I am a fan of life simulation games and even though I prefer the somewhat more hardcore titles like Spore or other Sim-something titles, I must admit that I enjoy playing Virtual Villagers or Virtual Families, too.

It might sound strange for some people, but I never fancied this kind of “action-platformer” titles like Tomb Raider, the Sands of Time trilogy and I didn’t even get over-excited by the highly appreciated Shadow of the Collosus (actually I found it quite boring) – so I was not really eager to start my Persian [...]

I love old school real time strategies: build your base, train a ton of troops, leave another ton in the queue and begin the planetary massacre against a cheating, dumb AI which keeps building resource harvesting units instead of troops to defend its attacked buildings. Such games were incredibly fun, they were not at all [...]

Point and click adventure fans are waiting for A Vampyre Story since 2004 when the game was first announced as the resurrection of the adventure genre. Of course, since then, many other games followed the same headline but barely managed to cope with the 3D universe or the pressure – so it would be pretty [...]

Just imagine: you can barely hear the tens of thousands of supporters chanting your name – the sound your heart beating makes, like the loudest drum in the world, that sound is everything you hear. You are so tired that you can barely stand up, your legs are aching, you have a swollen joint and [...]

Following my demo play of Football Manager 2009 with Newcastle which resulted in this preview, I have decided to start it all over again following the game’s full release and took over Inter, with only one goal in mind: to win every possible competition in the world.

There are basically just two games battling for the number one spot as the best football management game and the battle was always won by Sports Interactive’s Football Manager. However, Electronic Arts managed to bring us some huge surprises recently, culminating with an almost flawless version of their football simulation game, as you can see [...]

For me, the original Fallout game and its sequel represented some of the better things that happened during my “gamer” days. For me, these two titles represented the best two RPG games I have ever played (yes, better than Diablo or any other game you can think about). For me, Fallout deserved to be placed [...]

The highly controversial sandbox game developed by Rockstar initially for the PlayStation 2 has found its way, after a two years long wait, on PC systems. Since it came after the Xbox 360 and Wii versions of the game and in the shadows of GTA IV, Mercenaries 2 or Saints Row 2, Bully: Scholarship Edition [...]

During the last few years, the battle between Electronic Arts and Konami for the title of the best football simulation game was won by the latter and FIFA never seemed to at least have the desire of improvement.
