Progress is slow, but it's there if you look for it.

And time flies by again. I don't really count that time that I wasted when I incorrectly set up the website under new version of Dreamweaver. After all, it's not like I set up new websites every day. Hopefully now that I have it working again, I'll have more frequent updates. I do have a lot I'd like to discuss. I will do some of it, but I'd really like to get this overhaul finished. Then I can have a big relaunch and associated contest.

Anyway, I'm now basically caught up on news releases. If I missed anything big, drop me an email. I've put some new screenshots up in the image gallery and added some World in Conflict movies to the download section. Strangely, I had a bunch of them sitting around, and you know I've been a big fan of the Ground Control series. In fact, let's just go ahead.

The game of the week (month, random time period, etc.) this week comes from the makers of Ground Control and Ground Control 2. It's World in Conflict (official site) from Massive Entertainment. WiC is set in an alternate history where an all out Soviet assault takes place instead of the collapse of communism. In short it's Ground Control meets Red Dawn. As you might expect from Massive, the focus is on the tactical action instead of base building. You lead a modern force into battles ranging from defending the United States from invasion to the plains of Western Europe. The arsenal will include everything from grunts with assault rifles up to and including tactical nuclear weapons. It will support multiplayer up to 16 combatants and let you focus on disciplines including Infantry, Armor, Support (artillery), and Air Power. Effective combined arms will carry the day. Look for World in Conflict later this year.
