Commandos 3 is a tactical action strategy game set against the backdrop of World War II where you must take control of an elite group of Commandos as they venture deep into enemy territory. Commandos 3 aims to take the stunningly detailed graphics and absorbing gameplay of the series to a whole new level. The game features an improved graphics engine, more realistic AI (artificial intelligence), and a greater variety of enemies and equipment. The structure of the game has been completely revamped; it is no longer mission based and instead features a strong narrative that drives the player through the game. Commandos 3 also promises to be more accessible and easier to play than previous games in the series.

1.42 UPDATE PATCH:

[General fixes]
[+] The game would sometimes crash when either a Commando or Allied Soldier tried to enter a vehicle when seen by a guard dog.

[+] In the load/save menus some key sequences were causing the game to freeze and the music to loop.

[+] Some tool tips of 1 character length were not being drawn. It was most noticeable in the Asian (Japanese, Chinese and Korean) versions.

[+] Players were able to call themselves 'EMPTY', making it difficult for other players to know who's who both in character selection and in the game.

[+] In the Central Europe Mission "Ambush Convoy", the armoured vehicles were stopping when they detected a Commando or Allied Soldier; this prevented the art trucks from entering the map when it happened near the western border. Now they will remember their true objective, and will try to escape even if they see an allied unit.

[+] The timer in some missions was over-running the objectives window, making it difficult to read the objectives.

[+] In missions such as "Stalingrad: Berlin", the tool tips for some Gestapo soldiers were not showing as "GESTAPO" but "SOLDIER", which would be confusing because it appeared that soldiers of lesser ranks could see through a higher ranking officers uniform when worn by the spy.

[+] Now every "Gestapo" soldier tool tip will be displayed correctly.

[+] When a crash occurs the profiles would frequently be wiped out and the saved games could not be read.

[+] The F6 key inconsistency has been addressed. During the "Normandy: Omaha Beach" mission, the F6 key (when pressed), wouldn't highlight any of the Allied Soldiers.

[+] When using a submachine gun, the bullets were sometimes hitting enemies in a different room, and were not hitting enemies in the right one.

[+] When the following action was carried out (while climbing a ladder, interrupt the action) it would Sometimes cause the controlled characters to crawl at twice the normal speed.

[+] It was possible to exceed the amount of pages used for saves/load files.

[+] During the "Stalingrad: Protect The General" mission, if at least one of the Commandos was already inside the plane, and all the others were killed outside, the "Mission Complete" text was triggered as if the mission was correctly finished.

[+] An issue would occur during a multiplayer game using Allied Troops they, could be ordered to dive into the water, although they are not intended to do so. They are then not able to resurface,and quickly drown.

[+] Text corrections have been made in the Polish, Russian and Czech versions.

[+] An issue with killing or stunning some soldiers who were sitting in a chair has been addressed.

[+] During the Central Europe mission "Steal the Train", the Thief would warp to a mismatching location when entering through certain windows of a train carriage.

[Multiplayer fixes]
[+] Players crashing sometimes from chat room when players were being kicked from a game.

[+] Occasionally when a co-op game is created, someone would be kicked on the 'Configure Game' screen once a game was started by the host.

[+] Once in-game, if the game statistics were activated, this would sometimes cause the game to crash back to the desktop.

[+] Characters were able to move before recovering from being knocked out.

[+] When restarting a multiplayer game, sometimes some characters were shown as dead, although they were alive.

[+] Users could not see other people’s chat depending on the order in which they joined the server.

[+] When showing multiplayer scores, the names were not matching the colours and score.

[+] Multiplayer chat function was overflowing in some menus.

"Sea, Sex and Sun"

Think Fun, Sun, Sand and Sex and you’ve captured what Beach Life is all about.

Set against a variety of exotic locations around the world, players must fight it out to build the best possible holiday experience for their guests and then watch the results. Along the way they’ll experience all the joys and the headaches of a typical package holiday ; from romance and overindulgence to dodgy water and half-built apartments.

Beach Life offers the gamer something different to what they’ve ever experienced before. Offering the planning and management options of a Tycoon style game with the people watching intrigue of The Sims. Players must build and run their island whilst reacting to the needs of their guests and then watching the hilarious and sometimes disastrous consequences.

Features:

[+] Develop Your Own Unique Holiday Resort.
Choose from over 50 different rides, attractions and facilities. Focus on water-based activities with Jetski’s, Paragliding, Speedboats, Pedaloes, Party Cruises and Snorkelling. Or build up your beaches with Barbecues, Beach Discos, Volleyball and Event Stages and many others.

[+] Outrageous And Hilarious. Laugh (or cry) as your guests get up to all kinds of antics including Wet T Shirt Contests, Beauty Contests, Beach Parties and ‘booze’ cruises. See the guests get ill, get drunk, get horny or get fighting!

[+] Rich Character Behaviours. Rather than the usual faceless, nameless people that appear in many sim games, Beach Life features strongly differentiated character types with their own traits and preferences. We’ve got sun-worshippers, lager-louts, sporting types, party-goers, you name it, we've got it.

[+] Challenging and Enduring Gameplay. Beach Life features two main modes of play – Campaign-style and Freeform. The campaign mode puts fourteen different resort challenges in front of the player; each features different environments, weather patterns, guest types, hazards and objectives. In the Freeform mode, players may choose any island they’ve previously completed in the campaign and mode and play with it any way they like, ad infinitum.

