It looks like Tom ‘Gunpoint’ Francis may have another smash hit on his hands. Most of the big games sites have heaped praise on the out-today Tactical Breach Wizards, and having just spent an hour with its demo, their enthusiasm is easy to understand.
A wise City Bus Manager player keen to found a profitable omnibus company on the peaceful, car-free Channel Island of Sark would start by building a depot on its bigger, more densely populated neighbour – Guernsey.
