DEFCON is a stunning online multiplayer simulation of global thermonuclear war. You play the role of a military Commander hidden deep within an Underground bunker. Your mission - to successfully exterminate your enemy's civilian population whilst disabling their ability to attack your own.
Start by launching your battleships, subs and bombers in order to decimate your opponent's defences. Scramble together your alliances but remember only one can stand victorious. Prepare your pre-emptive strike before one of your supposed allies gets the same idea.
Choose the perfect moment for betrayal, obliterating your opponents with an apocalyptic thermonuclear barrage, but get it wrong and their devastating counter attack will bring you to your knees!

Love this game. So easy to learn but so hard to master.
Really addictive especially on-line. A must at fifteen quid. what a bargain.
5 stars definately.................
I'd buy that for a dollar! (or £14.99)

Download the demo (it's only 60mb, as is the game iself) from Introversion - if you like it, buy it, if not, then don't. Basically if you like Civ or any of the slower RTS games then this is for you. Unless you're a freakin' chimp or something....
Shall we play a game?

This game certainly does have a War-games feel about it and that pretty much is the premise for it, fantastically hard to master but ultimately so rewarding when you do, with online multiplayer and such great features as "a work mode" (why don't programmers do that so often any more) I definitely recommend a purchase, it looks beautiful, plays well and at 14.99 and a boss button, take it to work to learn how to nail those pesky Ruskies or Euros or Yanks argh Defcon 1 launch detected!!!
Of note, I don't believe this game will be to everybody's liking, it is rock hard, its not an EA game and might challenge some users gaming expectations, you can download a free demo to experience it first.
