  • Philippe Keyaert's Twin Tin Bots kickstarter page updated, pnp sampler now available.

    Hi.
    Our campaign to fun Philippe Keyaert's Twin Tin Bots will end in about 10 days, on Nov. 15.
    It has started slow and we have only reached 32% of our $40.000 so far, so I have sought feedback from various groups, starting with the project supporters. I received a lot of constructive criticism, and it led to a complete revamp of the project page.
    http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/flatlined/twin-tin-bots
    This revamp appears to bear fruit, as new pledges are coming to support the project.

    Today, we have released a print and play version of the game for 2 players. The best way to evaluate a board game and to know whether it's a game for you is indeed to play it : 'The proof is in the pudding' as they say in the U.K.
    http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/flatlined/twin-tin-bots/posts

    We believe the project can still succeed, given the right exposure. It is a solid game by an all star designer, and we are actively monitoring community feedback.

    LNLP Announces World at War: Operation Garbo on P500

    Rocky Mount,VA, August 4, 2008 –

    World at War: Operation Garbo takes the popular World at War game system into the hills and valleys of Sweden as their long-kept neutrality is violated by the Soviet Army. Swedish forces include its upgraded Mark 4 variant of the British Centurion tank, the famous Swedish S-tank—which has no turret!—and the PBV 302, a combat-proven APC. Other units include AT helicopters, tracked TOW and SAM launchers, and the hard-hitting, but fragile, IKV 91 tank destroyer. Home Guard units made up of old men with old rifles and fast, jeep-driving recon units support the heavier tank units. 

    World at War: Operation Garbo is the latest expansion (you must own either World at War: Eisenbach Gap or World at War: Blood and Bridges to play) in the World at War series. It features 176 counters, two mounted 11” x 17” maps, and 6 scenarios. Click here for the full story: Operation Garbo

  • Resident Evil and Star Trek games out now

    re-deckbuilderClassic video games franchise, Resident Evil, has been made into a deck building game and is out now!
     
    The game allows players to choose their favourite character from the video games. They then start with only the most basic of items and weapons and as the game progresses will build on these to improve their chances of defeating the Infected!
     
    In addition to the game, simply called Resident Evil, there are no less than 4 additional expansions. ‘Resident Evil: Alliance’ and ‘Resident Evil: Mercenaries’ are stand-alone expansions, but the other 2, ‘Outbreak’ and ‘Nightmare’ can be played as add-ons to the base game. All 5 games are available now for around £25.
     
    Furthermore, 3 new Star Trek card games have also been released, based on both the original series and The Next Generation. 2 of the games are based on The Next Generation name, the second of which is also called ‘Next Phase’ which features different characters and scenarios from later in the series. All 3 games can be played alone but are also compatible with each other to allow the biggest fans the ability to mix and match as they please. All 3 games are available now for around £25 each.

  • RISK: FACTIONS in Review

    When they said that the new RISK: FACTIONS XBLA game was going to have cats and robots in it, I was skeptical. When zombies were mentioned as one of the factions in the game, I started losing interest. But it's a good thing I didn't, because not only do I get to do another one of those pro video game reviews that will put my name in lights (on Metacritic at least), it's also a pretty good edition of RISK. In fact, I almost wish that any new version of the printed game would bring forward some of the new things in the video game. I like the cartoon style, I like the factions (but they need a special power or something), and I like the special buildings.

    Too bad the AI is terrible. As good as the presentation and interface is, you just can't match a human player in this kind of game.

    Coming up next: SNIPER: GHOST WARRIOR, which is kind of like the straight-to-DVD version of a  CALL OF DUTY game, and probably another review or two that will not, under any circumstances, break 1200 words.
