Hired Guns: The Jagged Edge, game overview - News
By Paguba Florin
Published: May 8, 2009
Print As a player you plan
your strategy on a Global Map that allows you to manage your captured
map sectors, mercenaries & finances. The Global Map allows you an
overview of the complete battlefield, clearly showing which military
factions control each sector. As the mercenaries' commanding officer
you can buy the services of additional mercenaries, weapons and
ammunition via the internet on your own personal on screen laptop.
Select your carefully matched team of mercenaries from sites such as
IMA, an online provider of mercenary services. Examine the biographies
and experiences of each mercenary you may wish to employ to ensure you
form a well rounded & balanced team that will fight well together.
Not all the mercenaries you may wish to employ will be willing to work
in the same team, as many will have fought on opposing forces in
previous conflicts. Mercenaries may also not be so keen to work for you
if your previous military strategies have resulted in high mortality
rates! During a mission, individual mercenaries can be allocated
specialisations such as Doctor, Trainer or Repair. The correct balance
of skills is essential to ensure your units can operate efficiently.
Weapons and ammunition can be purchased online at Dickie Jay's armoury via your on screen laptop. Initially, the range of weaponry available to you is fairly small but as you gain your suppliers' trust by paying them once, they will offer you a larger range of weapons. Running a private war is a complex business and making sure you stay in contact with your suppliers and client is vital. So make sure you keep an eye on your laptop email to make sure you don't miss any important news. Fighting a private war in a chaotic and brutal third world country is a tactical challenge; have you got what it takes to engineer a regime change?

Command and Conquer 3: Kane's Wrath
Welcome back, LEGION. Indeed, Joe Kucan is back, portraying the legendary self-proclaimed prophet Kane, through 20 years of Command and Conquer history: past, present and future.

Sins of a Solar Empire
The stellar "Sins of a Solar Empire" hits our PCs with a unique interesting new combination of game genres and a few cool ideas that should draw the attention of quite a few strategy fans. The newcomer Ironclad Games managed the impossible and created a competitive title indeed. But aside from all the prays and high marks this game received overall, its approach on RTS and the mix of elements it brings, one can find some things that will bother a few players and that will eventually influence the grades of this review. Ok, let's take it from the top.

Sherlock Holmes versus Arsene Lupin
Sherlock Holmes, the worlds` greatest detective, created by Arthur Conan Doyle is about to face his biggest challenge so far: Arsene Lupin, the worlds` greatest thief, created by Maurice Leblanc. Who is going to win this battle of wits? Who is going to be victorious, and, most importantly, who would you like to see as the winner?

Silent Hunter 4: Pacific U-Boat Missions
I thought a bit about how to start this. While saying that Silent Hunter IV is the best submarine simulator out there is true, it doesn't mean much, especially for new players. Saying it is one of the best simulator games out there is again accurate, but again, a bit of an understatement. Why? Well because... despite the high complexity and realism involved, Ubisoft Romania managed to develop a game that is appealing to the beginners as well, in a certain degree.

Sword of the New World: Granado Espada
Lineage II had it share of success. At the time the game was released, it was one of the most beautiful MMOG on the market. To take its place as the most beautiful MMOG, the Ragnarok Online (or RO) developers from imcGames created Sword of the New World: Granado Espada.

GC: Disciples 3: Renaissance
We were able to take part in 2 battles and what we saw pleased us. The transition to the 3D helped the game and gave it a better view on the battlefield. You can move the camera and this way you get a better look at the action. The units are amazing and their animations are clean and good looking. Same goes for spells and effects: you will love what you see.

Nitro Stunt Racing Stage 1
Last week I began to search some new independent games. Suddenly I stumbled upon this interesting racing game called Nitro Stunt Racing. The title sounds non-original but the content tends to be if not original, at least interesting.

GC: Aion Tower of Eternity
In a perfect world, everything is controlled by a balance between Chaos and Order. But what happens if things start to get messy and a great evil is about to unleash an epic conflict onto the universe? This is what NCsoft decided to unveil and also explain why Aion is a MMO bound to have success.

Race 07
So here I am back on the road with a BMW. This time in Race 07 demo. The only racing-simulation game that really impressed me at GC. But only with the help of the Steam client which probably will become the "god" of online distribution! Anyway a big minus for this decision of playing the game only through Steam.

| Hired Guns: The Jagged Edge December 17, 2008 The latest addition to the Jagged Alliance series, although developed by a different company and having a slightly different title, tries and succeeds to some extent, in preserving the authentic feeling of a classical turn-based tactical game. Severe aiming problems and a handful of bugs that plague the entire gameplay are hurting Hired Guns and we can only hope they'll be dealt with in the upcoming patches.

| Hired Guns: The Jagged Edge December 12, 2008 Game action takes place in the western coast of Africa. There is arms race intensification and exacerbation of a situation in the region. One of local countries desires to be a member of a nuclear club, but had no access to resources to produce it. The country has financed the revolution in another one small country, which possessed that resource. Thus, there was established a special regime in this country and all its resources were crossed to the invaders. Ex-government of the occupied country contacts with a player and suggests interfering in the situation: to overthrow a government of conqueror regime and to restore the previous regime.
