Videogamer writes: "We gave the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of Ubisoft Shanghai's EndWar a respectable 7/10 when it was released late last year, its voice command mechanic proving a satisfying, if unspectacular solution to that perennial console RTS control conundrum. Now, in early 2009, EndWar has finally arrived on the PC, the home of the RTS. Unfortunately this time around the rules of engagement are different and a much more unforgiving battlefield awaits.
PC gamers will compare EndWar to other PC RTSs and ask themselves: why should I play this instead? This is an inevitable, unavoidable question the game ultimately fails to answer convincingly. EndWar's up against the likes of Relic's excellent Dawn of War II and Company of Heroes, Creative Assembly's superb Empire: Total War, or Ubisoft's own World in Conflict: Soviet Assault - games built from the ground up as PC experiences. Where EndWar shone as a clever and accessible RTS on console, on PC it's comprehensively put into the shade by its big-boy PC RTS competition."
The PlayStation Network is back again for its weekly sale which currently features games from the Tom Clancy franchise like the recently released Rainbow Six Seige and Splinter Cell Blacklist.
The sale has a variety of titles spanning across the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and PlayStation Vita. The sale will be starting today and will run until next Tuesday 11:00 am. This is the time for gamers to give the tactical Rainbox Six Siege shooter a chance as you can save up to 45%.
Forget discounts,If they want to compete with EA Access, they need to bump up the AAA Games that are on the PS Store and on PS Now. There weren't a lot of games on PS Now that interested me, especially for that price point.
Let's take a moment and think about this..
Sony, I love you, but take notes! EA Access has a lot of extras that sound great if you’re looking for a new loyalty program, that blanket 10% off digital video games will definitely save subscribers some money if they’re big fans of Electronic Arts’ video games. Users who purchase a brand new Electronic Arts Xbox One title a month will break even on that first game, saving $6 off a $60 purchase.
Ubisoft have today announced that Tom Clancy’s EndWar Online has completed its Alpha and is kicking off the Beta Test phase. The Closed Beta will start on September 1 and will run until the beginning of November and will come with two brand new commanders on each side, a brand new PvE mode called Special Operations, support for multiple characters on an account, a new VIP system and tons of additional improvements.
Ubisoft Shanghai have announced that after some great feedback from Part #1 of their On the Front Lines: A Fresh Start Developer Blog for Endwar: Online, they have begun to include some suggestions into Alpha Update v0.5.0, and have now released Part #1.5, in which the development team says that one of the biggest advantages of being involved in the Alpha Test is the flexibility.
