Neptune’s Pride – Following the Trend

After hearing about Neptune’s Pride, the long-term, real-time, in-browser, multiplayer strategy game. Or as I like to call it LTRTIBMS game… I checked out the game at the official site and watched Tim in the play a little in the early days of his Empire.

Sword of the Stars 2: Release Fail

So last night was the launch of Sword of the Stars 2: Lords of Winter but in all the excitement I seemed to forget that Steam is a lazy, buggy, money grabbing heap of bollocks. Ok that’s not really fair, I mean it is, but on this particular occasion it is probably more the fault […]

Sword of the Stars: Looking Back, Moving Forward

In celebration of the release of Sword of the Stars II: Lords of Winter and our Epic SotS competition I’m going to give you a quick run-down of what made the first game the incredible, addictive and down right hard-as-nails work of gaming art it was. I’m a big fan of the series so I […]

A Game of Thrones: The Game

So… A Game of Thrones: Genesis… An RTS set in the Game of Thrones world (before the events of the first book). Colour me interested. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, The Song of Ice and Fire series by George R. R. Martin are among the best books I have ever read […]

Morning Your Lordship!

Wow, Stronghold… A game I haven’t even thought about since the original which is hidden waaay back in the mists of time. And suddenly I hear about Stronghold 3! I don’t know if anyone reading this played the original Stronghold, but it was fantastic, the graphics, the gameplay, everything, was brilliant. It remains one of […]
