A new challenger appears…
Who is this that is now writing for Troll In The Corner?! Why, it's Phil Kilcrease, board gamer and all around good egg!
Continue reading...Legio is a turn based strategy games mashed up with chess
Wednesday, May 5, 2010
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.

Wednesday, March 31, 2010
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.

Monday, March 8, 2010
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.
Continue reading...Sid Meier’s Civ V to hit the shelves this fall for PC gamers. There goes my winter.
Thursday, February 18, 2010
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.

Tuesday, February 9, 2010
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.

Monday, February 8, 2010
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.
Continue reading...Green Man Games to allow you to resell your digital game downloads?
Thursday, January 21, 2010
"Green Man Gaming today revealed a new digital games retail platform that monetises the digital pre-owned market." That is straight from their very limited press release and roughly translates into "We'll give you cash or cash-equivalent for your legally downloaded games." Uh. . . wow? That's a new twist on the used game market for sure and could mean I can finally get rid of my older Steam catalog, right?
Continue reading...EA and Del Ray and Dante team up to go to Hell
Tuesday, January 12, 2010
In what I can only describe as a slight blow to literature everywhere but an interesting opportunity for literate gamers, Dante’s Inferno is being republished. In book form. By Electronic Arts. Oh, with Del Ray (ne Ballantine ne Random House) doing the bulk of the dead tree work. Don’t worry though, the fine folks who [...]

Thursday, December 10, 2009
I have very distinct memories of burning quarters at the arcade on a new kind of video game which featured not computer graphics but gosh darned actual animation. Dragon’s Lair made a huge splash at my local arcade and people lined up to jam that joystick to the left, the left! The LEFT DAMMIT! Now [...]
