Thrilling real-time tactics game that stays true to the series' roots in a very satisfying way.

Hob is a charming action adventure that shows the journey is more important than the destination.

Extremely demanding, extremely intense. But to be a hardcore success, Insurgency: Sandstorm still needs optimization and bug fixing.

Quotation forthcoming.

No linear levels, no historical correctness. Medal of Honor: Airborne needs getting used to, but then it's World War fast food - easily digested, very entertaining and over much too soon.

The most beautiful landscapes, the most captivating sword fights and the most believable online world to date.

High Hell's refreshing honesty and unfamiliar naivete have kept me entertained for at least a few hours...A minimalist, very entertaining and action-packed low budget shooter with the right dose of chaos, humor and madness.

Wasteland 2 is like a granny. A bit shaky, and you have to understand that she comes from a different generation - but lovable and sometimes blessed with impressive age wisdom.
