Apocalypse

Mod review

This is really a well-balanced mod with a great mix of crazy fun units and more grounded units as well whilst maintaining the vibe of Red Alert 2 - Yuri's Revenge.

System Shock 2

Game review

It is truly difficult to express how advanced and sublime this game is. Very advanced gameplay with immersive sim elements as well as truly dark and moody atmosphere. System Shock 2 is really just something you have to experience to understand. Building of the Dark Engine (used in the Thief games), System Shock 2 is a masterpiece in storytelling, philosophy, environments, gameplay systems, art, music, etc. Truly a worthy sequel that improves upon everything that the original did way back in 1994. This game still hasn't been bettered twenty four years later in its execution.

Game review

Awesome expansion pack to Dawn Of War.

Doom

Game review

Doom was of course extremely influential as a FPS, but also introduced modular extensions of the game (hence 'mods') as perhaps its greatest contribution to gaming. The engine, whilst advanced, was not lightyears ahead of other engines at the time (System Shock, Ultimate Underworld for example) and was an iteration on the Wolfenstein 3D engine. Doom exploded the popularity of violence in video games though and was definitely a landmark game.

Diablo II

Game review

Greatest Action RPG ever made. There really isn't much more to say about it. No Action RPG since Diablo 2 (and its expansion Lord Of Destruction) has unseated it. It's not just the gameplay, it is the presentation of the game, the art, the music, the atmosphere...just everything. Diablo 2 and its expansion is simply legendary, just in a league of its own. Twenty-three years later and it is still the greatest Action RPG ever. Absolute masterpiece.

Masterpiece of a game and such an awesome goth undertone that fits perfectly with the World Of Darkness. Redemption is sadly often overlooked, but is an incredibly rewarding experience. It is very difficult though and if you do not know what you are doing in terms of your builds, expect to pretty much be incapable of finishing the game. For those that put in the effort though, it is extremely immersive and captures the atmosphere and gameplay of the World Of Darkness perfectly.

Empire Earth II

Game review

Empire Earth 2 is an amazing RTS and definitely in the greatest of all time. Whilst I would not say it is as good as the original, it is not far off. The scope of Empire Earth 2 is smaller in terms of epochs/eras, but there is more detail per eras/epochs and overall a bit more depth to the strategy options. It is still a masterpiece of an RTS though and easily in the top ten ever made for me. If you love Empire Earth, Age Of Empires, Rise Of Nations and the like then you will definitely love Empire Earth 2. Just steer clear of the third game in the series.

Empire Earth

Game review

Empire Earth is a masterpiece of a game and sadly very overlooked in the RTS landscape. It is by far (and I mean this) the most ambitious RTS ever made spanning over twenty eras/epochs of human history with in-depth units on all battlefronts (sea, land and air). The scope of the game is just insane and there are many different civilizations to play. Think of Empire Earth as Age Of Empires on steroids then times that by an order of magnitude. I fell in love with Empire Earth and between the absolute crazy scale, awesome campaigns and active passionate communities you have a masterpiece RTS game.
