Elite Dangerous: Horizons – The Dangerous Business Model?
A couple days ago, I took a look at Star Citizen‘s Alpha 2.0, and after playing it for about a week, I came to the conclusion that I really, really want the game to finally come out. Alpha 2.0 is a mess. A lovely mess. A mess I want to play more of but a […]
Let’s Talk About Star Citizen Alpha 2.0
Cloud Imperium Games and Roberts Space Industries recently upgraded Star Citizen to its latest (and greatest) incarnation in the form of Alpha 2.0.

As gaming genres, Sim and Strategy have an interesting facet, aside from their own unique mechanics, that other gaming genres can’t really claim to possess: books, and by extension, actual learning potential.
