La batalla de Quatre Bras - Napoleonic Book - Spanish Language Only

Wed, 27 Oct 2009 GMT

La batalla de Quatre Bras, 16 de junio de 1815 (BOOK IN SPANISH)

ISBN:978-84-9328-617-0
Páges: 68 Pages in color with Photos, Maps en 2D and 3D, Graphics
Autores: David Gómez yand others.

Wargames Soldiers and Strategy have been studying and designing this initiative for some time, and finally, thanks to many people, they can now offer it to you. The idea is not to market an exhaustive analysis of a battle or campaign, as many marvelous studies are already on the market for anyone who wants to study a given action in depth. What they offer is a 68-page paperback in full colour, in which a fan can find everything he needs without having to refer to a thousand different sources. In other words:

• A short historical narrative of the action in question
• 2D and 3D maps to locate the units at all times
• Complete order of battle
• Tables describing the uniforms of all the units present at the battle
• Information on flags, commands and organization

The book is fully illustrated with photos of miniatures painted by the more reputable painters in the wargame world today.

They have chosen QUATRE-BRAS for this first volume, because of its importance and relevance, the battle of Quatre-bras, prior to Waterloo. All the miniatures and deployments you see were painted by Javier Gomez “el Mercenario” and David Gomez. At the moment, the book will be only in Spanish and they are already preparing the next, which will have a theme from the Second World War.

This turn-based grand strategy title, the highly improved and expanded sequel to WW2: Road to Victory, puts the player in charge of the political, economic and military decisions of one or more Axis or Allied nations, including minor nations. A diplomacy system based on political points allows you to sway possible allies to your side. An upgraded and expanded naval combat system includes fleet engagements, combat patrols, massive aircraft carriers, elusive raiders and U-Boats as well as a convoy system.

WW2: Time of Wrath is fought across turns that vary in length by season and 25 km hexes with divisions and corps, giving the player a broad strategic picture of the war while still leaving enough room for operational decisions.

Get the update here. This update is comprehensive and will bring any previous version to 1.60. We strongly recommend that every owner of WW2: Time of Wrath upgrades to this version of the game.

Smugglers IV In Stores

Thu, 21 Oct 2009 GMT

Matrix Games (www.matrixgames.com) and Niels Bauer Games (www.nielsbauergames.com) are pleased to announce the release of the turn-based space trading game Smugglers IV - Doomsday on the Matrix Games Online Store.

Smugglers IV - Doomsday is a fun and challenging turn-based space-trading game where you take command of an advanced space ship amidst a galaxy torn by war and crime! With your ship and skilled crew you can choose to be a greedy trader, ambitious bounty hunter, ruthless pirate, or one of the other professions in your quest for riches, fame, and power!

David Heath, Director of Operations at Matrix Games, said “Smugglers IV is a great game that really pulled us in with ‘just one more turn’ gameplay. The galaxy is a sandbox for your alter-ego and it’s really up to you how far you rise or how fast you fall (and whether you stay within the law or go completely outside it). The backstory and ongoing events add to the immersion, but the high replayability and fun gameplay are what kept us coming back and ultimately made up our minds that we needed to bring this title to our customers.”

Through trading, fulfilling missions, or pirating, you can earn the money and skills necessary to buy new ships and upgrade your equipment. As success brings larger ships, missions, and enemies, you'll have to manage a crew, board & plunder enemy ships, and even conquer star systems. You can move up in rank with the factions you align with and gain special abilities and powers as you become more experienced.

Smugglers IV offers addicting open-ended gameplay where the opportunities for victory are virtually limitless – make your choices wisely, however, as your actions will ultimately have an impact on a galactic scale!

Non-linear war and campaign system. You can influence the war and how you do that is now displayed even better.
Unique text engine providing different storylines of the war and mission descriptions (e.g. 10,000 different war declarations possible). Maybe this is the first time this has been successfully accomplished in a computer game.
New music and SFX created by Nathan Madsen.
Special locations spawning on the map (like hidden treasures, spy ships, VIP traders, alien artifacts...).
Smuggling and pirating are lucrative and meaningful with hideouts and aging of criminal flags.
Become Admiral and get command over a fleet of ships (in some missions).
Attack large space stations and conquer whole star systems!

