DESCRIPTION
Inspired by the 1983 film WarGames, Introversion Software's DefCon is a game of global thermonuclear war. Since no one ever wins in a game of nuclear war, the object of DefCon is to lose the least. In control of global nation-states such as America, Russia, or Europe, players vie to best position their countries to survive the pending Armageddon, by strategically deploying their armed forces, firing their missiles, and making and breaking alliances with other nations. The game can be played solo, or against other human competitors online. The initial release of DefCon is available for download through Valve Software's "Steam" service, or in a boxed version ordered directly from Introversion's website. ~ T.J. Deci, All Game Guide

“DefCon takes a catastrophic situation and makes it a game....a perfect idea. Instead of playing as a specific country, players choose a region of the earth and employ nuclear assets to destroy the world. Utilizing various military assets gamers must balance between offensive and defensive tactics to inflict mass casualties while defending their own populous. It feels like a "light" RTS that involves no resource gathering. I will admit that shoveling 18 nukes down a single city is quite humorous but quickly fades after a few runs through the game. Overall a fun play but certainly not a blockbuster smash.”
