Rob Pitt writes: Railway Empire is the latest resource management/simulation/strategy game published by Kalypso Media – they love this genre and I love them for doing so. Not only this, the developers of the game are Gaming Minds – to those who aren’t familiar with their work, they are behind the brilliant Patrician and Port Royale series’! Railway Empire takes you on a (train)journey from 1830-1910 as you take part in the race to establish the most dominant and powerful rail empire in all of North America. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t excited about this game, who wouldn’t want to run their own empire of steam trains as you mercilessly sabotage, buy out and take over other budding competitors all while managing your resources to ensure your trains run as efficiently as the spies you send to steal your competitors research? So, come with me as we see if the hype(train) was real and Railway Empire really is the choo choo-sen one, or if it’s bought itself a one-way ticket to nowhere…
The Humble Best of Kalypso Bundle is out now. It includes some of the best games from the German video game developer and publisher Kalypso Media.

All that changes today though as we head off to the land of the Rising Sun, taking in the twisted paths of Japan."
