There are several of these games now, starting with Kixeye’s Backyard Monsters, Battle Pirates, and War Commander, and now Kabaam has entered [...]]]> http://osg1.com/2012/03/the-future-of-osgs/feed/ 2 http://osg1.com/2012/02/mobile-9-colonies-for-ios/ http://osg1.com/2012/02/mobile-9-colonies-for-ios/#comments Mon, 13 Feb 2012 12:49:17 +0000 Micah http://osg1.com/?p=3337 Welcome, brave soldior. As a member of the strategy-game-craving masses, you’ve likely seen a few epic iOS strategizers here and there. If you’re anything like me, an unabashed outer-space geek, you most definitely have a creamy spot for genre classics like Master of Orion. If all of that rings true, and you have an iOS [...]]]> http://osg1.com/2012/02/mobile-9-colonies-for-ios/feed/ 3 http://osg1.com/2012/02/mmo-of-the-year/ http://osg1.com/2012/02/mmo-of-the-year/#comments Mon, 06 Feb 2012 22:19:14 +0000 OliverGodfreed http://osg1.com/?p=3479 http://osg1.com/2012/02/mmo-of-the-year/feed/ 3 http://osg1.com/2012/01/interview-with-top-grepolis-player/ http://osg1.com/2012/01/interview-with-top-grepolis-player/#comments Sat, 28 Jan 2012 19:04:46 +0000 OliverGodfreed http://osg1.com/?p=3472 Recently Micah had a chance to talk to one of the top Grepolis players!

They created Halo for the original X-Box. Yeah. From a creepy one bedroom apartment housing two dudes, to a fully-loaded game studio stuffed full of free snacks. From freedom to indentured servitude and back to freedom again (but still with some indentured servitude). I like these guys.
