At the heart of the conflict, when men fought for every inch of land, only visionary leaders could make the choices that would lead their troops to victory. The remarkable sequence of events that inexorably led to the 'Great War' is written in our history books and pictured in our movies. Now a turn-based strategy game captures this time of war with unprecedented realism and accuracy.

World Supremacy is a beer-and-pretzels strategy game of contemporary conflict for one to eight players. In World Supremacy players have but one goal: total global control through utter annihilation of all who oppose.

Mission accomplished. We did everything that we set out to do yesterday: run a few errands and watch TV. We're professionals, trained in the art of doing very little during the weekends. We watched Bones, Burn Notice, Chuck, Fringe, Hell's Kitchen, House and Human Target, mixed in with some Vindictus, Stronghold Kingdoms and our beloved Smurfs' Village on iPod.

This week will be a rather short one, as Thursday is Thanksgiving, so most places will shut down early on Wednesday and prepare to chow down on turkey. The in-laws will be in town, so we are in charge of the festivities.

More importantly, I'm going to be scoping out a few places on Black Friday to see if I can score myself a new gaming PC.

Revolution Under Siege is a simultaneous turn based historical wargame that puts you in charge of one of the factions that fought the Russian Civil War (1917-1923).

We didn't really get much done yesterday. We went out to brunch with some friends and varnished our patio table. Shortly thereafter, it started raining like crazy, and I'm talking about rain coming down in buckets, with some hail, thunder and lightning thrown in for good measure. Somebody was having a party up there ...

Later in the evening, we went to dinner with a friend and watched Due Date, which was quite funny.

The plan for today? Quite simple: do some grocery shopping and watch a ton of shows on the DVR.

With a fresh infusion of real world detail and blistering racing action, NASCAR The Game 2011 completely redefines what fans can expect from a NASCAR racing game.

Nail'd is truly a hellish ride. No other racing game has ever featured such differences in altitude! Only those who master daring jumps into unknown depths at ultimate top speeds stand a chance to win the challenging action races in nail'd.

Another awesome concert in the bag! Bad Religion's 30th anniversary tour was a blast, and even both opening acts were half decent. The show was sold out and the crowd went wild from start to finish with a massive mosh pit spanning half of the concert hall. Good stuff! All that aside, 30 years is quite an achievement when you consider that most bands these days can't even stay together for a few years without having "creative differences."

Good thing it's the weekend, so my hearing has a few days to recover. Too bad for the people we're going out with tomorrow. Guess I'll just have to smile, nod and pretend that I can hear the discussion.

Natural Selection 2 is the next evolution in multiplayer action/strategy gameplay and will be targeted for both competitive and public play. New features include dynamically changing environments, a new resource model, flexible game scripting and modes, and new weapons, abilities and upgrades.

Another day, another batch of games shipped to stores. Instead of giving them all their own posts, we grouped them, and so far there are announcements for:

• Making History II: The War of the World (PC)
• Star Sentinel Tactics (PC)

We will update this throughout the day when new announcements become available. Read more for details ...
