Gaming Target: "Creating a video game that revolves around history instead of another gun and gore-focused first-person shooter is a very noble effort. However, when the technology and development involved seems more dated than the Civil War subject you're trying to portray, your game is as good as history. That's the case with Atari and 1C Company's Swashbucklers: Blue vs. Grey, as their PS2 game plays more like a free web-based adventure simulator. Only, this time traveling travesty will actually cost you money."
Bargain UK PC game publisher Extra Play announced today that hit is expanding its publication schedule for 2012 with new and rebooted titles in its £9.99 line of games.
Titles set to be launched this year include Falcon 4.0, 7.62, Ascension to the Throne, Death Track: Resurrection, El Matador and many more.

Do you remember when "Star Wars: Episode One" came out? It had been over 20 years since the first movie was released, and Star Wars fans everywhere were ready to revisit the universe. They came out in droves and waited hours for tickets, ultimately to be disappointed by what they felt was a lackluster attempt by George Lucas to recreate his accidental masterpiece. Swashbucklers: Blue vs. Grey falls along the same line. Going into it, everything you know about this game tells you that it should be incredible, but ultimately, weak presentation and boring gameplay cause it to fall apart.
