The Political Machine 2012

The influential Keynesian economist John Kenneth Galbraith once said that "Nothing is so admirable in politics as a short memory," and developer Stardock apparently hopes that holds true to gaming as well. The newest installment of their long-running Political Machine franchise still delivers the quick, addicting bouts of light strategy and roleplay that made the 2008 release so enjoyable, but at the same time, it's so similar that you could be forgiven for thinking you were playing the same game. It's thus a little tempting to see this lack of change as a critique of politics as a whole. But considering that Stardock also removed some features for this new release, it's hard to see The Political Machine 2012 as anything other than a step back for the franchise.

Carrier Command: Gaea Mission

Carrier Command is a real-time action/strategy game, where the overarching objective is to conquer and control islands. It features a vast 33-island archipelago on the moon Taurus. The player's fundamental unit is the Carrier, from which they may deploy and dock up to four aerial units and four amphibious units. Other defensive and offensive systems are present, such as drones which protect the Carrier when under attack. Battles take place in the air, on land, and in the sea. The player can control to any deployed vehicle at any time. Traveling between islands is real-time and seamless.

Spec Ops: The Line

Spec Ops: The Line is a game rife with contrast. In the sandstorm-wracked city of Dubai, refugees huddle in crude shanties erected in the opulent atriums of luxury hotels, and soldiers construct rough outposts in swanky rooftop clubs. On these makeshift battlefields, most of your time is spent casually gunning down hundreds of enemy combatants, but your squadmates still argue passionately over the value of one anonymous virtual life. Mechanically, Spec Ops is an utterly commonplace third-person shooter, but narratively, it strives to raise philosophical questions and put you outside of your comfort zone.

The Amazing Spider-Man

It's a joy when The Amazing Spider-Man thrusts you into this wide-open world. By holding down a single trigger, you propel webbing from your wrists, swinging in whichever direction you choose. Expectedly, you don't necessarily see the webbing attach to anything nearby, which is fine: the joyous locomotion is all in the name of fun. Yet the game does a great job of providing the illusion that the laws of physics still vaguely apply. When you swish through a park that isn't near tall buildings, you stay near the ground, practically brushing the grass underneath you.
