 | Last month's Cracked LCD Countdown was one of the most popular and beloved board game article to ever appear on the internet. I am positive that sales of all of the listed games surged over the past coup... |

 | Pictured is a game that doesn't look like any fun to me at all. Images like this are why I wasn't terribly enthusiatic about Vlaada Chvatil's DUNGEON LORDS prior to release. I thought it was going to win... |

 | This week's Cracked LCD is one of those highbrow theory articles that I like to write every so often about the way I think games ought to be. I tried really hard to piss someone off in it by calling game... |

 | In this week's bid to piss off Fortress: AT readers, I'm reviewing a game that almost no one will be able to play. It's GREED, INCORPORATED and the review is, as usual, at Gameshark.com. Some suggested t... |

 | Today is a dark day for FortressAT.com. Here I was thinking that we represented the best and brightest community in all of hobby gaming and in our first contest, not a single F:ATtie has won a prize. I a... |

 | The Count suggests a couple of interesting questions:
1. Where and on whom does he feed?
2. Does having a vampire's castle in the neighborhood lower property values on Sesame Street?
That all has noth... |

 | Frank Branham claimed that CLAUSTROPHOBIA "might be better than SPACE HULK" when he introduced it to me. I listened to my gut instinct, which tells me that no man that enjoys the taste and texture of C... |

RUNEWARS is, as many of us know by now, a pretty great game. I like it a lot, and after owning it for about a month I still want to play it week in and week out, which is a good sign. I think it's got ... |

 | You may ask yourself "why the hell was John Romero, designer of DAIKATANA, talking about Sid Sackson last week?" The answer is that Mr. Doom himself was giving a talk about the "Masters of Game Design"... |

 | By now, you've probably heard that SUMMONER WARS is a good one- our very own Matt Drake wrote a review of it something like ten years ago and gave it high praise. I even stole the picture at left from ... |

"Today is Christmas. There will be a magic show at eleven hundred hours."

 | OK, this just in from FFG. The new big box game is HORUS HERESY, obviously a 40K-themed board game and I _think_ it may actually be a ridiculously produced edition of the old game of the same name, it's ... |
