Fantasy Wars (PC) - updated

Germany — 

Chances are that a hexagon and turn based strategy game from a Russian developer is not exactly what you're looking for in a time where World of Conflict is out and Empire Earth 3 is coming up. But for all those 300 people worldwide who still fondly remember SSI's Fantasy General, more...

No. Actually I am just making fun with this caption. more...

And Yet It Moves (PC)

Germany — 

And Yet It Moves is a very neat and charming game for the coffee break, which lets you play as a character made out of paper moving through landscapes that mostly consist of ripped paper as well, which leads to a very arty style of the game. Your mobility is quite restricted, because you can only move to the left and the right as well as jump. more...

Warhammer 40K Squad Command (DS)

You'll read this pun in other reviews to the game often enough. more...

Austria — 

Portal is a puzzle type game, in which you place portals to make your way to the end of each level. You shoot a small energy ball which opens a portal on impact.

Portal starts with babysteps. You begin with a minimalistic UI (only a crosshair) and nothing in your hands while you listen to a nice voice which tells you what's going on. more...

Shadowgrounds (PC)

Germany — 

It might at first glance sound a bit odd to talk about reviewing an oldie here, for as far as we know it from the music industry oldies can mostly be found in the 50's, 60's or 70's; and this is an era where the roots of Shadowgrounds obviously don't lie. more...
