Legio is a turn based strategy games mashed up with chess

Paradox Interactive has an interesting title on the horizon. Legio! It's a turn based strategy game (yay!) that features a chess like board and what looks to be combats between units. At a $9.99 price point for the download this game falls right into impulse buy territory. With the option for single player or two player the game is also interesting enough to intrigue me. Look for the game on May 21. Look for a few screen shots and a press release after the jump.

Paradox Interactive gives two forum users lifetime access to all their titles

I think this is just plain old cool. Paradox Interactive recently snagged their 200,000th forum member. They gave that person, plus another randomly selected forum member each lifetime access to every Paradox game ever, past, present and future.

Scribblenauts 2 announced as I buy a new stylus

My all time favorite game for the DS is just about to get a new installment. Scribblenauts was one of the few games that ate up more than three or four hours on my DS and actually caused a bit of ire between my wife and I as we made desperate run/jumps for it after the kids went to bed.

Hellion shows off a bunch of in game shots.  Looks very pretty, in a manly, gaming kind of way.

I've been following Hellion's development for a little while now. I'm much more interested in this game then I was in Dante's Inferno. This is shaping up to be more of an experience and less of a God of War clone. I like that.

Sid Meier’s Civ V to hit the shelves this fall for PC gamers.  There goes my winter.

I have and always will have a soft spot in my heart for all of Sid's Civ games. Starting with number I I have probably logged a good thousand hours on various Civ franchises and enjoyed every hour. Now there's a new Civilization on the horizon - Civ V! Yes, built on a new engine from 'the ground up' as is standard practice when creating new versions of the game. Looks pretty sharp too. Here are some facts and screen shots. Also in the works - Civ Network, a Civ based game for . . . Facebook? Woah.

Mount & Blade Warband – Interview video with Armagan Yavuz, lead developer

Mount & Blade was a game that was first brought to my attention a few years ago when it was just a beta, looking for some love. It took me a while but I finally got around to playing it and now I'm kicking myself for not picking it up much earlier. I've had it now for just over a year and it's one of two or three games I consistently return to when I've finished with The Next Big Thing.

Age of Zombies = time travel, shooting zombies in the head and retro cuteness

There, I said it. "Cute". Not normally a word I associate with violent death, undead hunger and head shots. Age of Zombies features protagonist Barry Steakfries as he hops through time destroying undead brains, battling what looks like giant robots and there's something about a zombie T-Rex too.
