Hearts of Iron II: Doomsday

After a long absence, it's time to come back with some updates. Nearly every strategy game is updated, patched, or expanded. So I'll be bringing forward some of these expansions, beginning with Hearts of Iron II .

Opening of the Cold War in Europe

Hearts of Iron II: Doomsday is an expansion pack for this excellent World War Two strategy game, and adds much to the overall gameplay. You still have the option of 175 different countries to select from, but now you can control these nations from 1936 until 1953. This allows time for Doomsday's greatest addition, a scenario depicting a Cold War gone hot, with the Soviet Union and Allies at war. Also included is a new espionage tab, which allows you to spy on friends and enemies alike. Spying, assassinations, and revolts are yours to instigate.

Espionage allows many more options

While keeping the core of the original, Doomsday makes an excellent expansion. Any fan of World War Two strategy games should at least check it out. The gameplay is limitless, now more so than ever before.
