World in Conflict

Lost Empire: Immortals

Lost Empire: Immortals is one of those games you're going to love or hate. It is a strategy game with a low budget price, but it offers more than most console games that run you about 60 bucks.

If you have a penchant for any of this... Read more

New publisher Ubisoft's (the game and Swedish developer Massive Entertainment were picked up by the French company following the dissolving of previous publisher Sierra) decision to release the "expansion" in two ways: as an online download (£9.99 on Steam) and bundled with the original game as the Complete Edition, almost vindicates this criticism.
