War Board Games are one of my favorite ways to spend time with friends and loved ones. While They can be slightly complex, their reliance on tactics, backed by the central theme, offers massive scope for imagination. The choices in 2024 are plenty, ranging from ageless classics to modern creations. While some of them have you role-play as a simple faction, others put you in charge of expanding entire kingdoms. In this list, I have focused mostly on the newer games available in the market while shedding some light on the evergreen classics....

All about Ghosts’ unlikely new star How could you not love a German Shepherd? They’ve got the cutest face markings, that funny lowered rear, and ears so big that they could double as windsails. They’re also amazing animals when it comes to serving humans, working in every field, from helping disabled people live their lives, to pulling people out of disaster wreckage, to serving alongside soldiers in wars. Out of all of man’s best friends, this breed shows it the most....

For me, not knowing what’s ahead is half the fun, if not more....

That elevator glitch is being removed, sadly I quite liked my time spent with theBattlefield 4beta, even if I never got to witness that darn skyscraper falling down first-hand. (I did, however, participate in some absurd parachute gunfights after diving off the thing as it started to buckle.) Itwasa beta, though, and that means bug reports, feedback, and the like. In the end, it wasn’t merely for promotion. DICE has released a list of changes that are coming about thanks to players like you....

Fun facts: IO Interactive used to be called Reto-Moto and its founding members and some of the core developers left the studio when it was sold to Eidos back in 2004. Now the guys who were responsible for the olderHitmangames, as well as the excellentFreedom Fighters, are back once again as Reto-Moto with a new title —Heroes & Generals. It’s a browser-based multiplayer World War II shooter (I know, just keep on reading) where you’ll play through a range of missions and online modes with a customizable character....

Wearing the crimson mask If the Vita were a wrestler, it would be Mankind. More specifically, it would be Mankind in his infamous Hell in a Cell match with the Undertaker. It’s a machine that Sony has proverbially thrown off the cage, chokeslammed through the roof, and left for dead. “Stop the match! Stop the damn match!” JR would probably scream. But, the Vita just kicked out of a two-count. Resilient, tough little guy....
