Civilization 6 has found its way onto iPad today, working on some of the more powerful units. More than that, though, you'll be able to try the first portion of a game for free. Coming alongside other high profile iOS releases of late like Inside and Life is Strange (not Cuphead), it seems a great […]
Civilization 6 came out last year, with developer Firaxis slowly tweaking and adding content to reach the game's full potential While the title didn't seem to bang as hotly with the community as Civilization 5 did, what's there now is a stellar 4x title It's about to get better, too.Finally, the game's first expansion has[...]
The Civilization 6 roster is growing fast. Leaders and nations are being added ever increasingly, and unsurprsingly a new one has just been announced during Gamescom. Fittingly, the new nation is Germany, who get the leader Frederick Barbarossa, the once King and Empreror. The civilization, as before, is focused on industry with a slant towards military […]

Civilization is the time sink that keeps on giving, so it is a big deal that a new entry is incoming. It doesn't come too often, so for those of us who have been caught in its grasp before, this is a big deal. You can take a look at the game in motion finally […]

It seems the biggest change, or at least the biggest change Firaxis is currently talking about, is how cities work No longer are they just tiles you build on, but subdivisions in which to specialise your great holds.Take a look at the announcement trailer here It won't show you much of the game, but it[...]
One of my favorite things about XCOM 2 is the customization you can bring to your soldiers. I can spend hours organizing my team's look just as I want them, making sure I have the coolest multi-national alien fighting team there is. Well, those customization options are improving next week with DLC full of new […]
There are many who have had problems with the game, and the claims are pretty widespread.It seems that these issues caught Firaxis by surprise Speaking to RPS, the game's lead designer Jake Solomon explained this caught him unawares, and that the team is currently working incredibly hard to right it.
Maybe this is damning on me, but I’m[...]
It creates a careful balancing act where you feel powerful, but also on the verge of being outgunned, and it's really quite awesome to see just how Firaxis spin all those plates It makes sure, even though you might be armed to the teeth, you won't be sure exactly what each encounter will throw at[...]
XCOM 2 is probably one of the first big releases of next year. This is going to be the follow up to the stellar XCOM: Enemy Unknown and I'm certainly hoping that the game can recapture what was great about the reboot. To get you caught up on the concept for XCOM 2, this new […]
In a statement, Firaxis stated:
We’ve set a high bar for the sequel and the entire team has been working hard to make sure we deliver a great follow-up to Enemy Unknown We just need a little more time to make it the best possible game.

The Civilization franchise has stolen hundreds of hours for me. It's gotten to the point now where I won't allow myself to play it unless I have at least three hours free ahead of me. The game is so addictive, it is insane how quickly time disappears when playing it. And I know I'm not […]
I'm a big fan of Civilization. I've lost hundreds of hours to the franchise, but for some reason Beyond Earth never bit me. The concept is great, but the execution never grabbed me as much as I wanted it to. The new expansion for the spin off does look neat though. Rising Tides is going […]
I got to see a bunch of XCOM 2 at E3 this year, and… well, it was a lot of XCOM. It is pretty much what you would expect from a sequel to the game, only this time, it had a lot more scripted 'cut-scene' type interjections. If they work as advertised, that is exactly the […]
As such a huge fan of Civilzation IV and V, Beyond Earth just never quite caught my fancy in the same way. The idea of taking Civilization to space should be a winner, yet the game never bit me in the same way it did the others in the franchise. Having said that, I'm open […]
