In addition to a choreographable Coral Sea clash between taskforces linchpinned by the Lexington and Yorktown, and Shokaku and Zuikaku, the due-out-early-next-week Task Force Admiral demo includes an Easter egg the size of a Pratt & Whitney Double Wasp. Courtesy…
As Advance Wars’ fictional setting and bland title didn’t seem to handicap it commercially, I guess there’s no reason why Rogue Conflict’s should. That said, I can’t shake the feeling that this demo-blessed upcoming wargame would have benefited from a…
Pay no heed to curstking, Brumes Wolf, and GenXGamer, the three people who’ve Steam reviewed the Platoon Commander demo so far*. While this available-since-Monday trial currently has more rough edges than a gritstone rhombhectotriadiohedron, it’s also the closest thing to…

Imagine Door Kickers and SWAT 4 colliding in a gloomy tenement hallway, and after realising that their tac vests were hopelessly entangled, pressing on regardless. Imagine a sad fox playing a violin while drifting towards the lip of a waterfall…
If plotting the demise of distractible Deutschlanders floats your Schwimmwagen, an already great year is about to get even better. In a couple of hour’s time, 63 Days, the Warsaw Uprising-themed sequel to War Mongrels, sidles onto Steam.
MicroProse’s last ocean-going release was a bit of a stinker. Their next, however, looks awesome.
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…
