World in Conflict

I am pleased to announce that World in Conflict is now available at Datablitz. As of now, the regular version of the game costs P2195, and, supposedly, comes with a free History Channel DVD, although what it contains is still a mystery.

Sadly, for those of us waiting to get their hands on the Collector's Edition, which comes with a World in Conflict earphone, a peice of the Berlin Wall, and a History Channel DVD, will be very disappointed to know that it is not available at DataBlitz. Damn those evil ninja wizards! Trying to hinder our plans of constructing a new Berlin Wall! Oh well, guess we'll just have to wait for Opposing Fronts to see that happen.

For those of you that don't know. World in Conflict has been commended on reinvigorating and innovating that often stale RTS genre. Popular game sites such as Gamespot gave it a whopping score of 9.5, which makes it second highest rated PC game next to Diablo.

Be warned though that World in Conflict is a very demanding game, comparable to most modern FPS games, and, yes, it has greater system requirements than even Company of Heroes. As of now, it has a minimum requirement of:

CPU: 2.0 Ghz or higher
RAM: 512MB
GPU: 128MB video RAM, Direct X9.0c compatible (around GeForce 6 series at the least)
Hard Drive: 9GB or more

Don't be fooled though as according to the link below, the game can barely run at the lowest settings with a single-core CPU, 512MB RAM, and a video card less than a GeForce 6600.

Anyway, hope to play online with those who are going to purchase the game (hey Vince!). Hopefully we can kick some US, Soviet, or NATO ass soon. =D
