About egoboo

2012-02-25T16:56:00.000-03:00

Egoboo is a really cool dungeon crawling game, nice music and nice visuals, the only BIG turn down is the keyboard control, it seems broken for 64bits, the part were the keyboard is translated to axis fails, and you can only go down and right, SO you gotta use a mouse or change the mousepad scroll speed (wrote a little script to do that when the program starts, and back to normal speed when it stops).

Game Features (from website)
-Over 40 uniquely hand-crafted mystical dungeons
-Choose between 8 different classes like the Wizard, Elf or Rogue
-Play with up to four players using hotseat!
-Awesome 3D graphics with cute and funny character models
-Support for Windows, Linux and Macintosh.

Ok so let's see... i have been playing Warzone 2100 for some years now and totally love it, it has really good graphics, very fluid game style and a pretty good ambientation, it runs fairly awesome on netbooks and old PC, it runs a little bit choppy when there is too units but again, it's almost nothing so let's rate it:

About Spiral Knights.

2011-10-19T04:12:00.002-03:00

Spiral knights is a pretty INTERESTING multiplatform (="JAVA" so... mac, Linux and windows compatible) adventure/mmorpg, liked the game-play and the controls (mouse or keyboard or both or custom) and the ambientation is really great, it runs fairly well (slow on some parts where there is too much effects (LOW graphics + fullscreen@1024x600), but if you don't mind losing 224px to get more performance LOW graphics + fullscreen@800X600 runs awesome.

About Gunroar

2011-10-18T00:30:00.001-03:00

Gunroar is a fast-paced shooter game created by... no wait, GUNROAR IS A FUCKING AWESOME SHOOTER GAME CREATED BY KENTA CHO AND PORTED TO LINUX BY EVIL MR HENRY. Cool gameplay and easy learning curve (JUST DESTROY EVERYTHING) makes it good for the casual and the experienced gamer. It has glitches (at least on my build) but it is 100% playable.

About Dead Cyborg Episode 1

2011-10-17T03:15:00.000-03:00

Dead Cyborg REALLY impressed me, it is a 3d first person sci-fi adventure game made by ONE MAN using Blender with awesome graphics and a deep story. It video-lags a little on some parts (due to good graphics) but it is almost nothing. A good "different" (in a good way) game, a little bit slow some times (you gotta THINK to advance) but really entertaining.

Well first game i will talk about will be OpenTTD, it is a pretty good and addictive transport simulation game, easy learning curve and with a good AI it is a really good challenge.
Runs smoothly and has 0 glitches (except for some player-made maps).
