The Collector's Edition of Defcon for the PC by Introversion Software is their follow-up to DEFCON: Everybody Dies and the online RTS, DEFCON. To give you an idea of what Defcon is about, a line from the press release may describe it best: "It's Global Thermonuclear War, and nobody wins. But maybe - just maybe - you can lose the least."

Each match is said to last for about 30 to 40 minutes, during which you have to ready, execute, and follow through on a nuclear strike that will decimate the opposition. Defcon can be run in real-time or up to 20 times faster, which gives players a sort-of difficulty level for the game. For example, multiplayer games are set at the slowest speed to give players ample time to prepare their forces for a nuclear strike.

The developers have also implemented a level system, where the first part has players positioning their Subs and Carriers in preparation for a massive nuclear strike. In addition to this, players should also be actively hunting for their opponent's units during this time. The second phase has the nuclear conflict itself, starting with each territory launching their nuclear assault. The final phase then has the remaining units hunting each other in order to "launch that final all-conquering strike on the enemy capital."

The collector's edition of Defcon is slated to be released in the UK this June 8 for Â£19.99 (about US$ 40). They have even further sweetened the deal by including their cult-classic Uplink in the pack. This game has been rated by PEGI at 7+, so with all the recent talk about video game violence, it makes us wonder what people will be saying about letting seven year old kids play a game which involves launching nuclear missiles at other parts of the world.
