DEFCON

Hey, if anyone is loking for an awesome game, they should check out DEFCON. It's put out by Introversion Software (based out of England). I've been playing it for a few days now and I'm hooked. Basically, you get to play a game of global thermonuclear war (ala Wargames). The demo is basically the full game, just minus a some bells and wistles.

I picked it up last Friday.  AI sucks, but playing multiplayer is a blast.

DEFCON = fun. Though I agree, the AI does suck. Who tries to defend South America against Europe by putting two thirds of their navy in the Pacific Ocean?

Something I've noticed about the AI.  Regardless of how the map is laid out with opponents, every AI devotes 90% of their arsenal to hitting N. America.  I played as Europe and was able to wipe out an undefended Russia and finish the game relatively unharmed because Russia ignored me and just went for the US.

hmmmm... I'll have to look for that next time I play a comp. Th eonly gripe I have is that it bugs the heck out of me when the server host starts to lose, so they get mad and disconnect, ruining the match for the others involved (this isn't specific to this game, but it still bugs me). It's the electronic version of kicking over the board game in a hissy fit.
