Anno 2205 - As a fan of the Anno series I was disappointed in this. It looks good but didn't seem to hold my interest for very long.  Star Wars Battlefront - As a big Star Wars fan I was excited for this, but the game got repet...

Ashes of the Singularity v.71 is Now Available! This build addresses a few bugs and makes a couple of adjustments to game play balance. The cost of the Hades unit has been reduced, Centaur missiles are now armor piercing, and archer rockets fire less often but deal more damage, to name a few.
