Game Title: Galactic Vice

My Rating: 10.0


General storyline:

Galactic Vice is a futuristic 3D RTS game featuring two races at war. Vital mistakes made by a corrupt human empire lead to a catastrophic war against an alien race, one in which humanity is pushed to the brink of extinction.

Galactic Vice is under heavy development, and is in the pre-beta stage. I have posted here in hope to get some support. We are looking for 2D artists, 3D artists, Concept Artists, Environment Artists, and Web Designers.

The forums also need management, and there are some kickass admins here

Here is a screenshot of a explosion/terrain test:

Game Title: metal Fatigue

My Rating:


Review:

Giant re-configurable robots (called Combots), simultaneous action on three playing fields (surface, underground and orbit) in a full 3D world. Players are able to choose from thousands of Combat part combinations to assemble an army of these towering, weapons-laden units and take them into real-time battles.

Inspired by classic Japanese anime themes of loyalty and betrayal, bravery and cowardice, and the hierarchical pressure to choose between serving the needs of the individual, family or state, Metal Fatigue unfolds a new generation of real-time 3D strategy game where fantasy and realism meet on the computer stage.


Metal Fatigue does not exist in shops anymore although it could be bought on EbaY or Amazon.com for a price...

Final Say - [p]very good game, doesnt work on XP very well. demo can be found here... http://www.strategyplanet.com/metalfatigue/[/p]

Game Title: The Spring Project

My Rating: 8/10


Review:

Spring is a project aiming to create a new and versatile RTS Engine. It features:

* Large battles limited only by the power of your computer; support for up to 5000 units.
* Large, highly detailed maps in which to wage those battles, fully 3D with deformable terrain, forest fires, dynamic and reflective water, and custom skyboxes.
* Several camera modes, allowing for anything to be viewed from almost any angle.
* Fully 3D combat in land, sea, and air, with realistic weapon trajectories (physics engine).
* Many different Games, made just for Spring.
* Complex 3rd party AIs (Bots) that can work very competently in many cases with multiple Spring engine games and mods.
* A powerful GUI designed to minimize unnecessary micromanagement that is easily extensible via a Lua API.
* Frequent engine additions and bugfixes.

Final Say - [p]This game is great, it has diffrent mods (more coming out) and can be extended as far as you can go (based on your computer). this is based on the old game TA by Cavedog and has been remade with some new units and much better graphics.

I've been playing this game this weekend and beat it earlier today. It's easily the best game I've played this year. It has incredibly fun, and ridiculously scary gameplay. near the end of the game, the story hits hard and you begin to genuinely care about the main character

I would recommend people to atleast rent give this game a rental if it looks the least bit interesting.

Here are some screenshots I took. Some minor spoilers. Pretty much nothing to due with the story, just setting.

Game Title:
Orange Box
My Rating:
10/10 - 5 Great Games, One Box. Hot damn..

Review:

There's never been a package on a console like The Orange Box. For $60 you get five games: Half-Life 2, HL2: Episode One, HL2: Episode Two, Portal, and Team Fortress 2. If you're keeping score, that's one of the best shooters of all time, its two expansion packs, a new and innovative puzzle game, and an off-the-wall multiplayer game. That's in one box, on one disc. If there's one must buy game of the year, it is, without a doubt, The Orange Box. All five components are excellent, with Half-Life 2 and Episode Two being the two finest single-player first-person shooters on Xbox 360.

Accessing the five games is easy, thanks to a simple, but elegant menu system. You can hop into any of the Half-Life components without having beaten the prior versions. So, if you've played Half-Life 2 before, you can skip it (though you really should play it again), and go right into the episodic content. Also included for every game (save HL2) is director commentary which offers an in-depth look at level and map design as well as story elements for the Half-Life universe. It's about as slick a package as you will find on a console. The only failure is the horrendous box art, which I'm pretty certain was designed by a select group of mildy-talented fifth graders.

Because The Orange Box contains so many pieces, Microsoft made several exceptions to its normal rules regarding Achievements. While there are still only 1000 Gamerpoints to be earned, there are 99 Achievements to unlock (as opposed to the normal limit of 50). You can also access unique Achievement lists inside each title that are game-specific. There are some well-planned Achievements to be had. Add some spice to replaying Half-Life 2 by trying to earn every Achievement. It's quite a challenge.
