Hooligans : Storm Over Europe is a fun little Real Time Strategy game from a rather unknown Dutch developer, The Thirteenth Production. Banned, slammed and kicked around like a soccer ball by various official government institutions we could not resist to see what the fuzz was all about ...

These powerful Shamans are counted amongst Thrall's closest advisers and are constantly in tune with the workings and maneuverings of the Horde. Farseers are not only tied to the elements of the earth and sky, but are also adept at foretelling the future. The Earthquake ability makes the ground tremble and break, causing heavy damage to buildings and slowing units within the area of effect.

Shawdowforce "Razor Unit" is a new First Person Shooter (FPS) from Activision Value. Usually the Value brand brings what it stands for ... budget games. A few days ago the demo got released and, being a big CS fan, I decided to give it a whirl. For a budget title it is pretty well done and has a promising multiplayer aspect with deathmatch, CTF and team deathmatch .. the demo only has 1 single player map and 2 multiplayer maps so limited playability, but what i saw simply kicks ass .. nice range of weapons, smooth play ... ill be getting this one as soon as i see it!
