“Right now we are working full steam on a new simulator series, and the opening release will be dedicated to the Battle of Britain in 1940,” said Maddox. “The guys are using state-of-the-art technologies to achieve the highest realism possible starting with the visual side and ending up with a real feeling of flight.

We’re reliably informed that 1C’s game is one of the best current strategy titles on the market. We may even play it to find out for ourselves. We’re that intrigued.

NecroVisioN has passed classification in Australia, and can now be sold in the country.

Farm 51 and 1C’s army/demon shooter had to undergo some changes to receive the MA15+ rating, like changing blood spray to gray dust, but those looking forward to the FPS can now at least purchase it.

Whether it will be as gory as you like, is another matter entirely.

More over on GamePolitics.

The Australian authorities have refused to grant Farm 51 FPS Necrovision a release thanks to excessive violence, Gamespot reports.

The title is the latest in a long string of games to fall foul of the fact Australia doesn’t allow adults to play adult videogames. The country has no 18 rating for games.

Full thing through there.

Battlefront.com and 1C Company released a playable English demo for Theatre of War 2: Afrika 1943 this morning.

FileFront has it.

It includes one tutorial mission to get you acquainted to the command and control of your units, as well as one full mission, The Battle of Sidi Bou Zid which takes place in early February 1943.

The game launches worldwide on April 24, and customers who have already purchased the first one from Battlefront.com can pre-order Theatre of War 2 at a reduced price.

505 and 1C have released a single-player demo for World War II RTS Men of War.

The full game releases for PC on February 27.

The demo includes the full opening stage of the Russian campaign. Downloaders will also get the chance to try out the “direct control” feature, which enables control of units using the directional keys instead of the mouse.

You can also get behind the controls of a tank to “smash through obstacles, crush soldiers under your tracks and fire armor-piercing shells at enemy placements”.

Lovely. Who hasn’t wanted to drive a tank over someone at one point in their life?

Get it from Strategy Informer.

King’s Bounty: The Legend arrives in stores today.

The RPG/RTS hybrid allows you to lead an army of dwarves, humans, vampires, pirates, snakes and devilfish across a huge continent, completing missions such as leading revolutions, overthrowing tyrants, slaying dragons and taking part in strategic battles. Eclectic.

You can even start your own family should the desire strike you. Mates can be anything from zombies to supernatural creatures — you’ll also gain points for spawning strange offspring.

Nice.

Press release after the jump.
