]]> 22 May 2007 10:54:23 Hostile Engagement The year is now 2024. Over the past three decades, small groups of drug runners joined forces to take control of virtually all drug distribution in the United States. This new organization, the Cartel, was formed to create a political body for the drug runners. By 2018, they were responsible for 98% of the drugs on the market. Drug usage rates among the general populus were at an all time high. To combat this, Congress passed a bill creating stricter punishments for drug possession, use, trafficking, and sale. Losing profits, the Cartel was desperate to retain their lifestyle. They began recruiting a militia, using drugs to pay their soldiers. Bases sprang up in urban areas, such as New York City and Los Angeles. As they continued to grow in number, rioting broke out nationwide. In response, Congress enacted another law creating a new branch of the ATF, OCAT. OCAT (short for Organized Crime Assault Team) used discarded soldiers are specialized in infiltrating and assaulting these gang army units.

]]> 15 May 2007 06:59:07 Left 4 Dead I know what you're thinking, "Not another zombie survival game!" well, this game is different from all those other games. You play as either four survivors that try to go from Point A to Point B, or you have the choice to play as one of the many zombie bosses. Now you may think this will get repetitive in time, but that's not true. The gameplay is different every time you play. Now this game heavily depends on teamwork, if you stroll along by yourself, your going to most certainly die. Weapon choice is simple, you can use MP5's to Uzis. The story is that the in a city have been infected with a sort of rabies that have turned them into zombies. These zombies aren't slow, they're fast and have the ability to climb fences. Oh, I forgot friendly fire is always on, so don't be trigger happy, and also don't jump right in front of your teammates expecting you won't get hurt, because you will. Why is friendly fire always on? The fact is, it makes the game more challenging. If there was no friendly fire, the game would too easy and would be a breeze to finish.

]]> 07 Apr 2007 02:28:54 The Battle Grounds 2 In 1775, the British colonies in the North American continent rose up in rebellion. In 1776, these colonies issued a formal Declaration of Independence, and officially started a war between a fledging nation and an established monarchy. The war would last until ended by the Treaty of Paris in 1783, and homes, lives, and entire notions of life were destroyed.

The Battle Grounds 2 uses the Half-Life 2 (or HL2DM) engine and places you in the shoes of a soldier of the Continental or Royal British army. You can carry a musket and bayonet as a Regular, a pistol and saber as an officer, or a rifle and short blade as a rifleman. Your days in combat will have you spanning the east coast of North America, and you will meet interesting people, and kill them.

]]> 03 Mar 2007 03:43:49 True Combat: Elite What Is TrueCombat:Elite?
TC:E is a modern world total conversion modification of the free, popular, stand-alone first-person shooter Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory. That is, TC:E is an entirely free game, made by gamers, for gamers.

TC:E is currently being developed by GrooveSix Studios and TeamTerminator. While TeamTerminator is known for the famous Q3 based TrueCombat series, GrooveSix Studios was initiated by retired TeamTerminator co-founder Coroner to develop a Return to Castle Wolfenstein modification that is not released. Thus, as very experienced Q3-based content creators, we hope to be able to serve the gaming community with a quality offering.
Now, the most important question: "What can you expect from TC:E?" TC:E is a tactical-team shooter, set up in a modern-world environment. TC:E puts you into the role of elite mercenary soldier in the conflicts of two internationally operating forces.

]]> 10 Feb 2007 01:00:07 Descent III The third installment of the famous 3d shooter Descent. Hop in your Pyro-GX, dive at high speed into the mines and blast hordes of robots without mercy !

Descent3 features the same 360 degrees, 3 axis action that the players of Descent1 & Descent2 have come to love, but this time the game has far improved 3D graphics, more diversified objectives, more lethal weapons, and 3 different ships you can pilot. And for the first time in the Descent series, you can actually fly out of the mines and explore outdoor areas.

Descent3 was also designed with multiplayer play in mind, and features a lot of mutiplayer game modes: the classic deathmatch, teamplay, capture the flag, monsterball (a kind of soccer with giant balls) and enthropy.

