    A curious game. The only way to win is not to play.

    By the_spread | Review Date: Dec 11, 2006 | PC

    Hunkered down in an underground bunker, you gaze at the monitor and contemplate what those symbols actually mean. Thousands of feet above you, hundreds of Inter Continental Ballistic Missiles are raining down on your cou... Read Full Review

    Haunting. Scary. Treacherous. Deadly. Evil. Menacing. Goddamn FUN. All words that describe this game!

    There are few other games like this out there. It's quite an original approach to the concept of Nuclear War. It's certainly an emotional experiance to play it. You're torn between it being feeling elated at a victory... Read Full Review

    It's Just That Simple

    By AlexChec | Review Date: Nov 26, 2006 | PC

    Like Pac-Man, Missile Command, or any other of the great arcade games, DEFCON shows that you don't need a lot of flashy graphics, a John Williams soundtrack, or a Hollywood feature budget to make a good game. There is... Read Full Review

    good, but not worth buying.

    A gripping and chilling Strategy Game

    By swillard888 | Review Date: Nov 15, 2006 | PC

    I found this game extremely good, in the way that it shows that you do not need amazing graphics or 1000s of people working on a game for it to be good. It has such a simple way of playing, but as soon as you hit defcon... Read Full Review

    Chilling, Cold, Bloodcurdling Simplicity

    By RoaDKiLLD | Review Date: Nov 01, 2006 | PC

    The map and the ambience really makes you feel like you are ordering a massive nuclear strike and dragging in the four horsemen before their time. You start to feel queasy as the white blips engulf your cities, radars, ... Read Full Review

    Excellent and simple in a cold and morbid way.

    By raptisth | Review Date: Oct 21, 2006 | PC

    One of the few games that these days offer a strong experience. Kinda reminds us of our high-school days when "WAR GAMES" came to the movies. I almost weeped when I saw the GUI and made the connection with the ... Read Full Review
