Wargame European Escalation is certainly one of the most entertaining RTS we had to play since Men of War Assault Squad. With the stand alone expansion Wargame Airland Battle coming out in spring it’s only fitting to actually show how great is this game in multiplayer. For those that are not familiar with it we could compare this game as being the Arma of RTS. It’s design and game mechanic lead it to have a very realistic feel all considered while remaining kinda fast paced and enjoyable. Make sure to Check our review and multiplayer gameplay as well.

X-Com Enemy Unknown was a game that had high expectations from a large amount of player that were used to the original games. While many of those gamers were disappointed by the resulting game X-Com Enemy Unknown remain in our opinion one of the smoothest experience of that type of game there is. The game design and the smoothness of the controls is extremely well done. The music and environment are superb and manage to do the job just fine. The main downside to this game is that it’s soo well designed that it’s a little simplistic and this is largely due to the release of this game on consoles. So the game isn’t particularly hard when you understand how it work and when it is hard it’s usually hard for the wrong reasons and can be unfair beyond belief. Also there is a large diversity of map included in the game, but once you do finish the game, on your second try you will quickly realize how extremely repetitive this game can be. For these reason this game actually has a pretty poor re playability and that’s a shame. None the less you can see our complete campaign here for you enjoyment, it’s really cinematic!

This video actually feature a mission that was added to Men of War Assault Squad last Christmas. It’s a kind of easter egg i guess where you face a horde of Snowmen. Of course in the face of so many Snowmen all the faction available in the game unite to fight these creation from a Evil Scientist. Overall it’s a fairly easy mission to achieve and it can be quite a lot of fun to play in coop with people that don’t expect it.

A couple days ago Oneah bought me Shogun 2 Total War Rise of Samurai and you should all thanks him for this this gameplay video. It’s a little different from regular Shogun 2 Total War but overall it’s pretty much the same.

Knights of Honor is an extremely time consuming RTS game that allow you to build an empire in the Middle Age Europe. It’s not a super old game but it was made in 2D with a very good result. It’s really similar to the Total War series and the music is really good and relaxing.

Myth The Fallen Lord is one of those great RTS that existed before 3D graphic became the norm of video game. It’s a game that mix 2D animation with 3D map and the result is a very hard but enjoyable game. Bungie Studio, yes those who created Halo, really did an amazing job on this game and even by today standard it still look great and it’s still very hard to win unlike all the dummed down RTS we have now a day.

Revenge of the Titans is probably one of the most entertaining tower defense game created in the last few years. It is highly humoristic and extremely fast paced. There is a wide variety of turret you can use with good diversity of impact on the enemy Titan attacking. The diversity of enemies is also quite large and you will need to adjust yourself to the kind of attack you are facing.

This is a unofficial Men of war Assault squad trailer made by me.
I wanted to show of each faction in the game. Both as a tribute but also to show it for any person who is curious about the game and all the units.

I have to point out that not all the soviet units are in the video. Men of war has such a large amout of units that i could not get Soviet units in 1 vid.

Unfortunatly I could not add all the German units, but there is alot of them in there.

Music: just like you imagined by Nine Inch Nails.

This is a preview of the mission Men of War Vietnam What a Job! In this mission you play with a few US soldiers. Your objective is to seek and destroy the Vietcong that are hidding in the forest, bunkers and nearby village. It is very tricky since the enemies have heavy machine gun position that can really kill your guy easily in a single hit. It also pierce all the houses easly so it’s also effective against enemies.

This is a preview of the mission Men of War Vietnam Until The Trouble Troubles You. In this mission you play with a few Vietnamese and Russians advisers. After and airstrike on your convoy you need to escape the area but to do so you need seek and destroy many objectives. It’s a very tricky mission and will largely remind the veteran of the series of the previous titles where it was all about being stealthy and fighting against overwhelming odds.

This is a second preview of Men of War Vietnam in the Mission Gatecrasher. It is much different then the other missions. In this one you need to defend a base from a pretty crazy american attack. To do so you have accept to two vehicules. A t-54 and an APC. Now in this mission i do manage to keep them alive by moving them around carefully but if you don’t this mission can become very tricky.

Thanks to 1C Company I’m now able to show you this Men of War Vietnam Die Hard Attack Mission Preview.

In this mission you have 3 main objectives, You need to take out a sniper, then clear a series of bunkers and finally take out an Vietnamese base to capture plans.

The gameplay is the same as the previous Men of War. The main difference are the uniforms and weapons that now enter modernity. Also the environment as you may expect is a dense jungle like we never saw in previous titles. This allow both you and the enemies to play a hide and seek game where it’s very easy to lose sight of your own troops as well as the enemies.

The weapons are also much more deadly then WW2 weapons making the game feel more fast paced as well as more realistic. Like in the original Men of War you usually control very few men against overwhelming odds. The difference being that in this one a mistake can make you lose many troops quickly.

I will publish a couple more videos in the coming days to allow Men of War fans to make their mind about this incoming Men of War Vietnam stand alone expansion that will allow you to play a campaign as well as coop.

World of Tanks is a kind of free MMO. Essentially you gain points that you can invest in buying better tank or equipment as you play. It’s mostly stats driven as oppose to being realistic like Men of War Assault Squad. But it has some tactical charms, each type of tank has strength and weakness and if you team has a clue you can have fun victories.
