Scorched 3D, Full game |
|
|
|
|
 There is a new version of the free game with tanks Scorched 3D.
Scorched 3D is a game based loosely (or actually quite heavily now) on the classic DOS game Scorched Earth - "The Mother Of All Games". Scorched 3D adds amongst other new features a 3D island environment and LAN and internet play. It is totally free and is available for both Microsoft Windows and Unix (Linux, Mac OS X, Solaris etc.) operating systems.
At its lowest level, Scorched 3D is just an artillery game with tanks taking turns to destroy opponents in an arena. Players can choose the angle, direction and power of each shot, launch their weapon, and try to blow up other tanks. That's basically it.
Players can pick up the game and begin playing very quickly. Then, when/if they are interested, they can poke in the dimmer recesses of the game and get into the strategy, whicj makes the game a lot more interesting.

Guild Wars: Nightfall, Video |
|
|
|
|
 A video from the RPG Guild Wars: Nightfall, made by ArenaNet and NC Soft is out.
Guild Wars takes the best elements of today's massively multiplayer online games and combines them with a new mission-based design that eliminates the tedium of those games. Players can meet new friends in towns or outposts, form a party, and then go tackle a quest together. Their party always has its own unique copy of the quest map, so camping, kill-stealing, and long lines to complete quests are all things of the past. Within a quest there is unprecedented freedom and power to manipulate the world around the characters: their magic can build bridges and open up new pathways, or it can burn down forests and tear the ground asunder. The features of the game are really wide.

Dark Messiah of Might & Magic, Launch trailer |
|
|
|
|
 A new video from the action/RPG Dark Messiah of Might & Magic from Ubisoft Entertainment, Arkane Studios and Kuju Entertainment was released.
Dark Messiah of Might & Magic puts players in a first-person perspective, allowing them to immerse themselves in the legendary Might and Magic universe as never before. It is also the world's first fantasy action game to feature a complete first-person combat system. In Dark Messiah of Might and Magic, players will be introduced to the world of Ashan, the new setting for all future Might & Magic games. Ashan is a dark and unforgiving world, scarred by a bloody history and threatened by an apocalyptic prophecy: the Dark Messiah. The players are able to use the environment to crush, chop up, set on fire or otherwise brutally kill their enemies. For example, if an opponent is standing in water, if the player casts a lightning bolt on the water, his enemy will realistically fry. The first-person point of view contributes a lot to the dark atmosphere, as the player takes witness of the actual brutality of a fantasy medieval world like never before. The game is rated “M”, for mature audiences only.
