Many years ago, a dimensional portal to the Outer Worlds was suddenly opened, and an enemy from the darkness encroached upon our world. Led by Pompolic, these armies of demonic hordes quickly overran most (but not all) of the planet. The origin of Pompolic is not known, but it is sure that this malevolent spiritual being possesses supernatural power, and his desire is obvious, possess the people and turn them into fellows of his dark army. The evil is spreading its power via his servants; the Dark Souls. These Dark Souls - protected by a horde of monsters - are poisoning the minds of his victims and making them slaves of evil. The denizens of this world are on the edge of total annihilation. However, a little hope still exists in the heart of the remaining citizens. They believe that there are brave hearts who can save the world from the source of the evil power. If the Dark Souls were to be captured, the onslaught would stop, and Pompolic would be defeated; the call for heroes is made... Features

As their galley disks descend to harvest slaves from neighboring races, all other empires may be forced to put aside their grudges – if they do not unite against the Zuul, each race will be systematically exterminated.

MEDICAL DRAMA OR HOSPITAL IN CRISIS? TUNE IN AND FIND OUT IN “HOSPITAL TYCOON”, COMING THIS SUMMER EXCLUSIVELY ON PC.
Will Dr Dave ever fall in love with Nurse Susie? Will her hopes of injecting some passion in the hospital end up in vain? Is Sally the receptionist’s technique for warming thermometers hygienic (or, indeed, legal)? Tune into the first Hospital Tycoon™ video, now available from www.codemasters.co.uk/hospitaltycoon (in Downloads) or www.youtube.com/codiesgames, and come away none the wiser.
At the Sapphire Beach Medical Institute, the lives and loves of the hospital’s doctors and nurses, as well as the sneezes and diseases of its patients, will come alive this June when Hospital Tycoon™ launches, exclusively for PC.
Fusing ‘tycoon’ style gameplay with character simulation and a light-hearted narrative, the game’s Story mode adds a soap-opera feel as players progress through episodes of hospital drama.
Each episode explores a storyline involving a hospital’s staff and patients, whilst challenging the player to find cures for bizarre new diseases. From the everyday Explosive Sneezing, where a simple ‘atishoo’ can launch the unfortunate patient several feet into the air, to the rarer Monkey Nuts, where patients sprout fur, climb furniture and favour bananas, there’s always something funny to see and cure.
Staff in Hospital Tycoon™ have rich behaviours that players can nurture and influence as the game progresses. Players may choose to encourage a fall-out or a friendship and can train staff to improve their skill levels. There’s also the upkeep of each hospital to control and develop; dedicated areas can be built to support additional medical needs - surgery, diagnosis, physiotherapy and more.
As more patients are cured, the more players can expand their medical empire and attract even more patients. However, as the hospital becomes busier, watch out for the spread of infectious conditions or you’ll soon have an epidemic running riot through the facility.
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 builds off of the events in the first game and places gamers in control of the U.S. military's elite fighting unit, the Ghosts. In the year 2014, the rising conflict between Mexican loyalists and insurgent rebel forces has thrown Mexico into full-scale civil war. Under the command of Captain Scott Mitchell, the Ghosts are called upon to face an imminent threat to the United States. The fate of two countries now lies in the hands of the Ghosts as they fend off an attack on U.S. soil. Equipped with the most cutting-edge weaponry and technology, the Ghosts must battle on both sides of the border to neutralize the escalating rebel threat.

The Ghosts will battle enemies in mountain terrains, barren deserts and even on their home turf in El Paso, Texas. Each environment presents its own benefits and challenges and will call for fresh tactical approaches. * Vastly Improved Artificial Intelligence (AI): Watch your back as rebels send their own team members to flank your position or gain vantage points by utilizing vertical gameplay to pick you off from the rooftops above. Improved squad-mate AI will now feed you more of the information you need with descriptive commands like “enemy spotted behind red truck ahead.” * Improved Cross-Com: The revolutionary new Cross-Com 2.0 will give the player more information than ever before. You will be able to see what your friendly forces see in the top left display and the click of a button will expand that to full-screen view for a clearer and more precise picture. This will give you a more comprehensive view of the entire battlefield. The new Full Command View will allow unprecedented precision in developing and issuing tactical plans on the battlefield. * Expanded Support: Command lethal air strikes with jet fighters, gain mobile cover for otherwise impassable situations and replenish armaments on the battlefield using an unmanned artillery MULE.

