Civilization: Call to Power 2 Review

The bottom line is that the game isn't a bit challenging, and it doesn't make any sense to play an empire game in an environment where you won't have any real competition.

There are a number of minor problems with Stronghold, the new real-time strategy from Firefly Studios/Godgames. However, these flaws don't detract from what is, overall, a thoroughly entertaining experience.

Stronghold: Crusader Review

About a year ago Firefly Studios, Stronghold hit the store shelves. With very little anticipation and not a great deal of press, Stronghold managed to soar into the RTS limelight and gather in a great following.

Trade Empires Review

Many strategy games incorporate trade as one of the central challenges for the player to overcome in building an empire. But perhaps none re-creates the art of buying low and selling high in such detail as Trade Empires.

Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos Review

Warcraft was the game that turned the strategy world upside down. It impacted the game world like Dune II did. This third part of Warcraft was named Warcraft III: The Reign of Chaos.

Warrior Kings Review

From the outset this game has been fairly heavily advertised via TV & PC magazines & I was waiting with baited breath to get my copy - to try something that promised to be ‘that bit different’.

World War II: Panzer Claws Review

Apart from the excellent ‘Commandos’ series, I had never really considered Eidos when looking for a new strategy game - they tend to get pigeonholed with Lara Croft & the like. Then I saw this game, was intrigued & then totally hooked - it rocks!
