This is one of my all time favourite games and actually had a lasting impact on the gaming world as we know it, thanks to fatalities and the introduction of the age ratings.

As a kid what's not to love about this very unique fighting game, controlling what looks like real people, finding the elusive special moves and finally inputting the secret code to humiliate your opponent with a devastating fatality.

If you liked Dominion but are looking for something a little more involved, Clank! is the game for you. Dominion was what got our group into gaming years ago, but all of the expansions have gotten dusty as we moved on to more complicated games. After a year of debating buying Clank!, we finally got around to it, and wished we had sooner. It reminded us of our initial infatuation with deck building.

As for the game itself, the mechanics are well balanced and make the game go quickly. And the artwork is much, much more consistant than Dominion.

Ground war tries to emulate Battlefield
I would recommend buying this game if you are a seasoned fan of the CoD series, as this is the best installment to date. On the other hand, if you are new to the CoD games, I would advise you to research the game a bit more before purchasing due to the short campaign and lack of promised co-op content. However, if you are into competitive gaming, you can't really go wrong with this purchase.

Alex Kidd is a video game character whose popularity peaked during the late 1980s and who was the protagonist of both a series of video games released by Sega and their fictional universe, as well as in numerous spin-offs such as novelizations and comics.


Alex Kidd is a pint-sized, big eared hero who was the unofficial mascot of Sega prior to Sonic the Hedgehog's release in 1991.
Before I started gaming myself, I was an avid observer, roughly 5/6 years old, there was this breakable box, some had coins,some had items...but this one box had a bluddy Ghost! I hid every time..until I took Control (get it?) Now im......years old I can appreciate it for the little gem its was/is.

Although a little short, this character and game has left its mark (if only a small one) on gaming culture itself, it seems Alex kidd was all but forgotten until sega classics collection was released on multiple platforms allowing player's old,young new and long timers to enjoy his adventure once more.
Since this, Alex kidd has been a playable character/racer in sonic All Star Racing which means he was down but not out, hopefully we'll see a solo comeback someday.

P.s THAT box is next to Alex in the uploaded pic.....

Solid knowledge and insight
I have listened to Game scoop for years and every week I know that it will give me a laugh and some great opinions and insights into recent gaming news and events. Marty is always brilliant when he is on the show and I love when the guests play 20 questions and try to guess the listener submitted game. The only downside is Justin Davis, who for some reason is a regular on this show. He is extremely irritating and his taste in games couldn't be further away from my own tastes.

I am not a big Battlefield guy, nor am I a big FPS fan, but I picked this up in a sale and actually had a decent time playing through the campaign. I am not a fan of online gaming, so I just stuck to the campaign and although it was brief and the plot was rubbish, I did enjoy playing through it. If you aren't looking for anything too deep and have a few hours to kill, then this is definitely worth picking up in a sale, just don't expect anything complex or deep.

For me, this version is an improvement to the original. It tries to help you learn the game rather than fight you as the FFG version seemed to do at times. If you already have the FFG version, you can purchase an upgrade kit that has all of the new cards in a nice tin for about $30, and then download the new version of the rules from the Ares Games website, that might be enough for you.

I have been playing AOS for a year now and i love it. The rules are simple and easy to follow and there's an element in the hobby for everyone from minature building, terrain creating, minature painting and then the actual war gaming that comes in many different forms suited to how you would like to play.
The company is great a bringing new things out regularly, listening to and engaging with their customers.
The only downside is that it's quite addictive and you end up sinking a lot of money in it. I have four armies already...oops!
