Star Armada Review (iPad) March 30th, 2012 by Kyle Rees Overall I think that Star Armada finds a nice balance between depth and simplicity for the intended device it is developed for. Category: Game Reviews 6 comments

Distant Star Review March 13th, 2012 by Kyle Rees For those of you not familiar with Distant Star, it is the first space strategy game to launch on the iPad. Your goal is simple, dominate the galaxy. Category: Game Reviews 2 comments

Blue Libra Review February 10th, 2012 by Adam Solo Blue Libra is a small, yet fun, and very addicting space game, that can give you some hours of good spacey entertainment. Category: Game Reviews 6 comments

Sword of the Stars II: Lords of Winter Review January 30th, 2012 by Adam Solo Three months after release (more than the producers had announced they needed to put the game in a playable state), I'm writing Sword of the Stars II's review. Category: Game Reviews 15 comments

Distant Worlds: Legends Review December 12th, 2011 by Adam Solo If Master of Orion 2 was the 4X space strategy gaming reference of the nineties, then Distant Worlds Legends is the 4X space strategy gaming reference of the early XXI century. Category: Game Reviews 91 comments

Starbase Orion Review November 5th, 2011 by Kyle Rees Starbase Orion has undeniably achieved its goals of providing an experience similar to Master of Orion with better Multiplayer. This is great news for 4x gamers on the iOS as this genre is still rare on the Apple App store. Category: Game Reviews 20 comments

Distant Worlds: Return of the Shakturi Review October 10th, 2011 by Adam Solo DW RotS made me feel in control of the lives and hopes of my civilization, I cared for them and could feel immersed in a huge galaxy interacting with other alien races. Category: Game Reviews 13 comments

Star Ruler “Gold” Review September 28th, 2011 by Adam Solo I thought this was the perfect timing to do a Star Ruler's (re)review since it seems to have reached a stable version and is now being sold in a box set following the Blind Mind Studios publishing agreement with Iceberg Interactive.

Stellar Impact Review September 9th, 2011 by Adam Solo The somewhat complex skill system of Stellar Impact, the personnel passive skills, the number of ships and its skills should be more than enough to satisfy you and keep you entertained. Category: Game Reviews 8 comments

10 Min Space Strategy Review June 18th, 2011 by Adam Solo In Goblin Lunatics' own words 10 Min Space Strategy is a free "compact, quick turn-based 4x (space) strategy" PC game. Their intention was to make a not so complex space strategy game that still requires the player to decide a great deal of strategy. Category: Game Reviews 21 comments

Sword of the Stars Complete Collection – Review May 31st, 2011 by Zachary Cryer Sword of the Stars is a solid 4X game that I recommend to fans of simpler games, or perhaps newcomers. For people who want more control over their empire, there are better options. SotS is like MoO1, so if you preferred the MoO2 you may want to pass this one by. Category: Game Reviews 8 comments

Space Pirates and Zombies (SPAZ) BETA Review (version 0.9.0005) May 29th, 2011 by Kyle Rees I would recommend this game to fans of the genre. While I have personally made comparisons to Star Control II, SPAZ has certainly earned its own place among this type of games. Category: Game Reviews 2 comments

Distant Worlds Review February 13th, 2011 by Adam Solo Distant Worlds is a nice attempt to create a huge living universe full of things going on that allow the user to choose the degree of control he wants. Category: Game Reviews 6 comments

Sid Meier’s Civilization 5 Review December 28th, 2010 by Adam Solo Civilization 5 is the latest installment of the Civilization series and while the matrix of the series remains intact this sequel promises to innovate in one important aspect of the game, the combat system.

Star Ruler Review September 7th, 2010 by Adam Solo Star Ruler provides all the ingredients for a fair 4x space strategy game but fails in many ways in providing solid, interesting and fun features. But if you're a hardcore fan of the genre probably you'll want to give it a try. Category: Game Reviews 12 comments

Gratuitous Space Battles Review July 22nd, 2010 by Adam Solo Gratuitous Space Battles is a strategy and simulation game that does not contain all the traditional elements of a 4x space strategy game but rather concentrates in ship design and space battles. Category: Game Reviews 5 comments

Armada 2526 Review March 7th, 2010 by Adam Solo Armada 2526 follows on the footsteps of games like Master of Orion 2, the Space Empires series, Galactic Civilizations series, StarTrek: BotF and many other sci-fi TBS titles. In this sense Armada 2526 provides the traditional 4x TBS space strategy gaming experience. Category: Game Reviews 10 comments

Sins of a Solar Empire – Trinity – Review February 21st, 2010 by Adam Solo Sins Trinity is a very nicely done game. It excels on providing a rich gaming experience that will entertain you for many hours. Ironclad and Stardock deserve an applause for having created a game that successfully mixes the RTS mechanic with the 4x genre in fantastic way. Category: Game Reviews 6 comments

Master of Orion 2: The Formula behind the Success August 31st, 2009 by Adam Solo From time to time a game appears that revolutionalizes and makes itself the standard for a gaming genre. Released in 1996 by Microprose, Master of Orion 2 Battle at Antares is undoubtedly considered the reference for 4x space strategy games. Category: Game Reviews 31 comments

Ogame Review, Tips and Strategy Guide July 26th, 2009 by Adam Solo Playing Ogame is like a breath of fresh air brought to the space strategy 4x gaming experience since it offers the possibility to play anywhere I have an internet connection while offering a rich and free multiplayer experience.
