Another great touch: there’s no online multiplayer shoehorned in unnecessarily. It’s the kind of just-one-more-turn strategy game that sticks to what it’s good at – a campaign and a freeplay mode – and that’s enough to have you playing until the early hours of the morning. I love it for...
Overall, XCOM is a massive and fantastic hit. It is a challenging, fun, endearing and wonderfully performed turn based strategy that should provide a benchmark for the genre in the coming years. I can only hope this is the beginning in the turn of tide towards a renaissance in strategy...
And this leaves me very conflicted about the game. On the one hand I love the message of Tokyo Jungle, as it managed to hit an emotional chord with me that very few games are capable of. But on the other I really, really did not enjoy the actual gameplay,...

But that’s just me. I like retro RPGs still, and plenty of other gamers our there are going to love this game. Just go in prepared for something that could become very frustrating.
That’s not to say there isn’t something special here already. Buried deep within the game lies a sense of adventure and exploration that is every bit as visionary as inspired as the original Legend of Zelda. Despite the story being fairly childish and generally making little to no sense, the...
I love these games. I had never played a Metal Gear game until earlier this year playing them now makes me want to go and play every game in the series. Both Sons of Liberty and Snake Eater deserved to be played, for both the story and the gameplay, but...
