Get the Homeworld Remastered Collection, Deserts of Kharak, and 8 more RTS games for just $8
RTS games generally aren't my thing, mostly because I'm not very good at them. But I loved the original Homeworld: Enemy AI was too easily exploited (although for me, that's a feature, not a bug) but the setting and presentation were magnificent—more than enough to make it one of

You can get two of the greatest RTS games in PC history for less than $4
Any list of the greatest RTS games would probably include Homeworld or Homeworld 2, one of the most exciting one-two punches in video game history. The Homeworld Remastered Collection bundled both games together and created a new multiplayer suite, incorporating features from eac

The Homeworld Remastered Collection is less than $4 so grab it or else

Between Company of Heroes, Warhammer 40k, and Age of Empires 4 , Relic has a strategy game pedigree to rival the likes of Westwood and Firaxis. But perhaps its greatest series is Homeworld, the sci-fi RTS that took the formula of AoE and Command and Conquer and shot it into space

Homeworld 3 is still a while away, but remastered versions of the classics are now free-to-keep
Homeworld 3 was originally scheduled for a 2022 release, which got pushed to 2023, and then pushed again into 2024 . All up that's a substantial delay, but it has offered ample time to catch up on earlier instalments, at least. Now's an especially good time to do that, because th

MacOS Catalina update is about to punt 32-bit games off the platform
Oh, to be a Mac owner. Not that we’ve got it great on PC – my rig’s been bricking it since last week’s Windows update, after all – but it’s been a long time since a big OS update killed half of my game library. Desktop gaming always gets around to leaving a generation behind, tho
