Developer Game-Labs has pushed their highly anticipated naval combat sim, Naval Action, over to Steam’s Early Access Program.

DayZ – Back To Chernarus In 2016
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. […]

Bohemia Interactive’s seminal FPS, Arma 3, had a big year in 2015, and the developer is looking to go big again this year.

Part One: Resisting Windows 10?
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. Also, don’t think this […]
B.U.G.: Charlie Jones volume I Book Review
Amazon Link: B.U.G. When it comes to good guys taking on the terrorists, do you turn to ‘Die Hard’, or are you more a James Bond fan? If you answered ‘Die Hard’, ‘BUG’ is the book for you! What I love about the ‘Die Hard’ series is the John McLean character Bruce Willis plays, always in […]
Battle of Britain II, Wings of Victory Update
Hope you all had a happy holiday break. I spent mine getting reacquainted with an old friend I haven’t seen for nearly two years. The good news is he’s still the same old loveable guy but he’s got a new lease on life and is much more fun to be around! Yes, I’m talking about […]

Yes, the Oculus Rift is now available for pre-order. Yes, it is $599 USD without the Touch Controllers. Yes, it is expensive. Is it too expensive? Well, that’s the question, isn’t it. When the Oculus Rift announced its price on January 6, the Internet had a heart attack; gamers, analysists, apologists, and virtually everyone else […]
DCS World Update 1.5.2
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 […]
Squad: Quick Look
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 […]
