[...] explodeathon World in Conflict was one of our favourite RTSes of last year. Perhaps even our favourite, most especially in multiplayer. What’s that? It wasn’t yours? Heretic. Purge yourself [...]

Does anyone know if there are plans to make an add-on/mod for this game so you can SP as the Russians?

I originally thought I’d get to drive a T-72 down American streets. It saddens me that I can’t :(

They’re not forgotten. They just kind of fell off the list as we decided we didn’t love them as much as the stuff towards the end of the year.

Every new game-o-calendar I read caused me to think “gah, that’s only been out a few months!” — but I just went and checked and not only am I being a massive twat but it appears I was wrong, there HAVE been games in your list that were released before RPS sprung up. Still, like any awards ceremony (eg the oscars), by and large the things released right at the start of the year/after the last awards tend to be forgotten.

I suspect what’s more interesting is what we DIDN’T include.

Bugger- we forgot to put Zoo Tycoon 2: Extinct Animals in the list.

Why would we not have blogged about one of our favourite games of the year?

Every game featured on RPS this year appears to be in these Game-o-calendar things. When’s an out-of-left-field, dark-horse shocker of a game going to appear?

(By that I mean a game you never blogged about, like)

I never really planned on getting this game. But then I saw the SE at my retailer and noticed, that it included a piece of the Berlin Wall. Since I actually live a few hundred meters from the remnants of the Wall and pass it every day on my way to work I though the idea of buying a game to get an “original” piece of the Wall, when I could pick on up for free every day hilarious, so I bought the game. (Look, I don’t judge your sense of humor, so give me a break, ok?)

Never really regretted it, even if I never played it online. The single player campaign was really entertaining in a pop corn hollywood cinema kind of way.

I wish this worked on my PC, ever since Beta it’s caused this weird graphical glitch which has caused my PC to lock up. I think it might be heat related, but much as I’ve tried to watch that, no joy :(

When you say the multiplayer is good, do you mean that it works well with RANDOM other people, or with friends?

Because I remember the multiplayer on the demo being.. meh.

It’s odd, I was so excited about this game prior to release, and so were many of my friends. When it came out only two of us bought it and since then we’ve played a combined 9 hours of the game between us.

I know it’s great but I just don’t play it. Is there something wrong with me?
