   With all the GDC commotion, we barely managed to pick up the new transmission from the Silent Hunter 4 website, announcing that Ubisoft's latest submarine simulator has gone gold and is ready to set sail for retail on March 22. As with the previous instalment, the game was developed by Ubi's Romanian studio, who left behind the U-Boat "wolf packs" and switched their attention over to the Pacific theatre of war. As such, this time around we'll take command of American submarines, as we hunt down the Japanese naval forces during World War II.

   Aside from the graphical and gameplay advancements, the new Silent Hunter 4: Wolves of the Pacific will also be extended with more editions to chose from. Joining the standard edition (priced at £29.99) will be a Collector's edition (£34.99), as well as a Deluxe edition (£49.99). Regardless of which one you choose, you'll also get a manual, a map of the Pacific Ocean and a quick Reference card with the keyboard commands, in addition to the game DVD.

   The Collector's edition will add the following goodies in the pack:
- A Recognition Manual containing the full technical specifications of all 88 authentic looking war machines featured in the game
- The original soundtrack of the game, composed and played by Rod Abernethy and Jason Graves. A great way to plunge back into the atmosphere of the troubled Pacific Ocean!
- The official iron-on arm patch of the game    And finally the Deluxe edition will contain all of the above thingies, plus these:
- 20 additional pages of content (in the Deluxe Recognition Manual)
- A 145 booklet with leather-style cover, together with a metal pen marked with the game logo
- An Exclusive DVD documentary with 60 minutes of rare footage, including 3 US Navy films tracing the stages of the Pacific War
- The game Silent Hunter 4: Wolves of the Pacific medal in its presentation box
- An exclusive mouse pad
- A series of 6 unique postcards
- A numbered certificate of authenticity    If Wolves of the Pacific is anything as good as Silent Hunter III, this should be another sub-sim to remember!
