Galactic Civilizations II: The Dark Avatar

PC Preview | Galactic Civilizations II: Dark Avatar

It takes a while to separate the new stuff in Galactic Civilizations II: Dread Lords from the really new stuff in the Dark Avatar expansion pack. Stardock has been continually improving the core game since its release, so if you havent played it for a while, you might not be sure where to draw the line between “update” and ...

Galactic Civilizations II: Dark Avatar expansion

PC Preview | Galactic Civilizations II: Dark Avatar

When we last left the Galactic Civilizations universe, the evil Drengin Empire just about had everything - and everyone - rolled up. So, at the start of the upcoming strategy expansion pack, called Dark Avatar, the Drengin reign over the galaxy is so complete that their worst enemy is now from within. In-fighting has split their grip on the empire, and the most powerful faction, the Korath, now demand the extermination of all non-Drengin races. You are the Dark Avatar, chief of the Drengin ...

Galactic Civilizations II: Twilight of the Arnor

PC Preview | Galactic Civilizations II: Twilight of the Arnor

Sept 19, 2007 You won't find any big breasted babes or recycled Warcraft-in-space gameplay here for mass appeal's sake. Galactic Civilizations II: Twilight of the Arnor sticks to what the series does best with deep 4X turn-based space strategy and more technology to research, ships to build, and planets to conquer. But try explaining how Galactic Civilizations can mesmerize you with menus and endless branches of tech, and the person you're talking too will probably walk away mid-sentence. ...

Gears of War - hands-on

PC Preview | Gears of War

Oct 26, 2007 We're playing the Gears of War PC's new King of the Hill mode, which has just seen four other players kill each other viciously from behind one after another in a hilarious cartoon chain of death. As the legendary lead designer CliffyB said to me earlier in the day, the new multiplayer game is indeed, "f---ing hilarious." Gears of War has shifted over four million copies on Xbox 360 alone, won countless Game of the Year awards and become one of the most popular online shooters of ...

E3 07: Gears of War - hands-on

PC Preview | Gears of War

It's been about 8 months since Gears of War's orgiastic celebration of blood, guts, and in-your-face visceral gameplay upped the ante for shooters when it debuted on the Xbox 360. This week, game designer Cliff Bleszinski finally acknowledged what gamers have been expecting for quite some time, that Gears of War would be blasting its way to the PC. This holiday season, both XP and Vista users can look forward to five new chapters added to the story mode, a new multiplayer mode, and 3 new maps. ...

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon 2

PC Preview | Ghost Recon 2

(9MB, MOV)We've sent teams of crack operatives into tense close-combat action in Rainbow Six, steered one-man stealth specialist Sam Fisher into the murky conspiracies of Splinter Cell, and taken squad-based combat out into the great beyond in Ghost Recon. What's left for the Tom Clancy line to sink its political teeth into?Put simply: war. This is the kind of filthy war that stretches out as far as the eye can see, with explosions and shrapnel spraying with every click of the mouse.Ghost Recon ...

Ghostbusters The Video Game - hands on

PC Preview | Ghostbusters The Video Game

As I stepped out of the Ecto-1 and stood on the steps of the New York Public Library alongside Ernie Hudson, Dan Aykroyd, and Harold Ramis (Bill Murray isn’t along for this particular call) listening to the team chatter, Ghostbusters’ Associate Producer Ryan French explained that my experimental proton pack was fully loaded for the purposes of this demo. ...

Ghostbusters - hands-on

PC Preview | Ghostbusters The Video Game

For children of the '80s, there are many pop culture touchtones - just watch VH1 on any given Sunday and you will see dozens of examples. One of the biggest was Ghostbusters, and after two decades since Ghostbusters II and the series' descent into nostalgic obscurity, it's making a return in a big way to consoles and PC. That is a damn sight better than Extreme Ghostbusters...

Granted, thanks to the wonders of the internet and ...

Ghostbusters The Video Game

PC Preview | Ghostbusters The Video Game

Dec 12, 2007 There's nothing quite like a comeback story to capture the imagination. In 1989, the Ghostbusters were down and out, broke and about as popular as a council health inspector about to rupture a spirit containment system. Forced to suffer the ignominy of making guest appearances at the parties of ungrateful snot-nosed brats in exchange for a few bucks, the boys in boiler suits were about as low as they could get without actually being scalded by the Earth's ...

Glory of the Roman Empire

PC Preview | Glory of the Roman Empire

What makes the Roman Empire the most fascinating and storied regime in all of history? The Romans were so far ahead of their time that it is nearly impossible to find a social or political issue today where a Roman wouldn't sniff, "been there, done that." At its apogee, the Roman Empire stretched from Great Britain to Constantinople, an impossibly complex social and military achievement 2,000 years ago. Glory of the Roman Empire simulates the Roman society at a granular level, and enables us ...
