‘You’re The Boat Boss’: ThIs Is The Best Game Trailer Of 2013 So Far

I’m not saying all video game trailers should be narrated by in jazzy, dulcet tones, but it sure beats dubstep. This promo video for Leviathan: Warships — a strategy game that will be out for PC, Mac, iOS and Android on April 30 — is by far my favourite trailer of 2013 so far. Enjoy it!


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”.


What Sorcery Is This? Magicka Casts Its Spell On Tablets

You Might Soon See Paradox’s Big PC Games On An iPad (But Probably Not A Console)

As someone who spends most of his time on an iPad playing strategy games, and as someone who when not playing them on an iPad is playing them on a PC, when I had the chance to speak with Johan Andersson, the Studio Manager of Paradox’s internal development team, there was one thing I needed to know above all others.


E3 Is About Interesting Little PC Games Too, You Know

A Game of Dwarves is one of the more interesting PC games on my radar at the moment, mostly because it promises to be a little bit Majesty and a little bit Dwarf Fortress. Only a lot easier to play.



A Multiplayer Shooter… Set In The 15th Century

This is the first proper trailer for War of the Roses, a multiplayer combat game from Fatshark and Paradox. Come for the bows and medieval countryside, stay for the man who gets stabbed in the head not once, not twice, but thrice.


Magicka’s Developers Turn Badass 80s Shootouts Into A Competitive Video Game

PC specialists Paradox unveiled three new games at GDC yesterday. One is The Showdown Effect, which if you can make it past the intro in the trailer above unfurls into something that looks like Worms and Quake III had a tiny, split-screen baby.
