Spellforce 2: Demons of the Past Review

It isn't often you get to play a game that feels authentically like it was made 8 years ago. While it may be a bit of an exaggeration to describe Spellforce 2: Demons of the Past in such a way, it also isn't very far off. With Demons of the Past, we are not only getting a standalone expansion in the series that doesn't require owning previous iterations, but we are also finally seeing the end of the Spellforce 2 story.

Getting a Hands-On Preview with the Pre-Alpha Gameplay

This past week we took a trip up to Behaviour Interactive to get an extremely early look at Warhammer 40,000: Eternal Crusade. Everything you are seeing on the site this week (videos are coming soon!) is literally pre-alpha gameplay footage. It is great that a studio like Behaviour is willing to show us this early gameplay footage. We got to play an early alpha build of the game and here is what we learned...it's awesome! But you probably wanted more than that, so read on.
