Red Orchestra 2 GOTY Edition Update Released
Posted on May 25, 2012 by Daniel Shannon
The Game of the Year Edition of Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad has just been released on Steam. As we reported previously, this free update includes numerous tweaks, in addition to a new map and two new gameplay modes. The new “Action” and “Classic” modes sound promising, because Red Orchestra 2’s vanilla gameplay falls somewhere in between fast paced shooters like the Call of Duty series and slower, more tactical shooters like the Arma series or the original Red Orchestra.
To commemorate this update, Red Orchestra 2 is free to play this weekend. Additionally, it is 75% off on Steam until Monday, which means that, if you fall in love with the game over the weekend, you can pick it up for $10. You can read its ginormous Change Log here. Read on for trailer.Read More

New Panzer Corps DLC Released
Posted on May 23, 2012 by Daniel Shannon
Slitherine and Matrix Games have just announced the release of the Panzer Corps Grand Campaign ’45 East DLC. This is the seventh DLC for Panzer Corps, the turn based strategy game by The Lordz Games Studio.
As the name suggests, this DLC campaign focuses on the final months of the war from the German perspective. Things aren’t looking too good for the Wehrmacht as most of the maps take place in (then) German territories like Königsberg, Breslau, and Berlin.
If you are unfamiliar with Panzer Corps, it is an excellent Panzer General clone. The vanilla campaign is fairly epic, but the DLC campaigns upped the ante with gigantic maps and more varied objectives than “kill everybody and take their hexes.” If this sounds interesting to you, then try out the demo here. Read on for more information about the DLC and an unrelated music video featuring scenes from a Stalin era Soviet film about the battle for Berlin.
