Amazing Games You Can Play on the Raspberry Pi without Emulation
You can probably see where I’m going with this, but I’ll spell it out just in case. A few nights ago I decided that rather than play Civilization V on my PC, I would look for a version that I could play on my Raspberry Pi? Thus began a quest to find not only a version of Civilization that might run (perhaps using an MS-DOS emulator), but pretty much any game that would run natively on the Raspberry Pi…
5 Games You Can Play For Over 100 Hours – That’s Value!
One of the many traits unique to video games is the sheer volume of entertainment a game can provide. While a movie is over in two hours on average, and a TV show may offer ten to twenty hours in a season, an amazing game can be played for hundreds of hours. Because many games have no final end, there are many choices, but a few titles stand out for their incredible tendency to drag almost everyone who plays them deep into their world. These games are so enthralling they can ruin report cards, strain marriages and make you want to call in sick for work – consider yourself warned!
New To MOBAs? Here's How To Find Out Which One Is For You
If you've not been gaming from under a rock for the past few years, you've caught on to the MOBA genre of games, or have at least heard of them. While there is a handful of games in this genre, few stand above all others. By this, I mean they are some of the most played and viewed games in the entire world. Right now, it's all about Dota 2, League of Legends, Heroes of Newerth and SMITE. But which one is for you? Let me help you find out.
4 Excellent Real-Time Strategy Games You Can Play On The Cheap
The real-time strategy genre is one of the staples in gaming today. Other genres, like first person shooters and role playing games, are saturated with hundreds of different titles, but real-time strategy doesn’t hold the same kind of prevalence. You have the big names like Starcraft and Age of Empires, but many RTS titles never gain much traction - especially the free ones. I think RTS games are great but I don’t derive enough entertainment from them to justify spending money. That’s why I play free RTS games instead. Keep in mind that free games don’t have the same kind of manpower behind their development, but that doesn’t mean they’re bad.
What Is Dota 2 & Why Should You Care?
In the world of games, Valve Corporation has recently grown into one of the largest and most consistent game publishers (with the skyrocketing success of their Steam distribution network) and game developers (with the international success of series like Half-Life, Portal, Team Fortress, etc.) in the world. In terms of game development, Valve’s Gabe Newell has always approached his titles by pursuing quality over quantity, and it really shows, especially in their latest work-in-progress, Dota 2.
5 Websites All Beginner Starcraft II Players Need To Read
Starcraft II is a complicated game filled with deep nuances and intense strategy that can be rather intimidating for newer players to get a hold off. Many hours of dedication are required, and if you really want to learn the game, one of the best things you can do is take advice from other players. Why try to figure it out yourself when you can soak in the knowledge of those who have come before?

Action/Strategy Intensity Makes Extraction: Project Outbreak For Windows Phone Unmissable
Those pesky zombies – even when they’re not described as such, have become the de facto earthbound opponent in many video games, and that’s the case in Extraction: Project Outbreak for Windows Phone in which a bunch of "bio-engineered weapons" have gone rogue and escaped. The result is that you take charge of a military contractor who drops in to exterminate the zombies, in a sort of action/strategy game combo.
5 Must-Have Strategy Games for iPad [iOS]
Touch controls are great for games that require thought rather than quick, twitch movement. You can plot moves, activate abilities and direct units all with the touch of…well, your touch. You’d expect that to mean excellent strategy games dominate the platform but, in fact, the most popular titles tend to be lighter fare or free-to-play games defeated with cash more quickly than skill. Here are a few titles that stand out for their quality rather than price.
Build Your City In Triple Town - A Casual Game With Lots Of Strategic Depth [iOS]
Triple Town is sort of a city-building game with elements of tile-matching. The overarching puzzle to crack is how to build a large city quickly enough. The larger the city, the more points you pick up. Triple Town is available on multiple platforms and has been lauded in all. Including our Best iPhone Games page. But what’s the reason? Let’s find out.
Naval Warfare Multi-Shot for iOS is Battleships for The Mobile Generation
Naval Warfare Multi-Shot is reminiscent of the classic game of Battleships, except with a few twists to the gameplay to make it more palatable for the mobile generation. The game has been developed by a small development team of two people for the iOS platform, which means it's a truly independent production. To commemorate the launch of Naval Warfare Multi-Shot, the developers of the game are giving away a 64GB iPad for you to enjoy it on! Find out more about the game and how you can be in the running to win the free iPad!
Strategize Using Simplicity With Tower Defense: Lost Earth [iPhone]
I enjoy strategy games for the very same reason that I enjoy sabotaging high profile companies - you set up a few patsies to do your bidding, hike away to a safe distance, and watch all of the action happen without having to lift another finger. Well, in the case of the Com2US’s Tower Defense: Lost Earth for iPhone, you actually have to lift a finger....just one, though. Sometimes two.
Armed! Futuristic Real Time Strategy for Windows Phone 7
Gaming for Windows Phone is an interesting experience. While there are a whole host of great independent titles that don’t have Xbox Live integration, those that do are the ones that tend to be the most popular – for obvious reasons. One game that remains fascinating despite the lack of Xbox Live integration, however, is Armed!, a sci-fi themed RTS with three modes of play and an armada of futuristic weaponry.
Why Is League Of Legends The Most Popular PC Game In The World? [MUO Gaming]
Earlier last month, news broke that League of Legends, the addictive rehash of MOBA games like DotA and Heroes of Newerth, has officially earned the right to call itself the most popular game on the PC platform. This data was pulled from statistics over at time-tracker gaming service Xfire. As Xfire is a little outdated (or so you can argue), many have disputed the crowning of LoL.
Join Enemies & Allies In A Blazing Tank Battle With NetPanzer [MUO Gaming]
I should start off here by saying that I've tested out a lot of networked games in my time online, and I think I would only recommend less than half of them. Usually it comes down to either game quality, or lack of participants. Sometimes it's just the fact that even though the game is awesome and there are lots of people online all the time, the game is set up so that long-time players can just sit there and massacre newcomers.
5 Classic Indie Strategy Games You Must Play [MUO Gaming]
Strategy games have a long history that dates back to the very first game consoles and even arcade games (such as Rampart). As with any other genre, most of the games produced have been developed by one studio and then released by a separate publisher. This includes important titles such as Homeworld, Populous and SimCity 2000.
5 Reasons You Should Play Sins Of A Solar Empire: Rebellion
Great games are as rare as ever. These games don’t play it safe and provide an experience that is as tightly constructed as it is refreshing. I’ve been playing one such game lately. It’s called Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion. And here’s why you should pick it up.
Be The King Of The World With Imperia Online
If you're the kind of person that found yourself addicted to building farms in Farmville or a cafe in Cafeville, then you'll absolutely love Imperia Online. It's the same sort of real-time "building" strategy game where you assign events to happen and then come back later when it's finished.
Alien Invasion - Turn-Based Combat Game That Will Keep You On The Edge Of Your Seat [MUO Gaming]
