Did you see the games that Take Two and 2K Games unveiled today? Wow. A Civ IV expansion, a Civ spin off, and a new version of Railroad! Assuming their financial problems don't get any worse, Take Two is looking good as a publisher.

Here's a quick update for you. The game formerly known as Ghost Wars is now Field Ops. It seems Freeze Interactive is picking up the pieces from Hip Games death. I'm glad to hear the game survived.

This week's game is a near future RTS. It's Alliance - Future Combat (official site) from Gameyus Interactive. Yes, the makers of Will of Steel are back with a new RTS set in the Middle East. It seems that a friendly democratic government has allow the United States to build a secret base in their territory. Once the terrorist learn of its existence, they gather forces and launch a surprise attack. The overwhelmed base needs help so the US Government sends in the AEGIS rapid response team. One interesting feature is near complete voice control as an option for the player. Regardless how you choose to control your troops, your high tech troops will be in for non stop action. There's no resource gathering; it's all down to technology and tactics. Gameyus is promising around 20 missions with some of the most detailed vehicles ever seen in a strategy game. Look for Alliance soon.
