AirRivals- 3D MMOG SciFi-Flugsimulation

2009-07-13T16:26:00.000-07:00

This is a very good free-to-play game with good graphics and a nice online gameplay. The story ist very interesting and I like the anime style a lot. You can download this game for free through a client direct on the official Website. This game reminds me of Starfox 64 (TM). There is a big online community and your are able to make teams with other online players. After testing the game a longer time I can recommend it. Have fun

2009-05-29T12:48:00.001-07:00

Flightgear is a very realistic flightsimulator.
To be honest i tried a very long time to take off with a Jumbo Jet, so I recommend to start with a small plane like Cessna or something.

Its for simulator fans....

Warzone 2100

2009-05-05T09:52:00.000-07:00

*In the late 21st century, the world's civilizations are wiped out by a series of nuclear strikes. While most of the survivors form scavenger bands to survive, one group of people, who refer to themselves as "The Project," seeks to rebuild civilization using pre-war technology.

The game begins with the Commander, the protagonist, sending teams to gather technology in Arizona that would help with reconstruction. While gathering said "artifacts," the Project fends off attacks from an organization called the New Paradigm, which is under the command of an organization called Nexus, which is actually one man responsible for the nuclear war. In the final campaign, the Project launches a full-scale assault on Nexus, destroying it and thus removing all significant, organized barriers to its reconstruction of the Earth.

The game is fully 3D, mapped by a grid; vehicles tilt to meet hilly terrain, and projectiles can be realistically blocked by steep mountains. The camera is free-moving and can zoom in and out, rotate, and pan up or down while navigating the battlefield.

In the game, units of different factions are painted different colors. The New Paradigm and Nexus are the enemies of the Project in the campaign, and they can be seen attacking Project forces as well as Scavengers; survivors of the nuclear fallout.

Units can all be customized according to: chassis (which, for example, takes weight and power into account); drive system (such as wheels or tracks); and mounted object (such as a weapon, or one of various support tools). Units can level up from ranks such as Rookie to Trained and Professional.

Warzone 2100 places an emphasis on sensors and radar to detect units and to coordinate ground attacks. Counter-battery sensors detect enemy artillery by sensing their projectiles and firing arcs and pinpointing their location to coordinate artillery strikes against enemy artillery. VTOL sensors work like basic sensors, only they coordinate VTOL attacks. VTOL counter-battery sensors coordinate VTOLs to find and destroy enemy batteries.

There is an emphasis on artillery: although many direct- and close-combat weapons and anti-air weapons can be researched and deployed, artillery is a staple of assault on enemy bases and outposts.While the technology tree is clearly defined and consistent, it never appears in-game and, therefore, the player can be left guessing as to what technology is next in the tree. Technology can be acquired by gathering artifacts left behind by certain destroyed enemy structures or units. Researching is composed of largely small and incremental advancements over existing weapons, armor, and chassis types.

Every level, excluding the first and last, has a time limit. This gives a sense of urgency and keeps players from waiting very long to gather more resources for unit construction. However, in Away missions, the player must select a limited group of units to transport to a territory completely away from the original base.

All of the terrain throughout the campaign is essentially composed of three areas, with different sectors for Away missions and other such levels; upon progression, previous maps simply expand and the player's original bases from past levels are maintained. Also, its resource system is quite different from mainstream RTS games; Oil Derricks are established over specific, scarce locations which constantly provide a slow, fixed rate of income.

Spring

2009-04-23T10:26:00.000-07:00

This is my absolut favourit free open source game! I play it
in clan. I think for me its one of the best game on this blog list
and It is one of the best strategy games I know!

Because of Spring I save a lot of money, I dont need to
buy all this commercial strategy games and copys of copys.
Spring offers everything a strategy gamer wants....

This game is similiar to Supreme Commander (TM).
Spring has a good netcode for fast games.

There are a lot of units. I mean I have never seen so much differents units
and options in a game ever. And there are a lot of mods, who changes
the game total if you want. The maximum limit of units is 5000!

There are no good sounds and the grafics are not new, but if you
like strategy games, this is the best game for you.

I recommend the BalancedAnnihilation Mod or ChickenDefense Mod and to spectate a game first too learn the basics.
