Imagine if the next Brothers in Arms game was set in contemporary Ukraine and forbade the use of first- and third-person views. You’ve just pictured Drone Perspective, a low-headcount military RTT with a demo, a ‘coming soon’ ETA, and a…
You can split logs and de-husk coconuts with CMx1’s low-poly AP shells. As Team France proves in the twelfth turn of the fourteen-turn CM Olympics, they are also pretty useful for killing Panzers.
I breakfasted in the Balkans this morning courtesy of Wars Across The World’s latest DLC. Bulgaria 1913 translates the brief and complicated Second Balkan War into a dirt-cheap seventeen-turn digital board game. Halfway through my first playthrough, I’m simultaneously battling the…
Page Up, the key I crash-dive when I want to screengrab a Steam game, has seen an awful lot of action this week. Sea Power, an almost-upon-us naval wargame with brooding good looks, deep realism, but a disappointing attitude to…
ISS Simulator, a fetching freebie made by a Japanese outfit called SpaceData, is one brainstorming session and a few weeks of coding away from being one of Steam’s most unusual hidden object games.

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…
