Advantages: Nice and easy to master Disadvantages: Dated compared to the latest releases and no Internet play
The game is based on fighting the computer run machines trying to outwit them as they do to you/or you can take on the role of the computer and trash the humans.
It is very easy to master and play and suitable for the beginner in strategy game playing(but don't expect an easy fight all the time)
The graphics are good and the sound reasonable
It is worth playing both roles as the scenes are the same but different tactics required. more

Advantages: LIKE C AND C Disadvantages: ANNOYING AT TIMES
So, after much fan anticipation (and much secrecy from developers), Hidden & Dangerous arrives and sets a new standard in ultra-realistic military action. Developer Illusion Softworks gets high points for style with this tense multi-perspective, tactical adventure game that takes you back to the end of WWII. Your men belong to an elite force of British soldiers called the Special Air Service, which executes covert operations deep in enemy territory. ... ...and sniper your way through 23 missions spread across six locales in Europe. Though this game has all the smoothness and sharp 3D graphics of a shooter, rushing in with guns blazing will get you obliterated. As in Commandos and Rainbow Six, stealth and patience are the keys to success. Hidden & Dangerous is heavy on realism, with all the weapons, characters, music and environments tailored to create a distinctive historical atmosphere that draws ...

Advantages: 3D action Disadvantages: needs a 3D card
Wargames is set in the future where robots are battling against humans. The play is like C&C but in 3D. This makes it a very interesting game. I found the playability suffered and if you are running a slow machine with an up-to-date graphics card you may fins that your screen is corrupt. This happened to me and I was told upgrade my computer or you cannot play the game. Remember to check first if your PC will take the game. Overall, a good game but ...

Advantages: good paramilitay game Disadvantages: poor graphics
...to be inflicted in the war game's closing hours.
The national security simulation was significant because its premise -- a devastating cyber-attack that affects government and parts of the economy with the same magnitude as the September 11, 2001, suicide hijackings -- contravenes assurances by U.S. counterterrorism experts that such far-reaching effects from a cyber-attack are highly unlikely. Previous government simulations have modeled damage ...

Advantages: The hole game is a FREE download! Disadvantages: When there are tomany people plying this game the lag gets a bit bad!
This game i am talking about is called Chain of Command. Its a free game which you can download on the internet! Its a strategy game with ranks and regiments. A regiment is a "clan" of people with one leader who can fight against other clans. So now and then you have to click a banner to get more free time. but that only takes like 10 secs with a good connection. If your interested go to www.2am.com. Then you have to dload a dload from like 15 mins with a regular connection. After that there is a pretty big dload. But in my opinion thats definetly worth it! YOu can also play other games at 2am like poker, chess, Total War, Aliance and Defiance. ...
Advantages: wireless control pads, out of this world graphics, uses windows media centre Disadvantages: lack of games when launched, games are expensive, fan is nosiy

Advantages: Playability Disadvantages: Graphics are a little weak
All Star Warsgames on the PC have been amazing, its a fact. Dark Forces, Xwing VS Tie Fighter nd the simply amazing Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight, simply the best Star Wars game ever. Unfortunately, consoles have not had as much luck with Episode 1 and Jedi Power Battles on the playstation. Actually, its only Playstation Star Warsgames that have been a mager flop as the two N64 games, Rogue Squadron and the mighty Racer were 2 of the best games ever created. This is probably why Lucasarts cose to move Racer over to the Dreamcast platform, because it is their only decent game based on Episode 1.
There are so many options to chose from such as ur vehicle and driver, the upgrades and over 20 tracks. The graphics have been improved over the N64 and PC versions slightly but as they were stunning in the first place, they arent that ...
