Geostorm
After a long string of delays, reshoots, and actual hurricanes, the Geostorm disaster film
has gone through their own kind of disasters.
But, despite the movie’s immutable tragedies, there's still at least one good thing that
came out of it.
And here it is.
As far as movie tie-ins go, this puzzler perfectly captures the atmosphere of the film, without
giving in to convoluted plotlines and cliches.
Put yourself in the shoes of three different people in three different locations, and try
to put a stop to the coming apocalypse.
The game plays and looks much like Square Enix’ own Go series, with their diorama-like
cartoon environments and intriguing turn-based puzzles.
Playing as members of the Dutch Boy project, collect as much data as you can about the
coming catastrophes and transmit them to the International Spaceship.
It pits you against natural threats like Tsunamis, hail and lightning storms, and it’s up to
you to save the world.
It has a Provisional PlayScore of 7.45.

series.

by god, and politics, and religion.
Like their previous titles, the game is a historical delight.
This title sees the Union gaining ground against the Confederates with Ulysses Grant taking
command of the entire army.
While we might already know the results of these iconic battles, the game allows you
to do a fair bit of revisionism.
With new map features, units, campaigns, you'll be able to turn the tides of battle.
Control the waterways and hammer continuously against the oppositions armies in over 40
different missions, all in glorious HD.
It's every bit as meticulous as you charge the battlefield and maneuver through the Hexagon
maps for the best strategic positions.

around the 8bit world.
