Fantasy General II: Empire in Flames DLC | Rome is burning!

Back when I was a kid, new campaigns for games came with these things called “expansion packs.” Granted, that concept has been absorbed by DLCs, which encompass any and all additional content that’s delivered outside of patches. And as a kid, I missed out on the original Fantasy General. I made up for that by playing Fantasy General II. Empire in Flames DLC is a great addition to the main game.

Horizon: Zero Dawn Review – Game good

Premier robo-animal hunting game Horizon: Zero Dawn came out in the blighted land of the consoles back in 2017. It only reached PC in these the darkest of days. And what can I say, folks? It was well worth the wait. Especially since we got it with The Frozen Wilds DLC from the get go!

Shadow Empire: Planetary Conquest preview – It’s mine now

How often do you see a sci-fi 4X game that’s taking place on another planet and it isn’t a warmed up clone of Alpha Centauri? And how often is it set in a post-apocalyptic setting? Because that’s what you can expect in Shadow Empire: Planetary Conquest.

Rage 2 review | Nanotrites, sustain me!

Now, when the original Rage came out, it was not a big hit. Sure, it had that fancy tech to load massive textures, but the game was short and ended basically on a fart. I was surprised when I heard they were making a sequel. I was even more surprised when I finally got to play Rage 2 after subscribing to Xbox Live for PC.

Warhammer 40,000: Gladius – Relics of War T’au DLC review | Blue Man Fireteam

If orks are the best race in Warhammer 40,000, the Tau are the worst. Oh sure, the Tyranids have the worst fluff, but they get beat by the game balance stick fairly often. Tau, however, have little to endear them, especially when it comes to their rules and their players. So it isn’t that surprising that the T’au DLC came to Warhammer 40,000: Gladius – Relics of War so late in the cycle.

Battlestar Galactica: Deadlock – Ghost Fleet Offensive DLC review | Toasting toasters

When they first announced Battlestar Galactica: Deadlock, I was not amused. A TV series tie-in for a franchise I considered dead? Not something I was interested in. Yet the good people at Wargamer/Strategy Gamer would not stop ranting and raving about the game, and I’m nothing if not impressionable. Here’s me reviewing Battlestar Galactica: Deadlock and its latest DLC, Ghost Fleet Offensive.
