Chris Buffa (Modojo): Command the high seas and steal treasure in Crimson: Steam Pirates, a thoroughly enjoyable collaboration between Harebrained Schemes and Bungie, the developer best known for its work on the Halo franchise. That alone should pique your interest. The fact that the game's free is an added bonus.
Grab It Magazine details its top 10 best pirate games of all time across all gaming platforms.
Excellent list! Love the addition of Donkey Kong Countey 2. Though putting Black Flag in front of Monkey Island is sure to ruffle some feathers. :)
Good list, and the whole list is on 1 page, which is great. easy to read :) Well done!
Would have thought Zack and Wiki (Wii) would have gotten a mention though, considering the positive reviews it received.
I was curious if Zack and Wiki would make it on there. Wish there was a sequel or port.
My fave AC game by far, awaiting my third replay. Watched Black Sails a few weeks back and made me want to play it again.
Would Zelda: Wind Waker classify for this list? Marginal, but potentially.
I remember another game when I was a kid called Taipan, but have never been able to find it again. Was almost text-based, super old-school. But I loved it.
It was a close call, but in the end I decided to leave Wind Waker off the list. Fantastic game though!
This just reminded me- where the heck is Inafune's Kaio: King of Pirates? I know he's been a busy guy, but there hasn't really been any word on it since 2013 (when it was given a 2014 release).
Ahh these were a close call. If I had an 'honourable mentions' list, they certainly would have made it on there.
Quality Index dons its eye patch and considers the finest pirate-themed games on iPad.
John Bedford (Modojo): With the release of Ace Patrol last week, we've found ourselves dipping back into our collection of mobile turn-based strategy games. We might still be waiting for a full Civilization experience on our touchscreens, but there are still plenty of top-notch games to get stuck into in the meantime. Here's our pick of the bunch.
