Battlefield 2142 Deluxe Edition is the complete Battlefield experience containing the original game the Northern Strike booster pack and a new map Highway Tampa. In Battlefield 2142 the dawn of a new ice age has placed the world on red alert. Most of the earth is covered by ice and the parts that aren’t iced over can only feed a fraction of the Earth’s population. Therefore the majority of the population will eventually die. Gamers must choose to fight for one of two military superpowers - the newly formed Pan-Asian Coalition or the European Union - in what will be a monumental battle for survival. Players will be delighted to know that they will be armed with an arsenal of hi-tech weaponry that would make Robocop proud including assault rifles sentry guns and cloaking devices. There will also be the opportunity to drive some of the most lethal vehicles known to man. Huge Battle Walkers engage in fierce combat on the ground while futuristic aircraft rule the skies. When taking on the Battle Walkers and futuristic aircraft players must stay extremely alert and use the arsenal of hi-tech countermeasures like smart mines and EMP grenades to their advantage. Up to 64 players can enjoy the epic online gameplay. Gamers will be dropped on the frontlines straight into the action as part of a formal squad or behind the scenes in Commander Mode to direct the strategic assaults of the other members of their team.

Did you know that December 21st in 2012 is the date that the world’s set to end according to the Mayan calendar? It could mean anything: massive sunspot activity reversal of the Earth’s magnetic field one of those things falling from space that people make films about… or maybe an alien invasion? Well if you’re getting stuck into Universe at War: Earth Assault you’d best run with alien invasion because that’s when the game kicks off and that’s what’s happening. Hailing from the studios of Petroglyph the developer behind Star Wars: Empire at War Universe at War: Earth Assault is a real time strategy title that pitches four factions into all out war: humans the Hierarchy the Masari and the Novus. In a nutshell the Hierarchy want to conquer Earth and it leads to all kind of bad news for our little blue and green sphere. High up the list of features in Universe at War: Earth Assault is what Petroglyph calls ‘Tactical Innovations’. This will allow players to retrain and customise their units even during the heat of battle. Get it right and you’ll find yourself overwhelming the enemy and making the most of tactical opportunities. Universe at War also features deformable terrain so you’ll be able to lay huge cities to waste and then come back to visit the battle scars you’ve left on the very planet. The game comes complete with a multiplayer mode that borrows from MMOs. Players will be able to engage each other on a persistent virtual Earth racking up achievements rewards and medals as they go.

This Gold Edition from publisher Sega bundles together the original Medieval II: Total War and its follow-on Medieval II: Total War Kingdoms. Medieval II: Total War is a visually stunning game that spans four and half centuries of the most turbulent era in Western history from 1080 to 1530 encompassing the golden age of chivalry the Crusades the proliferation of gunpowder rise of professional armies the Renaissance and the discovery of America. With Medieval II: Total War The Creative Assembly raises the spectacle of the Total War series to a whole new level by completely upgrading the game’s battlefield rendering system devising new methods for building and rendering cities and heavily revising the game’s combat animation system. With over 10000 troops now to command and hundreds of unit types players can experience massive battles in graphically rich environments enhanced by dynamic weather effects and vastly diverse terrain. Medieval II: Total War provides players the reigns to experience and rewrite one of the most fascinating periods of history to become the greatest power of the Middle Ages. Medieval II: Total War Kingdoms features four brand new campaigns including an opportunity to more fully explore The New World that was unlocked toward the end of Medieval II. In the Americas campaign players can retrace the steps of Hernn Corts in 1519 as he seeks to explore and conquer The New World. Players can earn the support of Spain and explore the mystery and riches of the New World or take control of the Aztec or Native American factions and call on the Gods and the bravery of vast armies to see off this new threat. Three other campaigns offer more detailed ‘magnifying glass’ campaigns within Great Britain Northern Europe and the Holy Land with many more regions than were originally shown in Medieval II. Featuring 13 new playable factions and over 150 new units Kingdoms allows players to control thousands of men on a single battlefield and lead them into conflict with new hero characters such as Richard The Lionheart and Saladin each armed with new powerful battlefield abilities. In addition players can use moated forts to garrison vast armies or seize control of key strategic points and explore new technology trees governed by religion and prestige. Players can experience a bloody clash between Pagans and Christians in the Northern European Teutonic Wars or take control of one of five factions in the Britannia campaign when England faces war on four fronts as once conquered lands rise up against them. Kingdoms also includes a new expanded Crusades campaign where players renew their fight for control of the Holy Lands with new factions devastating new units (such as the terrifying Greek Flame Thrower) legendary heroes and powerful holy relics.

Imagine an organisation so secretive that only a handful of people across the globe know that it exists: an organisation that recruits ‘outsiders’ to fight in an underground bloodsport like ancient gladiators. The combatants have only one option open to them - kill or be killed. Drug lords Mob bosses Dotcom billionaires rock stars and politicians rub shoulders with Hollywood superstars royalty and the aristocracy in The Club. Each one shares a lust for death bloodshed and chaotic gunplay and a belief that their wealth and power puts them above and beyond the reach of normal laws. The entry fee is astronomical and membership is for life. Once you’re in the club you can’t leave…unless you manage to fight your way through eight deadly arenas and 49 levels in single-player mode or multiplayer to secure your freedom from The Club. Tournament mode invites you to compete against other members of The Club in deadly tournaments spread across the globe. Each event must be played in sequence with points awarded based on your position in the league table. You only need to survive until the end of the tournament in order to unlock the next event but come in the top three and you will earn a bullet. During any event in Tournament you will have a maximum of five attempts before it’s ‘Game Over’. Within Tournament there is a handful of sub-modes if you will: Sprint Siege Survivor Time Attack and Run the Gauntlet are just how they’re described and add to the longevity. If you find that The Club is being a little tough on you (or you just can’t handle the heat you sissy) then Single Event is the option to choose. Here you can practice the events you have unlocked in Tournament mode. Multiplayer is a major plus factor in The Club as online play supports up to eight players. As in Tournament’s single-player mode there are several game types waiting within multiplayer such as Hunter/Hunted Kill Match Team Skullshots and Team Foxhunt. The Club - whichever way you play it - is all about the kill. Killing earns scores scores mean success and success means survival.

Conflict: Denied Ops features two agents from the CIA’s Special Activities Division. Their mission is to prevent a Third World dictatorship from gaining nuclear weapons; a mission that will take them across three continents and pit them against the ambitious powerful and dangerous men who control the arms smuggling trade. With the ability to play as either agent you can switch between two very different characters manoeuvre them rapidly into position and take full advantage of their individual skills and weapons. This is the essence of the game: each agent working with and protecting the other to create the perfect Denied Ops team. As a single-player experience you are plunged into the action after a short introduction to the two Special Activities Division agents Graves and Lang and a summary of the geo-political situation that lies at the heart of the game. There is a Co-Operative mode too enabling two players to play through the entire campaign story or individual missions. The big draw in Conflict: Denied Ops is the multiplayer facet. Up to 16 players can take part in Deathmatch Team Deathmatch and Conquest. It’s explosive stuff alright.
