Conflict: Vietnam - world's first screenshot!

Ho, ho, ho! UK publisher SCi's super-duper-special Christmas surprise, which was to be revealed on Christmas Day on its website (if you missed our previous article about this, check it here), has already slipped out.

What could it be? A fab, incredible new signing? News that Galleon will actually arrive earlier than expected? Umm, no, it's coverage of a title we all knew about already, but that's no bad thing, we suppose.

SCi's big Christmas Day gift is... wait for it, wait for it - the very first screenshot of the third title in its Conflict squad-based shooter series, Conflict: Vietnam. Or that's what we've deduced from looking at the image, as the publisher is saying nothing on the record.

SCi's seemingly uncrackable "countdown to Chrimbo" timer appearing on its website that promised to reveal the whole shocking truth on December 25 was actually circumvented by wily game fans simply changing the date on the internal clock in a PC, since the image is already live on the company's website. Whoops.

Well, feast your eyes on the pic; and don't forget to be chuffed about getting the image early.
