Coming out in September, Defcon by Introversion.

Simple, fast, furious and most importantly insane fun for all. After reading this interview I just can't wait, I have always wanted to play a game based on the Wargames movie and this looks like as good as it is ever going to get.

Have a read of the interview and leave your opinon here :)

I really can't see how they'd possibly get it to work properly. It has got good potential, but i'd like to be surprised

Play nuclear war on amiga 500 and you'll see where this "innovative" idea came from :p

Make sure you post on here if you ever fancy a game, would be sweet to have a FH tournament :)

I had it, the thing with this game is no complicated UI, it is all about timing and strategy. Every other game that has tried to make 'Wargames' before has never got it quite right because they made it overly complicated or had a crappy UI. Lets hope this game gets the job done, Introversion have hit the nail on the head with thier first 2 games and I really think they can pull it off again.

Well, nuclear war had a simple UI, simple game, fast and fun with many players.

It was and is the first good wargame around.
