It's a WWII themed FPS game, but it's not as realistic as say CoD. It has realistic textures, but the movements are Quake 3 style and it's also very fast paced like Quake 3. It's one of the best game out there in my opinion. The combination of a realistic theme with an unrealistic gameplay is just awesome. Try it out for yourself, you'll get hooked.

]]> 10 Dec 2006 05:23:36 Egg's Ultima Online EUO is an Ultima-based online RPG with many influences, varying from Diablo-style hack'n'slash to NetHack quirks. It is closely tied to the Origin Ultima V RPG.

Created originally by eggmceye to be a rogue-like game named Balrog in 1998, it was quickly turned into an Ultima-like game with the discovery of an Ultima 4 tileset created by Josh Steele, giving the game its retro feel. Over the past nine years, it has slowly evolved into an online RPG with a small but growing fanbase spanning two servers, each one incorporating slighty different gameplay.

In those nine years, the game has grown from a four player only server to one that incorporates a full Ultima V magic system, including the Runic alphabet, crafting and creature taming. It also contains numerous easter eggs in tribute to NetHack.

]]> 13 Feb 2007 01:38:57 Armegetron Armagetron takes one of America's favorite virtual sports from the movie Tron, light cycle battles.

The project is freeware, and has passed hands onto a new team from the original creators.

While not the most stunning visually of the light bike simulators it is by far the most scalable, and runs on the widest array of machines to my knowledge.

Armagetron also has excellent lan and online multiplayer. You can host a new game from your pc, or even run a dedicated server.

This an excellent game for the casual and competitive gamer. As you speed through walls at break neck speed trying to out think your opponent you're guaranteed to have a blast.
