  • I’ve Had Enough | Five Players
    I’ve had enough of flustered American soldiers bellowing at me, ordering me to destroy AA guns, plant charges or “Get on that MG!”. I’ve had enough of squatting behind boxes, waiting for a gangster, soldier or alien to dutifully peek out from behind their box so I can shoot them in the head. I’ve had enough of cynical, arbitrary collectables scattered around open world games to artificially extend their lifespan. I’ve had enough of characters going to bed and just lying on top of the covers.
  • You keep using that word: “trial and error”- Destructoid
    Words. They’re like tiny nuggets of enriched uranium. They hold great power and potential energy, but they’re also extremely fragile and unstable. When harnessed correctly, they can galvanize people behind a concept; when handled sloppily, they’re likely to blow up in your face. Despite the potential fallout, humans continue to rely on words as their primary currency for information exchange.

Lords of the North

HOMM 5: Lords of the north by Guro

Heroes of Might and Magic II and III were among my favourite games in my pre-console days. I’ve never played either campaign and have only limited experience with random or user created maps; but I’ve sunk hours into toying around with both titles’ map creators. I loved setting up scenarios for Vanya and watching her play through them, anxious about whether she would discover that cleverly hidden artefact or the secret path to the bad guy’s castle, is among my fondest gaming memories.

Never played HoMM V or its map creator, but this amazing poster by Roman Gunyavy reminded me of the second and third games in the series.

Also, check out the steeds that the dwarves are riding! Yeah!
