New Gamer Nation writes: "The real-time strategy genre of games has been on a hiatus of sorts. Back in the 90’s, games like Command & Conquer, Total Annihilation and Starcraft captivated a wide range of gamers. They were easily some of the most popular games of the time. However, as the graphics of modern games got better, the obsessive love for this genre diminished. While some may say that this is where the story ends, things tend to come back in style and it seems that the RTS genre is due for a resurgence. We saw signs of life with Microsoft developing the Age of Empires license and the existence of Planetary Annihilation through Kickstarter, but Grey Goo is a return to form and proves there is interest in the sleeping genre yet."
Grey Goo blends classic, established gameplay mechanics and tropes with modern design tools and technology to create a thoughtful, exhilarating strategy experience.
How often can you pick up a good game for less than R50? How about eight great games for R47? The new Indie Legends 5 bundle from Bundle Stars packs eight of the best Indie titles of the year (valued at over R1400) into one great bundle, and it only costs $3.49 (R47.22)!
VGChartz's Taneli Palola: "Sometimes a video game composer's entire career can be defined by his or her work on a single franchise, regardless of how many other soundtracks they may have created over the course of their career. In many ways, this is exactly what happened to the person we're talking about today - Frank Klepacki. He is one of the most prominent and prolific western video game composers of the past 25 years, having worked in the industry since he was 17 years old."
I recently bought the C&C Ultimate Edition ($8 special from Amazon) which included 17 C&C titles. It came with a bunch of tracks from the series and they're now on my MP3 player in my car. I've been rolling around blasting Hell March and others for the past week fantasizing about directing Mammoth tanks to blow up other vehicles in my way in traffic. Lol!
Ever since I first played the first C&C back in the 90's, I've been a huge fan of Klepacki's work. The man is a true legend.
