It only takes a glimpse of Planetary Annihilation to understand that it thinks big. This real-time strategy game doesn't have you waging war on a county, or a country, a continent, or even a single planet. Instead, you set your strategic sights on a number of planets at once. You don't manage only a battle or two at a time; instead, you command your robotic forces across all these planets at once,...

For SoulCalibur: Lost Swords , Namco Bandai elected to use a free-to-play business model and, perhaps even more notably, ditch the multiplayer mode that was so central to past entries in the series. As it turns out, the decision to leave multiplayer out stems from the use of what its developer describes as "a pay-to-win model." In an interview with Siliconera , Lost Swords producer Masaaki Hoshino...
