PC Review
Humans vs aliens. If anything from videogames is to be believed, its the inevitable struggle of the future. In this third installment of the UFO series, mankinds already lost the battle for planet Earth, and we've been shipped off by conquering aliens to a lonely crater on Mars instead. Newcomers will be totally bewildered by Afterlights mix of turn-based strategy and micro-management. If youve never tested the waters of the series before, it can be a bit like trying to gouge your eye out with ...

PC Review
We feel dirty. Dirty because what enjoyment we've taken from UFO: Extraterrestrials isn't of its own making. It's all very well treating it as its own entity, but when something is so knowingly a carbon copy of X-COM, the past can't be ignored. This is a straight copy, not the experimentation of the rival UFO: After series, though equally unpolished. Only the move to a butt-ugly 3D engine, a wonky interface and the same plot but in a different light mark significant change. That it sucked us ...

At first glance, baseball games and MMOs dont seem like a natural marriage. Sure, there are a few similarities: For every giant, ogre-like beast in World of Warcraft, baseball has a Roger Clemens. And for every diabolical genius bent on world-domination in City of Villains, baseball has, well, a Roger Clemens. But the common features really end there, which is why its surprising to see that Ultimate Baseball Online 2007 actually works pretty well. After all, this free game is treading into ...

Dec 12, 2007 We're not alone in the universe... in fact, it's getting kind of crowded in here. In Universe at War: Earth Assault, a hokey science fiction storyline has Earth invaded by not one, not two, but three alien races intent on settling their ancient interstellar war once and for all. Only in the prelude to this real-time strategy game's mediocre campaign do you command the badly out-gunned humans, who can do little but run from the enormous radioactive Hierarchy walkers that are ...

PC Review
While UT2003 was well received, Epic's true success can't be judged on that alone. In an infinite chain, it isn't the first link you judge, but the movement onwards. While still very much in the same vein, the improvements in UT2004 are so varied, polished and deep that they make any devotee of the genre consider upgrading. In fact, its range is extensive enough to make those who turned their nose up at the business-as-usual nature of UT2003 come storming back. While there are large changes, ...

PC Review
Nov 19, 2007 So, normally with this type of review - the type ending in a big score - the criticisms are left to the end. Lets not do that this time - it means finishing on a sour note, and then trying to rope it back with a hasty “But its awesome!” UT3 is insane, and brilliant, so were going to get whats wrong with it out of the way early. For the fourth entry in the series, Epic has concentrated a lot more on the offline campaign. Here are the two worst things about UT3: the ...
