Iron Man 2 attempted to do what many superhero film movies have tried in the past, that is, to not suck. But like many of its predecessors it fails, 
miserably. Where to begin?
The character models are unrealistic, plastic, clunky, and downright scary in some cases. Rhodes looks like a zombie that was stuck in a microwave for a week. The graphics are sub-par and look like they weren’t even updated from the last game. Environments might be large but they’re filled with useless things that can neither be destroyed nor used in anyway and overall the enemies are constantly recycled so that one might believe there are only actually five or six different enemies in the whole game aside from the bosses.

Legio, I thought was going to be a far more involved game. But really it’s just a turn-based chess-like title. You choose your troops, choose the battlefield and have at it. The game’s copy states that it’s “an intense experience, requiring careful strategic thinking, rewarding both

I already wrote a lot of my thoughts in the preview for AQUA Naval Warfare from 
Slovak studio, Games Distillery. But I have played more of the game now and with its release this week I thought it time to score it.
As I said in the preview you take on the role of Captain Gray who is piloting a Cruiser in the Emperean Navy (Brit/US). With your help, the war with the Gotheans (Russians) is recently ended and you take on a side mission (unapproved of course) to do a little treasure hunting. What you find is that there’s more afoot than simple peace talks.
