    ]]>     13 Dec 2006 10:48:36     Thread Space: Hyperbol www.hyperbol.com
    TS: Hyperbol is a game viewed Top-Down over a flat playing-field as you take control of a Ship that you customize in order to destroy your opponents. Game Types include Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, King of the Hill, Spawn Capture, Attack/Defend Objectives, and more to be added later with a Map editor.
    Your ship functions more like a Battleship, as it is stationary most of the time, a Turret that you can move occasionally across the map into strategically key positions, or simply to dodge incoming fire. The farther you move, the long you have to wait to move again. Or, you can customize your ship to recharge it's fuel rapidly if you wish to use a more active flighty Ship.
    There are 6 Weapon modules that will produce the weapons you use. Your factory can hold up to 6 Mods total, so if you want more of 1 type, you have to forgo access to another. Having more then 1 will make production of that type faster, and allow you to hold more in your max stock. Each Mod will produce several different projectiles, for example the basic 'Ballistics' mod will give you access to Energy Bolts, Missiles, and Shrapnel Bombs. Also, once you have build a total of 6 Mods, you have the option to Upgrade 1 of them into a lv. 2 Super version. All the weapons made by this super Mod are either upgraded, or totally new versions of the weapon. As the above example, the Bolts do extra damage, the Missiles become MIRV Packs, and the Shrapnel Bombs become Shrapnel Wedges, which fires all it's shards in a cone instead of in all directions.

    ]]>     23 Jan 2007 06:58:24     Monochrome Monochrome is a top-down multiplayer game inspired by Tank Wars, Soldat and Crimsonlands. Players face off against each other in free-for-all mayhem. Gameplay is fast and furious with room for skill and tactical play, given the right group of players.

    The game links size directly to health: If you're healthy you're big and easy to hit; If you're low on health you're tiny and can squeeze through narrow areas to get out of danger.

    There are 5 weapons, each following a specific elemental theme, with a primary and secondary attack mode per weapon. They're designed to compliment each other and enable specific playstyles: A close-quarters fighter is going to enjoy the Flamer's high damage output and it's secondary ability to lay down globs of napalm to herd players and keep them from running away; Whereas a more timid player might prefer to stick to the Earth weapon's bouncing projectiles and grenades...

    WASD + Spacebar to leap, mouse-aiming with LMB and RMB to fire.

    Updated for Vista compatibilty. Please report any further bugs or issues...
    ]]>     09 Feb 2007 09:11:13     Pocket Tanks Pocket Tanks is a very popular 1-2 player computer game, created by Blitwise Productions (the same creator of Super DX-Ball). Adapted from Michael Welch's earlier Amiga game Scorched Tanks, this newer version features better physics, dozens of weapons ranging from simple explosive shells to homing missiles, and the ability to move your tank. Pocket Tanks is available in 2 versions: the free demo version, and the full version. The free demo features some of the weapons and terrains while the full version comes with everything, and it supports expansion packs. At the moment, you can have up to 165 different weapons total.

    One of the most appealing factors of Pocket Tanks, aside from its relative simplicity, is the wide variety of weapons at the player's disposal. Although there are some weapons that simply explode, many of them have more specialization that can add a surprising amount of depth and strategy to the game. These weapon types include: digging warheads, such as the "Worm" and "Hot Foot," which can tunnel underground in a number of different patterns; "splash damage" weapons, such as the "Napalm" and "Hail Storm", which release some substance that accumulates points the more contact it has with the other player; scatter weapons, like the "Fission Bomb" and "Pineapple", that release many smaller missiles in all directions; and "direct hit" weapons, like the "Cannonball" and "Sniper Rifle", that aren't explosive, but are worth a good deal of points for direct hits. There are also defensive weapons; weapons like the "Great Wall" and "Magic Forest" will create thick walls that require the other player to use up a shot to destroy, and dirt weapons, like the "Mud Pie" and "Dirt Ball" that bury opponents and can cause them to damage themselves with their own attack. Another interesting group is the "random location" type of weapon. The members of this group, such as "Mass Driver" and "Golden Bullet" land in random locations, and may harm the intended target, the player who fired the weapon, both, or neither.
    ]]>     09 Feb 2007 02:06:32     Brutal Brutal is a new breed of multiplayer fighting game that blends elements from popular fighting games like Mortal Kombat and Soul Calibur with those of a typical first person shooter like Half-Life 2 or the Quake series.

    Unlike most fighting games that only allow 1 on 1 combat with a shared camera forcing you to attack your opponent on a single 2-dimensional plane, Brutal allows players to experience combat in full 3-dimensional glory. No more shared camera, no more miniscule arenas! Brutal lets you go where you want to and fight anywhere on the battleground! Fight on rooftops, inside buildings, on the streets or even on mountaintops, there's no limit to where you can roam! And with your own individual camera, you have complete and independent control of everything you see. With 12 unique fighters each with their own skills, fighting styles and special weapon, your experience will change every time you play.

    Tired of using the same weapon every time you fight? Brutal's destructible environments mean that virtually anything in the battleground can be turned into a weapon! Cars, lampposts, trees, rocks, broken rubble and even other fighters can all be used to stomp your opponents into oblivion! Brutal is unlike any fighting game on the market and it will be BRUTAL!
    ]]>     10 Feb 2007 01:35:58     Dyadin Within the depths of space and time, two planets converge upon one another unexpectedly, throwing the laws of physics into chaotic motion. As the planets slip faster and faster towards one another, a violent phenomenon takes place.

As they become more familiar with their surroundings, they find they have the power to affect their environment based on their proximity and color.
