Sally forth! Man the catapult! We're laying siege to the castle in Taleworld's new expandalone to Mount & Blade, which adds great new multiplayer and singleplayer options, plus a graphical upgrade. Is Mount & Blade finally out of the dark ages? Find out within!

Mount and Blade may have modest indie origins, but we reckon there's a hell of a lot of fun to be had in this open world, free-roaming medieval simulator. Check out our thoughts as we send Andy to conquer a kingdom with nought but a steed and a broadsword!

The second Medieval: Total War game is here, and it promises to be more ravishing, more brutal and more tactical. Is this the RTS of choice for the Yuletide season? We polish off our armour and charge right in.
