Back To Page 1 Civilization IV Most gamers know of Sid Meier. He is considered by many as one of the greatest game makers in computer game history. He’s most famous for the Civilization series, which now bears his name (along with every other game he now makes). In Civilization IV you still rule your empire […]
by Chuck “Magnum” Ankenbauer VS Introduction A couple of weeks ago, two similar but very different games were released on the same day. They’re considered a dying breed in the PC gaming world, except to the hard-core military types. But can these two new releases change that opinion for the general gamer? Sid Meier’s Civilization IV is […]
Back To Page 3 Well, let’s not live in the past. Red Storm has stated that they are making Ghost Recon 3. Well really. it’s Ghost Recon: Advance Warfighter, and the PC version will get a few little extras like the ability to have the tactical map again. But don’t be too happy quite yet. […]
Back To Page 2 One of the best and longest lasting Ghost Recon fan sites is Ghost Recon.net. They still keep the public informed on the latest happenings of the Ghost Recon world, and even today as I type this, have just uploaded a new mission pack collection. I will download and check it out as […]
Back To Page 1 In Ghost Recon, you had a single player campaign with 15 missions in it. You could be assigned to take out an enemy force, or blow up a bridge, or take out some armor. Some missions required you to rescue hostages and fellow soldiers/airmen. After completing a mission, whether in single […]
by Chuck “Magnum” Ankenbauer Introduction I remember back when I first played a Red Storm Entertainment computer game, it was the original Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six.

Back To Page 2 Even if you have played all three original campaigns and the entire single player missions hundreds of times, you can replay them with the ECP mod and it will be a whole new experience. Now if you want a total new online game mod, then there’s only one I recommend, […]
Back To Page 1 The Enhanced Configuration Project The best part of the Operation Flashpoint series is the many, many add-ons, missions, and maps that the great gaming community have made and released. The first modification I want to talk about is called The Enhanced Configuration Project. This modification doesn’t seem to really add […]
Back To Page 3 Graphics and Sounds Just a quick note on these, although you’ve already seen the graphics. Graphics are purely functional, although adequate. But with the typical wargame interface, you can bet this won’t take your graphics card even if it’s not one of the newer ones. Sounds? Again, functional — some […]
Back To Page 2 Gameplay Let’s start with the scenarios. You can play either as NATO or the Warsaw Pact, and the scenarios focus on four main NATO formations: the British Army of the Rhine, the US V Corps, and the West German I and III Corps. There are five scenarios for the British, […]
Back To Page 1 Setup Set up is fairly straight forward. You’ll be issued one serial number to use for both the installation and patching. Other than that, it’s a standard install (i.e., no issues or hidden idiosyncrasies) which shouldn’t take more than a few minutes. Documentation The documentation is digital only, even with […]
