    Cool HEXUS.tv looks at DEFCON: Risk on your PC... with NUKES!

    HEXUS.tv chats with Introversion's Tom Arundel at this year's DEFCON Global Championship. Tom walks through the game as the pros battle it out for a 50" telly.

    [HEXUS.tv]

    I've never seen DEFCON before, but having watched the vid I'm downloading the demo as I type!

    If you like this vid (which you will, or I will destroy you ) then please Digg it.
    PHP Code:

    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    I'd be well up for playing some people off here.


    Does anyone else find it genuinely unsettling when a city gets bombed in this game? It's so simple but oh-so disturbing...

    Yeah also the fact that no fancy explosion or anything just a white flash and the chilling message of 4.3 million people dead etc!

    And im up for some games most evenings

    Lies, lies I say! Buy it! cave in to the peer pressure

    Seriously I highly recommend it and its great multiplayer.

    definitely. this is definitely the most violent game i've played, and i felt physically sick by the end of my first game. it's the coughing and sobbing in the background that does it

    It's strange how the sobbing of a woman is more unsettling than blowing someone's limbs off a la SOF.

    But yes, I am currently moving house but when I'm done with that I'll be up for a game with whoever. I'm pretty pants so no problems there! Any other takers?
