Sorcerer King Main Menu

It’s been a while since I wrote anything here and honestly, this was mostly because I didn’t play anything to write about until now. Sorcerer King is the latest game in the series of 4x games made by Stardock. As far as I can tell, it’s placed in the same universe as Elemental: War of Magic and Elemental: Fallen Enchantress, and it’s pretty good, fun game. As any other game of this type I’ve tried, though, it fails to capture the feeling Master of Magic was able to offer decades ago.

I get what the controversy is about and where it’s coming from, but I’ve been trying to stay positive lately, so instead of saying why I hate a game I probably won’t ever play, I thought I’d play the first Dungeon Keeper and talk about why I love it. First, however, I have a confession to make.Continue reading

Giants of Reus going to sleep.

What is Reus? I have no idea, and I’ve played it for about 3 to 4 hours now. As the title says, it’s weird. In a good way, but still weird. In any case, I feel I’ve played it enough to say something about it, so here goes. I wonder how this new posting format will work.
