Gamer's Hangout

I've been wondering who all is a gamer that comes to Lunarsoft. Let's find out!

"Wildfire Games, an international group of volunteer game developers, proudly announces the release of "0 A.D. Alpha 11 Kronos", the eleventh alpha version of 0 A.D., a free, open-source game of ancient warfare. This alpha features new Celtic factions, many improvements to the graphics, functional gates, a new sound system, improved AI and more!" - from the Wildfire Games web site. I've been trying out 0 A.D., very good-looking game. As it's an alpha, there are a few bugs and missing features, but it's very playable. It's a real-time strategy game along the lines of Age of Empires/Age of Kings, with beautiful 3-D graphics, built on its own unique game engine. Campaigns…

Aurora is a brand new Indie game brought to you by E. McNeill. Aurora is an abstract, essentialized, and simplified real-time strategy game. With just one unit to command you must make your moves intelligently, rather than through fast reflexes. Aurora features a slow, floating feel and gorgeous minimalistic graphics. The entire world pulses to the rhythm of ambient music, and the player's actions evoke sounds that smoothly coalesce into melody. This game is meant to provide a relaxing, cerebral experience. Every action has its reaction, and every option has its costs. Aurora is a game in which your choices matter. If you enjoyed games like Osmos then you'll also en…

If anyone has played this, what do you think about the game? Do you like the improvements over Left 4 Dead 1?

By now, you probably know how this works. The new Grand Theft Auto game comes out in October, but only on the PlayStation 2. Xbox and PC owners have to wait a half a year or so for their versions of the game, and each always has the potential to be better than the original release. That's saying something, because we're already talking about one of the best games of 2004 and the best game in the Grand Theft Auto series. Once again, the wait is over, and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is now available on the PC and Xbox. While both versions have aspects that are better than the outstanding PS2 game, visual weirdness on the Xbox and a handful of technical issues on the PC pr…

Hey Tarun, Was it just here in the US or did ya'll have have bunch of dummies waiting outside stores all night to buy the XBox 360?

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City for the PC needs no introduction. Not only is this game in many ways better than its amazing predecessor Grand Theft Auto III, but it's also technically superior to the original version of Vice City that was released on the PlayStation 2 a number of months ago. Like GTAIII for the PC, Vice City is identical to the original PS2 version in terms of content, so if you've already played that version to death, you won't find the PC version to be much different. However, the PC version of Vice City does offer enhanced visuals and controls, improved loading times, and a few extra frills. More importantly, it offers the same refreshingly open-ended gam…

Which Game Do You Play Most?

Recently version 2.5 of Nexuiz got released. Nexuiz is a free open-source FPS game developed by Alientrap. It is built using the DarkPlaces engine, a heavily modified Quake 1 engine, but you don't notice that, cuz its so pretty. Prettier than Quake 3, it has real-time lighting, shadows, bump mapping, bloom, HDR, etc so it kinda looks like the Source engine. Pretty fun in multi-player, there are lots of cool maps (and some not so cool). http://alientrap.org/nexuiz/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nexuiz https://thepiratebay.org/torrent/4821677/Nexuiz_2.5 Available for Windows, Mac and Linux. Free.

FlightGear is an flight simulator. It is not for the weak of heart. You cant just jump in, and fly through the sky, because its not a game, its a realistic flight simulator for flight enthusiast. You have to turn the breaks off, lift the wheels up, and maybe even speak to flight tower to get permission to take off. Most of the default aircraft are pretty boring civilian aircraft and passenger jets, but you can download other aircrafts such as the YF-23 from the site. * http://www.flightgear.org/ * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FlightGear

So who all here has it and has played it? If you've played Mercs 2, have you played Mercs 1?

Yo Frankie! is an free open source computer game by the Blender Institute, part of the Blender Foundation. It is based on the universe and characters of the open source film produced earlier in 2008 by the Blender Institute, Big Buck Bunny. Like the Blender Institute's previous open film projects, the game is made using free software. The models are made with Blender. In the game, players assume the role of Frank, the sugar glider who was the antagonist of the film Big Buck Bunny. In the film, Frank and two cronies are seen killing butterflies and terrorizing a bunny. The film ends with the bunny exacting revenge on Frank, tying him to string and flying him as a kite.…

Hey there people! Tarun said this was the best place to come to tell yall about this game I play... Its called Martial Law.

I just went out and rented Hitman - Blood Money. Its pretty awsome, i like it because its a mix between Splinter Cell series and Rainbow Six series. You can stealth the whole thing, or just go in with an M-16 and blaze away. I rented for Xbox and hooked it up to our nice hd tv (even tho the reg xbox version doesnt have hd quality), and graphics were really good, so im assuming the HD 360 version is even better. )corjello(

i got a wii, and its amazing. ive had it for like 4 days, and have been playing Zelda nonstop. Its awsome. Has anyone else thought about getting one? Its cheap compared to the other systems out right now. )corjello(
