American Patriots: Boston Tea Party
I started wargaming in the 80’s, when a flood of small, inexpensive games hit the market. Metagaming and SPI were among the first to offer a whole game for just three or four dollars. Pretty soon TSR was churning them out as well. This is very much that sort of game- hexboard, attack/defensive-move. Nothing revolutionary here (irony). But it is the sort of thing you’ll like if you like that sort of thing.
A note on the simple graphics- simple does not always mean bad. The bare-bones graphics add a lot of class and atmosphere to the game. The map is a hex grid laid over a vintage sepia map- very pretty.

Highly Recommend! For what this game is it is an absolute gem.
I bought this game and its Civil War themed sequel for only $1. I already love these games, and I haven’t even tried any of the multi player modes yet. This game’s not without a couple of forgivable flaws. If your mouse has a high DPI rate, you might want to use keyboard controls to navigate.
These games eliminate the biggest downside to table top war games. Most games take a long time to set up, and even longer to get past the “Opening Game” phase where you move toward engaging the enemy. For true fans of tactical board games this game would be a bargain even at a cost of several dollars. If the devs wanted to, they could easily add a few simple features like more maps that would make this game a great value even at a cost of $5 or more.

Sunday Rivals
Another update to the game, another update to this review!
TLDR: My play time speaks for itself. It’s very fun with a TON of replayability but it does lack a few features at the moment (but that’s going to change in the future once more updates release)
Pros:
-Loads of customization (players, teams, stadiums, leagues, jerseys, gameplay sliders, coaching strategies, and even playbooks as of the most recent update)
-Great gameplay
-Customizable Season Mode with full custom league support
-Share your custom leagues/teams and try out others' (albeit not via workshop)

The game is very simple right now, but it’s super fun to play. I’m really looking forward to the planned features.
EDIT: The Headhunter mode just released and it really adds to the replay value of the game. The mode allows you to “lead your favorite team through a 4 game, single-elimination tournament while racking up points using a fantasy football-style scoring system”; and let me tell you, that extra scoring system makes the game so much more fun than it already was. You can compare your scores from your own Headhunters runs and with your friends runs. I’d imagine the game’s Discord server would be a great place to do it: http://discord.gg/dSuMe5w

SRX: The Game
Here we go again, time for another long and heartfelt review of a game in the Monster Games series. Their games, as silly as it may sound, mean a lot to me, so prepare for a long one. I hope it helps you!
Summary: This game is yet another step up for Monster Games. At this point, I have no big issues with the driving physics. The only real big issue that is the crash physics are still overly arcadey and just don’t fit in with the rest of the game’s aesthetic. If you can get past that though, definitely get this game. I saw someone complain about the lack of multiplayer lobbies. Well if you wanna fix that, buy the freaking game, and keep trying to make lobbies, it’s that easy! I’m also interested in forming a league with some friends, if there is enough interest for it.

So far I’m pretty impressed with the changes made to career mode. I love playing a long winded in depth career mode in any racing game. I played the other Tony Stewart games on PS4, I really enjoyed All American Racing and so far feel this game plays a bit better. Im not too hard to impress and will happily update this review when i get to racing in the other divisions.
One thing I will say I’m happy to see improvements on are the Facility Upgrade and now there is a Hired Driver you can set for each team. The Hired Driver can improve the more they race and I feel like that is a fantastic feature. Obviously there are tracks that not everyone will enjoy driving at, so its nice to be able to have a driver with a name and a rating go race for you when you dont want to do it yourself.

The Bluecoats: North & South
The game is full of bugs, errors, AI should be improved a lot, keyboard commands are not always comfortable, the map is quite uncomfortable.
But it was my favorite game on the Amiga and that’s okay then
UPDATE
After 24 hours of gameplay the thing I find most annoying during the assault on the forts is the lack of footsteps in the enemies and the spawn behind them

Not bad, actually. I read the controls were not good originally but that an update fixed it, for me they were working with an American keyboard. The new 3D shooter fights are not bad but I miss the original jump’n’run environments.

SGS Halls of Montezuma
Great game! I like how the main focus is on the battles and yet the cards and other aspects of the game add the historical background and events of that time period. The game has been well supported and updated too.

In 5 hours of playtime, I have found the game so far to be fun, easy to learn and play and at the same time seriously historical, detailed and challenging. Excellent, colorful graphics, an awesome soundtrack and manual, and a wonderful video tutorial are just icing on the cake. I’m a serious wargamer from way back and would recommend this title without hesitation.

The Expendabros
Expendabros
is a 2D action shooter, developed to promote the (at the time) upcoming movie, The Expendables 3. The overrall game is very short (approx. 1hr), but that is to be expected as it basically acts as a free demo to Broforce .
The plot is loosely based on that of the film, it revolves around your team of seven “Expendabros” who are trying hunt down the notorious arms dealer Conrad Stonebanks. Not that you exactly care about the plot, I mean you are only playing the game for destroying everything you see.

Ran through this 2x today on one of my kid’s Steam account. First with a 4-way and then a trio. Immensely fun, intense, short, and satisfying. Basically just a small taste (demo) of BroForce but worth replaying in single player or co-op for speed-run bragging rights. Moreover, it’s free. A big thank you to Free Lives and Devolver Digital.
EDIT: 2014-08-08. There have been both positive and negative reviews complaining about frame-rate issues, including one reviewer with an nVidia GTX 760. While I have a GTX 660, I have only played the game on a pair of other PCs, both of which have an AMD Radeon R7 260. Not once did I experience any frame-rate issues and these cards are inferior to the GTX 760. While I don’t doubt the reviewers problems perhaps the game is less optimized for nVidia cards. I’ll play on my PC over the weekend and comment here if I have any issues.

Retro Classix: Two Crude
Another great retro Beat ‘em up game to kill some time! Frustrating at times, but the action is superb.
Boo-yah!!

Reminds me of the 90s big time. I remember seeing the Sega Genesis version and I wanted to try this game out since I heard the Arcade version is superior but I can tell you the hit boxes on the enemies are rough and it can be completed in 30 minutes. Its fun at first but the bosses hit boxes are terrible.

Tony Stewart’s All-American Racing
I don’t know why these Tony Stewart games are better than the mainline HEAT series from Monster, but it is really quite special.
If you enjoy dirt circletrack racing, but don’t want to enter into competitive sim-racing like iRacing, these are the games for you. This game has updated physics, and a progessive dirt layer added to the cars. The two things, really, that the already great Sprint Car game was missing.
It would have been nice if Monster added the Sprint Car content to this title. It will also be nice to see additional classes like Late Models, Super Late Models, Pro Trucks, and maybe some more models in Street Stock.

It has been so long since Dirt Track Racing games were released. This game is a very nice upgrade from those versions. First impressions are very positive. Very simple, fun racing game. Game play is very similar to Dirt Track racing, with greatly improved graphics.
Pros: 3 classes of cars to chose from, custom paint schemes (limited), tuning (simple or advanced)
Cons: Limited custom paint schemes, no track conditions (wet/dry), zero advantage to running the cushion (high side) of track.
