I’m back!

I’ve added bunch of reviews, moved many games to 2009 and most of all added plenty of new titles. I still have some indie titles to catch up as well as plenty of Games Convention materials to dig through, so expect another update pretty soon

2008

Hinterland
A fantasy city builder from Tilted Mill (Caesar IV, Children of the Nile)

Three Cards to Midnight
Brand new adventure game from Chris Jones and Aaron Conners, creators of the beloved Tex Murphy series.

Ancient Quest of Saqqarah
This, my friends, is how you do a match-three puzzle game. If you have any interest in the genre, then Ancient Quest of Saqqarah should be at the top of your list– 8.5 from Out of Eight website

Shelled!
Don’t be fooled by the comparatively simple 3-D presentation: there’s an addictive action game contained in Shelled! Online. It takes the best aspects of Scorched Earth and adds in a 3-D environment, tons of weapons, and methodical real-time gameplay. Gamers who enjoy fast-paced games won’t like Shelled! Online, but I do enjoy the tense limited movement and physics-based mechanics. I think if the game looked more like a AAA title, then more people would be drawn to its infectious gameplay. There are a handful of small improvements that could be made to polish up the game, but the title is good enough to be quite enjoyable.– 7.5 from Out of Eight website

Out of park baseball 9
Out of the Park Baseball 9 doesn’t add a lot to an already fantastic formula, but a host of small refinements make it the best game in the history of the franchise.– 8.5 from Gamespot

Pro Cycling Manager 2008
If you are looking for a complete cycling game, then Pro Cycling Manager 2008 is for you. However, the unique focus makes the game a little tough to recommend to a widespread audience.– 7.5 from Out of Eight website
