The Old Gods Make A New Comeback
The pagans are coming! Crusader Kings II is a brutal strategy game on its own, where just surviving is a high honor. Add in the rampaging pagans, or become them, and The Old Gods DLC becomes epic.
Race All Day!
This week I suit up to race motorcycles in the free Android game Bike Race. Is it worth the download?
Old School Wargaming Roars Back

A Vampire Game To Sink Your Teeth Into
It turns out that The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing is, well, kind of incredible. While obvious comparisons to Diablo-type games will be made, this one stands alone with great dialog and smooth combat.
Pets in Space!
This week I explore unknown planets with Rocket Pets. Can I survive the harsh conditions of these alien worlds with the help of my rocket powered pets?
A Russian Revolution
Metro: Last Light is the sequel to the excellent Metro 2033. Last Light offers great combat, lots of spooky post-nuclear war world to explore, and a surprisingly detailed plot that will keep you guessing.
