A review on 9Dragons an mmorpg based on martial arts which just entered open beta and is free to download, free to play. This was developed by Acclaim and has U.S. and European servers.
It’s going to get really interesting in the multiplayer pc gaming world when Unreal Tournament 3 and Crysis are competing with each other. Video card manufacturers are loving it I’m sure since these games will demand a lot of power. They’ll look great on the screen though.
Eternal Silence is a futuristic first person shooter, consisting of both ground combat and aerial combat. Eternal Silence offers you the chance to become a captain of your own ship, you give the commands that could make or break your team’s battle. You could also become a pilot engaging in some hardcore dogfights. Paul said “I was very impressed by the level of creativity and imagination that was used during creation!”
Eternal Silence recently celebrated receiving the “Best Multiplayer FPS Half-Life 2 Mod” by The 2007 Independent Games Festival, www.igf.com. The game will be available for multi-player online gaming only, so you can count on some fierce and intense multi player Sci-Fi game play.
This mod for Half-Life 2 looks very well done, and has a good community following. Worth checking out if you are in the search for a new game to play.
Gamecron alerted me to the fact that 9Dragons, a free mmorpg, has entered open beta. There was a lot of controversy over the new PvP system, but it has since been changed back to the old system (all in 24 hours). This is one of Acclaim’s first big pc game titles in a while, and with the way they are truly listening to the community, I hope it does well. The Gamecron story comes with a few screenshots also.
I’ll have to say that learning how to program and design for computer games is a lot tougher than it sounds. I dabbled in it a few years ago with OpenGL programming, but didn’t manage to do more than the simple stuff. While these college courses probably attempt to teach you all of that and more, creating pc games is getting easier and easier through tools. It’s much easier to make mods to existing games, and they even have tools now to create entire role-playing games. I’m guessing that soon tools will be released so that the “average” geek could create his own game experience and release it to the public, basically becoming the game masters of the D&D days.

We all now know that the Unreal Tournament 2007 game was renamed to Unreal Tournament 3, but here’s the brand new trailer showing it off. The guns look as good as ever, but the enemies look even more detailed than in the past. After today’s events it is also rumored that the game will release this Christmas.
Christmas? What have they been doing for all of this time. There will be (and have been) several great games that have come out using the Unreal 3 engine and Unreal can’t even get their own game out.
