Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth: Hacker’s Memory Review

The latest release in the Digimon lineup of video game titles is an odd one to say the least, at least if this is the first time you've jumped into a Digimon game, which was the case for me. I generally don't get really excited about Digimon as I prefer other, similar games over this one.

Railway Empire Performs Better on Xbox Than Expected

When I saw Railway Empire from Kalypso - the same company behind the Tropico series - I knew the game was going to be relatively good. That being said, I always have a few reservations about playing tycoon and simulation style titles on a console, using a controller. More than half the time, the controller just cannot replicate the feel of the mouse and keyboard, and many games in this style fall flat because of pure controls.

The Optimum Room Set-up for Gamers

As gamers we’re generally familiar with the concept of “modding” the sh*t out of stuff, aren’t we? You upgrade a character by fine tuning his or her skill profile, you specialise your army or cart or whatever it might be for different tasks: lighter armour, more rapid fire rate, greater acceleration; you sacrifice health or clout for a special ability etc. etc. So let us ask you this: What about “modding” your gaming environment…?
