XCOM: Enemy Unknown PS3
Real Time games are played without opportunity to stop and consider the next move. This creates an experience that is more reaction than strategy based. Sporting, fighting and rhythm action games obviously rely on this style of delivery to work. Other genres, such as strategy or adventure games, can choose whether to be played in turns or in real time. Some games such as Valkyria Chronicles PS3 and PSP provide a turn based strategy experience with real time elements - something that is becoming a popular compromise.

Diablo III brings its own take on dungeon crawling and loot-grabbing; but it's the boundary between real and imaginary profits that are attracted the most attention... read now
XCOM: Enemy Unknown rekindles the dreams of turn-based-strategy lovers everywhere and potential adds even more depth... read now
Ruin Vita allows players to take an epic quest with them on the go, while also providing the same action on the big screen via PS3 when back at home... read now
OK, I admit it. I started getting excited about going on this Odyssey long before I arced it up and entered the pint-sized world of Game Dev Story... read now
Solatorobo joins a merry band of games that see off the DS in style. The love and attention spent on both the graphics engine and story is are awe inspiring, but it is the playability of Solatorobo that really makes it stick... read now
Inazuma Eleven combines Anime-style roleplaying with a quirky football simulation. I really wanted to like it. I really didn't... read now
A lot can change in your life in a few months, and in the time since I last wrote a lot has changed in mine both with gaming and dating... read now
Carrier Command: Gaea Mission returns classic command strategy to the PC. Most importantly though it extends its powerful space opera saga... read now
Starship Patrol could be more surprising. A simple looking DS-ware game that punches well above its weight in delivering a finely balanced, exquisitely present strategy space combat game... read now
i think i should 'fess up and point out that before playing the recent 360 release of The Sims 3 i was of the opinion that endlessly fiddling with the most tedious of aspects of the lives of some stupid little computer modelled people represented absolutely the most pointless thing a person can do with their time... read now
Lego Ninjago offers a second bite at the pint-sized real-time strategy cherry. But the clincher will be whether it can create an endearing Lego world that players care enough about to invest long hours in... read now
Animal Kororo DS is an extremely cute puzzle world populated by round, smiling creatures. Beneath this saccharine exterior lies a deceptively challenging microcosm built on strict time limits and careful strategy... read now
Valkyria Chronicles 3 offers larger battles, special powers and improved visuals. But it's still the unique mix of turn based and real time strategy that makes another game in the series an enticing proposition - providing they don't overdo the supernatural abilities... read now
Great Battles Medieval PS3 fails to connect drama and history. Despite its educational credentials and an interesting take on simulated warfare, a lack of theatre prevented me from living and breathing the story... read now
Super Street Fighter 4 stands on the shoulders of giants and makes the very best of the view. Better balanced, more characters and improved online make this a surprisingly compelling update to an already impressive reemergence of a classic game... read now
Command and Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight is exclusive to PC again, but the base-building Real-time Strategy is lost in favour of a more streamlined tactical system similar to Company of Heroes. The new approach offers a lightweight experience perhaps better suited to the console market than the PC... read now
Starship Patrol is football management for the masses. The DSi-ware game's stripped down visuals and clockwork strategy scratch the same itch as many a soccer sim. As I later discovered these games to be called, tower defence doesn't get much better than this... read now

With so many different perspectives it can be hard to know where to start - a little like walking into a crowded pub. Sorry about that. But so far we've not found a way to streamline our review output - there's basically too much of it. So, rather than dilute things for newcomers we have decided to live with the hubbub while helping new readers find the columnists they will enjoy. |
