Command & Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight is set in 2062, after the third Tiberium War and sees Earth on the brink of destruction, Tiberium is evolving and spreading so fast it will make the planet uninhabitable within a few years. There are plans in place, and Kane and the GDI must work together to save what is left. But there is opposition in the way, and it falls to you to try and battle your way to victory, and save the world.In a departure from the gameplay of the rest of the series, there are no longer resources to collect. In this game you must control more nodes than your opponent and use your resources to focus on either attack or defence. The end of the Kane saga is here, with an epic conclusion to the story and a great game in its own right there is a lot to enjoy here.
Europa Universalis: Rome
Europa Universalis: Rome brings players back to the ancient ages where Roman, Celtic, Greek, Egyptian and six other civilizations reigned dominant across the game's 53 different factions. Set in between the years 280 B.C. and 27 B.C, you'll get to not only rule but also guide the growth of your very own nation from being a fledgling into a country that the world will need to reckon with (if there are any nations left that you have yet to conquer or brought under your rule). The game retained much of what made the Europa Universalis franchise such as a success, including beautifully deisgned 3D topological maps, historically-accurate figure and events, as well as an insanely in-depth political landscape where you can forge an alliance as easily as you break one.There are also plenty of exciting changes and new features in this installment though. The important characters in the governance of your nation, for example, will develop new traits on their own through their interactions with other people in the game, much like how a human would, giving the game more of a challenge due to all the unpredictability. The military AI used here has been completely revised as well. In addition to the usual 32-player co-op, you can now play competitively against other players... up to 32 of them!
Europa Universalis: Rome is a decade old and as such, you may need to tap into some of the mods made by the game's community to help bring the game to a new level. That said, it's still a really good buy at the current discounted price and if you're a fan of grand strategy games, you should definitely get this one.
