Trevor Chan's Restaurant Empire Review

In conclusion, Restaurant Empire provides a classic brunch overall: not quite breakfast and not quite lunch but still a good meal with a slice of melon.

Hegemonia: Legions of Iron Review

Hegemonia is another of the group that appears to be completely overlooked in the game shops for some reason - it’s there but you do have to look for it.

With the recent resurgence in historical strategy games, it was no great surprise to see one turn up with the Vietnam War as a setting.

World War II: Panzer Claws Review

Apart from the excellent ‘Commandos’ series, I had never really considered Eidos when looking for a new strategy game - they tend to get pigeonholed with Lara Croft & the like. Then I saw this game, was intrigued & then totally hooked - it rocks!

Trade Empires Review

Many strategy games incorporate trade as one of the central challenges for the player to overcome in building an empire. But perhaps none re-creates the art of buying low and selling high in such detail as Trade Empires.

About a year ago Firefly Studios, Stronghold hit the store shelves. With very little anticipation and not a great deal of press, Stronghold managed to soar into the RTS limelight and gather in a great following.

Stronghold Review

There are a number of minor problems with Stronghold, the new real-time strategy from Firefly Studios/Godgames. However, these flaws don't detract from what is, overall, a thoroughly entertaining experience.

Civilization: Call to Power 2 Review

The bottom line is that the game isn't a bit challenging, and it doesn't make any sense to play an empire game in an environment where you won't have any real competition.

Better late than never--that well-worn phrase has been granted new life by Conquest: Frontier Wars, a real-time strategy game set in space that spent much of this year without a home.

Warcraft was the game that turned the strategy world upside down. It impacted the game world like Dune II did. This third part of Warcraft was named Warcraft III: The Reign of Chaos.

Pyro Studios latest addition to the Commandos family takes the series to a whole new level. It is a delectable feast of military planning and execution which rewards the patient and contemplative gamer with hours and hours of tactical fun.
