My Dog Coach - Understand Your Dog with Cesar Millan uses interactive games to teach Cesar Millan’s world-renowned methodology and help owners understand how their dogs' minds work. The player is confronted with 40 different common dog issues and, using Cesar Millan’s guidance, learns how to deal with each of them.
Best known as the charismatic host of “Dog Whisperer” on Sky Three, Cesar Millan has spent over 20 years working as a dog behavior expert and developing the “Power of the Pack,” a unique methodology for fixing dogs’ behavioral problems.
“Ubisoft’s creative team has worked in close collaboration with Cesar Millan to create a game that successfully delivers his unique approach to dog behavior rehabilitation,” said Christian Salomon, vice president of worldwide licensing at Ubisoft. “The player takes the role of Cesar Millan’s apprentice and learns all about dog psychology through imaginative and entertaining gameplay.”
“Ubisoft’s team has done an amazing job turning the ‘Power of the Pack’ methodology into an interactive experience,” said Cesar Millan. “The game is easy to play and offers many fun ways to learn rehabilitation techniques that can be applied to dogs in the real world.”

As you already know, while developing strategy games we pay much attention to historical details.

Birth of America II - Wars in America 1750-1815 is the sequel to the successful strategy PC game Birth of America. Out 19th September 2008, this new historically accurate battle strategy game lets players experience North America wars between 1750 and 1815.
The Battle of New Orleans in January 1815, between British and Americans, was the final major battle of the War of 1812. British General Pakenham, unaware that the peace Treaty of Ghent had been signed, led 300 troops to invade America’s vast Western lands. Out numbered by 2000 American soldiers, Pakenham was defeated, fleeing with his troops from the region of Louisiana.
The campaign can be played as the Americans, leading forces into battle as General Andrew Jackson, the seventh president of the United States. To win The Battle of New Orleans, players must conquer five strategic cities and ensure that the objectives of Nouvelle Orleans, Grand Ecor Blanc, La Borgne and Pontchartrain are successfully completed.
If the player bravely decides to try and conquer New Orleans as the British, they can rule as General Sir Edward Pakenham. Victory will be claimed if the battle ends with the British in control of two strategic cities and all objectives completed successfully. However, players must be aware of the hazardous bayou creeks and US fortifications that act as dangerous traps for the British troops.
The Battle of New Orleans historically ended with an American victory with General Pakenham dead and British troops retreating from the region. However, the game gives players the opportunity to change this, taking victory for Pakenham and altering the course of history.
