Version 7.0 of the cult classic strategy game AI War has now been released, along with its fifth expansion: Vengeance of the Machine. One of the best-reviewed PC games of 2009, AI War has continued to grow each year with new expansions, new free content, and continual refinements to the deep strategic gameplay it already boasted.
Also new: AI War Fourth Anniversary Edition, which collects the base game plus the first five expansions into one economical package.

"AI War breaks most of the genre's rules. Which is precisely why it's incredible... This out-of-the-blue one-man passion project is one of this year's finest strategy games."
- Alec Meer, PC Gamer UK, November 2009
"It's a balancing act, with your own strength on one side, and the AI's opinion of you on the other. Piss it off before you're ready to face it, and you're going to get squashed. That moment, when you're finally in a position to turn the tables, is about as glorious as gaming gets."
- Phill Cameron, Eurogamer, February 2011
"I think I've stumbled across this year's Really New Thing. There's a lot of 2009 to go, but I'll be surprised if anyone else twists the RTS formula this dramatically and this effectively. And I'm hoping it'll be the Next Big Thing, because it's big, different, entirely unprecedented and an exciting way to play an RTS."
