Defenders of Ardania attempts a few new things to set itself apart from the rest of the tower defense genre but how well does this blend of tower defense and real time strategy work?
Taking a look into the details of the PC game Confrontation to see what makes it tick in this review. Is this fantasy-driven tactical turn-based RPG that was originated in the table top miniature game Rackham worth your time? Enter and find out.
Have you ever played an ATARI 5200? If so, you’re in for a healthy dose of nostalgia. If not, you’re in luck because Hack, Slash, Loot (HSL) will give you a vibe that it is paying homage to the 1980’s and you’ll get to visit the ghost of gaming’s past. This independently developed game radiates dated 80’s technology from the sound effects and visuals to the very theme itself.
Remember all the time you spent daydreaming on the idea of going back in time to give the Confederates better technology to fight the Union during the American Civil War? Me neither, but that is the off-kilter premise of developer Radioactive Software’s off-kilter RTS-TPS hybrid, Gettysburg: Armored Warfare.
That Zombie virus is everywhere! It seems like no genre of gaming can escape the menace of the undead. You’d think that puzzle games along the lines of Bejeweled would be safe, but no, the tide of undeath has come to devour the big juicy brains of puzzle gamers, with a new title called Containment.
Telltale Games has done very well for themselves lately. First they made releasing games in episodes a legitimate endeavor, then they went and snatched up a bunch of licenses perfect for point and click adventure gaming such as; Jurassic Park, Back to the Future and Sam & Max. Now they’ve moved into the crime solver gaming space with Law & Order: Legacies, which is not only available on PC, but also on Mac and iPad.

What is best in life? Ask a thousand barbarians and you’ll get a thousand different answers. “Crush your enemies and see them driven before you”. Yes, that is best in life. “The open steppe, a fleet horse, and the wind in your hair”. Yes, that is best in life too. “A comfortable chair, a roaring fire, and a book filled with tales other men’s adventures”. That is also best in life. What is best in life is to pursue whatever you desire at any moment, and Skyrim lets players do just that.
With the rise of independent developers, more and more mods are being turned into full fledged games. Titles like Red Orchestra, Killing Floor and the very recent Dungeon Defenders are all great examples of how a mod can make a successful transition to a full game. Others like Damnation have turned out less successful. The Haunted: Hell’s Reach was originally the winning mod of the 2010 Make Something Unreal competition and the full version of the cooperative demon slaying third person shooter has finally been released. It will be interesting to see which category The Haunted: Hells’ Reach falls into.
In The Haunted: Hell’s Reach, up to four players take control of four playable characters who must fight off a demonic invasion using a variety of weapons. There isn’t much story to it and this is clearly one of the game’s biggest shortcomings, another being the lack of any sort of single player campaign. The closest thing the game has to single player is a solo play mode across the game’s two modes.
