Very engaging and will get readers attention and excited about the game (513 words)

You investigate a secluded military lab and find something horribly wrong!  All of the scientists are missing and the facility is ransacked.  Years of research and top secret classified experiments are no where to be found.

The missing scientists, known as the Omicron Initiative, are responsible for developing new technologies.  The only clue to their disappearance is a mysterious text message reading "we were forced to do it".  The team's disappearance threatens the secrecy of it's research, which could potentially put your country into a chaotic panic.  Now there's only one person who can rescue the Omicron Initiative and protect its secret technology from falling into the wrong hands.

You are commissioned with rescuing the Omicron Initiative in Isotope 244's latest game Machines at War 3.  In 21 missions you'll race across the world to find out who, or what, is responsible for the team's disappearance.  You'll lead a powerful army ranging from infantry and ships to giant mega units.  The game even allows you to return to any previously played mission to increase your rating and discover hidden objectives.

Once you've solved the mystery of the Omicron Initiative the combat keeps coming.  Machines at War 3 includes both online multiplayer and single player skirmishes.  In these matches almost every aspect is tweakable.  For example you can change not only the victory conditions but which units are available over the course of the match.  You can wage war against three of your friends to see who will reign supreme or battle the game's AI.

With an unprecedented 130 types of units in your arsenal Machines at War 3 truly delivers.  To easily find each type they are split into engineering, buildings, and defense categories.  Units are further divided by tiers, meaning the longer a battle rages, the stronger your army grows; what starts off as basic infantry quickly escalates into huge mega units destroying anything that dares step in their crosshairs.

Basic units make up the first tier, though they're still fully capable of attacking, defending and building.  As they start slaughtering foes the second tier unlocks with new upgrades to research.  Imagine having the power of knowing what units your opponent is building and giving you the chance to build powerful defenses to swat them away like flies.  Unlocking the third tier grants you all units in the game, including ICBMs, satellite systems, and mega units.  But beware, you'll need control of a special resource node to build those monstrous mega units.  If control is lost, production stops, adding yet another element of strategy to Machines at War 3.

An in-depth tutorial helps the game remain accessible no matter your skill level as it walks new players through the basics in boot camp.  Once you've graduated you'll have no problem schooling some veterans on the battlefield.

Machines at War 3 is the total package, offering a diverse set of single-player missions, AI skirmishes, online multiplayer, over 130 units and near-infinite customization to every map. Whether you want to save the Omicron Initiative or just power over your friends in the heat of combat, Machines at War 3 is definitely a must-play.