Episode 6: The Bright Side of the Moon brings the first season of Sam & Max to a satisfying close. The most disappointing thing about it is that the season has ended just as the series was really hitting its stride. Alas, there’s always hope that we won’t have to wait fifteen years between Sam & Max games this time around…
Episode 6 is available for purchase on its own, but this episode more than any other makes heavy reference to the episodes that preceded it. If you’re a newcomer to the series at this point it will definitely leave you scratching your head. Why is that rabbity thing the president of the US and just what is a giant robotic head of Lincoln doing on the moon? The answers, my friend, are in Episodes 1 through 5, and if you have even a passing interest in Sam and Max, satirical humor, sly cultural humor, oddball characters or adventure games, then you may as well buy the entire season at once. Like I mentioned above, it ends quite well and we all know what they say about things that end well.
I can’t imagine that anyone who’s enjoyed the first five episodes would dislike the sixth, but if you’re mind is not made up here’s what you can expect our heroes to find this time out. The rampant hypnotism that ran through the previous episodes has been found to be the work of one Roy G. Biv who has set up shop on the moon of all places. Luckily Sam’s and Max’s trusty DeSoto has no more trouble reaching the moon than any of the other locations the duo visited in Season One. The lunar Blister of Tranquility is now home to a gaggle of characters from previous episodes, all of whom have fallen under the spell of Prismatology. Sam and Max must stop Biv before he realizes his plan to make all of humanity deliriously happy.
This time around the game’s puzzles seemed a bit simpler, but I’m not entirely sure if that’s because they are indeed simpler or if it’s because I’ve become used to the series’ particular puzzle style. I always enjoy making a beeline for Sybil’s and Bosco’s when starting a new episode to see what they’re up to this time. In Brightside of the Moon Sybil’s new job and her role in the adventure are pretty clever, but Bosco’s latest disguise and paranoid delusion de jour are on the disappointing and lackluster side of things this time out. All in all, though, The Brightside of the Moon delivers plenty of the Sam & Max trademark humor we’ve grown to know and love and is plenty enjoyable. However, I can’t help but feel that the past couple of episodes could have used just a little more of that certain something to reach the next level. There’s plenty of momentum here though to leave me eagerly anticipating Season Two.

Ankh: Heart of Osiris transports the player back into Ancient Egypt to explore the sensual bazaars, subterranean temple and dark alleys of Cairo as the young adventurer and reluctant daredevil Assil.
Having rid himself of the death curse and saved the Ankh from the hands of Osiris, the wicked God of the Underworld, Assil has now woken up in the dingy back streets of Cairo with a blinding hangover only to discover the Ankh is missing! With no time to lose, Assil must recover the Ankh and ensure that it doesn’t fall into the hands of Osiris; to do so would be a catastrophe enabling him to launch his own fiendish plan.
Ankh: Heart of Osiris takes the game play, characters and locations to new levels. The environments are richer and more detailed, allowing for more in-depth exploration and a vivid in-game experience. Superior voice acting, cinematic full motion sequences plus sophisticated graphics with dynamic light, shadow and glow effects provide additional dimensions to the game.
Fans of the original game will be delighted by the return of the main character Assil, in an exciting new and zany story that will amuse and engage at every turn. Like its predecessor, Heart of Osiris is very easy to play with only a mouse. Now players are able to play as Assil, Thara and the Pharoah and each of these three characters has a more defined personality with cool, character-specific tasks.
XIDER has responded to the feedback of loyal players and ensured that many of the favourite features have been included and developed further to enhance the experience. The game enables players to get more involved with the main characters and immerse themselves into the mysterious Egyptian world. The Ankh trademark sense of black humour also continues to shine at every click of the mouse.