[+] Cool soundtrack and A Built-In MP3 Player

[+] ‘Voyeur’ Mode. With the aid of the built in ‘camera’ facility with zoom lens, players can track individuals in their resort as they go about their holidays. There’s even an option to take ‘photos’ of your favourite moments which can then be printed, emailed to friends or posted to the Beach Life website!

You are Garrett, the master thief. Rarely seen and never caught, Garrett is the best that ever was. Able to sneak past any guard, pick any lock, and break into the most ingeniously secured residences. Garrett steals from the wealthy and gives to himself, making his living in the dark and foreboding City.

World weary and cynical, Garrett wants nothing more than to be left alone to ply his trade. But things never work out that way.

In this instalment, Garrett finds himself without allies, standing alone between the City and the forces that would crush it. Will his skills be enough to save the dying City? Can he survive betrayal, assassins, and war in the labyrinthine city streets? Will he destroy or be destroyed by the evil he awoke? And finally, what must he do to get what he wants most of all: to be left alone plying his trade as the City’s greatest… Thief?

ShellShock: Nam ‘67 takes you on one man’s journey through a rookie’s first tour of duty in one of the most atrocious conflicts of the 20th century, The Vietnam War. ShellShock goes where the GI’s had to, but no game has dared to before.

Experience the shocking realities and tragedies of what actually happened out in the jungle, from napalm strikes and gruesome VC booby traps to the permanent threat of invisible enemies and deadly ambushes. This is a war game about the unbelievable fear, chaos and anguish of Vietnam. If you make the grade you just might survive.

Features:

Gritty Content – Portraying the brutal atrocities and controversial actions of the Vietnam War, ShellShock: Nam ’67 provides gamers with the most true-to-life, uncensored depiction of the Vietnam experience for the first time in a video game.

Intense Combat – Fight your way through a variety of missions ranging from large-scale battlefield encounters with the NVA to stealth-based missions.

Unconventional Warfare – From napalm attacks, intricate tunnel systems and deadly booby traps to fighting militiawomen.

Character Growth – Develop from a fresh-faced rookie to a hard-edged Special Forces agent.

Realistic Injury – Soldiers don’t simply live or die. A struggling, wounded or bleeding fighter will still attempt to take down their enemy.

Diverse Environments – From dense lush jungles and rural villages to claustrophobic tunnels and waterlogged paddy fields, Vietnam’s contrast-ridden environments are dangerous hunting grounds littered with booby traps and secret VC hiding places.

Numerous Weapons – You will have full access not only to a range of US weaponry, but can also use the VC and NVA’s own weapons against them.

Interactive Base Camp - Socialize and interact with the platoon. Develop relationships with different soldiers, find out information on forthcoming missions, test weapons on the firing range or just kick back and listen to the DJ.

Championship Manager 5

COMING SOON: Championship Manager 5

Genre: Football Management
Developer: Beautiful Game Studios
Platform: PC CD-ROM
Players: One Player
Rating: Pending
Game ID: 160
Demo: N/A
Movies: N/A
Screenshots: N/A
Media: N/A

Eidos’ Championship Manager series is undoubtedly the greatest football management game of all time. Over the last decade it has gone from strength to strength, making armchair managers out of millions of players. For the next version, Eidos has put together a dream team to ensure that Championship Manager 5 continues this fine heritage. Beautiful Game Studios boasts a 30-strong squad with more ‘gallacticos’ than Real Madrid, all aiming to enhance the addictive qualities that make the game such a winner. Championship Manager 5 promises to be the closest you'll ever come to the highs and lows of real football management without actually owning a sheepskin jacket. Back of the net!

Features:

NEED FOR SPEED - Sick of having to put the kettle on between matches? CM5 will provide a much faster gaming experience than before.

STAT ATTACK - Previous versions of Champ Man have relied on the good will of fans to provide information on the players in the game. This time round the developers have taken a more specialized approach, employing the services of the Professional Football System, a long-standing agency who provide information to actual clubs and managers around the world. Established in 1999, the services of the PFS have been utilised by clubs from The Premiership, Serie A and La Liga, including no less than the mighty Real Madrid.

IT'S TRAINING MEN - CM5 will offer a user-friendly training module, albeit still with a comparable amount of detail. Training schedules will be easier to implement, and BGS has been working closely with Charlton Athletic’s First Team Coach, Mervyn Day, who has designed optimised regimes for certain areas.

THE BIG MATCH - After years of following matches through text commentary, a brave new world was introduced in CM4 via the 2D overhead match engine. Generally a popular decision, CM5 will utilise a similar approach with a quicker, smoother experience.

SEARCH FOR A STAR - Unearthing undiscovered players is a huge part of football, and therefore of Champ Man. The scouting system in CM5 is being tweaked to enable more specific searches to be carried out.

TACTICAL GENIUS - The tactics screen has always been a success in Champ Man but BGS is making subtle improvements. As well as adding arrows for players to make runs, managers will now be able to add further arrows instructing players where to play the ball, into the channels for instance.

SEAL THE DEAL - A fully realistic transfer model is being employed, encompassing an array of factors including finances, reputation and player personalities. Buying players will be more than a case of simply offering the cash, so attempting to lure Ronaldo and Zidane from Real Madrid to Chelsea will not be a formality. You will first have to establish yourself as a decent manager with the potential to win major trophies, and the loyalty of the players in question will also prove a key factor. As of course will their wages.

Minimum System Requirements:
Windows 98/200/XP
Pentium III 600 or better (P4 1.2 recommended)
128MB RAM (256MB recommended)
300MB hard drive space
