World Of Diving Brings The Beauty Of The Sea To Your PC

World of Diving is not the new tactical underwater FPS where you fight the creature from the black lagoon.

World of Diving also has our favorite VR flavor of the century Oculus Rift support to really get you into the whole underwater experience.

Fields of War shows what happens when someone answers the question “You Want More?!?” with the answer “more…. MECHS! Here you go!” and developer Thermal Erosion was off to build a multiplayer Mech game with 200 Mechs! Well at least that’s how I imagine it going down. Anyway the game features fast paced Mech on Mech combat where you have a choice of five playable classes, each with their own unique abilities.

So no one feels left out Fields of War runs on PC, Mac and Linux and they are all cross-compatible online so there should always be some other Mech jockey on the battlefield to rumble with. Thermal Erosion has added in still bots to keep the 200 Mech on Mech combat exciting but here’s hoping more and more people get into this persistent world and keep it full of humans rather than A.I. The beta is currently up on GamersGate and directly from Thermal Erosion for a call $14.99/€11.99 which seems to be the new, get in cheap on the ground floor, thing in PC gaming. Head pas the jump to check out the gameplay where there really are tons of Mechs stomping up and down the Fields of War getting blown to bits.
