Eurogamer takes a look at this highly anticipated game from Vivendi Games. World in Conflict started life two years ago as a multiplayer concept: specifically, it was born from the desire to recreate the accessibility of first person deathmatch games but in a real-time strategy game. The game's developer, Massive Entertainment, wanted to create an RTS title that's as easy to pick up and play as an FPS, and the key to doing that, it reckoned, was to emulate the respawn function that's a hallmark of most arena combat games. And it's this that gives the game its defining characteristic: when your units die, the credits they cost to produce are returned and can be used again to produce further reinforcements. Thus, every player has the same amount of resources and is competing on a totally level playing field.
World in Conflict is a Cold War based RTS game that came out in 2007 on the PC. Is it worth a replay today?

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.
In case you missed Ubisoft’s free giveaways, the French company is once again offering Watch_Dogs, World in Conflict & Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag for free for a limited time. These three titles are free on UPLAY right now. From today and until December 23rd, you can log into UPLAY and claim your free copies.
There is a reason I support this company. This is just icing. New IPs, not afraid to take a chance... Nicely done.
