Read more »Recently, some members of the Save Game staff and our forums were given the opportunity to try their hand at Jupiter’s Folly – an online strategy board game from Iron Helmet Games. The game features mining. It features crystal. It features alien bugs intent on wiping out your security details and playing havoc with your mines. And thrown into all of this is the challenge of competing against other players who have similar goals and objectives as you.

Read more »Fallout 3 received some acclaim when it was first released in 2008. With reviews in the 90th percentile, and a love of Oblivion/Bethesda, I was looking forward to playing this game set in post-nuclear, dystopian America.
