My review of Nethergate: Resurrection is up at Gameshark. The text pretty much says it all. I have a fondness for the Spiderweb games, so your mileage may vary. But if you like RPGs with tons of sidequests and turn based combat, you owe it to yourself to try the demo.

Galactic Assault Review
September 30th, 2007 · 1 Comment · Review, StrZone/XtrGamer
My review of Galactic Assault: Prisoner of Power is now up at Gamesquad. I give this a cautious recommendation. While much better than I thought it would be, I’ll admit to having very low expectations.

” This is the best PC game of the year, so far.”

Theatre of War
June 13th, 2007 · 3 Comments · Battlefront, Review, WW2
You can read my review of Theatre of War over at Gameshark. This is my first review for the site and hopefully not my last. Gamerankings converts the B- to a 75 which sounds a little high. The sense I’m trying to get here is “problematic, but worth a look.” I’m shooting for a low […]
