No, it’s not a Resident Evil/Star Wars crossover… After being chased by rabid undead hordes in Left 4 Dead 2 firing projectiles willy nilly, it’s somewhat comforting to hear the words ‘Aim for the head!’ beckoned from your dunderhead of an ally.

Jagged Edge? Jagged edges, to be more precise. This is a game that is oddly reminiscent of Jagged Alliance 2. Well, actually, no. It’s not oddly reminiscent at all. If you took a bunch of carbon and copied it, you’d maybe get the same result. That’s if you took away some of the carbon and …

Despite being a great game, the original Assassin’s Creed was heavily criticised for becoming bogged down in repetition far too quickly, and a fantastic premise eventually became something of a grind fest. …
Maybe World War II wasn’t the best topic to choose… I expected something a lot better than what Order of War turned out to be, even though deep down I kept saying to myself,”Don’t, DON’T expect it to be a masterpiece!” Well it’s no masterpiece, it’s not trying to reinvent World War II strategy gaming, …
