I've neglected this blog for a few weeks now. Sorry guys! I've been busy pushing through my cue of review materials. I've also been enjoying some PC titles in between all the tabletop coverage. I have reviews in the works of quite a few new PC titles at the moment, I just need to quit playing long enough to write the reviews.
With Gen Con over with, the industry can now begin to shift back to normal operations too. You can look forward to quite a few new product reviews in the coming months, as there's quite a few interesting developments from Gen Con.
A few titles really caught my eye. Earth Reborn, ZynVaded and Cipher's US release of HellDorado all look really promising. Wizkids StarTrek Clix sounds like a winner, but only time will tell. The models look nice, but it remains to be seen if they can deliver a game of space combat that will work and offer compelling gameplay.
MERCS Minis is also gearing up to release their rulebook, cards and maps for their own skirmish game utilizing the existing utterly amazing MERCS Minis models. There's more factions in the works too, two of which were just released the USCR and FCC. They just released the basic rules for the game via their website too. These rules are what they used to demo the game at Gen Con with, so with these rules and the card decks you can buy direct from them you too can get started with MERCS now!

The new Mantic Games ruleset sounds really promising too, as it's being developed and written by non other than Alessio Cavatore, who used to write rules for Games Workshop. They plan to release an amazing starter set this fall with Dwarves versus the Undead, complete with the new rulebook. So the coming months are quite promising. Now if only this wicked hot summer would end already, I swear I can't remember the last time it was this hot, this consistently.
