We’re Excited about the Warlords of Draenor WOW Expansion
Even though we enjoy an indie and non-mainstream game just as much as the next geek in our community, we have to confess we’re very much in love with Blizzard’s topmost creation, World of Warcraft. The game is so popular that it would be safe to say it became a mainstream cultural phenomenon, but it would still not do it the justice we think it deserves. We’ve been amazed with the game’s capacity to reinvent itself over the years, and now yet … [Read more...]

Civilization Game Review – 5 Reasons Why We Love This Game
The Civilization game is one of the best choices of strategy games for your PC or Mac (it also works on Xbox or PS3), requiring fairly little computer resources to run and being highly rewarding in terms of storyline and world feel.

Considering that it’s also free to play (after you buy it … [Read more...]
