Totem Games now offers digital
distribution of
Ironclads 2: American Civil War, an unexpected sequel to
their strategy game set in the early days of modern naval conflict. Here's word:
In 1862, when Farragut's Union squadron was preparing to occupy the vital
hub of the South - New Orleans, the Confederate agent L. Merton approached the
Austrian government for a passible naval arms deal. Relations between the
Austrian Empire and the North were poor during the war. The Austrians tried to
interest the Confederacy in steam warships, many of them gunboats. With the New
Orleans ironclads, they could present a dangerous challenge to the Union navy on
the high seas, potentially capable of overwhelming squadrons on individual
blockading stations. In reality, the deal never took place - but it could have
happened!
Create your fleet, hunt the enemy's fleet, hide your weak squadrons in protected
ports until reinforcements arrive, blockade enemy trade routes, struggle for
dominance over the seas in turned-based strategic mode – All of these actions
are possible in Ironclad 2 American Civil War. The real time tactical battle
mode allows you to set up battles and squadron groups with their formations and
management using realistic ship models and characteristics as well as advanced
ballistics and weapon models. Choose your ships, increase the experience of your
crews and send your squadron into the high seas. Command a battle formation and
experience the power of iron and steam in a turned- based maritime strategy mode
while fighting battles with a tactical real time naval simulation game. Raise
anchor and get Ironclads 2 American Civil War now!

Resident Evil Facebook page indicates the recent
Resident Evil HD may
be followed by a similar high definition remake of
Resident Evil 2
(thanks
Destructoid). Here's word on the survival of this survival/horror sequel:
Hello RE fans! This is H again!
Right after the RE HD Remaster project was finished, I actually started putting
together my ideas for this "RE2 Project". So, I just brushed it up and went to
see my boss to present the basic concept of the project already…
I finally relented and installed the downstairs air conditioner yesterday. There
were a couple of points in July where this almost happened (and probably should
have), but yesterday it got to be a bit too much, and the AC provided the
expected relief. I can't quite put my finger on why we stubbornly make this such
a dramatic decision around here (though hauling the unit up the stairs from the
basement served as a bit of a reminder). It's not like anyone is forcing us to
turn it on if we don't want to. Oh well, people can be funny.
