A Review By Tel Prydain in Xbox 360 » Strategy
I first played Civilisation on our family’s XT PC in the early nineties - you had the option of playing it in 16-colour EGA or 256-Colour VGA; and it ruled a significant part of my childhood. This is not an uncommon scenario and since then the franchise has sold over eight million copies. And that’s not including the ‘Call to Po...

A Review By Tel Prydain in Xbox 360 » Strategy
Turn based strategy certainly isn’t a genre that is over represented on the 360, and while some won’t see that as much of a loss, those who have been initiated into the mysteries of the turn based strategy fandom know that there are few things more rewarding then thinking up a clever strategy and then crushing your opponents without h...

A Review By DurkaDan in PlayStation 3 » Strategy
Ah yes! My first review! I don't have much review experience so I hope my style doesn't offend you or the gods. Enjoy! Civilization. I have barely known thee yet for a few one-nighters with your classic games. I don't play much of the RTS games these days as my taste in games has changed tremendously since the Age of E...

A Review By StinkyCheese in Wiiware » Strategy
Stingy gamers might glance at My Life as a King and snort at its price tag. Not only is it the most expensive game on the shop channel, but the pricey download content may lead gamers to believe part of the experience was 'taken away' so Square Enix could grab a few extra dollars from you. This is not the case. I can Honestly tell you ...

A Review By hamidious in PC » Strategy
Heroes of Might & Magic 5 was a great successor to the legacy of the Heroes franchise. It was not only a graphical upgrade, but many gameplay elements and balances were introduced. I tried this standalone expansion despite the bad reviews flying around, and I'm glad I did. Tribes of the East (TOTE) is a standalone expansion, which is gr...

Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness is the PSP remake of the 2003 PlayStation 2 original, Disgaea: Hour of Darkness. If you've played the original, here's what's new: New Etna Game: Unlocked after completing the original quest or via cheat code, this is the original with a pretty major twist: What if Etna had actually killed Laharl at the start...

A Review By PathMaster in PC » Strategy
The first part of 2008 saw relatively few PC releases. Luckily, a new developer, Ironclad, teamed up with Stardock to give us Sins of a Solar Empire. Sins is a 4x strategy game (eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, and eXterminate). Does Sins live up to the grand design? The game allows you to play as three very different factions: ...

A Review By ghostbear in PSP » Strategy
If you like Warhammer 40k and Strategy games, this is for you. Loading the game for the first time I was blown away by the quality of both the sound and the graphics. This is a very nice looking game. The cut scenes are gorgeous and the narrator feels like he belongs in the Warhammer universe. The weapons...

A Review By Doctor Setebos in Wii » Strategy
Battalion Wars 2 is (obviously) the sequel to the GameCube Battalion Wars title, which was Nintendo's first attempt at taking the phenomenal strategy and fun of their GBA Advance Wars series and figuring out how badly they can destroy the concept as they move it over to a console. The Wii sequel builds on the foundation of the first game and delive...

A Review By PureNell in Nintendo DS » Strategy
“Days of Ruin” places a dark veil on the Advance Wars series that we’ve come to know and love. While I am typically a huge fan of games that take a light hearted approach, I have to be honest in the fact that after playing this game, I wholeheartedly welcome the majority of the changes that Intelligent Systems has made. ...

A Review By Siraris in PC » Strategy
I frickin' love the Resident Evil series. It's great. But I am a little tired of it, you know? I mean, even with the brilliant looking Resident Evil Code Veronica hyping up the Webwaves, it hasn't fooled me. That game is the same exact RE formula to a Tee. It's great, but it's the same. So... So I want something new. More than just more and bette...
