Space Empires IV

Rating:  4 Stars

"...the sum of these additions is a superb strategy game. It's definitely the most sophisticated space-empire game available right now. If you're serious about space strategy, you can't afford to miss it."

Rating:  8.7

"... [for] those who love a good 4X space strategy game, they don't get much better than this."

Rating:  5 Stars

"If you're interested in playing the best 4X on the market, go order it from Shrapnel Games now. Otherwise, stick with Master of Orion, get a taste for 4X, then order this game. You won't regret it."

BCT
Commander

Rating:  8/10

"If you are looking for a realistic military simulation, than look no further. You have found it. If you’re into RTS games, this one may not be for you. I do know that I would be more comfortable with our Military leaders using this game for the purposes of training our troops, as opposed to “Delta Force”!""

"BCT Commander is a title worthy of serious consideration by any die-hard wargamer looking to add to his library, or anyone interested in a more modern era of wargaming"

Rating:  7/10

"BCT Commander is in many ways an outstanding product that delivers exactly what it claims to--it's a rigorous, realistic simulation of what it's like to command a brigade of combined-arms troops in modern warfare."

The War Engine

Rating:  3 stars

"If you are looking for a solid, turn-based strategy wargaming bundle of titles, there's tremendous value in what is being offered with The War Engine."

Rating:  91%

"I would urge strategy game fans of any genre to buy this. Even if you're not very interested in using The War Engine as a designer, the value presented by the inclusion of seven different turn-based scenarios in the package is an opportunity not to be missed."

Rating:  7.0

"...the latest of which is The War Engine, a game with hundreds of hours of play and a nice editor to create your own war games."

RuneSword II

Rating:  4 stars

"In short, if you like roleplaying, especially pen-and-paper RPGs, RuneSword II is a breath of fresh air..."

Rating:  8.3

"Not only does it have a robust editor and great video tutorials to give you the basics, it also comes with some great adventures."

Rating:  7.0

"RuneSword 2 is a fun game in and of itself. The fact that you can download developer and fan created Tomes is a big plus."

Remote Assault

Rating:  3.5

"this game is a winner in many categories. It actually emphasizes the "S" in RTS by de-emphasizing the ho-hum tank rush mentality and encouraging strategic and tactical thinking. The use of unit and group behaviors is quite unique and adds some depth to play, while the enemy AI is admirable compared to some of its poorer relations. It's a tactical situation that brings a lot of merit with it, and offers features that many other RTS games never even dreamed of..."

Rating:  7.9

"...a wargamer’s version of Heaven..."

Rating:  3.5 stars

"...lurking underneath a basic chassis is a highly detailed game emphasizing the important elements of strategy and tactics."

"A challenging, hardcore wargame dressed up in mech drag."

Combat Command 2: Desert Rats

Rating:  3.5 stars

"What's to like:
Detailed scenarios, well written manual, clean interface, lots of gameplay value, comprehensive scenario editor..."

Rating:  80

"If you enjoy or are interested in wargames then Combat Command 2: Desert Rats is a must buy!"

Rating:  83

"A damn good game, Combat Command 2: Desert Rats has nearly all the strategic depth of much more complex titles at half the cost in learning time. The game combines multiple scenarios, intriguing strategy, and a shallow learning curve to produce an excellent addition to anyone's wargaming library."

Air Command 3.0

Rating:  7.0

"It's only the best damn air traffic controller game you can find…if you're into that kind of thing."

Rating:  85

"Air Command 3.0 has a great deal of old-school charm going for it, and every time I sat down for a session, I thought to myself "they don't make them like this anymore."

Rating:  79

"Have you ever seen those jugglers that juggle three objects and then suddenly have three or four more thrown into the mix? That's what it feels like during the rush hour in Air Command 3.0. Just when you think you've got the situation under control, it changes. However, when you get it right, it's very rewarding, and when you get it wrong, you're left with the mix of anger and desire to improve that is sometimes called addiction."

Horse & Musket
Great Battles of the Eighteenth Century

Rating:  4 Stars

"Horse & Musket is a strong addition to a great series of games dealing with an overlooked period. It is available only online from Shrapnel Games. If regiments with names like Maison du Roi or Leib Garde turn you on, definitely get this one."

Rating:  7.5

"...if you are looking for a mentally challenging foray into warfare in the 1700’s, this is a game that will reward perseverance and provide hours of gaming. They have even included a scenario editor so you can create your own battles once the pre-arranged conflicts are exhausted. I know I kept coming back to see if rallying that unit or moving this artillery could change the outcome of the battle."

Rating:  N/A

"...the focus of Horse & Musket: Great Battles of the Eighteenth Century on the actions of the commander and his subordinate leaders make for interesting and enjoyable play. The logical and functional phases of play provide a time-proven and familiar structure for those with traditional wargame experience. With the battles of a century of warfare that lately receives little attention, this game makes it interesting and educational. For any board gamers interested in joining the "information age," this game can serve as a good transition tool to computer gaming."

Combat Command 2
Danger Forward!

Rating:  8.0

"...if you are, at heart, a straight-laced hardcore war gamer, this is exactly what you may be looking for."

Rating:  4 Stars

"Combat Command 2 will intrigue veteran players, while weaning beginners from more glitzy but shallow games."

Rating:  TOP PICK

"Frankly, I haven’t been this enthusiastic about a computer wargame since I got my copy of ‘Panthers in the Shadows’ from HPS Games about 5 years ago (and, yes, this means I like it more than Combat Mission…). It is truly innovative, well designed, well researched and fun to play."
