August 31st 2008 | | Ankit takes another week off, but we welcome long time Shift Queue fan Steve Kowalski to the show. We were blessed with another busy RTS week following the recent gaming convention in Germany. Games this week include World War II: Road to Victory, Birth of America 2, Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3, Hearts of Iron 3, and more. As we mentioned last episode, the discussion this week is about rewards in games and really... who doesn't like a nice reward for playing games?

August 23rd 2008 | | Ankit takes a break this week leaving the news to just Kris and Eamon. We return to the timeless console vs PC gaming argument, but this time with the newly formed PC Gaming Alliance and $2,500 worth of stats at our sides. The games this week include a new Company of Heroes, Sid Meier's Civilization IV: Colonization, yet another Strategic Command, and more. The discussion is non-existent, but somehow physics and folding work their way in. Unfortunately people get fired anyway.

August 13th 2008 | | Unfortunately the summer RTS lull continues, but we dug deep and found a few gems in the rough. This week we try out Stardock's Impulse and go on a great invasion. The games this week start and end with Theatre of War 2 with a bit of War Between the States. Activision Blizzard decides World in Conflict is not worth it, and we also come to the conclusion that Africa offers everything, even pretty gems.
