Gamers looking to get their hands on Joint Task Force won't have to wait much longer. This real-time strategy game is currently scheduled to ship in early September, but we took one last look at it during Sierra's recent press event and are pleased with the way it's turning out.
Anyone who's played Command & Conquer: Generals or Act of War will likely be familiar with the basic world outlook of Joint Task Force. In it, the G8 nations form a smaller joint army, similar to that of the UN peacekeepers but with a bit more of an aggressive bent and less bureaucratic overhead, specifically to deal with terrorist threats. The game takes place in 2008, but you won't be playing around with any crazy future technology here; almost every unit in the game is licensed off from real-world equipment manufacturers, such as Boeing, Northrop Grumman, and other players in the high-stakes world of national security and defense technologies.
