Rising, this title allows players to choose their perspective with
the first multiple-race single player campaign in the Dawn of War

Intrigued by the psychopath's mind and methodology, Poirot travels the length and breadth of England - determined to track down this ruthless killer.
Omerta: City Of Gangsters
Is a simulation game with tactical turn-based combat. Taking the role
of a fresh-from-the-boat immigrant, with dreams of the big life, the
player will work his way up the criminal hierarchy of 1920's Atlantic
City. Starting with small jobs, his character recruits a gang and
expands his empire by taking territory from other gangsters. Eventually
he establishes his own crime syndicate and becomes the de facto ruler
of Atlantic City.
The player strategically manages his business and his minions in a
real-time format, slowly but steadily increasing his influence over the
city. The player sends his henchmen out on missions ranging from
assassinating an informant, to raiding a warehouse, springing a friend
from prison, robbing a bank, or attacking a rival gang's hideout.
Nobody is above the law in Atlantic City, so it always helps to have a
little cash handy to bribe a policeman or pay off a politician.
The turn-based combat in Omerta: City Of Gangsters focuses on the
tactical command of "The Boss" and his henchmen. Cover and stealth are
essential parts of any shootout in the game. Finding the best vantage
point to gun down an enemy, while taking cover from a hailstorm of
bullets, can be just as satisfying as sneaking quietly behind a foe and
taking him down.
Medieval II: Total War is a truly epic strategy game that puts you in charge of one of the powers of the middle ages, allowing you to lead your soldiers on the field of battle, as well as plan the expansion of your empire across the Old World.

Battle World: Kronos is a classic turn-based strategy game in the tradition of Battle Isle, Advance Wars and Panzer General. Have you ever wondered what games like that would look like today? Well, we did. As a result, we decided to develope Battle Worlds: Kronos.
