Latest cheats and more about the games that we were all been waiting for now in a month to month sum up! Usually the beginning of the year is reserved for quick warm ups and press releases about what's going to happen later on. This year was a little different and huge titles such as Supreme Commander and Medieval II: Total War showed up to put a BIG smile on everybody's faces. One of the greatest promises for later this year came from one of the most expected games ever - Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars that just released a demo.

Supreme Commander Warfare at the largest scale ever makes its way to your computers with Supreme Commander. While your hardware components will all tremble with fear of being upgraded, you can enjoy the review (and the tips) on the spiritual successor of Total Annihilation. The funny thing about Chris Taylor's latest creation is that you don't even have to be a RTS fan to really appreciate its greatness. Of course it will be one of the top 10 multiplayer games, but beside that Supreme Commander comes with astonishing graphics, great sound and an impressive background story that could inspire a whole new universe.

Medieval II: Total War Creative Assembly adds another title to the Total War series. Medieval II: Total War is amazing no matter how you look at it. No matter if you are a TBS or RTS fan, this game will be your new favorite title 'cause strategy is right at home here. Even if you enjoy RPGs you may be attracted to it as there are tons of characters to turn them into national heroes, unfortunately as you tend to get closer to your goals they tend to? well, die - usually of old age and less in combat 'cause a strategist that dies in battle can't really be called a strategist. In a few words Creative Assembly did once again a great job in carrying on the legacy of the Total War series and SEGA can proudly distribute another addictive title to strategy fans all over the world. Read more about it in the review or make your life easier with the cheat codes section.

Age of Pirates: Caribbean Tales Exotic islands, trading opportunities and the pirate life style awaits once more to dazzle you in the latest Akella title inspired by some of the most infamous characters in history - Samuel Bellamy, Anne Bonnet, Francis Drake, William Kidd, Henry Morgan, Bartholomew Roberts and Blackbeard Edward Teach remain forever in the history of piracy. Age of Pirates: Caribbean Tales makes use of the 2.5 Storm Engine and captivates your imagination with a new romantic, yet bloody story about trading, cheapskate governors, high seas thievery and two brothers that seek their way back to each other.

Rayman Raving Rabbids Ubisoft's mascot Rayman makes his way to the PCs in dance steps accompanied by licensed versions of various famous songs like Misirlou (Pulp Fiction), Girls Just Want to Have Fun or La Bamba. Rayman Raving Rabbids is all about gladiator Rayman and vicious, yet totally stupid bunnies (white, crazy looking rabbids). This is the kind of game (better said collection of mini-games) that will put a smile on your face with each new completed level. It comes in versions for PC, PS2, PS3, PSP, Wii, DS, GBA, XBOX and X360 (is there anything else left?!?), yet the fun that it provides deserves it all.

Sam and Max: Abe Lincoln Must Die From the hilarious universe of comics Sam and Max show up again. Steve Purcell's characters have been amusing us for about four months now. It was about time that they took a peak into the political stage and shake gloves with the president and the ex-president Abe Lincoln and? enjoy the White House. You can read all about their latest adventures in the review and if by any chance you need some help you can check out the walkthrough.

Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars The end of February brought the greatest surprise though with the release of a demo. Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars threatens to come and get its throne back. Going from one "wow" to another all through the new gameplay experience and staring at the awesome visual effects in the game, we also managed to bring you a preview of the game along with the demo. You'll be amazed. Get it fast!

For the little devil in your gamers' minds a lush list of cheats, tips and tricks on newer games as well as "oldies but goldies" is provided in the Tips and Tricks section. There are tons of cheats and hints in there and it would take forever to tell you about each of them, so I'll just mention some of the most interesting. With C&C 3 on the way you may want to get familiar again with the rest of the titles in the series. In February we took another look at the Command & Conquer: Red Alert series and here's what we came up with to help you: Command and Conquer: Red Alert 2 and Command & Conquer: Yuri's Revenge. From the long list of RTS games you can also choose among: Empire Earth, Age of Empires, Fallout, Dungeon Keeper and a bunch of others.

For TBS fans there's one of the most respected series under the lights: Heroes of Might and Magic V: Hammers of Fate. There's also some help available concerning Galactic Civilization: Dread Lords, UFO: Afterlight . For your killer instincts we've got 47's specials: Hitman: Blood Money and Hitman: Contracts. The RPG fans won't be disappointed either - help with Gothic 3 and Morrowind is available as well as Dungeon Siege and the golden titles in the Forgotten Realms universe Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale series. No, we haven't forgotten the sport cars' fans either. You can get another look at NFS: Underground 2, NFS: Porsche Unleashed, Test Drive 6 and Midnight Club II.
