Initially set for a fourth-quarter 2006 release, Ancient Wars: Sparta was pushed back to April 2007 to give Russian developer World Forge more time to polish the code. When we first saw the game back in September 2006, it showed some promise. Recently, we dove straight into the game when given the chance to revisit it.
Each mission is nicely set up with a backstory as an introduction.
The game is set in ancient Greece and the surrounding area and features three factions: Spartans, Persians, and Egyptians. Each faction has its own unique story campaign, which builds in size and complexity as you go. Some missions require you to complete them with the units you're given at the beginning of the game, but most missions require you to act in the more traditional resource-building fashion, giving you a base from which to develop and build your forces.
Right off the bat, the game feels a lot like the classic RTS game Age of Empires II: Age of Kings, but with a significant graphical overhaul. It's the kind of game that encourages you to build up your stash of supplies and take on the various challenges around the map piecemeal, gradually increasing your army's strength and taking over vital resources as you go. In general, the missions task you with either locating key heroes or destroying opposing armies and bases, while the story for each faction unfolds in cutscenes along the way.
It's just a few days before the long-awaited start of the 32nd America’s Cup, one of the most prestigious sporting events in the world, and 93 Games and Ascaron are pleased to release the first official trailer of the latest version of its Virtual Skipper games – now known as 32nd America’ s Cup – The Game. Even if you're water-phobic, it's worth taking a look at this exciting new video that shows match races between the competition’s official boats on an ultra-realistic modelled and perfectly animated sea. No other computer game ever created shows such a detailed and realistic ocean, no matter the time of day or the weather.
Some of the great contenders for this year's America's Cup Trophy include: Alinghi, BMW Oracle, Team New Zealand and Luna Rossa. Starting next week, the struggle between the challengers in Valencia, Spain will engross the entire world. In July, the winner of these early races will face the Swiss boat Alinghi, the current holder of the trophy, in a thrilling final.
Along with the new video, we've released several new screenshots to help get gamers excited for the game, and the start of the real-world event.
32nd America’s Cup – The Game will be released in Europe on 27th April 2007, on PC DVD. At this point we don't have a New Zealand Release date.

This expansion is looking particularly good and well worth getting. Here is a modified review from GWN
When we all found out that Oblivion was coming out with a proper expansion, who here doubted that it would be anything less than fantastic? Bethesda has always delivered with everything it has produced in the Elder Scrolls category and they continue to evolve by making their storylines increasingly engaging.
If you’ve played through Oblivion you know that it can consume vast amounts of hours and pretty much your entire social life. Myself alone, the game robbed me of almost 200 hours of my life. Even when the game ended I was left wanting more. Although more downloadable content was created, none really took more than an afternoon to complete.
Each mission is nicely set up with a backstory as an introduction.
