Free PC Game - Pteroglider

Pteroglider is a 4-year-old game, but it didn't do well in stores, so the developers, Codeminion, are giving the game away. Codeminion is also offering a tech demo of their first game project, Spellscape, which was a dungeon crawling game in the style of Diablo or Darkstone.

I have not tried these games out, so I can't give you a review of either game, but they're free, so try them. If you're interested in keeping an eye on Codeminion to see when new free games are available, just keep checking the blog.

Mythos Overworld

Still in closed beta, Mythos is looks amazing, and I hope it will be more accessible once it's out of beta and becomes a full game. Looking at the new overworld screenshots, I'm sensing a rise in hype: http://www.massively.com/photos/the-mythos-overworld/830490/

I wish you all a great Summer,

Lost Realms: Morrowind clone?

I found another interesting game in development. It's titled The Lost Realms, but the filenames suggest a different name, Legends. Anyway, this isn't much of a game yet, and I haven't bothered to try it yet.

CroNous Update

I already posted about the free MMORPG called Cronous, but I had only played it a short time before posting about it, so I thought I'd tell you about my experiences with the game thus far.

After having a ton of issues with Runescape and MU Online, I resorted to playing Cronous. I wasn't looking forward to it, because the dialogue is very bad English, and I didn't really want to start anew with anything.

I enjoyed it for the first hour or so, and I posted about how it was better than MU. After a few more hours of leveling up and trying out both the Magician and Valkyrie character classes, I do not retract my previous statement. I do, however, retract a statement I made about MU. It is not like Darkstone. If anything, Cronous is closer to Darkstone than MU.

As I level up in Cronous, I continually save up items, and I eventually find some powerful stuff to help me survive in more dangerous areas, however, as time goes by, you are only truly fighting random monsters. Unlike Runescape, there is no alternative to the fighting mechanics. Want to own a house? Play Runescape. Want to train a crafting skill? Play Runescape. Want some awesome graphics and fast-paced gameplay? Play Cronous.

If you guys play Cronous and want a friend, my username (or rather my character name) is FJGamer. Hope to see you online! And good luck finding those rare items!

I Have Ego

I like to think people appreciate my blogs, but I haven't received much attention yet. I urge you to comment on my blogs and give me feedback. Do you like what I'm doing?

I'm downloading Egoboo to remind myself why I quit playing it so long ago. If it has improved a lot since last year, I may keep it this time. If you play Egoboo or happen to also have the PC version of Darkstone (not a free game), maybe we could connect and play one of them together.
