About WarPath™
One planet amidst a sea of lifeless stars holds the promise of life, faith, and a new beginning for two different alien races, each coveting it for their own.

The biomechanical Ohm were once a peaceful race, but perpetuated their own demise through their obsession with machines - a fascination that led to an evolutionary shift leaving their species physically weak and infertile. By fusing flesh and machine they were able to survive but were transformed into aggressive nomads forced to ravage planets in search of life-giving energy.

The relatively young race of Humans has sent out a Coalition searching for ideal environments in which to continue to propagate their species. They happen to stumble upon the idyllic Kaladi system unaware that the peaceful and perfect planet is about to be the center of a fierce war.

What you must do is claim this world for your race, laying waste to your enemies as you strive to attain dominance on a futuristic battlefield. Take on opponents one on one or in DeathMatch modes. Use alien weapons and technology to frag your enemies in fierce FPS action. Enter the battlefield of the future and rush to crush your adversaries. Master the blistering pace and frantic action that is WarPath.

About L.A. Street Racing™
Put prestige, pink slips and cold hard cash on the line. The finish line! Just make sure you get there first.

The night is yours, the streets are yours and that sucker's ride is going to be yours too, just as soon as the pedals drop and this show hits the road, literally. Just strap in, hold on and don't swallow your tongue, because there's no first and second place here, only winners and losers. Tracks on city streets are lit up with turns indicated by large glowing arrows. Avoid parked cars and other obstacles. Watch out, the hand brake is quite touchy and takes some getting used to, try using regular braking to slow your speed and avoid spinning out around corners. Good luck!

About Close Quarters Conflict™
Private Military Corporations (PMCs) have become big business, as small governments and large multi-national corporations have increasingly come to rely on the flexibility, value and discretion that PMCs provide in their security schemes.

In 2006, the Darkrock Corporation announced its intention to provide the full spectrum of security needs to anyone with pockets deep enough to engage their services. Two years later, Lubriconn International retained the services of Darkrock to secure the release of oil crews held hostage by the Venezuelan government, beginning a series of events that led to the overthrow of the democratically elected government of Venezuela by the Darkrock Corporation; leaving the country in the stewardship of the oil conglomerate Lubiconn .

As Lubriconn’s grip on the global oil market tightens, EurOil, the second largest oil company in the world, retains the services of Force Objective International, Darkrock’s principal competitor in the PMC business, to regain control of those oil production facilities and other energy producing assets that Darkrock had seized at the behest of Lubriconn. Now, these two corporations, staffed with the cream of the Specwar crop (Navy SEALs, US Army Recon Rangers, SAS, GIGN, SPEZNAZ), square off in squad combat around the world, the ultimate mercenaries. Where governments can’t or won’t get involved, when lobbying fails, the PMCs will answer the call… if the price is right.
