DEFCON Preview

[Tyguy]

"Valve and Introversion today announced an agreement to deliver DEFCON, a new online strategy game from the creators of the award-winning Darwinia, via Steam, Valves pioneering broadband platform for games and digital content. In addition, Introversion's first game and cult hit Uplink is now available via Steam."[br]

​

[br]Is it just me, or is the ability to wipe out an entire nations population with the click of a mouse not only satisfying, but undeniably bold? Ahh well, take a look at the rest of the update here.

 

[Insano]

The news is screwed up at the frontpage.

 

[Tyguy]

ya, its getting fixed

 

[brisck1]

Wow man, it's just like being in that movie "wargames" !!

 

[anty]

It even has adopted the old graphics from wargames... :/

 

[Dodo]

doesnt a war in this game take weeks, like you send some subs around the world and to weeks later the arive where they started? looks cool, i want it.

-dodo

 

[Tyguy]

If I have to wait two weeks they better blow the shize outta something

 

[Sulkdodds]

The only way to win is not to play?

Oh no, wait, that's Risk.

 

[Sui]

Nonsense, I've won tons of games of risk

 

[Al3xand3r]

So where's the preview of the game

 

[dextro]

Been waiting for this game for quite some time, can't wait to play it Loved Uplink and Darwinia so I bet I'll love this one two... Interovision rockz! :naughty:

Will cost 15 bucks.

There is an option to have realistic time (so if you want to be real casual or play during work)

I'm SO renaming my computer to "WOPR".


Now appearing on Steam......"Global Thermonuclear War". :bounce:

 

[ZoFreX]

And if you're in work mode it minimises to a systray icon for stealth ^_^

Also: UPLINK ON STEAM!

Finally! Been waiting for that for a while...

Actually, Introversion made that game once already. It was an easter egg in Uplink. You could also nuke the main capitals of the world there

 

[Praetorius]

Oooh, the Uplink/Darwinia pack is looking mighty tempting now...

 

[Para]

Introversion is made of awesomeness.

 

[kupocake]

I'm a little disappointed that Darwinia owners don't get suddenly gifted Uplink because we paid the same price as the Darwinia / Uplink package back on release... but that's just wishful thinking. As for DEFCON. I dare say it'll be one of those games I suddenly just impulse buy. Nice and cheap after all...

 

[Mand0lesi]

Waiting until the release of DEFCON in September may be best (if you don't already own Uplink and Darwinia) because they might have a package with all three at a better deal.

Do. You. Want. To. Play. A. Game?

Sorry, someone had to say it

And yes. Yes, I would like to play a game. Specifically, this game.
