Forum: The Arena

Well either Brad deliberately misled us about the date so as to surprise us, or someone let the cat out of the bag a day early, because Gamespy has released an (apparently) exclusive first look at Stardock's new PC title. :jumping: A fairly interesting feature is your leader/avatar, known...

Official site IGN announcement Switching from tiles to hexes, less abstract combat (i.e., no stacking), improved diplomatic AI.... Damn, I think I might actually have to get this one!

The game is now officially out in America so it's time for the gameplay thread. As requested by arena patrons, it's a zero spoiler tolerance thread. After precisely one month the thread will relax to the standard spoiler policy. Until that time: All spoilers must go into spoiler tags! However...

Someone posted recently about the gangster game Mafia. I was a big fan of the original PC version when it came out and it is still on my PC now as one of my sand box games. If you never played it, it is similar to the Grand Theft Auto games, but set in the 1930's gangster era---Tommy guns...

http://www.pcgamersworld.com/2010/07/1c-company-announces-real-warfare-2-northern-crusades/?action=register&instance=tml-1 Real Warfare 2 Northern Crusades is the next step in this series of realistic real-time strategy games covering various periods in the development of the present day...

Is no one else getting inordinately excited about the release (March 20th in the US)??

For me, it was a PC strategy title called Stars! Supernova Genesis (or SSG for short). It was to be a sequel to Stars!, a game which is generally considered a staple of the space 4x sub-genre. SSG was going to keep most of the gameplay of the original, but with updated graphics, artwork, ship...

I saw a mention in the gaming news thread about the release date being moved to April 18th for RockStar's new action/shooter "Red Dead Redemption", but thought it might deserve a thread of it's own. If the gameplay only half matches what is shown in the videos at the game-site, this is...

http://www.slitherine.com/box/BBCBA_Box_Medium.jpg At The Lordz Games Studio we are proud and happy to give you a first look into another great strategy game we are co-developing with the boys from Slitherine. BBC Battlefield Academy is a spectacular 3D turn based tactical strategy game set in...

Ever wish you could actually get in on the sword-swingin' action on Medieval and crack some skulls? Well now you can! The game is Mount and Blade, at www.taleworlds.com, and its a realistic combat/rpg game with loads of different weapons and armor. You can even ride down peasantry as a lance...

We all love Games, we all love legal games, but we all hate those overpriced tags underneath them. We will avoid games simply because we feel about parting the money. Here comes the Special Offers, this can be ranging from 75% off, to 25% off, allowing you the chance to buy and play that game...

One week to release. Anyone here intending to pick it up? I did rather like the original Vicky, pre expansion pack. I've not played the Revolutions version enough to form an opinion on it. So I'm rather interested in the sequel and plan to pick it up once I know it's not buggy and/or missing...

I'm going to buy this as soon as the price goes for under $40 after tax and shipping. My concern is; Does the game still have command hierarchy like in Battlefield 2? I know you can only speak to your squad, but I was wondering whether there is one guy determining where people go, what people see...

Facebook page Paradox forums thread Well well, I certainly wasn't expecting this. (I'm not complaining, though!) While I find it to be irritatingly gimmicky, I'll probably jump anyway. I've heard lots of good things about the original CK, and would be very interested in a sequel.

Will moderate this forum.

Free Game by Value on Steam. It is a top-down shooter, wheree you work in co-op mode, in different classes such as techs, medics, weapons, etc, and go through stages doing several things, etc. I am enjoying it, I only had a little playthrough, but I would love to hook-up with some Orgah's for...

I've been wanting to open a topic about that for quite some time, but only do so now. There's a sale going on at gamersgate. The list of games on sale changes every week, it's already the second week and will last two more. I got Titan Quest Gold Edition, Loki and King's Bounty Gold Edition...

http://www.slitherine.com/img/Pages/Commander%20Great%20War/Episode1/CTGWLogo.png Each month, we will release a preview focusing on a few factions present in the game. These will feature some historical background, their role in the war and in the game, and a number of units essential to these...

Yeah, it's really difficult. Normally, that is. But you can get achievement credit if you do expert campaigns in mutations as well. And the mutation this week gives everyone a M60 machine gun - one of the highest damage guns in game - with unlimited ammo. So, anyone want to rack up some...

For many a year many fans of Paradox's Crusader Kings have desired a sequel. Paradox has responded. They calim that if 25,000 fans join the group on facebook (http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=551672251#!/Crusaderkings) They will announce the production of Crusader Kings 2. I belive this is a...

This game is rediculously fun in multiplayer, think Diablo 2 meets Halo, it's a shooter and an rpg in one, terribly addictive. But it kinda depends on the players, more so than other games.

http://uk.pc.gamespy.com/pc/starcraft-2/790124p1.html http://uk.media.pc.gamespy.com/media/850/850126/imgs_1.html It looks a hell of a lot like the first one. Even the units and buildings look the same.

\/ Pretty much ripped that from another forum, but this game looks awesome, if not a little too ambitious. I'm keeping my eye on it. Watch these first http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7eREddMjt4&feature=player_embedded&fmt=22 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3muhlQYFgLE&feature=related&fmt=22 ...

I'm not gonna post the same thing twice, so just click this link.

Website (mostly non-functioning at this point) Press release

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOaFJQ2G7Hs U.S. Navy Fighters 97. One of my favourite games all time, I still have the original CD and the super-incredible manual that is really a tome of knowledge about military aicraft and dogfighting. Anyone here played it?

So I'm a LEGO fanboy and I just received my LEGO Universe BETA Key. Let me just say.... EPIC! For those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about: LEGO Universe Impressions It has every kind of LEGO brick ever made featured in it, and the way it allows you to build with them is so...

From the footage I have seen, this is one promising little piece of hardware. An analogue stick, about bloody time, in combination with the touchscreen and the insane 3d 'window' this is going to rock so hard. The graphical capability of this badboy mobs up the psp and throws it in a bucket. Since...
