A good train management game can be a thing of excellence, just think back to the Railroad Tycoon series and bask the glow of glorious train timetabling and management. It is a genre which I’ve largely lost track of in recent time, but the upcoming full release of Train Valley on September 16th could change that. …
Larian Studios have spent their development career working on the Divinity series, a history which has seen them dive into the traditional RPG-fair with Divinity II: Ego Draconis and RTS/political-sim hybrid Divinity: Dragon Commander. Their true success however came with Divinity: Original Sin (see my Verdict), an RPG with a highly interactive world to explore with some hardcore turn-based combat thrown in for good measure. It was a great game, and is set to become even better with an Enhanced Edition. …
Have you ever had a dream about changing the course of history? Have you ever wondered what might happen if Britain got involved in the Spanish Civil War? What about the United States taking an isolationist policy towards Europe in World War Two? If you have dreams like that, then you are either a historian, or you are waiting for Hearts of Iron IV from Paradox. The good news is that I have the latest trailer to share with you. …
Dovetail Games, the team behind Train Simulator and the recent rebirth of Microsoft Flight Simulator on Steam are expanding their relationship with Microsoft. Find out more, after the break. …
Two years ago, I played and delivered my Verdict on a game called Beatbuddy, which despite one or two niggling issues, was a game full of character. When developers Threaks announced their new title at Gamescom this week, I was naturally curious and so, I bring you word of Retro Invasion. …
There was a time before The Reticule was born when I tried my hand at running a Command and Conquer fansite, it was called cncnation.net and last a couple of years, at least until my enthusiasm for the series was destroyed by the falling standards of Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars and Red Alert 3. But I was always fascinated by the dedicated modding communities that were out there, and one of the biggest is nearing final release. …
Ok, I promised you a trailer break-down for X-COM 2, and here it is…. you (didn’t) asked for it…
There is one game which I will always hold close to my heart, for the simple reason that it is somewhat close to my old nickname…that game of course is Evoland and I was suitably intrigued last year when the sequel was announced. And now, we have a trailer for the new game which is set for release this summer. …
Are you eager for more Blitzkrieg 3 trailers? I sure hope you, as I have three more coming your way. I bring you two new developer diaries, with one of them talking about the secondary weapons that different units have. It will be interesting to see how that plays into the traditional rock, paper, scissors gameplay mechanics found in RTS titles. The final trailer is a pre-order advertisement, but it does show hints of what the user interface will look like. Check them all out after the break. …
It is somewhat strange for me to realise that I haven’t played Destiny for a couple of weeks. A game that I adore, but has slipped behind my current playing schedule thanks to the need to actually…you know…review games.
