Alright, I picked up this game at my local store for about $20 a while back. Its absolutely addicting, and I love the concept of it. However, for some reason, my computer graphics cannot handle it, so rather than upgrade, Im just getting rid of it. The game is called Pacific Storm: Allies. Here are some online screenshots:
Now in all fairness, I have 320 gigs of RAM, and a NVIDIA GeForce 6150LE graphics card, and I wasn't able to handle the graphics at this level.
The premise of the game is, you can pick from one of three countries to play as, Japan, the U.S., or the U.K. Each country has unique equipment and technology to develope and research, including the B-29, F8F, F-100, Vampire, and the Atomic Bomb. In the strategic phase you research technology, build infrastructures on bases, and order developement of new ships and aircraft. You can also initiate combat or the invasion of an island/base. You then enter the tactical phase, where you can command your entire fleet/air force, or take command of an individual ship, or even fly one of the planes. The flight controls in my experience is rather lousy, VERY arcadish, but still fun.
In adition to this, there are 3 NPC countries: Germany, Russia, and Finland. Each of these three countries don't start with bases, but earn money and develope their own ships and aircraft. You can negotiate, get them to be your allies, and trade bases, resources, and equipment, (I have had a fleet of Iowa Battleships with the Bismarck as my flagship, and both the Scharnhorst and Gneisenau as members of my fleet, with Bf-109s and Fw-190s for land based air-cover).
I'm looking for a trade, (Trying to get my hands on a game called Stronghold), but I would be perfectly happy just giving this game away. PM me if you are interested.
