The Marshall Space Flight Center located in Huntsville Alabama sits on the north bank of the Tennessee River as part of the United States military's Redstone Arsenal. I was born, raised, and continue to live on the southern bank of the Tennessee River directly across the river from the Marshall Space Flight Center. Living in a very rural area of Alabama surrounded by cow pastures and the wilderness of the Appalachian foothills on three sides and a mighty river on the other while simultaneously witnessing and experiencing the sights and VERY loud sounds of our nations largest most powerful rockets on a near daily basis created a love for all things Space Program in me at a very young age.
While the frequent test firing of rockets was done a few miles away and hidden from view, the sheer amount of power unleashed in those short burst of rocket fire was impossible to miss. A quite peaceful day with only the sounds of birds, cattle, and the soft breeze would suddenly be filled with a sound so loud and powerful that the earth beneath your feet would reverberate and shake as though it was an earthquake and every window for miles would rattle and on occasion shatter from the violence of a single firing rocket. Watching those from out of town become wide eyed and panicked at the unexpected shattering of the peace was practically a local pastime. I can recall many a time while fishing on the backwaters and swamps of the river with my dad watching the surface of the water turn from that of glass to something akin to boiling water as the vibrations from the rockets moved across the creek. So even if you had no interest in the space program, you certainly could never forget it's existence while growing up in the valley I call home.
That constant reminder only further fueled my obsession with all things space and space travel, and combined with many school field trips and Boy Scout outings into Huntsville to visit the incredible Space & Rocket Center made for many nights lying on my back staring far into the easily visible center of our Milky Way galaxy thanks to little to virtually zero light pollution pondering not only the many wonders of human space travel but also my place within this magnificent universe.
Why do I wax poetically about my life in the shadow of giant rockets in this game review? Because playing Kerbal Space Program stirs those exact same feelings of wonderment and excitement in me as those rockets shaking the ground beneath my feet as a child did. If you have even a passing interest in space, astronomy, space flight, space programs, or rocketry, then do yourself the favor of getting Kerbal Space Program now, you will not regret the purchase and will chastise yourself for not getting it sooner. It's a disservice to call KSP a game or even a simulator, it's so much more than both, it's an incredible experience that has enriched my life and i'm a better person for having it.
I apologize if I have undersold the greatness of KSP........

This game makes me angry. I'm a lesser man for having played it.

Starbound scratches that "Terraria" itch, and does it in a much more "open" and "vast" way. It has a larger scale than most games of this type, which gives it a grand scope. Your required to explore multiple planets in search of resources which you then use to upgrade certain aspects of your equipment, and spaceship. You'll be upgrading your personal ship as a way to explore more dangerous and violent planets in a "Metroidvania" sort of progression across the cosmos. I personally enjoy Starbound thoroughly and any fan of the Minecraft, Terraria, or Crea type game, will also certainly find much to enjoy with Starbound.

This game is terrible!!! Why didnt someone tell me?!?!?


No. seriously,
I've been a fan of the Stronghold series ever since buying Stronghold 1 at its original release. I loved the combat, economy, strategy, and building aspects of the original, and each successive Stronghold release was an improvement over its predecessor.
I missed the initial release of Stronhold 3 due to raising two daughters that prefered playing "Smash" and "Kart" console games with their dad instead of my "old people" games on PC. And although I had not played 3, I had read the reviews and heard the reactions, and was very aware of the negativity surrounding it, but it just didnt seem possible. A Stronghold game that was not only dissapointing to the series, but possibly the worst game to be released that year. It was unthinkable to me, and I would not believe it until I played it myself.
That day came not long after creating my Steam account. After finding the Stronghold 3 store page, I was instantly taken aback at the bright red thumbs down sitting in its info box and the feeling of "any hope that 3 wasnt that bad" slowly left me. It only took a few minutes into the first mission that I finally accepted the truth, Stronghold 3 is a terrible game.
I cant recommend Stronghold 3 to my fellow gamers. If you find it on sale for $3.00 or less, then maybe, but only if you are a fan of the series. If you've never played any games in the series, then I suggest starting with any of the prior Stronghold games, as each is an excellent example of what is great about PC gaming and well deserving of all the praise they have received.
I personally feel Legends is the pinnacle of the series at this point, but Im holding out hope that someday we will see "Stronghold 4 coming soon" in our news feed and that it will make us forget about the travesty known as Stronghold 3.

What can I say that hasn't already been said about "the greatness" that is Terraria? I bought Terraria on console a couple years ago and I played it till I eventually burned myself out on it. But before I could walk away from it, it got an update. So I jumped right back in to experience the new goodies added in the update. This cycle continued for over a year, I get burned out, the developers add more content. And when I thought my Terraria addiction had finally run its course, I discovered the PC version. So on top of the many hours played on console, I have put over 100 hours into the PC version. Well apparently the developers get paid per hour that the game is played, because it is now over 5 years old and it is still receiveing updates with new content, the most recent only being a week prior to this review. I can not reccommend this game enough. Even if you have no idea what Terraria is or have never played this type of game but consider yourself a gamer, then dont wait, buy it now. Its a masterpiece of gameplay and an example of how all developers should support their games.

Update: I posted this review in 2016 and it is now 2021 and I can still say I love this game. Across all the platforms I've bought this game for, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS4, Android, IOS, and PC, I have well over 1000 hours combined easily, Truly a masterpiece

Best tower defense game by far.
