While I can’t tell you whether Pure Rock Crawling’s depiction of rock crawling is superior to BeamNG.drive’s and Expeditions’, I’m hoping at least one THC reader has the necessary expertise and time to answer this question via a comment. What…
I don’t know anyone better equipped to assay Unity of Command 2’s last expansion pack than THC’s man in Lithuania. As Martynas Klimas has spent around 220 hours cheek by jowl with 2×2’s hexy masterpiece, his take on this “fitting…
A skillful ringer can communicate pretty subtle things with the THC scramble bell. For instance, the combination of clangs, bongs, and ting-tings that’s currently cacophonising the Corner tells me that Scramble: Battle of Britain is Early Accessible at long last,…
Not everyone in the games industry is quite as positive about Creative Europe’s game development hand-outs as the three grant beneficiaries whose views I shared in Thoughts of the Thankful. It would be remiss of me not to give you…
I might as well get my main Commandos: Origins criticisms in early (Playing games before castigating them is so passé). I miss inventories and Lupin the Thief more than I thought I would, and I wish Claymore Game Studios had…
What in heaven’s name do they teach them at Bovington these days? The British Crusader gets three chances to pot the PSW in Turn 10 and fluffs all of them.

I was raised in a region of Britain with a long tradition of commercial bobbin lacemaking. In her spare time my mother made intricate lace on a domed pillow fringed with beaded bobbins and festooned with brass pins, and in…
This toptal.com page about Leonardo Massaroli fails to mention one important fact about the Argentinian developer. He’s a wargamer. Leo has recently unveiled a web-based multiplayer-only prototype of a work-in-progress called Lines of Battle: Waterloo, and, a few hours ago,…
Is Battlefield Commander WWII destined to be the latest in a long line of RTTs that tries and fails to combine Close Combat’s realism, accessibility, and gift for drama, with 3D graphics and a lithe camera? After two hours with…
