Many years ago I discovered a boardgame called space hulk, along with its expansions I spent many a weekend locked in strategic games against friends. After that much time spent with it, when the second edition arrived I added it to my collection. The bonus being the vastly improved models for the game.

Now more recently I discovered a version of it for my mobile. I had seen the old computer game version but I didn’t really enjoy the PC game all that much. But playing a version of the original? With just the strategy being what I was wanting, I played through the whole campaign as both sides. Now, sitting on a train to work for 45 mins gives me plenty of time to listen to music, or play solitaire on the iPod. But want something to push my mind a bit further, I went for a game a I knew would get me thinking. The strategic map top down style of the game (and this is the only component that runs on my phone) is very reminiscent of the boardgame. Anyone who has played and enjoyed the game will probably like this version.

It can be quite challenging to beat on some of the maps, even with a background in the boardgame version it can still be difficult to win. I certainly recommend checking out a copy for yourself.
