It's hard to ignore the need for a little extra TLC to smooth out the edges, but the fundamentals of an arresting tactics-and-strategy game about building a criminal empire are in place.
Age of Wonders III
Since I never played the earlier games, I can’t make the call as to whether or not this game was worth waiting 11 years for. Saying that, I’ve been waiting since I saw the game at GamesCom last year to get my hands on it, and it was definitely worth...
Luftrausers
There is a thought that this is something which, once upon a time, you could have played on your browser for free. It’s not that I want to detract from the fact that the creators deserve money for their work here, but sometimes one can’t help stop and realise how...
Total War: Rome II
The new engine is stunning. When you do manage to get a decent battle going, it is a bit of a visual treat.
Europa Universalis IV
So, Paradox have done it again – learning from the design of Crusader Kings II, Europa Universalis is an excellent starting foundation. From here, we hope the game receives the content and support that CKII got, and we can’t wait to see what else they can do with the game....
Cities in Motion 2
There’s no reason you can’t jump into CiM2 now: there’s still a deep, detail-orientated game for you to sink your teeth into, and micro-managers will love the amount of tweaking and fine tuning options you can make to individual lines. Once you get into the right frame of mind, there’s...
Hitman: Absolution
So, Hitman: Absolution then. IO would maintain until the day they die at the hands of a hitman that it’s a game full of choices. On one level that’s true, but if some choices are really choices that no sane person (or someone wanting to do things ‘properly’) then is...
Borderlands 2
Say what you want about the original Borderlands, it sold enough to bring us another one – for the most part the second game has fixed or improved the things about the original game that let it down. Beyond that though, this is one funny, entertaining game that should hopefully...
Minecraft
To those who already know what Minecraft is, then the 360 version may seem a bit bare, but then this version isn’t really for you. 4J Studios’ adaptation fits in perfectly with the Arcade theme, and we hope there’s framework in place to slowly add in content and features, much...
So, not a hell of a lot of difference between the two versions aside from what we’ve mentioned already. Really, it’s down to what you really feel like playing it on: if you’re not too fussed about the visuals, then a console version may be a good shout as you’ll...
