Review by Pierre-Yves L. The SpellForce series has always been an interesting one. On one hand you have an RPG adventure with quests and exploration, while on the other you have and RTS. Using elements of both, this series has provided unique challenges as your party can level up and…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Of all the franchises that EA has utterly destroyed (and sadly there are a number of them), two really stand out; Magic Carpet, a Bullfrog game that EA apparently never saw value in after it acquired the developer, and Dungeon Keeper, another Bullfrog game, which judging…
Read MoreRetro by Matt S. Given that I’ve already written three articles about strategy games this week, I figured I might as well continue the theme going, and take a look back at a real time strategy game that would be just about forgotten to history, but I remember it so…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. It wasn’t so long ago that it would have been completely unthinkable to put a game like Sudden Strike 4 on console. The conventional wisdom was that there was no way a game controller could possibly do an adequate job with the RTS genre, particularly those…

Read MoreRetro Reflections by Matt S. Back in 2001, when the first The Lord of the Rings film was released to cinemas, the world got hit with a new wave of complete love and fascination for J.R.R. Tolkien and his brilliant, important, fantasy masterpiece. Suddenly people were re-discovering the books all…
Read MoreReview by Brad L. Halo Wars was an experiment in expanding upon a universe entirely viewed in first person. Though Bungie originally wanted Halo to be a real time strategy, some could argue that Microsoft caught lightning in a bottle when the company convinced Bungie to shift the focus over…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. I’ve always felt that Worms Forts: Under Siege was a game that deserved to be remembered better than it has been. Or just remembered at all. One of the most unheralded games ever in Team 17’s particular franchise, I never thought we’d see a game quite…
