News by Matt S. FINALLY! As much as we love Civilization (and we really, really do), strategy fans have been waiting for ages and ages for Firaxis to head back to the stars… the same place that served as inspiration for the truly awesome Alpha Centurai. And so I think…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. Without a doubt in my mind, NBA 2K14 is the best sports game I have played this year. Of course, everyone’s mileage with sports titles generally boils down to what they think of the sport in question, and while 2K has a great engine in place…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. The only criticism I could possibly come up with with the original Ace Patrol game was that its free-to-play structure was a little expensive and didn’t really gel with the serious strategy game structure. So the fact that Pacific Skies is content to charge a small…

Read MoreI think it’s safe to say that Bioshock Infinite is a highly-anticipated release. So rather than waste words when all you want to see is the pretty lights, here’s a new trailer for you. Spoiler: it’s pretty.…
Read MoreAfter a couple of hours with NBA 2K13 I realised how little I know about basketball. Here in Australia it’s not exactly a sport that people watch on TV. With minimal experience in watching the sport, I haven’t been able to passively pick up the complex strategies and properly understand…
