World’s Dawn is a Kickstarter-funded effort to create a fun life simulator game that is styled very much after the Harvest Moon series. So how close does it come, and yea, is it actually any good? We create a character and find out.
The original Homeworld game broke new ground in 3D space RTS combat. Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak tries to do the same thing for ground pounders, and for the most part, greatly succeeds. Mount up for intense, real-time desert combat!
Hard West offers an excellent turn-based strategy game that includes supernatural elements, cults, and even the devil himself. Playing Hard West is thus a non-stop rollercoaster of events that still manages to be interesting despite some being told in Choose Your Own Adventure Style.
Remaking a classic game like Turok is sometimes hit or miss, but Iguana Entertainment and Night Dive Studios have done a great job breathing new life into the original dinosaur hunter. Yes, there are a few issues, but incredible level design and pure nostalgia more than make up for it.

We thought that Coast Guard would be a simulation of the generally least-covered branch of the service, but it turns out that it’s more of an adventure type game with a heavy Coast Guard theme. Which may actually be a good thing.
Tales from the Borderlands takes the beloved shooter’s source material and redeploys it as a clever, well-written story-based adventure as only Telltale Games could successfully pull off.
