OgreCave reviews: Battue, MagnetX, Marvel Heroscape
A trio of boardgame reviews just went live on the site, each catering to slightly different tastes. First, Lee has a detailed look at Battue: Storm of the Horse Lords from Red Juggernaut. Then I’ve thrown in my review of MagnetX by relative newcomer PsyX Games. Finally, Lee gets the heroes brawlin’ by checking out Hasbro’s Marvel Heroscape. Enjoy ‘em, and we’ll see what else we can post before our GAMA Trade Show ‘08 coverage takes over next week.

New reviews from the Cave
Just to bring them everyone’s attention, I thought I’d point out the latest new reviews we’ve posted. Some of these were attached to the 2007 Christmas Gift Guide:
- Lee Valentine reviewed Blue Panther’s Taiji and Playroom Entertainment’s Unspeakable Words.
- My daughter and I reviewed Bendomino from Blue Orange Games.
- Mike gave us his take on Zombie Fluxx from Looney Labs.
More coming up soon. Stay tuned.

Audio Report - 2007 Ogre’s Choice Awards
Despite my extra hours at work, the editing’s finally complete on our latest OgreCave Audio Report. Our first episode ever with all four regulars, we close out the Gen Con ‘06 - Gen Con ‘07 product year with our second annual Ogre’s Choice Awards. Now, keep in mind that we recorded this before all D&D 4th Edition announcement hoopla, so you can see how our predictions stack up against the info WotC has managed to get out to the world.

OgreCave review: Critical Hit Deck
Ever since our technical glitch, we’ve been working on streamlining OgreCave’s reviews section. So far, its not quite cooperating, but in the meantime, reviews shall proceed! To that end, I’ve put up my review of the Critical Hit Deck by Paizo Publishing, which my weekly group helped me put through its paces. We’ll have the review section more properly wrangled soon, we promise.

OgreCave review: Faery’s Tale
I’d hoped to post this last Friday, but an eye appointment and my resulting dilated pupils made for rather poor typing skills. So now we have Brian “Kuma” Hollenbeck’s look at Faery’s Tale by Firefly Games. Have a read, and see what makes this versatile-yet-child-friendly RPG tick, or look over some of our other reviews.

OgreCave reviews: Westbrook and Stars
Our reviewers are hard at work evaluating game materials so you don’t have to. This time, Justin tells us about Beginnings: Westbrook from 3am Games. And I’ve finally gotten around to posting Demian’s thoughts on The Stars Are Right, one of this year’s revised Call of Cthulhu releases from Chaosium.

Hecatomb First Look
A couple of us Cave dwellers got to play around with some Hecatomb TCG starters early last week. You would’ve heard about it in our OgreCave Audio Report last week if not for the aforementioned pooch-screwage. Now that I’m back from a cross-country jaunt, let me summarize what conclusions we came up with about WotC’s latest CCG experiment.

OgreCave reviews: Sword & Skull
Our new review comes from Merwin, who has explored the recent addition to the Avalon Hill boardgame line, Sword & Skull by Wizards of the Coast. He’s weighed anchor (as well as the rest of the game), and tells us if it’s worth hauling around, or if we’re better off saving our gold for other adventures.

OgreCave reviews: Idylls of the Rat King
Everything old has become new again with the advent of D&D 3.5, including many of the first adventures. Matthew gives us his take on the recently-updated retro module Dungeon Crawl Classics: Idylls of the Rat King by Goodman Games. Did Matthew think the adventure was worth updating? Have a look and find out.

OgreCave reviews: Yog-Sothoth and an Exosuit
Sounds like a quirky sit-com title, doesn’t it? But no, it’s our latest reviews! Demian has looked deeply into the abyss of Shadows of Yog-Sothoth by Chaosium, and given us whatever sane thoughts he has left. Also, Cedric’s review of Exosuit AOK by Deep7 should enlighten any reader, otaku or not.
