Update: The kickstarter achieved $1.8 million last night so the Galactic War is on. The next stretch goals are an orchestral score and a documentary about the making of the game.

It’s no secret that I love strategy games. I even enjoy the ones I’m not that good at. I may eventually slow down enough that I have to retreat to only turn based strategy, but for now, I still enjoy a good RTS. Unfortunately, there haven’t been many releases in the genre lately. Sure, there …

The PSP, DSi and 3DS have plenty of games available for download. Sony’s goal for the upcoming Vita is to have the option to buy every game either …

I got a Kinect for my Xbox 360 for Christmas. It’s an amazing device to consider. It has brilliant potential, but right now it seems confined to the baby carriage of minigame collections. I know there are some better games out there now. Even the improvement from launch games to current Kinect games seems tiny …
