Supreme Commander - 04.08.08
RTS - Rated E10+
Features (from IGN.com) :
For a millennium war has raged between the United Earth Federation, the Cybran Nation and the Aeon Illuminate. Unwavering, dramatically opposing systems of belief have locked the three forces of humanity into a bitter, merciless conflict that has come to be known as the Infinite War. Now, after centuries of struggle, a war that has torn the galaxy asunder has finally reached a turning point. A leader has risen above all others, and only this Supreme Commander holds the key to ending the Infinite War once and for all.
The groundbreaking game puts players in command of one of three factions — the United Earth Federation, the Cybran Nation or the Aeon Illuminate – that they must lead to victory and end the thousand-year Infinite War. Featuring a newly designed, intuitive console control scheme, Supreme Commander offers gameplay on an unprecedented scale. A revolutionary Strategic Zoom control allows for immediate viewing and command of entire armies as gamers battle through one of the three vast campaigns or against online enemies. Xbox 360-exclusive units, new online game modes and updated maps will bolster Xbox Live play as gamers wage war against opponents around the globe.
Deadliest Catch: Alaskan Storm : 04.15.08
Simulation - Rating Pending
Features (from IGN.com) :
Battle 40-foot waves, storms, ice and a nearly 100-percent crew member injury rate in the dangerous hunt for undersea riches on the Bering Sea with the videogame based on the hit Discovery Channel series. The game lets gamers captain their own boat in the frenzied search for an undersea jackpot. Players select one of five real crab boats, including the Northwestern, Cornelia Marie and Sea Star — all featured on the series, or create and customize their own boat. Gamers then recruit and lead their own crew from a roster of twenty real crab fishermen. Selecting the wrong boat or recruiting the wrong crew member can mean the difference between landing a Bering Sea jackpot or disaster. Lead your fatigued, hungry and hardworking crew in the strategic search for King Crab and Opilio Crab, while battling to secure your catch and livelihood before other captains and crews get to the crab first.
