Train Simulator 2014

Still good but its developers control ALL content.

After all the changes to the EULA for the TS2013 version of this game, I believed this game would take a dive. Instead, its popularity seems to have increased, and the DLC available for it has increased in both quantity ... Read Full Review

??

Update of "Rail Simulator", the successor to MTS.

Railworks 2 is an update of Rail Simulator, based on the original MS Train Simulator. To be honest not a great deal has changed. If you own Rail Simulator then you don't need to buy this - it's a free upgrade. (Somethin...

The Orange Box

Portal: remarkably innovative and refreshingly humorous.

A welcomed revival of "Half-Life 2" with two sequels, and two other games: "Team Fortress 2" and a new, revolutionary game called "Portal". I'm only going to talk here about "Portal". I have already written a review ... Read Full Review

BioShock

A Wonderfully Imaginative and Retro World!

The thing that strikes me most about this game is the art direction. A lot of research must have gone into 1930s Art Deco, which is the visual style of this game. It's everywhere, from the buildings and signs to small de... Read Full Review

Half-Life 2

Eat this toilet!

Basically, the same as Half-Life but using the source engine which provides better physics and better graphics. Expect lots of irony in the form of references to the original game. The original Half-Life had an impres... Read Full Review

Silent Hunter 5: Battle of the Atlantic

Despite a bumpy start, a patched and modded SH5 is a worthy successor to the Silent Hunter series.

This review has been revised in December 2011. The reason is because Silent Hunter 5 has been updated since its release, and those updtaes have addressed some of the original problems with the game, including the removal... Read Full Review

Far Cry

X-Plane 8

A proper flight simulator.

X-plane is low cost flight simulator for PC that faithfully recreates the "feel" of flying. As a real GA pilot myself, I can tell you that X-plane is much closer to reality than anything else you can buy on the market in... Read Full Review

Hearts of Iron II

WWII stategy game

I think Brett Todd, the Gamespot reviewer of Hearts of Iron II, sums it up when he says "Hearts of Iron II fulfills the promise of its predecessor….this is what the original game should have been." Question is, does o... Read Full Review

Victoria: An Empire Under the Sun

Quality Strategy Game - but may be for Historians only...

Quality strategy game that follows on chronologically from it’s forerunner Europa Universalis II. This game focuses on the late 19th and early 20th century, and has basically the same game engine and interface as EUII, b... Read Full Review

Europa Universalis II

Great historical Strategy Game.

Edited in April, 2012 EU2 is one of the few computer games ever to be released which I can call "timeless", not least because it still looks good and is still playable in 2012, on a Windows 7 64 bit OS. This timles... Read Full Review

World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria

The latest expansion from WoW may keep players glued to the screen for another 3 months, but offers nothing innovative.

The Mists of Pandaria expansion (MoP) offers players a new kingdom, a new race, a new class, and few other new features and changes. The theme is loosely based on 16th century Chinese folklore, mythology and philosophy. ... Read Full Review

Train Simulator 2013

New restrictions curbing user generated content, and more dumbing down threaten the future of this simulation platform.

My reviews for previous versions of this game spanning several years have always been enthusiastic and positive, so I'm quite sad to have to write a review today that is far from that. I'm disappointed at the direction t... Read Full Review

Grand Ages: Rome

Best Roman City Building game to date.

This game has been criticised for being just another, average city builder game, offering nothing new when compared to earlier efforts such as CivCity: Rome or Imperium Romanum. I think Grand Ages: Rome is easily the bes... Read Full Review
