Welcome to the new improved AusGamers site! We're running a survey to get some more feedback from our users. We're also giving away an Xbox 360 console as well as two Nintendo DS systems!
If you only read one review this season - make it our GTA4 review. We give it the rubber glove treatment in one of our most in-depth game examinations ever.
Strategic Command 2 Patton Drives East Expansion Demo (v1.0)
This demo includes THREE turn limited (1 game year each) playable campaigns:
• 1939 Storm of Steel turns the clock back to the very beginning of hostilities in Europe as the German army prepares to occupy the Sudetenland and Czechoslovakia.
• 1945 Patton Drives East allows you to change history in the months after the Nazi surrender as Patton is allowed to drive across the Oder River and push forward to the very gates of Moscow.
• 1948 Berlin Crisis unleashes the fury of Stalin's Armies against the Allies in a contest for the total occupation of Europe.
Multiplayer modes are disabled in the demo but the campaigns are playable against the AI as either side.
Patton Drives East allows players to explore the both the historically possible "what ifs" and alternate realities of World War 2 such as:
• What if the Western Allies and the Soviet Union went to war after defeating the Axis?
• Could America liberate a Europe subjugated by the Axis?
• What if the Western Allies had accepted a surrender from Germany and together they would fight against the USSR?
