Hired Guns: The Jagged Edge (PC Games)

The Dark Continent, a playground for the cruel and corrupt, each with their own agenda. Choose your friends wisely, buy an army of ruthless mercenaries and unleash mayhem on the African countryside. Hired Guns: The Jagged Edge is a turn-based strategy that puts you in command of a squad of specialists for hire in the genre’s biggest game-world yet. Choose “jobs” from different factions and complete them for cash to upgrade weapons and hire elite mercenaries. Tons of guns will let your team destroy anything standing, but smooth talk and a wad of bills can also go a long way towards ensuring success. With multiple story lines and endings, you’re in total control of your own fate. Hey! It’s a jungle out there…on the Jagged Edge. [GFI Games]

Critic Reviews

GameStar
It takes quite some time to get into the game and a lot of it will be spent loading saved games, but once you're over that stage, Hired Guns offers a lot of fun. The game feels like a graphically enhanced Jagged Alliance 2, which isn't bad - quite the opposite. Hired Guns has its weaknesses, but is appealing nontheless.
