EndWar Escalation Expansion ready to expand

by Dustin Burg { Dec 11th 2008 at 3:45PM }

As was mentioned less than twenty-four hours ago, a hunk of new EndWar downloadable content has made its way to the XBLM and has got EndWar gamers tickled. In a good way.

As far as specifics go, the 442MB EndWar Escalation Expansion costs 800 MS points and includes four new Skirmish missions (firebase in Kursk, assault on Devon beach, raid on Rota naval base, and conquest of Dorsey Knob) as well as three unit upgrades and some new ~~achievements~~ achievables. Yes, achievables! Now, to decide if all that EndWar goodness is worth the 800 points.

Worldwide PSP releases for the week of November 2

by Majed Athab { Nov 2nd 2008 at 11:00AM }

We knew things had to slow down at some point, and it looks like that "some point" would be now. This week's PSP releases offer a bit of Tom Clancy's patented war thrills, while Europe gets a slightly early taste of WWE's latest.

NA Games:

Tom Clancy's EndWar

EU Games:

Asian Games:

No new releases

Surprisingly, we're writing the "no new releases" line for Asia. Who would have thought that was actually ever going to happen?

Here are the Trophies for Tom Clancy's EndWar. The RTS game places you in 2020 during World War III. You can play as three factions: the Russian Spetsnaz Guards Brigade, the European Federation Enforcers Corps and the United States' Joint Strike Force. Sounds like typical Tom Clancy fare to us. The game will be out November 4th in the US and the 7th in Europe.

PAX 2008: Polly wants a tank rush

by Ross Miller { Aug 31st 2008 at 2:30AM }

Although we missed the presentation ourselves, the gang at Robot Martini caught Ubisoft's demonstration of Tom Clancy's EndWar audio power at PAX 2008. To do so, they pitted two parrots against each other in a multiplayer match. Check out the video yourself after the break. When Polly says "deploy tanks," you take cover and hide your crackers (har).

Tom Clancy's EndWar beta goes live

by Xav de Matos { Jun 16th 2008 at 11:30AM }

As clocks struck midnight around the globe, Ubisoft began turning on servers and releasing beta keys for its upcoming console RTS Tom Clancy's EndWar. Due to the staggered release of keys for the small beta (speculation is only 15,000 testers were selected) some of the testers were quick to proclaim the release a disaster; as it turns out Ubisoft was intentionally releasing the beta in waves throughout the evening and early morning.

Tom Clancy's EndWar Beta, which clocks in at a sizable 2.98GB, gives players the chance to play through one of three planned online modes in 1v1 or 2v2 matches and is planned to run until July 7.

EndWar beta invites begin pouring in

by Xav de Matos { Jun 10th 2008 at 2:00PM }

Early this morning, the first wave of invites for the beta release of Tom Clancy's EndWar have begun to flood email boxes everywhere. Beginning June 16, selected gamers will be able to experience the first RTS title to brandish the Tom Clancy name for three-weeks when the beta ends on July 7.

The EndWar Private Demo/Beta, as it's officially referred to as, includes a reduced part of one of the 3 game modes planned for the retail release of EndWar. The beta will feature online play only for matches of 1v1 or 2v2. Gamers who participate in the beta will receive exclusive Gamerpics, which will be released to testers at a later time.

Signing up for the beta requires a non-disclosure agreement that disables participants from disclosing any information, not currently available, to any third-party source. So, when your mother asks you why you're yelling at your television you'll just have to play along and act crazy. Unless you actually aren't actually in the beta, in which case ... seek help immediately.

Jump in for a peak at our invite email sent to us at 5:30 AM EST.

EndWar: The year 2020 brings 1000 unit battles

by Dustin Burg { Mar 9th 2008 at 3:00PM }

Tom Clancy's EndWar has a new official blogging home over at IGN and with the dev team's first blog we get a quick and dirty rundown of some of EndWar's key facts, figures and features. Some tidbits we've known (voice commands) and some we didn't (the game is set in the war riddled year 2020). We're especially intrigued by the fact that EndWar will be able to render over 1000 units all at once in ginormous battles as well as the fact that they'll be including around forty different battlefields when the game releases. To us, forty sounds like enough variety to kick off the RTS fun with no problem. Make the jump to get the lowdown, retain some EndWar facts and maybe learn a thing or two about Russian Spetznaz Guard Brigades. Jump away ...
