Immortal Realms: Vampire Wars – Review

Immortal Realms: Vampire Wars is a turn-based strategy game developed by Palindrome Interactive and published by Kalypso Media.

XCOM: Chimera Squad – Review

I remember seeing an edition of XCOM (XCOM: Enemy Unknown) many years ago and thinking, ‘What is this alien rampage shooter thingy?’ Shortly thereafter, I found myself strangely addicted to its turn-based battle style game. It blew my mind that the 2012 game I was currently lost in was actually

Gears Tactics – Review

What would you get if XCom and Gears Of War had a baby? Well, if you guessed Gears Tactics, you would be right. The Gears of War franchise has always been a fast paced type of game that has always raised pulses and taken names. Gears Tactics is no exception,
