gamigo's Strategy Title, Desert Operations, Gets Graphic Overhaul

Free-to-play military strategy game Desert Operations has been around for 10 years, and that's along time for any game to go without at least a little sprucing up.

Espionage, economics, and alliances will need to be carefully calculated to prevail, and you'll need to research new technology to keep up with your rivals. We're sure none of those elements would benefit from spending real money, though, because that would be wrong.
