is Paradox's most popular grand strategy. While it wasn't the first game to use the Clausewitz engine, it was decidedly less complex than Victoria II for new players. Also,...

BattleTech was originally released as a reboot of sorts to the classic tabletop game, which in turn inspired the MechCommander and MechAssault video games. The digital adaptation has been met with both critical and fan appeal and now,...

It's been a few months since Age of Wonders: Planetfall released with a brand new galaxy for strategy fans to devour. If the massive base game wasn't enough for you then Triumph has you covered with a new batch of content for their sci-fi ...

There's a helluva lot of video game conventions taking place this weekend - most of them with an "X" in the name - and PDXCON 2019 is no exception. Paradox Interactive's annual trade show will be showing off the latest builds on titles such...

Bandai Namco has released what is likely the final major trailer for the upcoming SD Gundam G Generation Cross Rays. Coming in at a staggering 30 minute run time, the preview gives a comprehensive look at what story events we can expect wit...

Wargroove is kind of a fan-favorite strategy game at Destructoid, mixing old and new school strategy design while letting us live in a fantasy-oriented Advance Wars follow-up fever dream that Nintendo just isn't interested in giving us (yet...

Licensed tie-in games used to be a dime a dozen before the age of mobile gaming. It seemed like every time a gigantic blockbuster film was coming out, there was a publisher releasing a hastily thrown together title to coincide with the film...

While the rest of the Gundam fanbase celebrates the international launch of Battle Operation 2, fans in Asia and importers are waiting for the arrival of SD Gundam G Generation Cross Rays. As the release date slowly approaches, Bandai Namco...
