I didn’t know the game was already out when I downloaded the demo. But I don’t own the full game yet, and I have completed the dang thing, so here’s a short review of Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon demo!

Dagger Directive demo in 7 screenshots!

“I have a confession to make,” I say youtuberishly. I have never really played Delta Force. I played some Land Warrior, the marketing vehicle for OICW, and I don’t think they got any good titles after that. But I believe that Dagger Directive demo is proof of a successor coming, one that doesn’t feature any extraction shooter features.

Burden of Command review | Secret recipes for morale and such

Most games won’t tell you this, but military leadership isn’t about your APM and micro skills. In fact, it’s almost completely about other stuff. It’s about inspiring the weary, comforting the dying, sorting out supply and filling paperwork as well as deploying your troops in a sensible manner to defeat the challenge at hand. Burden of Command depicts this struggle in authentic and sensible detail. Take that, Garry Grigsby’s War in the East – nobody ever told me why that game needs to simulate the rate of fire for KV-1’s rearward machinegun.

Field of Glory: Kingdoms review | Medieval Better War

It was around turn 360 that my spirit to go on gave out. By that time, I had expanded Scotland to cover, directly or via vassals, the entire British isles. The Kentish kingdom, the sole remnant on England, was holed up in Scandinavia, which I was invading for the third time. Scottish possessions in the Med counted Malta, the Balearics, North Italy, parts of Libya and Egypt. The ride there had been long and fairly fun. Thanks, Field of Glory: Kingdoms

Cyberpunk 2077 review | Blunt-edge

I finally did it! I finished Cyberpunk 2077 (and the Phantom Liberty DLC). I have slain the beast! And now, years and years after the game has been released, patched into playability, memed, dissected, discussed, and modded, I can present my review!

Songs of Silence review | Automatic WarCraft

Sound of Freedom, the 2023 pedo-hunter movie for QAnon freaks? Bad. Sound of Silence, the 1964 Simon and Garfunkel song? Much better. Songs of Silence, the 2024 fantasy TBS/autobattler? Now we’re cooking with gas!

Unity of Command II: Berlin DLC review – Outblitzkrieged

On June 22, 1944, the Red Army launched Operation Bagration with an apocalyptic artillery bombardment. Almost two months later, the German Army Group Center was functionally destroyed. Crucial Nazi forces would be diverted to stem the tide, allowing the Red Army to overwhelm the now-depleted sectors. It would open the path deeper into the heart of the Third Reich and Berlin would fall within the year. That’s what you’ll be doing in Unity of Command II: Berlin DLC.
