Shack PSA: Men of War Games 66% Off on Steam, BioShock Free with BioShock 2 PC Pre-Order
by Chris Faylor, Jan 19, 2010 2:30pm PSTSticking with the "midweek madness" initiative, digital distributor Steam has revealed that all Men of War (PC) games will be 66% off through Thursday, January 21.
In other words, the first entry in 1C Company, Digitalmindsoft and Best Way's historical strategy series can be had at $5.09, the expansion-turned-sequel Red Tide is $8.49, and Men of War: Gold Edition, which bundles the two, is currently $11.89.
Men of War and BioShock 2
Of course, $11.89 is a fair chunk of change to drop on something you haven't tried--fortunately, we've got demos of both Men of War and Red Tide on FileShack.
In related news, Steam opened pre-orders for 2K Marin's underwater shooter sequel BioShock 2 today, offering 10% off and a free copy of the original BioShock. And should you already own BioShock on Steam, you can gift that extra copy to a friend.
Comments
Men of War is the most detailed and amazing RTS I've played in such a long time, if not my whole life. I hate the developers for picking such a generic name for the title because I kept judging it by it's cover due to that ("Men of War? Haha, it's so generic they may as well have called it - "World War II game") until my friend showed it to me, and I was blown away.
Just to give you an idea about the game:
1.) You can directly control any of your units, like snipers and anti-tank guns if say, they are being annoying or you want them to fire at a specific spot. For example, if you want an Anti-Tank gun to take out a heavy tank's treads because it's front armor is too thick. This is what the direct control in CoH ToV should have been.
2.) Lets say you have men in an area with no cover, but there are lots of trees and bushes. You can conceal short ranged units in the bushes and tell long ranged units to climb into the trees!
3.) One time I fired a high explosive round at a group of enemies all bunched up together. It was my last HE round, and I missed. I screamed FUCK at the top of my lungs, but then a tree fell onto them and they died.
Go play that demo or something!
