Three Moves Ahead - Empire: Total War
I like Troy S. Goodfellow a lot - and not just because I respect him as a writer or because I think he’s a nice guy. He is one smart cookie when it comes to strategy games - and with the help of fellow Game Trust member Tom Chick and former Computer Games Magazine alum Bruce Geryk - his Three Moves Ahead podcast is the only game in town to dissect the genre to infinity. Beyond that, it is informative and interesting; you can actually learn things entertain yourself for an hour.
This week’s podcast almost exclusively deals with Empire: Total War and what the trio thinks about it as a game, what might work better from a design perspective and a bunch of posturing on other topics and games. You can check out the latest podcast at Flash of Steel. Even if strategy is not your favored genre, this podcast is entertaining.