]]> 03 Feb 2007 12:12:56 Savage 2 Savage 2: A Tortured Soul is a fast paced strategy shooter that takes team based game play to another level. Each match is a war for dominance where two teams of 5 to 32 players attempt to destroy each other. It will take more than guns to finish the job. Assume your position as a fighter, armed with swords, guns, and magic; or take the field as a support character that builds, heals, and resurrects fallen comrades. Feel like bringing out the big stick? Become a siege unit like the Behemoth (a huge animal biped descendant of elephants that takes down buildings using an uprooted tree) or the battering ram to destroy enemy buildings. Always thought you were a natural born leader? Take control as the leader of the action, the commander, who builds, researches, expands, and tactically strategizes your team's efforts.

Savage 2 is unique and delivers a roller coaster ride of excitement that very few games can. Once you play, you'll never turn back. Consider all your other games obsolete and join those who felt the sensational impact of Savage 1 in an all improved sequel.

]]> 01 Feb 2007 11:51:55 Aliens vs Predator Aliens versus Predator is a science fiction first-person computer game developed by Rebellion and published by Sierra. It was officially released for PC and Mac in 1999, followed by an unofficial port to Linux in 2001, following Rebellion's public release of the game's source code. A sequel to Aliens vs Predator, Aliens vs. Predator 2, was developed by Monolith Productions, and released by Sierra in 2001. It is often considered the successor of the 1994 game for the Atari Jaguar.

The game is a first person shooter (FPS), but differs from most other FPS in that the player can choose the perspective to play from : Alien, Predator or Human (Colonial Marine). These different perspectives afford distinct capabilities and weapons.

In the most conventional case, playing as a human is the most similar to other FPS, and the player is able to access a wide array of weaponry (mostly that from the films). As well as powerful weaponry, Marines wear armour for protection and have an image intensifier and flares to improve visibility in dark environments.

As a Predator, the player make use of Predator weapons such as the Plasmacaster, Disc and Wristblades. Predators are also somewhat more athletic than humans, can make use of a cloaking device to stalk prey, and have a range of different vision modes to aid them in hunting the other species. In the game, default Predator vision is similar to that of humans, but an infrared vision mode is available for tracking humans (similar to that in the Predator films), while a vision mode sensitive to electrical systems allows Predators to track Aliens (and androids).

Playing as an Alien is the most significantly different perspective. Players are able to range freely over any surface regardless of its inclination. This allows wall-walking and completely novel means of attack. However, weaponry is restricted to claws, tail and jaws (for the infamous head-bite), though these themselves reward the player with a fairly unusual experience in FPS combat. By default, Aliens visually perceive the environment in a similar manner to humans, albeit distorted by a fisheye lens to increase field of view. Players can also switch to a "sonic resonance" or echolocation mode to increase visibility in dark environments (as explained in Aliens Vs. Predator 2). This is augmented by an ability to detect pheromones and to discern human or Predator prey.

In the single player mode, the game presents a conventional series of levels to progress through. However, because of the differing abilities of the three species, the levels themselves are not always conventional in structure - Alien levels, for instance, often involve climbing through convoluted buildings. The levels are loosely structured, with progression sometimes a little arbitrary (e.g. Predator players find themselves, for a single level only, on the prison planet Fury 161 from the film AlienÃƒâ€šÃ‚Â³).

]]> 25 Jan 2007 11:19:10 Strife Strife is a first-person shooter computer game based on the Doom engine from id Software. Strife added some role-playing game elements and allowed players to talk to other characters in the game's world.

The world is a comprehensive environment, not divided into levels like most other 3D shooters of the time. Instead, the player travels from a cental hub-like area in the city between various levels which will stay the same as when the player left them.

]]> 24 Jan 2007 10:51:36 Unreal

Alter your reality... forever

A first-person shooter by Epic Games and Digital Extremes, Unreal was the game that started the highly successful and epic (pun not intended) franchise, and was seen as a direct rival to id Software's Quake series (both with the games and the technologies powering them).

You are a convict on a prison transport ship when the ship crashes, marooning you on a strange, magnificent world the likes of which you've never seen. Battle the ruthless Skaarj as you try to free the race they're enslaving. Use your translator to decipher your surroundings, and above all, stay on your toes!

