An honest take on the first Total War: Warhammer 40,000 gameplay from Creative Assembly's Alpha Strike stream, and why it is no Dawn of War killer.

Command & Conquer is dead - so who carries the torch now? My take on two spiritual successors pulling the RTS crown in opposite directions: Tempest Rising, polished and playable today, and the indie project Fractured Alliance.
EverRail nails the survival loop, but the train it all revolves around feels empty. An honest demo preview of a promising frozen-planet survival crafting game.
