From Big Bang Studios, and published by Alpha-Omega, comes Universe. Probably one of the oldest MMOs, though surprisingly few know much about it. The detail in this game rivals games like Warcraft, Dwarf Fortress, and even Minecraft. It is a simply amazing feat of engineering and game design.

I do this for a living and for fun.

From Iguana Entertainment and originally published by Acclaim, comes a first person shooter where you play as Turok, a Native American battling his way through dinosaurs, aliens, and robots, seeking the ultimate weapon to defend the universe from the evil “Campaigner”.

Welcome Back to Black Mesa
If there’s one thing I wish I could do with Half-Life, it’s wipe my memory and experience it for the first time again. Black Mesa doesn’t quite grant that wish, but it comes damn close.
The Scheme of the Gallant
Aegon and the Troupe have just managed to slay a wyrmling, a young dragon, at the request of the druid Selene. Unsure if it was the beast that Selene wished to be destroyed, the troupe make their way back through the spider’s nest to deliver its head to her.
Fall of Montreal and Quebec
I spent some time playing Total War: EMPIRE this week, and managed to make some real progress this time. I’m slowly learning how to play this game properly, but at the same time I’m learning about some of its flaws.
The Heroes of the Cloakwood
The Troupe makes their way through the Cloakwood, still searching for Tiber’s brother Chelak. They pull their way through ettercaps and spiders, webs and undergrowth, deeper into the wood. Each step taking them closer to Tazok, to the Iron Throne, to Gorion’s killer.
