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 you need a fast computer to play it.
