With this test, PCGen will propose a new formula: a test a week on a game or software in connection with our editorial line reserved for PC games and hardware gamer. Through this project, we hope you still agree more, and to impose a complete site, whether for gaming fans, as hardware, and even both! Today we start with a game released on 26 February on our beloved PC.
Developed by Ubisoft Shanghai and published by Ubisoft, EndWar is out with a single ideal: to offer players a whole new gameplay to the RTS, or strategy games in real time, tend to all look alike on the grip. To do this, the developer had an idea of the most original. At a time when everything must be done with the mouse, the developers had the bright idea to propose a game where the player could manage its troops to vote.
On paper, the idea is simply brilliant. What better way to announce to its instantly bidasses where they should be courageous trouer the skin? On paper yes, but in practice the system is rather restrictive. Of course, to differentiate its units, it must first announce their number of units (maximum 12 squads, so 12 possibilities) and pronounce aloud the order to carry out, from a list drawn up in advance. Hey, do not do what you want, the system is somewhat ... limited.
On the ground, this translates into a "Unit 1 Attack Target 1". All this without, of course, the slightest change of intonation, otherwise the order will not be included. You must also articulate well on the edge of you jaw dropping, common sounds, such as 1 and 5, 6 and 8, if poorly made, will result in some errors. Of course, this opinion relates only to our tester. We all have a voice and a different way of talking, and it is therefore not possible to remain completely objective. One thing is certain: in our case, we are quickly pressed with the mouse, which, in addition to high precision to prevent your unit 1 going to make holes in the skin under the artillery, when you asked to helicopters, unit 5, to circumvent the artillery and the turn back.
Following the review is on the site ....

The PlayStation Network is back again for its weekly sale which currently features games from the Tom Clancy franchise like the recently released Rainbow Six Seige and Splinter Cell Blacklist.
The sale has a variety of titles spanning across the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and PlayStation Vita. The sale will be starting today and will run until next Tuesday 11:00 am. This is the time for gamers to give the tactical Rainbox Six Siege shooter a chance as you can save up to 45%.
Forget discounts,If they want to compete with EA Access, they need to bump up the AAA Games that are on the PS Store and on PS Now. There weren't a lot of games on PS Now that interested me, especially for that price point.
Let's take a moment and think about this..
Sony, I love you, but take notes! EA Access has a lot of extras that sound great if you’re looking for a new loyalty program, that blanket 10% off digital video games will definitely save subscribers some money if they’re big fans of Electronic Arts’ video games. Users who purchase a brand new Electronic Arts Xbox One title a month will break even on that first game, saving $6 off a $60 purchase.
PSN store trying to compete with EA Access? What nonsense!
Total different things!
And they need to bump up the AAA games on the PSN store? What? All the AAA games can be bought on the PSN store.
And no, PS Now is also not trying to compete with EA Access, again something else entirely...
And no, EA Access is not good value at all if you do not live in the US! They give 10% off on digital game purchases, MSRP of games is €70, 10% off means they are €63 but I can buy physical copies during initial release for between €50-55. Then there are a gazillion sports titles for free that I have no interest in. The games I'm interested in I already buy so don't need free copies a year after their release. The only nice thing about it is the 10 hours early access, that's it!
Ubisoft have today announced that Tom Clancy’s EndWar Online has completed its Alpha and is kicking off the Beta Test phase. The Closed Beta will start on September 1 and will run until the beginning of November and will come with two brand new commanders on each side, a brand new PvE mode called Special Operations, support for multiple characters on an account, a new VIP system and tons of additional improvements.
Ubisoft Shanghai have announced that after some great feedback from Part #1 of their On the Front Lines: A Fresh Start Developer Blog for Endwar: Online, they have begun to include some suggestions into Alpha Update v0.5.0, and have now released Part #1.5, in which the development team says that one of the biggest advantages of being involved in the Alpha Test is the flexibility.
