…after the Jack Jump
…through the data hole
…past the Gate Keeper
…through the mind word pipe
…beyond the veil
…beyond the data fold
…inside your possible future

…lies a secret, wrapped in an enigma.

It sounds like the beginning of a over dramatised story.

On the other hand, Worldshift looks amazing – an MMO raid RTS with random-generated maps and single or small-coop play, this is a game I’ve been hoping for someone to make since the launch of WoW. It’s also visually stunning, which is less surprising when you learn that it’s from a Crytek satellite studio I’d forgotten about. Thanks for the heads-up, Tei and retroactively RPS, that’s going high on my budget next month. (It’s out in English, the official site just doesn’t care I guess.)

Man… That minimum spec is devastating. I’m a huge DoW nerd, been playing that game and its expansions since it first hit. But i’m not going to buy a new PC just to play that game. I already own 3, and the one of them i use for gaming is going to have to do for me. What happened to PC games that scale down? I know i’m probably not in the majority here, but i will HAPPILY play a DoW2 scaled down to look like bland textureless particle-less garbage as long as the gameplay stays intact. At least that should be an option for me. I would’ve hoped. Sigh.

RichPowers, thanks for the thought but I finally got a chance to check out BattleForge and ‘the word on the street’ is wrong. It’s PVP cards RTS – MtG meets Warcraft III – and random booster packs are their whole business model. Ech.

@ sartoies & xercies
There was one, Rites of War. Still have a copy somewhere around the house, was based on the Panzer General 2 engine I believe.

Interview at strategy informer, comment after the ~~cut~~ link: link About the items:

Second thing is, we didn’t feel like we rewarded you enough for playing our game, so we’re trying to reward the player a lot more for playing the game. You’ll notice that we constantly shower you with new kinds of weapons, new kinds of armour, new abilities, new traits and new unit types you unlock.

I always liked ‘jump’, personally.

Just put variations of the word “link” followed by the actual link to the story. Ex. linky, linkeroo, linktastic, linko, linkgasm, linkeroid, etc. The possiblilites are endless!

I second this.
A lot.
