Since the last edition of The Political Machine 2016 weekly stats, we’ve had a lot of developments in the primaries. It will be interesting to see the effects it has had on the game. The big primary in South Carolina for the democrats happened recently and Hillary Clinton easily took that state. Super Tuesday saw wins for Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, and Ted Cruz. Subsequent primaries had Bernie Sanders picking up Michigan from Hillary, and various other states going t...

Hitman - I've been a fan of the series for a while, and although I'm not sure about their release method, I have already pre-ordered. Ashes of the Singularity - I mentioned this in the other thread as I've enjoyed it even in Early Access, and I'm ex...

In 2015 we saw lots of great games make their way to the PC. I was looking back at what I played and which I found the most enjoyable.   Galactic Civilizations III - Had a lot of fun with GCIII, and it's one of my favorite Stardock games.
