| Defcon has won the IGN Editor's Choice Award and
the award for "Best Artistic Design", in their "best of 2006" article.
Here's a quote:
"Good artistic
design doesn't always mean packing in the most details or most effects.
While many titles manage to get noticed by upping polygon counts and
complex rendering technologies, other titles can wind up doing more
with less. Such is the case with this year's winner, DEFCON.
Introversion's game of nuclear-powered mutually assured destruction may
not have the most impressive technical effects ever, but the overall
design of the game is the most effective we've seen this year."
Defcon was also the Runner Up in "Best Strategy Game", "Best
use of Sound" and "Best Online Game".

2006: top 10 PC games | |
|
| Defcon
was mentioned in Computer and Videogames top 10 PC games list and had
the following to say:
"Introversion's
Defcon wouldn't win any awards for graphical achievement, but anyone
who's played the game will know it's all about the gameplay. Inspired
by the movie Wargames from the early 1980s, the title presented players
with a top-down, 2D view of the world and found countries engaging in
steadily escalating global warfare. And you won by killing the most
people. It was especially brilliant it multiplayer, with immense
satisfaction to be had from nuking the crap out of your opponents'
major cities and watching the death toll climb - and them pounding
their baked potatoes in anger if you happened to be playing it at
office lunch time."