The Three Musketeers Hits Store Shelves

Sat, 16 Oct 2009 GMT

Dingo Games, www.dingogames.com, has announced the release of their swashbuckling adventure The Three Musketeers: The Game for Windows and Mac. Available exclusively online, the game closely follows the plot of the original Three Musketeers novel. Players take control of the young gentleman d'Artagnan as he sets off for Paris in hopes of becoming a Musketeer.

Created by independent developer Dingo Games, the game features an old school top-down perspective with hand drawn 2d graphics. Players duel enemies, gather loot, and fire muskets as they make their way through the main story. The setting of 17th France, which is uncommon in games, creates a unique gaming experience. Minigames and sidequests are specific to the setting - in one sidequest players help the inventor of the flintlock musket.

The story focuses on d'Artagnan's adventures with the famous three Musketeers: Athos, Porthos, and Aramis. Cardinal Richelieu, the most powerful man in France, launches a plot to disgrace the queen and it's up to d'Artagnan and his three friends to save her honor. Later in the game, the beautiful but deadly Milady de Winter becomes the chief concern of the four comrades.

It took 165 years, but this classic tale has finally been faithfully adapted into a video game. There is a free demo available for Windows and Mac. For more information on The Three Musketeers: The Game go to www.dingogames.com/three-musketeers-game/

All for one and one for all!

Dragon Age: Origins Pre-Order Bonus on Impulse

Sat, 16 Oct 2009 GMT

Pre-Order Bonus: Formari Memory Band
Made by the Formari, these lyrium-infused rings are supposed to help apprentices retain their lessons.

They work rather well too well, perhaps, as less capable students sometimes wear three or four per finger.

Stats:
• Adds +1% to XP
• Adds one skill point

From the Makers of Mass Effect™, Star Wars®: Knights of the Old Republic™, and Baldur’s Gate™ comes an epic tale of violence, lust, and betrayal.

The survival of humanity rests in the hands of those chosen by fate. You are a Grey Warden, one of the last of an ancient order of guardians who have defended the lands throughout the centuries. Betrayed by a trusted general in a critical battle, you must hunt down the traitor and bring him to justice.

As you fight your way towards the final confrontation with an evil nemesis, you will face monstrous foes and engage in epic quests to unite the disparate peoples of a world at war.

A romance with a seductive shapeshifter may hold the key to victory, or she may be a dangerous diversion from the heart of your mission. To be a leader, you must make ruthless decisions and be willing to sacrifice your friends and loved ones for the greater good of mankind.

Armoured Shift Arrives for iPhone

Thu, 14 Oct 2009 GMT

Orbital Worlds, an independent game development studio, today announced the arrival of their debut iPhone title Armoured Shift in the App Store. The groundbreaking open-world space shooter challenges players to shoot down hordes of asteroids, enemy ships and bosses using a spaceship largely controlled by the iPhone/iPod Touch’s accelerometer. The unique tilt-based control scheme offered by Armoured Shift sets it apart from the more traditional dual-analog joystick format utilized by the majority of open-world shooters.

Armoured Shift can be downloaded in the App Store by visiting the following URL: http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=330544220&mt=8
Along with the innovative control system, Armoured Shift includes an original score with eight techno-styled tracks to listen to while destroying swarms of enemy ships and projectiles. Fluid visuals and multiple game modes also add to the experience.

“When designing Armoured Shift, our intention from the start was to make sure that it stood out from the rest of the pack,” said Abdul Hameed, co-creator of Armoured Shift. “We feel that we have gone beyond that initial goal by giving top-down shooter enthusiasts eye pleasing visuals and a novel way to control their craft. Expect yourself to lose track of time when blasting the hell out of all the asteroids and enemies hurdling towards you!”

Armoured Shift features:
• Six Expansive Open World Maps
• Stunning Graphics Running at 60 FPS
• Multiple Enemies, Bosses, Weapons and Power-Ups
• Arcade and Progressive Story Gameplay Modes
• 10,000 Player Online Leaderboard and In-Game Achievements
• Eight Original Composed Music Tracks
