Polaris Sector Review
Polaris Sector is a game that I really wanted to like, and it does quite a few things well in it’s pursuit of enjoyment. The problem arises when one considers the overall experience, it just feels a bit clustered at times. That isn’t to say it’s terrible, but at times it’s a bit perplexing. The
New Stellaris Dev Diary details Alliances and Federations
Paradox’s unbelievably grand 4X game, Stellaris is just getting better. The recent dev diary released details the addition of Alliances and Federations. Alliances work similar to member-nation style congresses in the modern day. Resolutions such as war declarations must be approved by the members of an alliance in order to be carried out-so carry out

Battlefleet Gothic: Armada shows off Imperium of Man in action
Focus and Tindalos Interactive have shared more Battlefleet Gothic: Armada footage today which showcases the Imperium Fleet.

Paradox shows off massive scale of Stellaris
Paradox Interactive has made a name for itself by perfecting the Grand Strategy genre. They’ve become synonymous with grand-scale realtime strategy to the point that their games are the first thing most people think of when talking about said genre. Stellaris, their entry into the space-based 4X (eXplore-eXpand-eXploit-eXterminate) genre is a continuation of that legacy.
Ceres Review
Ceres is a game that sounded great on paper. A sandbox-lite game where the player commands a growing fleet of starships through a series of encounters, collects resources, and acquires new and more powerful technology. The first screenshots I saw solicited a feeling of nostalgia for the Homeworld series and I was instantly excited to
Rebel Galaxy Beginners Guide
Rebel Galaxy is a game that succeeds in conveying complex mechanics in a simple fashion. The player has a plethora of choices to undertake in the game, and each one appear quite daunting at first. This guide should function as a primer of sorts on the various mechanics and ways to use them to your
Rebel Galaxy Review
Rebel Galaxy is a game built on the question of “fight or flight?”. At all times while playing there is the constant threat of combat wrecking the ship you’ve expended tons of effort to procure. This is the first point where Rebel Galaxy shines. The combat model breaks away from the 3D maneuvering of other
Starpoint Gemini 2 Titans DLC Preview

Paradox details new 4X game, Stellaris
Paradox has introduced their next major game. A space-based exploration 4X game, Stellaris. It’s rare for Paradox to leave Earth behind in favor of a completely new experience, but it’s something fans have been demanding for years. Recognizable Paradox elements like pausable real-time gameplay and large multiplayer sessions will still play a huge part in
No Man’s Sky gets 20 minutes of gameplay in preview
A lot of confusion surrounds No Man’s Sky, mostly as to what exactly players get to do in the expansive space exploration game. The allure of exploring an infinite foreign universe will be appealing to the type of players who enjoy exploration more than space-trucking or combat. This IGN preview will show off much of
Galactic Civilizations 3 Gets Release Date
Stardock gets ready to launch its 4X strategy title next month. Already up on Steam Early Access, Galactic Civilizations 3 is a 64-bit title that the team says is its “largest and most diverse strategy sandbox to date.” Hexes are in instead of squares, there’s multiplayer, and Steam Workshop support should allow for extensive modding.
Gratuitous Space Battles 2 Released
The incredible Cliff Harris has released another great game. I’ve wasted hours on his other games like Democracy and GTB. And GSBII looks to be no different. Prepare to waste hours blowing up space pixels. Gratuitous Space Battles 2 continues the trend set by its predecessor, providing more massive fleet battle action in a new
Sid Meier’s Starships Released
