More free games!
posted on January 28, 2006 by: TomKane
I've found a few more games available for download. Kind of a long list. Hope it helps make up for the lack of work I've been doing lately.WurmOnline - Java based, stand alone. Now saying "java based" probably turned a lot of you off (it sure did me). But this game is incredible. Really, the graphics are amazing and there is a lot to it aside from "kill and level". There's also mining, wood cutting, building your own farm/house. Really quite impressive game. Check it out. Beta.
Rakion - Medieval death-match type game. Also has team death-match, "golem" matches, and stages for co-op. Action oriented. Only problem is a lot of rooms are plagued by lag. The game is free, kind of. Once you get to level 15 you can't spend any of your improvement points unless you pay for the game. But you can still buy better armor and whatnot. So after level 15 try to play with other free players.
Turf Battles - Slick MMORPG. Kind of laggy, but otherwise decent.
WarRock - Military FPS with vehicles that needs some serious work. Has problem with lag and hackers. Arcade, not realistic. Beta.
Digital Paintball 2 - Paintball FPS.
Starseige: Tribes - Anyone who's been gaming for awhile has probably heard of Tribes. The original Tribes as well as Tribes 2 have been released for free. The problem with Tribes 2 is they ran out of CD keys for all the free players, rendering the fact that it's free to download useless. This link is for the original that does not require a CD key.
Nexuiz - Death-match FPS. Laggy as hell. Not a lot of people are playing.
Alien Arena - Death-match FPS.
Purge Jihad - FPS/RPG. Free... kind of. If you don't register (pay) for the game, you can only play as 4 of the 8 classes. Another problem: nobody plays. So get your friends gathered if you want to start up a game of this.
All of these games and more can be found in our free online gamelist.

I've found what I would call one of the best free MMORPG's you can find. This game has a large banner right on the main site declaring "Free to play forever" and I don't know why considering it's got gorgeous graphics, fun game-play, and a very original skill system.

Xbox 360 has launched
posted on November 26, 2005 by: TomKane
Well, the Xbox 360 has launched. What do I think? *yawn* I think I'll be more interested once The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion comes out in a couple of weeks. For now the launch titles are pretty weak. But sales for the Xbox 360 have gone great, with most retailers not having enough supplies for the demand. The most exciting game at launch to me has to be Perfect Dark: Zero. But it isn't enough for me to throw down $450 for game and console. And if you do get an Xbox 360, for God sakes do NOT purchase the $300 "core" package. It doesn't have a hard drive. Memory cards are $35 and to get the hard drive alone costs $100. HMMM! Do yourself a favor and get the $400 deal, or you'll kick yourself hard down the road. Me? I'm waiting to see the PS3's launch lineup. Whichever console has the best games gets my money.New poll about the Xbox 360 in the game section.
New review and classic review
posted on November 16, 2005 by: TomKane
I've added a couple of reviews today. One is by Draemus for Battlertoads in Battlemaniacs for the SNES (yet another port from TK Emulation) and another I wrote just moments ago for Tony Hawk's American Wasteland. Check them out in the Game Review Index here. Just an update on the Classic Games

For those of you who want to read classic game reviews, here's how you can! Every classic game review ends with the system it's for (eg: "Crystalis for NES"). So head to the Game Review Index and look for the games that have been added. They're mixed in and we still haven't decided if we're going to change that or how we would change that. But we have moved 6 games (so far) from the old TK Emulation site over, so please give the reviews a read and (as always) provide us with some feedback on the Forums. Thanks!Sponsered Links
