The catalog in 3D
The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.
How it feels
A fast-paced, high-stakes real-time strategy game that feels like directing a modern military thriller.

What players say
Players praise the 15-hour single-player campaign with live-action cutscenes, but they split on the story: some enjoy its over-the-top patriotism and oil-war plot, while others call it cheesy. Late missions spike in difficulty, and the lack of a pause button bothers some.
