Officers World War II PC video game - strike back and defeat the Axis menace in Europe

On 6th June 1944, The Liberation of France Began.....

Officers puts you in command of the Allied forces in the largest conflict of our time. Take control of the US and British Commonwealth armies in order to strike back and defeat the Axis menace in Europe along the Western Front.

With over 1500 units on maps of up to 10 square miles, Officers is the first WWII RTS to let you fight on a truly massive scale. Historical battles like Operations Overlord, Millennium and Cobra will put your tactical skills to the test using combined forces from infantry and engineers to tanks, artillery and bombers. Blazing speed and blunt force will only secure victory if you extend your supply lines and capture enemy weaponry and warehouses. Take the high ground and use terrain to your advantage. An advanced map and mod editor let’s you continue the war with the ability to create additional historical or alternative scenarios.

Your Mission:

• Operation Overlord - one of the biggest offensives ever seen in warfare - has one aim: to break the Germans’ Atlantic Wall.
• Important depots and production facilities are the enemy’s preferred targets and must be held and protected.
• From your air-fields you can launch reconnaissance flights, bombing missions or airborne troops.
• Behind enemy lines, parachute units can operate very effectively – but they need appropriate support from air force or artillery.
• The change from day to night and the weather affect events and dictates which equipment is appropriate.
• Organize the urgently required supplies of fuel, food and ammunition, otherwise important troops can no longer be deployed.
• Campaigns during the winter months make warfare even more difficult and require appropriate materials and equipments.
• Vehicles and weapons can be damaged by enemy action or suffer from over-use, so they require regular care and servicing to keep them ready for combat.

Officers: World War II will be available on the 22nd May 2009 at a RRP of £24.99

Uncharted 2 - Among Thieves Online multiplayer features revealed!

Five-Versus-Five Player Matches Competitively - Up To Three Player Cooperative Modes

Sony Computer Entertainment announce that UNCHARTED 2 Among Thieves - exclusive to PLAYSTATION 3 (PS3) - will introduce online competitive and cooperative multiplayer modes to the franchise. Developed by Naughty Dog Inc., UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves, the highly-anticipated follow up to UNCHARTED: Drake’s Fortune, will feature up to 10 players in 5-versus-5 competitive gamezplay.



Cooperative multiplayer modes allow up-to-3 players to progress through a variety of environments by working together to accomplish set objectives. Using a robust party system, groups of players will remain together in ranked and custom matches while earning currency, which used in combination with currency earned in single player missions, will unlock additional content and upgrades.

Presented with multiple modes of competitive gameplay, players battle in ranked matches that include Team Death Match and Capture the Treasure, a unique style of multiplayer competition that encourages team work to transport a treasure over dynamic terrain such as ledges and obstacles. Capture the Treasure brings truly vertical game play to traditional multiplayer modes. With maps based on environments from the single player campaign, players are taken from the night time streets of a war torn city to a Nepalese village and have the ability to create custom games allowing them to play any type of game on any map.



“Adding a multiplayer aspect to the UNCHARTED franchise is a significant step in the re-playability of the game,” said Christophe Balestra, co president Naughty Dog. “UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves will be the most impressive and ambitious game that Naughty Dog has done and we are thrilled to let our fans experience it this fall.”

UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves is the story of Nathan Drake, a fortune-hunter with a shady reputation and an even shadier past who is lured back into the treacherous world of thieves and mercenary treasure-seekers. The tenth game by premier PS3 system developer Naughty Dog, UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves allows players to take control of Drake and embark on a journey that will push him to his physical, emotional and intellectual limits to discover the real truth behind the lost fleet of Marco Polo and the legendary Himalayan valley of Shambhala.

Rhiannon - Curse of the Four Branches video game for download

Welsh developer Arberth Studios has joined with games portal Gamersgate to offer the English-language version of its supernatural adventure 'Rhiannon: Curse of the Four Branches' for download. The non-exclusive deal covers all publishing territories of the world.

Arberth's co-founder Noel Bruton comments "We're very excited about this opportunity. It means that 'Rhiannon' is now available anywhere with a good Internet link, which opens it up even to territories where we don't yet have direct publishing arrangements. It can put 'Rhiannon' in the hands of more players, which is why we wrote it - to get it played. It's a great alternative route to market for the smaller independents like ourselves."

However, it is not just the increased and immediate product distribution that drew Arberth to Gamersgate, but the flexibility and quality of the facility. Bruton continues, "Gamersgate's online inventory monitoring service allows us to track and manage sales almost in real time, which is a far cry from the comparatively primitive, after-the-fact periodic sales reports from some more conventional publishers. We see offerings like Gamersgate as a key part of the future of access to adventure videogames."
