    The life of a pirate is often glamourised, but I don’t think it was all it was cracked up to be. Spending months out at sea, risking life and limb for booty and then leaving it on some deserted island seems somewhat stupid to me. Then there’s the fact that you’re a wanted criminal and if captured will most likely end up dead. Still, pirates are big business; just looking at the success of the recent Pirates of The Caribbean trilogy is enough to tell you that. The... Read more

    Pirates: Duels on the High Seas is a game that could have potential. It has a lot of the right ingredients, but they all get executed wrong or ignored, leaving us with a game that operates in a constant state of dullness.

The game is obviously designed for children, but I have trouble... Read more
