Set a Course for...Adventure? Maybe?
As a space game fan, I am insanely, INSANELY thankful of all the space games coming out of late. When I began this blog, I thought I’d barely have any new games to write about, but now I’m drowning in ‘em. One of these is a Chrome-only browser-based space-based arena combat game entitled Moon Breakers and…it sure is something. Read on to find out what I thought of the game. (more…)
Every Big Meal Starts with a Menu....
I have a confession to make. I never played the original Sins of a Solar Empire for more than five minutes, and only once. The reasons for this are personal and varied, and aren’t the fault of the original game in the slightest. Therefore, it was with no small amount of trepidation that I approached this…sequel?

Epic Menu Battles!!
When I first began this site nearly six months ago (!), one of the games I promised to preview was an interesting looking indie title named Starfarer. I had played the alpha a bit and enjoyed it way back when, but sadly I got caught up in reviews and such. With a new version coming out — which is out today, by the way — I contacted the game’s author a week ago for a preview. After diving into the game for a bit, I’m ready to tell y’all what I think…
