Inheriting Civilization V’s Brave New World, One Trade At A Time

I’d like to think I’m a people person. I might not agree with 75 per cent of what other people say or think or believe, but I get along. It’s what I do. In today’s society it works, for the most part. In Civilization V it didn’t, at least not until now. It’s a Brave New World, and I almost conquered it with commerce.

App Review: It Only Took A Legendary Developer To Make Strategic Air Battles Fun

When I’m in the cockpit of a fighter aircraft, the last thing I want to do is slow down — I certainly don’t want to wait my turn. I need a joystick in my hand, a first-person view and buttons for machine guns and/or missiles. I was pretty sure Sid Meier of civilisation and Pirates! fame had finally created a game I did not want to play in Ace Patrol. I was mistaken.


2K Games Bails On E3, Too

Earlier this week Nintendo said it wouldn’t do a pre-conference keynote event at E3, though it’ll still have a booth there. 2K Games isn’t even doing that. A post on the publisher’s blog says they won’t be on E3′s floor.

Oft-Delayed XCOM Shooter Sees Its Official Site And Videos Taken Offline

The official web presence for the shooter/RPG variant of XCOM, a reboot concept that never seemed to capture gamers’ imagination from the moment it was announced in 2011 through its E3 2011 and several delays, has been taken down and, further, the game’s YouTube videos also have been set to private. 2K Games is not saying anything.


XCOM And Civilization Creators Are Bringing Something Spooky To iOS

The folks at Firaxis are responsible for some of the best strategy games ever made. So when they promise a deep, competitive, free-to-play strategy game for iOS in the upcoming Haunted Hollow, it’s a good time to be an iDevice owner.


This Gory BioShock Infinite Trailer Shows Off Booker’s Big Guns

Irrational Games, the company behind BioShock, has just released this spectacular combat trailer for the series’ newest instalment, BioShock Infinite. Many of the weapons protagonist Booker DeWitt will get to use are put on full display.


Why XCOM: Enemy Unknown Should Be Game Of The Year

This mission, which comes from a template of regular assignments, delivered my most profound gaming experience of 2012, one I’ll remember for the rest of my days. Games that take hold on your mind well after you power down the console or put the PC to sleep deserve to be called Game of the Year. Kotaku has nominated eight so far. XCOM: Enemy Unknown is the ninth and last.
