    Baldur's Gate

    If you really enjoy RPGs true to D&D rules and want to find out more about the RPG that really got me gaming...

    Almost nine years after its release, I’m just as impressed now as I was then, when I started playing this game again after such a long time. In fact, after all is said and done, this is probably the game that got me g... Read Full Review

    If you enjoy the computer equavelnt of pen and paper D&D and appreciated some of the other BioWare titles...

    Having played the entire Baldur's Gate series a few years back and finally getting my own copy of Neverwinter Nights, almost five years after it's release, I was really intrigued to find out if they could better themselv... Read Full Review

    If you want to find out about yet another BioWare classic…

    Then you have definitely come to the right place. Gameplay Before we continue, I need to point out that I absolutely love BioWare games. From the days of Baldur's Gate right through all the editions of Neverwinter ... Read Full Review

    Trevor Chan's Capitalism II

    If you're really just interested in getting down to the nitty gritty of running a virtual business empire...

    Before we even get started, I need to immediately mention that this is not a game for casual financial empire builders or those who expect some fancy gee wizz graphics on the fly. No, this is almost not a game, but ra... Read Full Review

    Blitzkrieg 2

    If you enjoy bashing things into the ground and blowing the opposition into oblivion...

    I really, really enjoyed the first edition of Blitzkrieg, spending many hours strategizing how to eliminate the enemy in the most effective way in any given scenario. I even spent many hours publishing a few of my own mo... Read Full Review

    If you want to experience the horror/survival genre in an almost delectably, decadent way…

    Gameplay: From the moment you start playing the first chapter of this twelve chapter sci-fi horror/survival shooter, you will probably notice that Dead Space doesn't really bring anything radically new or different to... Read Full Review

    The Movies

    Definitely not boring and like most other games it really depends on what kind of gamer you are...

    After having tracked this game for quite a few months right here on GameSpot, I was still a bit tentative when I eventually got to the shop and stood in front of the shelves eyeing the cover of The Movies. Although I ... Read Full Review

    Having had the privilege of starting of in the days of Civilization Call to Glory, then Call to Glory II and then Civilization III, this game is just what the doctor ordered and the developers and everyone else that was ... Read Full Review

    Imperial Glory

    A direct comparison with the Total War series may be somewhat unfair.

    At first glance, the game seems to resemble an attempt to "clone" the Total War series in many ways. Once you start playing the game in Campaign mode for example, it soon becomes clear that there are many subtle philo... Read Full Review

    I have to admit that I really needed to sit down and think a while before even attempting to write a review for The Guild 2. While at the time I wrote this review there were only 114 folks listed on GameSpot with this... Read Full Review

    Axis & Allies

    A game that should have had a lot of potential simply doesn't make the grade as far as I am concerned...

    At first glance, this is another WWII RTS that really could have had a lot of potential, but by today's standards the game doesn't really offer anything new to the RTS genre. Combined with pretty poor graphics by toda... Read Full Review
