On behalf of the Project Reality development team and the Tactical Gamer administration we are pleased to announce that the next release of Project Reality ArmA2 is coming out very soon!

The server will be passworded for the duration of the testing event, the password will be communicated later here, and on the Project Reality forums.
Later in the week the development team will release a special build of the mod for this event, this will not be final build and will not be useable after the event.

Dreams
Have you ever had a dream? Ever wanted to make a game or see a game made that gave you the ultimate playground experience? Was that dream linked to space exploration? Well one person had that dream and it came true, and as you'll see coming up in the next two videos, that game is Kerbal Space Program. Made by an indie game Dev known as "Squad". A Mexico city based marketing company trying to transition to game development and starting with a rather ambitious project. So, let's get started taking a look at this wonderful little game?
The Idea
So what is KSP you ask? Well basically, right now, it's a game about building spaceships, testing them, experiencing failure and building off that failure to do something better the second time. The future on the other hand is full of possibilities and potential as the lead designer and his team really want to make the ultimate space playground experience. They want to allow the player to build their own space program, and eventually venture into building their own solar empire. ...by Published on 01-20-2012 04:30 PM Number of Views: 535
Yes folks I know we're a "tactical" gaming site but I wanted to share with you this news about a "strategic" level game that I myself have been enjoying.....
Epsom , UK , January 20th, 2011 – Slitherine (www.slitherine.com) and Matrix Games (www.matrixgames.com) would like to congratulate The Lordz Games Studio (www.thelordzgamesstudio.com) for winning the Usenet’s Wargame of the Year Award 2011! This coveted honor is bestowed upon the best historical wargame of the year and, given the near universal critical and fan acclaim of Panzer Corps, the award is no surprise!
About Panzer Corps:
Panzer Corps is a brand new turn-based strategy game that reinvents a classic genre. Produced and developed by a team of experts and brought to perfection by a community of hundreds of fans, the game has evolved over 2 years to become what can be defined as a modern classic! Set in World War II, Panzer Corps puts the player in charge of Axis armies, taking their core force with them through the entire war. The use of combined-arms tactics requires each general to make use of the strengths and exploit the weaknesses of their opponents. Panzer Corps is designed to replicate the feeling of a classic wargame, but brings it up to 21st century standards and to a whole new generation of gamers. ...by Published on 01-18-2012 12:35 PM Number of Views: 481

Tactical Gamer proudly presents our round-robin review of NaturalPoint's TrackIR 5. TrackIR 5 is the latest in the lineup of TrackIR products that allow gamers to literally use head movements to look around in a game. Allowing superior situational awareness over a plain mouse and keyboard setup TrackIR 5 becomes essential to flight simulators and tactical first-person shooters.
This is a round-robin review with contributed content from Wicks, Dredge, Warlab, and myself (Acreo Aeneas). We have tried to be as thorough and complete in our review as possible, but given time constraints and the sheer number of games that support the TrackIR 5, we were only able to cover the use of the TrackIR 5 in a few select titles. ...by Published on 12-08-2011 11:40 AM Number of Views: 1100Categories:

I propose a question to you my brothers and sisters at TG, have you ever loved a series or franchise of gaming so much that you'd dedicate you life to seeing that franchise or series grow by making your own game? Well one such young woman that I had the chance to speak to today gave me her answer: "Yes". I had the opportunity to speak with "Sammi" lead designer for an independent Castlevania project entitled "Sonata of Melancholy". Now a lot of us remember the good 'ol days of gaming, back when the newest fanciest graphics engine didn't way on our minds. What did, was story, and gameplay, that's what mattered to us.
Sammi has spent the last 4 years writing a new story for the Castlevania series and working on a design for a new game in the series. She has a long road and a lot of work ahead of her, but I think she'll get there. Now for those of you not familiar with "Castlevania" take a look at this: ...by Published on 11-26-2011 10:30 PM Number of Views: 1711Categories:
