The latest EA Studio – Phenomic, which is based in Germany, has recently announced an open beta test for its new game Battleforge. The studio Phenomic, which was taken over in 2006 by Electronic Arts, is not unknown. Phenomic worked on the successful series of the game “settlers”. At least at first and third part.
Phenomic is a company that brings innovation, so if you waiting for a game by Phenomic, you could be sure, it will not be a Warcraft or Starcraft clone.

To join the beta test, you need to download approximately 80 megabytes large client. After the successful installation, the player starts with the creation of its own army, obtained from approximately 200 cards, which could be combined. Incidentally, all participants of the beta test will get a card “fire dancers” which is otherwise rarely available.
The final version of the game should appear on March 26, at least for Windows PCs.

No question, the game Earth 2160 is quite old. I would like to tell a few words about it. Although Earth 2160 is pretty old game, it has a really good gameplay and cheap price and that’s why I would recommend to try out this game. The game costs currently only 5 €, what I find very cheap.
The most of the ideas of this game were “borrowed” by the developers from StarCraft, but because Blizzard does not make any RTS aside from WarCraft since 1998 (10 years!) I’m glad that some other developers were able to realise the idea and spirit of StarCraft in their own games, which are using a modern technology.

Scenario:
During the last war (Earth 2150 and Earth 2140) our planet, Earth was destroyed. Most people found a new home on Mars. After the destruction of the earth, there is no peaceful coexistence life. The moon corporation, which consists mainly of women, fighting against the Eurasian dynasty (ED). Third Group – the United States (The United Civilized States) occur only in the course of the game. However, there will an event which will contribute to several representatives of different factions are fighting side by side, for a very important objective, that will change the lives of all people. What an event I think I will not describe exactly so you could have more fun from the game.

Graphics:
The graphics in the game is very nice and also for the present time quite topical. I particularly like the possibility of the turning of the map to 360 °. You can also zoom in pretty far and so see the faces of the soldiers.

Sound:
The music is very impressive. The songs, sung by a woman make the atmosphere very unique.

Special features:
An interesting feature of the game is the possibility of building of vehicles by the player himself. The player assumes the decision was for armor, weapons and what for a motor the vehicle will have. For example, a vehicle with chemical armor is good for operations against aliens. The composite armor is a good protection against laser guns.

Game:
It’s quite fun to play this game. Although of all criticism, I found Earth 2160 a very successful game with interesting ideas, I am glad that I bought this game.

Command and Conquier: Tiberium Wars is a new real-time strategy game. The story of the game is the same as in older C&C games. The struggle between Brotherhood of NOD and GDI (Global Defence Initiative) forces escalates, after Nod attack on space satellite Philadelphia.

The game has many video sequences where you will be informed about the occurrence of the story.

As for me, these sequences are boring, but it is better than to play without them.

I don’t saw any RTS better than StarCraft, but C&C 3 Tiberium Wars is one of such RTS that are really interesting to play.

In addition, the game has very nice graphic and you don’t need to have the latest hardware to play it.
