Warfare Incorporated for Handhelds

Handmark and Spiffcode are preparing a new game for handhelds: Warfare Incorporated (WFI). WFI is a real-time strategy combat game. As an employee of a mining company, your various missions require you to destroy the forces of a competing mining company and/or an opposing army of independent miners.

The image to the right is a little piece of a screenshot. With the game supporting graphics up to 480x320 (the max resolution currently available on handhelds), there is a lot of detail available on the screen at any one time.

Full-screen demo shots can be found here, and a downloadable movie of actual game action can be found here. It looks as if Handmark will be coming out with both Palm OS and Pocket PC versions of the game.

The game appears to be you-versus-the-computer through a series of scenarios. Head-to-head gaming doesn't currently seem to be an option, but that might be something that appears in version 2 -- who knows for sure. In a nutshell, however, this looks like it will be a really awesome game.

Full disclosure: Craig has a financial relationship with Handmark, although this hasn't kept him from criticizing the company when it screws up and praising it when it comes out with something totally kick-ass (like this game). :-)
