6 months from now patches should fix the problems, but now it's a mess. There's a great game somewhere there, but don't even think about touching it now.
7.5 from GametunnelĪlternative reality cold-war based wargame from Massive Entertainment( their Ground Control and it's sequel got both 8.5 from GS) If you enjoy political simulations, want to understand more of the politics of that region, or are an educator, PeaceMaker is definitely worth looking at. War Front: Turning Point is a decidedly different take on the WWII real-time strategy game, complete with jetpack Nazis and freeze rays. 7.7 from Gametunnelīorn of Blood is a very good, though brutally challenging, expansion to the turn-based space strategy game Sword of the Stars.- 7.5 It plays rather like the X-Com games in pseudo-realtime, and like the X-Com games, it's good fun and I got quite thoroughly absorbed in it. Beautiful pixel artwork, frantic caffeinated music, and the sort of sense of humour they just don't understand in the US. The multiple difficulty settings along with varied maps and historical intrigue gives the game a lot of depth, and helped make it the first Risk-like game that I've ever really enjoyed.- 7.8 from Game TunnelĪh, now here is a game crafted with love. Theatre of War makes World War II real-time strategy seem fresh, with outstanding attention to detail and realistic battlefields.- 7.8ĭeveloper Last Day of Work managed to create a challenging, fun experience for anyone looking for a casual game to play off and on, or over a long period of time.- 8.0 from GameTunnel Chess and Close Combat are among them.- 7.8 from PC Zone UK Some games just don't seem to get tired with age. Sure, the emphasis on tactics and cover etc make it slower than today's bells-and-whistles RTSs, but the time you get to think makes it one of the cleverest. This great new expansion offers a significant amount of new content for veteran Medieval II players.- 8.0 8.7īeyond the Sword is a great expansion pack with a lot to offer for Civ fans.- 8.5 Supreme Commander delivers a deep and impressive strategy-gaming experience. It's as deep and broad as you would expect from such a big strategy game, but Europa Universalis III's most notable achievement is how easy it is to get into-and how difficult it is to tear yourself away.- 8.7 The new features in Dark Avatar elevate the already superb Galactic Civilizations II to the title of undisputed best turn-based space strategy game on the PC.
