Welcome to my blog. I talk about strategy games and more. Stay a while and check out my stuff. I'd be happy to hear from you.
A new video is out detailing the mechanics for espionage and spies in Total War: THREE KINGDOMS. Creative Assembly gives is a brief look at a playthrough with Cao Cao.
Into The Breach is a pretty challenging game, especially if you don’t know the fundamental approach to the battles. In this video, I breakdown exactly how you should think about each battle.
Beta 2 for Battlefleet Gothic: Armada 2 begins on January 15th, 2019 and it will feature a portion of the single payer campaign. If you’re still on the fence about it, they’ve released a new 6 minute plus trailer explaining the key features of the campaign… and oh boy.. it’s massive!
A new game from Valve is a rare thing. Which is why Arifact, received lots of pre-release attention. The new DOTA 2 digital card game from Valve designed by legendary CCG, Richard Garfield, was hailed are revolutionary by some, but now that it’s out, I take a look at the game and see if it lives up to he hype.
It wasn’t something I was expecting. Paradox Interactive has bought other studios before. They acquired BATTLETECH devs, Hairbrained Schemes and Age of Wonders 3 devs, Triumph Studios. But to acquire the IP and the only the game, that’s something new.
2018 was a pretty tough year for me. But it ended with me executing on an idea. That idea was Frags of War. A culmination of my experience managing a video game website for 8 years. Frags of War was me refining an idea. And it’s been great so far.
Steel Division 2 by Eugen Systems is moving to the Eastern Front and with the geographical move, it’s also bringing some very exciting changes to the mechanics of the game. Here’s some details regarding tactics in Steel Division 2.
I’ve always wanted a modern day take on the classic Rollercoaster Tycoon. Planet Coaster looked promising, but when it came out I realised it was focused on creation tools than being a theme park management game. I’ve been left disappointed. That is until Parkitect as released.
We’ve had tycoon games set in them parks, hospitals, and even zoos. But one that’s about aquariums? Megaquarium tasks you at building aquariums that are efficient and profitable. Here’s my review of it.
Stardock Games announced today that Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion will be getting a brand new DLC that comes out on December 17th, 2018. The Minor Factions DLC adds 15 new minor factions to the game.

Hello there fellow space emperors, the Megacorp DLC has been out for a couple of days now with patch 2.2. Stellaris is now in a lot of ways, a very different game with lots of new things. Trade being one of them.
An RTS set in the Conan universe was not what I was expecting but now that I think about it… it does make sense. Conan Unconquered isn’t your typical RTS. The press release makes it sound like it’s a tower defence game… which it thankfully isn’t.
It’s been a tactics heavy month and it seems like I’ve been jumping into one tactics game into another. But I promise there’s going to be a bit more variation soon. Achtung! Ctulhu Tactics is a turn-based tactics game based on the Achtung! Ctulhu RPG.
More details have emerged as Creative Assembly has just released part to their diplomacy gameplay reveal video for Total War: THREE KINGDOMS. Watch the video below for my thoughts on it…
Stellaris’s much anticipated DLC expansion, Megacorp goes live on December 6th, 2018 and it’s looking to be the biggest expansion and game changer to date.
Battlefleet Gothic: Armada was a pretty good game but flawed in parts. The sequel, Battlefleet Gothic: Armada 2 is building on the first game, refining it and making it a much bigger experience.
