It depends on the game, however, I generally enjoy the Dawn of War/Company of Heroes style of resource gathering more than the Starcraft/C&C style. DoW and CoH get you out on the field, capturing, killing and scouting immediately which keeps the game interesting constantly. Starcraft and...

Let me preface this by saying yes, this is a demo but a demo is supposed to be representative of the actual game so this is all I have to judge it by so far. TLDR; I am underwhelmed by the game. I applaud the devs for making the game less graphically demanding because the requirements for...

Well, if it's been brought back from the dead it should be used for a positive purpose. Today I was playing and somehow the specials on the infected team were played by real players (unless I'm missing something obvious isn't versus mode supposed to be disabled?) and the new ones were...

I generally use my PSP on the train to and from class which gives me a good half hour to play twice a day. This doesn't give me much time to advance most games so I usually end up playing one of the cheap casual games they have in the PSP store or maybe a racing game (but those generally bore...

Some of my earliest game experiences came from puzzle games and because of that they hold a special place in my heart. I cut my teeth on the Dr. Brain games and The Incredible Toon Machine, ran through Portal over and over again, and haven't stopped playing Tetris since my first grey brick of a...

Also, I don't know what kind of life all of you people live but my doesn't include blowing people up, shooting limbs off, watching skulls explode, or knifing random people on the street. Extreme blood and violence just isn't a part of my daily routine. I did, however, play Team Fortress with...

I have no problem with rating systems but outright banning of anything is insane. Extreme gore and violence should be given a mature rating if we are going to bother to have a rating system. I don't think violence in video games does any damage at all to children but I also have no idea how...

It could be a Steam error. I've had good success with deleting the ClientRegistry.blob file and then restarting. A more drastic approach would be deleting everything in your Steam folder except Steam.exe and your steamapps folder. I was getting random crashes in Red Alert 3 until I did that...

The only new race that I felt was truly experimental was the Necrons because they felt so much different from any of the others. Sure, you didn't play the Eldar like you played the Orks or the Tau but the Necrons were a whole different ballgame. And Soulstorm was even less experimental; the...

As you might have guessed, I've always favored expansions which improve on the multiplayer gameplay. Expanded offline campaigns and added units are fun, however, I find myself really getting into using those new units when I'm pitted against another person. Against even the craftiest AI...

I recently started playing around with Age of Empires 2 again and I realized how much fun could be had even though it lacks a bit of control and my micro skills are a bit rusty. Then I installed Conquerors and I was shocked how much good stuff was added. They added 5 new civilizations, a...

Fighting games come with block buttons?

I recently bought a game called Men of War on Steam because...well because it was only seven bucks. I didn't even make it through the first level so I suppose that's 7 bucks down the drain, however, it gave me quite a laugh because the voice acting was abysmal. I was beyond abysmal, it was...

C&C3 bored the bejeesus out of me. I've never seen a game provide so much unit diversity then force the player to tank spam... Even in the campaign I had to tank spam just to stay alive, forget multiplayer that turned into a sham very quickly. RA3 isn't all that much better, in my opinion...
