Review by Nick H. There are a lot of 4X strategy games out there, and most genre fans have a personal preference with regards to what they like playing. Mine are those with fantasy elements. Kings, dark lords, magic spells and fantastical creatures appeal to me greatly, and the sweeping…
Read MoreReview by Brad L. Flockers represents a lot of my PC gaming childhood; when I wasn’t playing the latest Sierra and LucasArts point-and-click adventures, I was playing Lemmings, Lemmings 2: The Tribes, and Worms a lot. With Flockers, Team 17 has flown in and basically given me the core mechanics…

Read MoreReview by Brad L. I’m not a big fan of mobile gaming as I often fail to be able to touch touch screens with the preciseness that many of the games on mobile platforms demand. To that end, I find I enjoy them much more when ported to a handheld…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. I have a confession to make: I had never played Minecraft before last week. All three of my kids have. My son, who is now fifteen, got his first account a few years ago and logged a ridiculous number of hours with it. And it’s not…
