Shadez: The Black Operations
Command black-ops troops, armour and air strikes from a shadowy command van: a fast, minimal real-time strategy where the orders are a click and the battlefield is a haze of dust and tracers. Sean Cooper's follow-up to the Boxhead games sent a whole army in instead of one gunner, and the portal that carried it rated it among its best: 4th in CrazyMonkeyGames' own Top Rated table and 1.78 million players deep by the new year. Deploy infantry, armour and air support, and keep the objectives coming.
