Preview by Shaan J. I’ve never envied those developers who choose to take up the task of developing a ‘sports’ game. Don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong with sports games, but there’s an inherent sense of stagnation that plagues that genre, one that is most noticeable in franchises that rely…
Read MoreReview by Rob P. We need to talk about Matt. You know Matt, right? He’s our editor, and he plays games for a living. But I’m worried that he’s taking it too far. He’s already admitted to spending too much time with hardcore strategy games, and Distant Worlds: Universe might…
