Immersive games are far and between on the Linux platform. Fortunately for us, Battle of Wesnoth is a jewel and not too many people know what a great game they could be playing right now. Maybe it's not the best looking game out there, but it is probably one of the most interesting and captivating games that can... |

Touted as the spiritual sequel to the hit "Five Minutes to Kill (Yourself)" game, the TBS-developed ‘5 Minutes to Kill (Yourself) Wedding Day’ app is now available on the iTunes App Store.
Rated 17 for its crude humor, the app’s description says “Your drunken stupor resulted in an accepted ... |

One of the 2009 games I am most interested in is Empire: Total War, the latest entry into the long running series made by Creative Assembly. Ever since the first game they launched, Shogun, the developers have managed to create a mix of turn based and real time strategy, of big battles and strategy, which appeals to ... |

The trade wagon slowly moves across the plain, bringing the gift of drunkenness to the unsuspecting Indian inhabitants of Machu Pichu. At the same time, a caravel is loading up its cargo with coats and furs ready to sail to Europe to sell them for a good price, even if the taxes set by our Dutch overlords are w... |

After my first hour with Colonization (yap, the old one from the Stone Age of videogaming), I wanted to play a bit more. Nostalgia and my turn based strategy addiction spurred me on to play until I could declare independence.16:00. The problem is that this game, even though it looks tiny, takes time. In another hour ... |

Colonization is one of the earliest games made by Sid Meier and one of the first turn based strategies that I played way back when I was starting to be interested in videogames. The title never got as much attention or publicity as its bigger brother, Civilization, but thanks to the success of the latter, Colonizatio... |

Turn-based strategies are not exactly best sellers, but well-done ones definitely manage to skyrocket and make a handful of people very happy. Such is probably the case with Elven Legacy, a TBS game under development at 1C:Ino-Co, set for release sometime in the first quarter of 2009 for PC systems.Elven Legacy promi... |

Two weeks ago I was writing about the death of the point-and-click adventures, now I'm posting about another dying genre - the fantasy turn-based strategy one. Unlike the adventure games, TBS titles were never very popular, even though some of the most hardcore strategy fans are still surrounded by their hexagon... |

When a second expansion for a game is announced, it might be time to tell the developers they're pushing the limit of what's acceptable. Usually expansions mean more levels, same gameplay, more movies and less entertainment for the player. Well, that's certainly not the case with Twilight of the Arnor,... |

First of all, for some time now, the game we're talking about is called Hired Guns: The Jagged Edge, it was before called Jazz: Hired Guns Mercenaries and it actually is (or it should be) nothing but Jagged Alliance 3. The good news is that the Russian developers GFI are still working on the project. The bad new... |

Basically most of the games have the potential to be "ported" into any other genre, even though it has nothing to do with the original. Now, I would never dare to say that a Sims first person shooter would be coming and it would probably be a bad idea, anyway. Still, another apparently crazy idea will now be brought ... |

Fantasy Wars is a turn based battle strategy game developed for the PC by Ascaron Entertainment. There are two big factions involved in these fantasy wars - the Orcs and the Humans (no, it's not like World of Warcraft 2 or 3 gets a remake), which means that any player can choose between brute strength and size o... |

Out of nowhere we'll get from Ubisoft a massively multiplayer online game built in the Might and Magic world. Yes, you've heard it right! The turn based strategy is turning into a MMO starting Spring 2008. The conservative players, however, shouldn't be disappointed - the series will continue to expand... |

One of the possible winning conditions in Sid Meir’s Civilization series is the launch of a shuttle to another galaxy (the closest – Proxima Centauri). This is just about where Stardock takes up and continues to spread the human influence across the Universe. Friend or foe, many alien races cross your way. In Galacti... |
