14 DAY TRIAL // Summer is astronomically upon us as well and we are still dealing with the aftermath of E3 2012 even as we are trying to find new and innovative ways of dealing with the heat that’s currently dominating Romania.
You can keep up with our Gamer Diary for Sins of a Solar Empire – Rebellion, the space-bound real-time strategy game from developer Ironclad Games and publisher Stardock.
You can also check out the Softpedia review for Quantum Conundrum, the puzzle game from the same creator who made the first Portal.
We also have a Quick Look for the recently released Pro Cycling Manager 2012, from developer Cyanide and publisher Focus Home Entertainment, and I followed that up with another Gamer Diary which recreates Le Tour de France in a virtual space.
