Ask any old-school PC gamer about his favorite tactical games, and more often than not you'll find a Jagged Alliance title near the top of the list. It's a name held in nearly as high regard as X-COM or Syndicate, and for good reason. Sir-Tech's clas...

Going back to improve on older games can sometimes muck up what worked rather than fix what was awry in the first place. That's partially the case with Jagged Alliance: Back in Action, a remake of the second game in the series that attempts to freshen...
Lots of mercs to hire and gear to customize, Combat is fun when it clicks.

Oh, hello again Jagged Alliance: Back In Action. It seems only a couple of months ago (it was) that I was giving the game a thorough preview, now I'm coming back to see if the game's hot and the ironing's been done. Considering the pedigree of the Jagged...
