Someone Now Owns Homeworld. But Who?

Last week, the rights to Homeworld, a beloved old RTS series by Relic, went under the hammer as part of an auction following the closure of former publisher THQ.


If You Want To Conquer Europe, You Have To Do It The Hard Way

Paradox’s March of the Eagles was released this week on PC, and if you’ve been at all swayed by my love of Crusader Kings II, the video above may have you thinking “wonderful, this is like that, only with muskets”.


The Vikings Are Coming. Hide Your Wife, Hide Your Kids.

Niche PC publishers Paradox held a big event yesterday, unveiling a range of new titles and DLC for existing ones. The one I’m most excited for is The Old Gods, a Viking expansion for my 2012 GOTY nominee Crusader Kings II.


Crusader Kings II Has The Best Patch Notes

You may have noticed. I like Crusader Kings II. I like it a lot. But I like it for all kinds of reasons, many of which I didn’t get space, or time, to dwell on last year.

Impire Is A Dungeon Keeper-Inspired PC Game From Paradox And Cyanide

Dungeon Keeper! Just the name excites me in ways no natural phenomenon could. The odds of us seeing an official, third instalment are zilch, but there’s always the possibility of another developer taking up the torch and creating something with the same flavour. Seems that day has come, with Cyanide Studios and Paradox Interactive announcing Impire, a game that’s as close as we’ve gotten since Bullfrog’s demise.


The Man Who Runs Paradox On The End Of Chivalry, Cheesy Action Movies

The first morning of E3, I sat down to talk with Fredrik Wester, CEO of Paradox Interactive. Paradox has, in the past, generally specialised in careful, strategic games with historical settings. But their upcoming titles all deviate from that scheme in some way.


Is This Call Of Duty: Black Knights? No, It’s War Of The Roses, The Multiplayer Bludgeon-er

Back at PAX East, Stephen Totilo spent some time with War of the Roses by Fatshark, a studio that unapologetically credits Call of Duty and Battlefield as inspirations in this ultra-throwback to combat shoot — uh, stabbers?
