Madden NFL 17 scores another touchdown
This year’s iteration of the veteran American football sim, Madden NFL 17, is all about opening up the series to new fans.

Total War: Warhammer PC review
I return to the world of Warhammer, over twenty-five years after last playing the now legendary table-top fantasy role-playing game with Total War: Warhammer.
When I first played the real-time strategy game, Shogun: Total War, way back in 2000, it reminded me of the childhood table-top battles I used to play using tiny metal Citadel Miniatures. Continue reading Total War: Warhammer PC review
