XCOM: Enemy Unknown – Five tips for defending Earth
After spending around fifteen hours of my first playthrough of XCOM : Enemy Unknown, I had all but completely lost Earth. My A team was annihilated, I was flat broke, UFO’s were ripping through my Raptors, my scientists and engineers were behind on projects and nearly every country abandoned the XCOM project. With each new deployment the situation became worse. Squadies were being sent out against Beserkers, Mutons and Hyderdiscs. A job well done meant at least one...

PAX : Hands on with XCOM: Enemy Unknown – Welcome to Erf
Strategy games? I freaking love them. I love the classic style of RTS games for sure, build your base, build units, destroy everything ever. Always a good time. XCOM : EU is not RTS though, it is turn based and fans love it. Instead of constructing a command center on each level, you build, create, customize, upgrade, and research from your XCOM headquarters. You’ll select which type of unit you’ll want to train/build. Then after that you’re able to name...
9Civilization V: Gods and Kings – Call Your Addiction Counselor
The following is a transcript from a nondescript clinic in the state of California. “Welcome everyone to the inaugural meeting of OMTA (One More Turn Anonymous). I am Counselor Rioux, and I see that we have a few faces in here, so why don’t we introduce ourselves and say why we are here. Let’s start with you sir” Points to man on his left “My name is Bob.” CR:”And why are you here today Bob?” Bob:”I am here because I fell...
Just…One…More…Turn Civilization 5: Gods and Kings Expansion.
We all lie to ourselves. We grow up saying to ourselves,”I’ll never get addicted to THAT“. But once you had a taste, you can’t help but just give in, and click,”Next Turn”. Seriously, in terms of addictive qualities, Civilization 5 should be the kind of stuff that gets one sent to the Betty Ford Clinic in California. Want to get heroin addicts off the smack? Introduce them to Civ 5. I mean, it may still result in them not being a...
