As a new feature for GiN, we will occasionally be taking a look back at games from simpler times that were published many years ago. This week we spotlight Start-up, a game about building a business empire during the roaring 2000s.
GiN is looking waaaay back as a fun feature during these trying times. We will occasionally be taking a look at games from simpler days that were published many years ago. Up first, The Sims from February 2000, a title that many of us lost a lot of hours exploring.
Frostpunk: The Last Autumn takes us to a time in the award-winning game when the frost has not yet killed the entire world. But we know what is coming, which makes your building and people-managing skills all the more critical.
Tank Mechanic Simulator takes the popular mechanic simulator series and turns it towards a mission of finding and fixing up historic tanks that served in World War II. Some of these wrecks are in terrible shape, but your tools, skills and elbow grease can make them ready to roll again.
Crossroads Inn has a lot of potential to be a fun business simulation where medieval travelers come to your ever-growing establishment for mead and mayhem. Unfortunately, the AI path-finding seems to have the black plague, which seriously dampens the fun.
Williams Pinball: Volume 5 features three classic tables from the golden age of arcades. All are faithfully reproduced with beautiful graphics and accurate ball and gameplay physics. Tables in this volume include Tales of the Arabian Nights, Cirqus Voltaire and No Good Gofers.
Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts is the sequel to one of the best sniper-based adventure games ever created. This time around, developer CI Games has forgone much of the open-world wandering for tighter, Hitman-like missions packed with plenty of action and challenge.
Counter Terrorist Agency tasks you with fighting the war on terror from a management perspective. That means staring at screens, wiretapping phones, studying texts and documents, and ordering others to go out and nab the bad guys. It can get dull, but is a unique experience nonetheless.
The long awaited third episode of The Long Dark has finally been released. Crossroads Elegy finds us playing as new survivor, Astrid. It also introduces many much needed improvements and quite a few cool (or perhaps ice cold) gameplay features and quests alongside the continuing story.
We have been watching 704 Games develop their NASCAR title and improve it over the years. With NASCAR Heat 4, they have practically achieved racing perfection. Fans of NASCAR or just racing games in general need to take NASCAR Heat 4 out on the track for a very fast spin.
