Egosoft's space sim game X3: Terran Conflict will soon get a whole lot bigger thanks to the just announced expansion pack The Aldrin Missions. Not only that but the new 2.0 version of the game will include the expansion and will finally ship to stores in the US on April 7.

X3: Terran Conflict was previously released to stores in Europe but was only made avaialble in the US as a Steam-delivered download exclusive title last fall. Now publisher IGS will bring the revamped version of the game to stores on this side of the pond. The 2.0 version will include The Aldrin Missions expansion which will add "a host of new missions, new ships and much more." The new version will also be made available via Steam as well. It's currently unclear if previous owners of the game will get the expansion for free or if they will have to pay for the DLC.

In about a half-hour, we will have a new President of the US. So it makes sense that some folks are taking advantage of the opportunity to promote new games and game deals. One of these companies is IGS who is releasing a new PC game called Commander in Chief. Developed by French based Eversim the title was previously released in Europe as Mission President. It allows players to take over as the leader of any country on Earth. You can create a Cabinet to help run the government and then makes decisions on military, economic, social and other issues.
