Fantasy Flight Games has acquired the rights from Lucasfilms to publish Star Wars games. Woot! This includes Board, Card, Roleplaying, and Miniatures. So of course one of their first releases will be X-Wing, a miniatures game.
Elliott sits down to share his review of the WWII aerial combat game Nightfighter from GMT Games.
The 30th Anniversary Edition of Call of Cthulhu the classic Role Playing Game is in stores now, or you can order it directly. You’d better act fast, they expect to be sold out by the end of August.
Elliott talks with author Peter Clines about his novels Ex-Heroes and Ex-Patriots. These novels feature the Zombie Apocalypse meets super heroes done the right way.
The Legend of Drizzt board game follows the adventures of Drizzt Do’Urden, a Dark Elf from the novels of R. A. Salvatore.
Munchkin Deluxe from Steve Jackson Games is now available. Now you can step it up a notch. Personally, I crank my Munchkin games to Level 11. Everyone else’s only goes to ten, but I’ve got an 11.
Asmodee is producing a brand new revamped version of Evo which is rumored to be coming out this August.
W. Eric Martin, of BoardGameGeekNews fame, is reporting of the possible liquidation of NG International, the Italian company that publishes Nexus Games. Nexus is probably best know for their War of the Ring and Wings of War titles. What this means for the futures of those, and many, other Nexus games is still up in the air. Will Fantasy Flight Games step in and purchase the rights to WotR and WoW (Wings of War – not World of Warcraft!) as well as some other titles? I could see FFG picking up War of the Ring, but fans of Wings of War should be concerned because the American gaming titan already had cut WoW loose just a couple months back.
In a very interesting marketing move, Columbia Games has announced that you can check out Richard III: War of the Roses for less than a dollar! Off hand I can’t think of any other gaming company that will let you try out one of their titles for a month before they charge you. Kudos to the gang at Columbia for… wait for it… thinking “outside the box”!
No Smurf Left Behind is out just in time to get your Smurf fix on. Maybe you don’t give a smurf about the movie, but your kids will love this smurfin awesome game from WizKids.

Reaper Miniatures has announced their latest releases and they cover a wide range of lines. The official release dates were July 18th so they should easily be available now
