DEFCON: Everybody Dies

Simple, beautiful graphics and gameplay. Great atmosphere. Boring AI opponents and almost nobody online to play against.

This is a good game that could have been great. The graphics are simple, but beautiful and lend to the ominous and creepy "end of the world is coming" atmosphere. However, you will tire of the poor AI opponents quickly and when you go online for multiplayer, you'll find that there just aren't that many people to play against.

It isn't a complex game, but some great games against real people would be enjoyable. Last time I checked, there were probably two dozen people online and only three or four actual games going on. This would make an excellent XBOX Live Arcade game and would draw a lot more people into the competition.

If you have someone to play with at home, buy a copy or two and play via LAN. Otherwise, realize that you may not get a lot of gameplay out of your $20 or $30.
