Field Ops is a first-person shooter and real-time strategy. The story goes like this. A failed coup d’etat on the island has split the country in two and Santiago de Cuba has become the new base for the rebels. Your task in one mission is to head over to a checkpoint outside a ruined church and sit tight while reinforcements made their way to you. Once you accomplish that you are required to make your way over to the building that the rebel leader was holed up in and capture him by eliminating his troops. Simple objectives but hard accomplishments.

Command & Conquer 3: Kane’s Wrath campaign will mainly focus on the brotherhood of Nod and it will come in three steps. The first will cover the aftermath of the Second Tiberium War. The second will cover a parallel story of events in Command & Conquer 3. The final step will extend to the future and involve in Kane’s “ascension”. Perhaps the biggest new feature is the global conquest mode. Which will mean that the linear mission-to-mission campaign is dead. Instead you will be able to conquer the world your way. And you choose which territories to attack. Armies will be in persistent min this mode. So if you enter a battle with certain units they will appear in battle.

Alan Wake was named after the main character. In Alan Wake you play as Alan Wake. Alan Wake is a writer who’s life takes a weird turn after he meets the women of his dreams and writes a best selling novel. He starts dating the woman (whose name I do not know) and she mysteriously vanishes. Just like in his novel. And he’s wracked up by insomnia. And it seems like his novel pretty much wrote itself by the voices in his head. After his girlfriend’s disappearance it seems like Alan Wake is hit hard after he starts having visions about his girlfriend and finding that someone is writing in his journal. Creepy right?

In SimCity Societies you’re the mayor of your city built the infrastructure and the public services for a city. Like police stations and schools, not to mention land for different use like commercial, residential or industrial. Your virtual citizens do all the rest. Like deciding on what types of buildings and businesses to do build in the space you designated. It’s very urban simulation. SimCity Societies offers up a different gameplay, but it is more of a city-building game since you are immediately involved.

If before SimCities let you play as a “hands off” mayor you’ll have a lot of work in SimCity Societies.

During single player in Timeshift, you’ll play through a brief training segment. In which you have to tackle a number of small objects. You don’t just grad guns and shoot, you have to go to the past then come back to the future. Timeshift’s mission structure is kinda basic. You travel from point A to point B. You’re fighting and resisting Krone the whole time you play. The time powers usually come in handy when you get thrown up against enemies . . . lots of enemies. . . which happens a lot in Timeshift. Sometimes in
Timeshift you’ll run into obstacles on foot when you have to use your power (controlling time) such as walk right into enemy tanks. You shouldn’t just use your time powers to have a lazy battle. And you will have to do puzzles using your powers. The puzzles are fairly obvious though.

You should now know that Timeshift is a mind and time bending first-person shooter set in an alternate reality ruled by a madman named Krone.

In Tabula Rasa you can switch between third-person and first-person perspectives. And though Tabula Rasa is a blend of shooter action, you don’t need lightning fast reflexes. This game was designed to be semi easy and to appeal those who don’t really like twitch gameplay. Which means auto-aiming and locking on to targets will be easier. But meanwhile Tabula Rasa will include role-playing calculations in combat. Character creation will unfold as you play Tabula Rasa.

The reason why you don’t choose at the beginning is because you usually make decisions that you don’t understand.
