Review: World Supremacy (PC)

//

World Supremacy is a strange beast. It somehow tries to sneak casual, light strategic action into a hardcore wargame package. I’m not entirely convinced it works, but I personally found it a lot of fun. Control the world, Risk-style See, on the surface, it’s not even close to being accessible.…

//

Hard8 is not going to be remembered as a ‘killer app’ on the iPhone; it’s an indie puzzle game on a format that has far too many puzzle games. Which is unfortunate, because for those five minute down times, Hard8 is much more fun than it has any right to…
