Call of Duty: Ghosts takes the critically-acclaimed franchise into the next generation. Watch the Reveal Trailer here!

Available to pre-order but not released until 5th November 2013…

Games Workshop have released an iOS version of Talisman.

The legend begins with a single-player series of adventures designed to invite both veterans and newcomers to explore the land of Talisman. While multiplayer gameplay will be available in upcoming expansions, Talisman Prologue focuses on creating narrative depth through its single-player campaigns. The story unfolds as the player rolls dice to move around the outer, middle, and inner regions of the board. Each space will require the player to draw a card or resolve a special effect, leading your hero to encounter monsters, discover friendly followers, and gather treasure.

It’s a pity that it is a single player game, as the real fun with Talisman is that it was for multiple players. There are no AI players either. However at £2.99 this is nice and cheap and certainly good value for money.

Get Talisman in the App Store.

I got the original Talisman back in the 1980s, and one expansion that I always enjoyed was the Talisman Timescape which introduced a science fiction (okay science fantasy) element to the game.

Though intrigued by the new version of Talisman from Fantasy Flight Games, I’ve never bought a copy. Even so I am quite interested in their new game, Relic, which is based on the Talisman Game System.

If you look at the board, you will see it seems very familiar to those who have played Talisman.

I think this could be a fun game.

Now roll VT….

Spartan Games are allowing you to download their fantasy naval rules, Uncharted Seas for free.

Set in an exciting and deadly fantasy realm, the Uncharted Seas is a fast paced naval game that delivers plenty of fun as you game with our stunningly detailed miniatures. In this fantastical realm you will recreate in miniature the exploits of various races, including the Dragon Lords, Iron Dwarves, Imperial Humans, Shroud Mages, Bone Griffons, Orc Raiders, Thaniras Elves, Ralgard and the Sky Pirates.

Spartan Games are also offering 30% of any Uncharted Seas models, including scenery. Thinking that Lighthouse would be ideal for Dystopian Wars!!!

Download the rules and fleet PDFs from here.

A computer game version of Space Hulk is coming in 2013. I really do enjoy playing the boardgame, suspect that the computer game will be fun, but nowhere near as good as the boardgame.
