    Dark Messiah of Might and Magic

    Well-paced fantasy action game, if you have the patched version.

    For those who thought this is along the series of Might and Magic, well, you may be a little put-off. It does have a little hint of RPG elements, in terms of the scarcely distributed skill points which are used to unlock... Read Full Review

    Codename: Panzers, Phase One

    Notable tank RTS, if you really love tanks a lot.

    True to the title, this game specializes in tank combat, which is the main attraction here. Yes there're infantry and emplacement units as well, but they're either too vulnerable mid game onwards or just too slow to use ... Read Full Review

    The first game that gave me a spinning headache.

    Salammbo's story is one that not a lot of people will care I suppose, given the bizarre and rarely known settings like Carthage and Punic Wars... Punic? Also, your main character turns out to be a double-crossing thief w... Read Full Review

    Very buggy, not much of a ride, but should appeal to hack'n'slash fans who fancy cyberpunk.

    Everything is outdated, retro perhaps, from the formulaic gameplay, the dull visual design, the half-hearted sound design to the generic storyline. It's not bad considering that there's a refreshing touch to the environm... Read Full Review
