  1. 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. I get the feeling that the game started out as a small game, but the developers snuck in as much stuff as they could before they got caught. I usually associate depth and scale in the same sentence, but what the game lacks in depth, it certainly makes up for it in scale. Read more

    Nothing flexes our imagination like alternate history scenarios, and World in Conflict delivers one that has us on the edge of our seat. It’s the late 1980s, and the Cold War is far from over. The commies have already made a push to invade Western Europe, and in a desperate move, have decided to mount a sneak attack on American shores. It’s your mission to contain the Soviet invasion and retake Seattle before the invaders paint the country red. Read more

    Flashy explosions, but it seems familiar… The game’s major asset is the tremendous visual effects and eye-candy. Guided missiles, Artillery, air strikes and the ever-present carpet-bombing and tactical nuke have never seen so vibrant. The fact that World in Conflict was coded with DirectX 10 in mind can be attributed for the game’s highly polished graphics and steep system requirements. Running the game in its ultra-high settings can lead to jaw-dropping reactions.... Read more

    For a conflict with such an awesome name, The Cold War wasn’t particularly exciting. Sure, it can be blamed for lots of smaller wars, but it certainly didn’t become World War Three like many people expected. The most impact it had on the world was on popular culture, spawning countless spy movies, war movies, comic books, toy laser guns that went “ZAP!” when you fired them, and of course, the build-it-yourself bomb shelter. 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. Is Soviet Assault worth £9.99? For avid fans of the original, probably. What's of more value is the total Complete... Read more

    World in Conflict is a PC game about the Soviet Union invading the United States in the 80s. As such, the weaponry is all modern day - humvees, tanks, helicopters, infantry. The graphics in this game are outstanding if you have a computer powerful enough to have the settings on high. The single player story is great - with cut scenes used to tell the story - but its a little on the short side. But the multiplayer action will keep you coming back to this game. The... Read more

  3. "JUST AWESOME!!!"

    The game looks just awesome, from the explosion light flashes and smoke to the detailed characters and vehicles. The gameplay is sheer fun and has a learning curve, with the first levels being easier to allow you time to learn the controls. But it does not stay that way, the final level will overwhelm you and required several saves and repeated attempts to finish. I have a pretty descent system -- Phenom 2.6 oc to 3.0, Asus EAH 4850 TOP, 4 gigs RAM, XFI Titanium Pro, WD... Read more

    I don't think I've ever used a software product this terrible. Using Vista and an Nvidia 8600GT with the latest drivers, the frame rate in this game is terrible: scrolling is choppy, the audio and video becomes desynchronized, and you can forget about using your second monitor for the mega map because it brings the game to a standstill even when playing at a reduced resolution. I've never seen a game this buggy: The display of words in menus sometimes turns to jibberish,... Read more or see product

    World in Conflict is the Best Strategy Game I've ever played it has a nice story, Cool graphics, audio, and it also supports directx 10 it has a similarity with company of heroes but i know this is the real deal all you have to find for a strategy game is here! the effects too is awesome and if you have a strong video card like Geforce 8800GT and a Vista Operating System you can consider this game as awesome because you can enable the directx 10 rendering and other...