]]> 22 Dec 2006 05:03:26 Postal 2 Notice: Not suitable for children

It's always funny until someone gets hurt... and then it's absolutely friggin' hysterical!

In the second game of the series, you are "the dude", living in a shabby trailer on the edge of the town of Paradise with a significant other whose nagging is just one of the many reasons you might just go over the edge.

Each day you leave home with a list of chores, and day one finds you heading to the office to pick up your check, but a pink slip awaits, as the game continues to urge you to cross the line.

Unlike the 1997 Postal however, in this game you can choose not to let things push you over the edge, instead following a pacifistic route, though you are certain to witness mass carnage either way.

Additional Game Features:

Walk a week in the Postal Dude's shoes.

Freely explore full 3-D open-ended environments.

Interact with over 100 unique NPC's including Gary Coleman, marching bands, dogs, cats and elephants, protesters, policemen and civilians, with or without weapons.

Accessible map of town shows all main locations.

HUD displays current weapon and available ammo, inventory button displaying current selected item, and health status.

Arsenal includes a pistol, shotgun, fully automatic rifle, gasoline can, Molotov cocktails, frag grenades, rockets and more.

POSTAL 2 is all about choice; experiment with everyone and everything.

Originally a complete single player game, various multiplayer modes were later added in the "Share the Pain" edition.

The "1337" patch reduced long load times, and added levels, such as "Tora Bora Cave" where the dude comes across Osama Bin Laden in the course of his search for weapons of mass destruction.

]]> 17 Dec 2006 03:54:28 Unreal Tournament Upon its release in early November 1999, Unreal Tournament surprised the gaming community with its rock-solid network code, challenging single-player bot play, unique gameplay modes, and polished presentation. The critics were equally impressed and UT was awarded with Game of The Year honors by a variety of publications, including GameSpy.com and Computer Gaming World. UT was later ported to the PS2, Dreamcast, Linux, and Mac.
Years later, people are still making great modifications and add-ons for UT. One successful community spawned mod, Tactical Ops, was even recently released as an entire stand-alone commercial product.

]]> 15 Dec 2006 06:28:02 Kingpin: Life of Crime In Kingpin you start out with nothing but a bruising from the henchmen of the local crime boss. After that it's all about revenge, and surviving the roughest parts of a gritty urban environment that has elements of a historical past, but never quite existed.

As you work your way up you win the respect of those you need to help you, as well as do what it takes to acquire the wealth needed to keep rising through the ranks until you're the top dog. Among other things, cash is useful at the "pawn-o-matic" found in each chapter as a means to purchase weapons and ammunition.

The game is bloody, vulgar and relentlessly violent, and has received criticism over this. When installing, you can opt for a reduced level of violence and swearing, although that seems contrary to the inevitable objectives of the game.

The game features nine deadly weapons ranging from lead pipes and pistols to grenade launchers, bazookas and flamethrowers. Multi-player support is provided for both LAN and Internet and offers customizable pre-game options such as time limits, flag limits (maximum death toll) and a cash limit. Up to 16 players can bully and bludgeon their way through an online game at any given time.

Also featured are soundtrack music by Cypress Hill, clever level layouts, an intuitive and fully customizable gui, "area specific damage" to characters, blood, and a gritty, urban ghetto feel through carefully crafted and performed dialogue, sound effects and the artful use of haze and custom textures to achieve the best possible looks the Quake 2 engine could produce at that time.

Developed by Xatrix Entertainment on the Quake II engine, Kingpin: Life of Crime was published on June 30, 1999 by Interplay.

System requirements: 233MHz Processor, 64Mb RAM, OpenGL 3D Graphics card

Ultimately, we hope, you will find the game play refreshing as you experience co-operative multi-player with the added un-sureties of elemental psionics. Shattered Earth will not be your typical "run and gun" fps, expect to be surprised.

]]> 28 Nov 2006 03:30:27 Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory It's a game based on the Quake 3 engine, but it's totally different from Quake 3. 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.
