English Hero FM 2012 Achievement: Winning promotion from the Championship
It’s taken a while to find the time to finish off the English Hero achievement, but this Christmas holiday finally saw my Stalybridge Celtic side promoted to the Premiership. As expected winning the Championship was beyond us and in the early part of the season it didn’t look like we’d be getting anywhere near the […]

English Hero FM 2012 Achievement: Winning the npower League 1
If you’ve been promoted straight up the leagues in successive seasons and you have a small club like Stalybridge Celtic then you’ll be disappointed to learn that any money you manage to generate is swallowed up by the requirement to expand the stadium for entry to the next league. A slight wage budget increase was […]

Warlock: Master of the Arcane Review
The original Majesty game offered a welcome twist for the RTS genre. Hiring a bunch of mercenary heroes and desperately bribing them to kill a multitude of monsters was a whole new kind of challenge. The developers Cyberlore Studios apparently planned a sequel but couldn’t secure a publisher and so after the expansion pack in […]

English Hero FM 2012 Achievement: Winning the npower League 2

I kept the majority of my good performers at Stalybridge Celtic from the BSN promotion and signed a few new faces. Once again I recommend putting all your resources into wages and only sign free […]

Tropico 4: Modern Times Review
You don’t often find city building sims infused with a political flavour but the Tropico series isn’t like other games. I’ve been hooked since the Gathering of Developers released the original back in 2001. Combining addictive tycoon style gameplay with a Caribbean island backdrop during the Cold War was genius. It offered a satirical look […]

Defenders of Ardania Review: Tower Defense Attack and Defend
What’s that? A tower defense game where you get to attack and defend? Blended with the Majesty universe you say? Defenders of Ardania is it? Well sign me up. Awesome idea, this looks pretty good. Nice, they even got the same Sean Connery impersonator to do the voice of your advisor. Hmm seems a bit […]
