Haxsys 2.0

Despite having the most irritating title of any game on this list thus far, Haxsys 2.0 (grrr) has many qualities about it that make me smile.  First and foremost, one of the ships you can choose from looks like an old-style Arwing, which made me squeal like a fangirl.

Other than that, though, the concept is a new spin on an old classic (domination).  It's a delightful step forward in the process of evolving conflict in games to purely combat.  It's tough to explain, so I'll just recommend that you give it a try so I can skip the summary of the mechanics.

I'm really at a loss for words with this game.  Something about how it combines fast-paced action with Risk and Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing in a genuinely fun and engaging way just leaves me kind of awestruck.

You know what? I think I have to leave it there.  I just can't say anything more about this game. Sorry for the weak review, but at least I'm making your job easier.  Play this game. It's worth your time.

Until next time, stay polygonal.
