Many of you have long been enjoying World in Conflict on the PC. Well, it's now time for Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 owners to get a taste of this World War real time strategy game. This isn't going to be an exact straight port however as there is going to be some new content appearing in the console versions.
So how does an RTS even work on controller and how well did the game transfer from the PC to the consoles?
Starting today (18.00 hours) until 23 December, players will download free World in Conflict (including expander Soviet Assault), Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag and Watch Dogs for PC via Uplay. More ...
I've collected quite a number of free games on UPlay. I can't say I'm the biggest fan of its bloated platform, but they have been pretty generous w freebies if you've kept up with their mailing list over time.
D2D is onto the fifth and final week of it's 5 Year Anniversary $5 Game Sale, this time giving several war titles the Lincoln treatment.
Highlights include 90% off Battlestations: Pacific and over 80% off on titles Company of Heroes Gold and Supreme Commander Gold.
Ten games in all fill the war list, with 20 other titles from all genres still being offered at $5 including Bioshock, Mount & Blade and The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena.
WOW! COH: Gold and World In Conflict: Gold for $10 is a STEAL! I already have the Original COH but none of the expansion packs so this is great!
Too bad D2D thinks the world is only USA, Canada, UK and Mexico. These region restrictions are an invite to piracy.
There's limitations and certifications you need to get to sell stuff in europe.
Worth Playing:
World in Conflict: Soviet Assault is a little difficult to score because there are two different versions of the game that cater to two very different crowds. On one hand, you have the $20 expansion pack, which adds six campaign missions and two multiplayer maps. The other version costs $30 and includes the original World in Conflict. There are clearly two audiences being targeted here, and the more loyal one seems to be getting the raw end of the deal. The six new missions are not worth $20, and aside from the six additional missions, Soviet Assault changes nothing else in the World in Conflict formula.
