Stronghold 3 Review
The latest sequel in the long-running real-time strategy franchise from FireFly Studios, Stronghold 3 is all about building your dream castle and defending it against sieging enemies. Almost exactly one decade after the first game was released, this new title promises a return to the classic and well-received gameplay that has been strayed so far from in more recent iterations. Does it live up to those expectations? Will (AKA Synchronous Failure) tells us all about it in his first official FiringSquad review, so read on!

Orcs Must Die! PC Review
Orcs Must Die! is the first release from an independent developer named Robot Entertainment. Fans of classic real-time strategy games may have heard that name before, as the outfit is comprised of many veterans from Ensemble Studios, creators of the Age of Empires series.
Equal parts action and strategy, this is a tower defense game that not only puts you in command, but on the front lines of combat, as well. Slaughter thousands of orcs, ogres and other vile creatures of fantasy that invade your fortresses through 24 levels of the story-based campaign. With high levels of replayability thanks to its scoring and leaderboard functionality, multiple difficulty levels, and various styles of play, it sounds a steal at only $15. Does it deliver on all that’s promised, though? Read on and find out!

StarCraft 2: Wings of Liberty Review
After 12 years of waiting, fans of Blizzard's StarCraft RTS finally have a sequel to play. StarCraft 2 focuses on just one race though, Terrans, and it lacks LAN play. Activision is also selling it for $60. With so many limitations, is Wings of Liberty worthy of the StarCraft 2 name? Vandy seems to think so...Read on for the full review!

Command and Conquer 4 Review
The Nod and GDI are back in C&C; 4, which marks the end of the Tiberium saga according to EA. Unlike its predecessors, C&C; 4 trades resource-gathering and base building for action, with an emphasis on squad-style gameplay. Does the new formula work? Read Vandy's take in our review!

Supreme Commander 2 PC Review
From Chris Taylor and Gas Powered Games comes Supreme Commander 2. The original was highly praised for its deep RTS elements, but it was known for being system-intensive and didn't have the easiest learning curve for gamers new to the RTS scene. To widen the game's audience, GPG has implemented numerous changes with Supreme Commander 2 -- do these tweaks compromise the experience though? Read Vandy's take inside!

Sins of a Solar Empire Review
Sins of a Solar Empire could possibly be the most unique RTS you've ever played. Or the battles last so long you'll grow a beard before you finish a game you started before puberty. One of these Jakub finds true, the other he ignores. Read on to find out.
