The past few days have seen a nice little burst of news on the flight sim front, with 1C and Eagle Dynamics each providing some new information regarding updates and the futures of their respective games. IL*2 Battle of Moscow A few days ago we took a look at 1C’s update 1.107, which continues the […]
Developer 1C is hard at work preparing for the release of Battle of Moscow, the next addition in its IL*2 Sturmovik franchise. While BOM is due out sometime in the next couple months, 1C has its eyes set on more than just the immediate future: “Long term planning requires long discussion, so we’ll be able […]
Developer Game-Labs has pushed their highly anticipated naval combat sim, Naval Action, over to Steam’s Early Access Program. Early last year, SimHQ took a couple looks at Naval Action in its premature stages, but now, it seems, Game-Labs is getting ready for prime time. In brief, Naval Action is a very detailed naval combat sim […]
It’s been a number of weeks since I visited the troll zombie infested wasteland that is DayZ’s Chernarus, but given the buzz surrounding update 0.59, I decided to take another go at surviving the end of days. It’s easy to forget that DayZ (Standalone) has only been in development for a little over two years. […]
Eagle Dynamics and The Fighter Collection have released the 16-2 Red Flag Campaign for the F-15C. The Red Flag Exercise is a typical advanced combat training exercise that happens at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada.

Bohemia Interactive’s seminal FPS, Arma 3, had a big year in 2015, and the developer is looking to go big again this year. The Marksmen DLC, new End Game mode, and the pivotal Nexus update were three of Arma’s biggest news pieces last year, but now Bohemia is Scanning The Horizon and looking towards the […]
If so, my first question would be, “Are you a gamer?” Since you’re reading this site, I would assume so, and my reply would be “Resistance is futile.” Now that my one-on-one conversation is over, complete with pop-culture reference, you should probably just give up and go upgrade to Windows 10.

When the Oculus Rift announced its price on January 6, the Internet had a heart attack; gamers, analysists, apologists, and virtually everyone else […]
Well, it’s a new year. Time to make and break resolutions and prepare for a whole new year of events, news, and goings on. January, and in some ways, the entire first quarter of a new year, is a little bit like the summer for the game’s industry (sans E3). Developers and publishers have usually […]
Every few weeks, Steam has a new flavor-of-the-month game that the Internet collectively praises for a couple days. Afterwards, the game that was so “great,” “unique,” “innovative,” and “the next big thing” usually sinks into its niche and goes mostly unnoticed by players at large. While games fading into obscurity isn’t anything new, it has […]
Developer 1C has released update 1.106, which includes numerous additions and fixes, in time for the Holidays. After the long wait for 1.104, it’s nice to see 1C hard at work pumping out more updates to close the year. The biggest addition to the game in this update, comes in the form of the MiG-3 Soviet […]
A couple days ago, I took a look at Star Citizen‘s Alpha 2.0, and after playing it for about a week, I came to the conclusion that I really, really want the game to finally come out. Alpha 2.0 is a mess. A lovely mess. A mess I want to play more of but a […]
