When I first heard about War Front: Turning Point, I pretty much ignored it. First, it’s from a Hungarian developer that I don’t know a lot about, so it was under my radar. Second, Company of Heroes satisfies my WWII fix. Third, I’m sure I played the plot about Hitler being assassinated last year in […]

Changing Tastes?
March 23rd, 2007 · Comments Off on Changing Tastes? · RTS, Sci Fi
I can’t say too much about Command & Conquer 3 until my review is finally written and uploaded, but I will say that it gives me more reasons to buy Supreme Commander.
