Scouting, sniping, sneaking, and shooting: Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3 Review

A few months ago, I played through Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3’s beta and was roundly impressed. Needless to say, both my excitement and my expectations were running high prior to getting my hands on the full version after such an enjoyable beta. At the time of writing, I’ve

Orcs Must Die! Unchained: Let’s Play Episode #11

I’m a sucker for tower defense games and, as it happens, editor Hunter Wolfe just recently published his glowing review of Orcs Must Die! Unchained for PC. Being the gentlemen that he is, Hunter graciously offered to school me in the most efficient ways to exterminate hordes of orcs

Beautiful but bittersweet: Dawn of War III Review

The Dawn of War franchise is divisive. The first two entries in the series are a bit like geometry and trigonometry—you only enjoy one or the other, not both (real talk: no one actually likes math). It’s been said many times before, but it’s worth repeating: Dawn

Capturing Wildlands’ infamous DJ: Let’s Play Episode #9

On this week’s Let’s Play episode, Zach Faber helps me take down Bolivia’s obnoxious radio personality (aka DJ Perico). Through a series of hilarious free fall mishaps, motorcycle crashes, and friendly-fire grenades, we finally came face-to-face with the voice of Santa Blanca himself. Ghost Recon: Wildlands’ first

Finally, we won a match: Let’s Play Episode #8

The title just about says it all. Editor Zach Faber and I lost a frustratingly continuous string of matches during Relic’s Dawn of War III closed beta. Zach is brand new to RTS games, but bravely accepted the challenge, learning quickly. Unfortunately, he got stuck with a terrible teammate—

The Emperor compels you to read this: Dawn of War III closed beta

I’m an outspoken Warhammer 40,000 fanatic and the biggest Dawn of War series fan I know. I’m also a fiend for RTS games, and strangely, one of the few RTS enthusiasts here at Gaming Trend. However, one thing I’m not, and never have been, is a

Mired in mediocrity: Vikings—Wolves of Midgard review

I had my first experience with Vikings—Wolves of Midgard last year. Although my time with the game was limited, there were some key areas in need of tweaking. Even for an ARPG, it felt a bit too simplified. Characters, dialogue, and the narrative were rather bland and there wasn’
