You’ve had your chance, SubwaySim 2. Although you come with nicely modelled EMUs, attractive ribbons of Hamburg and Berlin, a replay-friendly timetable mode, imaginative scenarios, and exemplary tutorials, because I can’t seem to get you to run smoothly and look decent simultaneously, there’s a good chance you’ll be gone from my HD by the end of the week.
What a lovely way to start the day. I’ve just landed my largest bream yet in agreeably atmospheric angling sim, Fisher Online. Recommended to me by cederic, a Cornerite who’s spent over 190 hours playing it, £12 FO has some characteristics I don’t much care for (see on), but does an absolutely splendid job of bringing the outdoors indoors.
Using the following clues (the map above is purely decorative) in combination with Street View, work out my location.
Three of my favourite Tank Squad moments so far. Moment 1. I’m advancing towards a seemingly neutralised Soviet position in a lone Panzer IV. There’s an HE round up the spout in case of unpleasant surprises. A short distance from the position, my tank turns a corner and comes face to face with a lurking 76mm AT gun. The ZiS strikes first, disabling my turret and main gun. When I discover the coax MG is also kaput, I realise I’ve got two options, neither of which are particularly attractive.
This week’s handmade co-op puzzle won’t defox itself. If you’re a whizz at quizzes, lateral thinking, and search engine sleuthing, why not lend a hand.
Five years ago today, Early Access Armoured Commander 2 hit Steam. Part-time developer, full -time academic, Gregory Adam Scott promised “over a year of planned additions and updates” in his first post-launch communique. What he and his customers didn’t know back then was that enhancements and expansions would still be arriving in 2025. In the following interview, Gregory explains why AC2 fans have had it so good for so long, and drops some intriguing hints about his next project.
Too eager to please and blighted by buggy reflections, so-so scenery, and flawed cameras, Ultimate Fishing Simulator 2’s stay on the THC toe-warmer was mayfly brief. Within ninety minutes of making my first cast, I’d had enough and was reinstalling its superior predecessor.
Tank Squad missions can be pretty intense. When you’re not scanning scenery for dialed-in AT guns, trading AP rounds with T-34s and KV-1s, or attempting to evade mortar barrages, you’re often dealing with aggressive enemy infantry, directing your own dismounts, or calling in arty and air strikes. It’s generally great fun, but I think I’m going to need to partner TS with a good wind-down game in order to keep ersatz battle fatigue at bay.
