Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel puts you in a typical Fallout post-apocalyptic wasteland. But unlike other Fallouts, this game focuses on combat and removes role-playing to a large extent.
You lead a team of up to six, recruiting members between battles, and each member with his or her own stats such as perception, luck, charisma, […]
Papers, Please puts you in the hotseat of an immigration officer in a fictional country of Arstotzka where you get to decide who gets in, and who doesn’t.
As you sit in your booth, you call people to show their papers. You check whether the names, serial numbers, dates and data match. If all is good, […]
Cities in Motions 2 is a transport management simulator. Your role in this is to build roads, build transit systems and ensure people are pleased with your public transit system. Much like the real world, it’s a tough job. You’ll need to raise money, find out which routes will make you more money, and if […]
Theme Hospital is a hospital management sim with tons of humour injected in it. You manage funds, build rooms with different functions, manage research priorities, hiring of staff including doctors, nurses, handymen and receptionist. You start off with a hospital that is absolutely empty, and every start of the month, you’ll be frantically looking for […]
SimCity 4 is a city building simulator. As the mayor of a plot of land of various sizes, the goal is to build something that you want. There are no goals in this game – so you can build a city that rivals New York City with a massive subway system, massive elevated highways and […]

Future patches might change it, but as of now, you’re stuck with either playing it on an external display or a different […]
Uplink is a very unique game. Even up until today, there hasn’t been a game this similar to Uplink, and it has been over ten years…
It’s hard to classify this game. In a sense, it’s a game where you take on the role as a hacker, using programs to crack passwords, your wits to […]
Recently, I’ve been hooked on transport management games. I played Cities in Motion, a game where you have to manage the public transport system in different cities such as Berlin, Helsinki and Tokyo. Interestingly, in that game, people in Tokyo drive on the right, while streets in Berlin look more North American than European.
That […]
Holy mother of addictive god. As if Lords of the Realm 2 isn’t extremely addictive already, I recently installed Rollercoaster Tycoon 2, and these two games have been keeping my neck strained as I hunch down to look at my netbook […]
I have often triumphed a truth about games – good graphics, great sound and a great storyline is nice to have, but these elements don’t make the game. There are games out there which you play once, and then never play it again, until, perhaps, nostalgia hits you, and then there are games out […]
