In the future there is only WAR! Welcome to the realm of Warhammer 40K. Space Hulk was originally a board game based in this universe, and now it is getting a proper port-to-PC treatment thanks to developer Full Control. While it is not this IP’s first attempt to be brought to life via video game format, it is by far, hands down, the best effort any developer has ever put towards doing it justice. Games Workshop is known world wide for it’s board, card, and miniature style games, so this really is a great IP for any developer to work with.
With the soon to be released Space Wolves DLC, now is the perfect time to invest in this game. I know the cost tends to throw some people off, but you have to keep in mind that this is a board game, and if you went to the store to buy the board game, you would spend $99.99 USD. Then you would have to put together each model, paint each model, and then after you got all of that done, you would still have to find a buddy to come over to the house to play it with you! Full Control enables you to play with anyone in the world at your own pace, without having to set the board up each time you want to play. So if you think about it in that context, the $29.99 USD price is a bargain!
A nameless evil is spreading throughout the land of Aventuria. As people are kidnapped, only to return stripped of their very souls, the people look for heroes to rescue them. What they get instead are an accused murderer and his band of outlaws. This is the premise of Blackguards, a strategic turn-based RPG from Daedalic Entertainment based on The Dark Eye tabletop RPG. Is the German development team’s first foray into the world of strategy RPGs a hit, or does Daedalic need a re-roll?
It’s been a while since we’ve seen much from Orcs Must Die! developer Robot Entertainment. After the amazing co-op success of Orcs Must Die! 2, they tested cross platform waters with the equally successful strategic combat game Hero Academy. Now it seems that after a stealthy mobile release, Robot Entertainment has brought their new game, Echo Prime, from iOS and Android over to the PC. Usually games from PC or console see ports over to the mobile space, but rarely do they cross from mobile to big screen. Was this a good idea and a trendsetter or a port best forgotten? Let’s find out!
