Look, I played fifteen demos for this thing (my own edification, entertainment, desperate need for engagement). They couldn’t have all been winners, right? Yep. Of them, There’s No Light was the biggest stinker.

I wasn’t even born when the first Carrier Command came out. But damn, the trailer footage for the sequel made it look like fun, so I was looking forward to giving it a go. Finally, Steam Next Fest came around. So here’s a brief look at the Carrier Command 2 demo.

Renewed interest in Cold War Goes Hot games – probably driven by kids raised on their dad’s Tom Clancy books and Reforger ’88 finally reaching developer age – keeps paying off. Regiments demo shows that it may be inspired in part by Wargame, but determined to forge its own path.

Yes, I already did a Battlesector preview in 7 screenshots. But then the publishers plied me with a demo version that showed some of the campaign mechanics as well as more missions. So here we are, it’s the Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector preview.

All of human endeavor endlessly moves towards a single goal: to make a computer run Advanced Squad Leader for us. Since that hasn’t happened yet, we get to play and preview games like Valor & Victory.

I wrote my Trials of Fire preview almost two years ago. And the game has finally come out! I was very much impressed back then. Am I impressed now? Only this teeny tiny Trials of Fire review will tell.
To my extreme great disappointment, Black Lab Games wasn’t the team tasked with bringing Battlefleet Gothic to the video game arena. After all, they are solid space-game devs. However, their skills could not elude GW’s IPs for too long, so now I’m looking at a very early preview of Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector.

“Countryballs? Now that’s a name I haven’t heard in years, kid” was basically man reaction when I first learned about this game. A countryballs game in the year of our Lord 2021? Surely you jest! But Bang-On Balls: Chronicles doesn’t. Neither does it seem to be likely to change its God-awful title.

Everyone’s a World War 2 fan until it’s time to actually play the campaigns that gave “Blitzkrieg” its name. Without the ability to fawn over Rommel or wank over wunderwaffles like the Panther and Tiger, the enthusiasm of many a WW2 gamer shrivels. But the team behind Unity of Command 2 isn’t made of lilly-livered, yellow-bellied cowards. That’s why they made (and generously furnished me with) Unity of Command 2: Blitzkrieg DLC.

The funniest thing about Control is how I came to have it. I thought I’d give it a spin on Xbox Live for PC. In about two hours of gameplay, I experienced more crashes to desktop than my entire gaming career. So I bought it on Steam, at full price, to see if it’s Xbox or just my PC. It was Xbox Live. So that was the story of how I paid full price for Control on Steam because Xbox Live sucked, while this is a very short review of that game.
