Defcon review - PC

Straight from the movie Wargames, Defcon is simple yet deadly – you have limited time to save the world from total annihilation. Don’t let the simplicity of the premise and the look of the Defcon graphics deceive you: it’s much harder and more involving than it looks and sounds. You can play alone as a single player, but as our Defcon review suggests, there’s a wealth of extra gameplay and depth if you go online and get involved in the Defcon community.

Defcon review for PC
This little homage to the famous 80s movie Wargames, was released last year on Valve’s Steam download service. Thanks to its success there, though, it’s been picked up by Pinnacle for a retail release and is about to hit store shelves in an attractive box. If you haven’t had the pleasure of playing it yet, now’s as good a time as any to get involved. The premise is deceptively simple – as is the look of the game. A vector graphic world is illuminated only by the outlines of a map, with cities across the five continents picked out as square blobs. As the game begins, so does a countdown timer – which ticks away the seconds until the next level of global alert is reached. This is a strictly prescribed limit – you can’t slow it down or stop the inevitable approach of all out nuclear war.
