Men of War, the new RTS that allows players to take direct control of any unit in the game.
New video from the game demonstrating a sniper unit.
Men of War takes place across the globe during the height of World War II and features four different armies – Russia, America, Germany and the British - each with their own unique units, vehicles and missions. From the Russian missions starring two student comrades innocent to the horrors of war, players are soon catapulted into massive battles with dozens of units under their command.
It's been abused, suppressed, slandered and maligned - but in truth it's one of the most distinctive, beautiful and original games of the 21st century.

Introducing the elite squad of Special Ops Minions that will star in Overlord Minions, coming this June for the Nintendo DS, Codemasters today released the first gameplay video of the fearsome foursome in action.
Get up close and personal with the Overlord’s best of breed in the trailer.
Giblet, Blaze, Stench, and Zap form the Minion crew that, assisted by Minion master Gnarl, feature in Overlord Minions, an irresistible and accessible puzzle action game designed exclusively for the Nintendo DS.
Set in the Overlord universe and penned by renowned games writer Rhianna Pratchett, Overlord Minions preserves the trademark humour of the Overlord series and features a completely new story, which runs parallel with Overlord® Dark Legend™.
In Overlord Minions the player assumes the role of the great Overlord and commands his crack commando team remotely. In this 100% touch screen controlled game, the Nintendo DS Stylus is truly mightier than the sword as players use the stylus as an extension of the Overlord’s evil will, commanding and combining the Elite Minion team through devilish puzzles and a huge range of warped enemies to prevent Silas, the head of a new Cult, from resurrecting an almighty Dragon and threatening the Overlord’s totalitarianism.
The Minion Special Farces Team
• Giblet: A brown minion and the main fighter, brave, willing, and a little dumb. • Blaze: A pyromaniac red minion who throws fireballs as a powerful range attack. • Stench: A sneaky green minion whose obnoxious ‘fart dart’ gases are not only flammable, but can overpower enemies with their sheer toxicity. • Zap: A blue minion and the mystic shaman of the unit. He channels magic through this body and can heal the other minions, should they be injured.
Whether they’re going into battle, combining to perform increasingly powerful attacks or solving puzzles, the Minion quartet’s on-going banter and playful-yet-ferociously-violent nature perfectly compliments the unfolding carnage of Overlord Minions.
Prepare to battle a huge range of new enemies from infected sheep, goats, spiders, paladins, infected dwarves, mutated trolls, scorpions, winged elves and many more as Overlord Minions launches this June, exclusively for the Nintendo DS.
