Starcraft - One of the best RTS ever

A real time strategy player that doesn't played Starcraft can't be called a player.
With more than 50 awards during the last 7-8 years Blizzard is capable to say that it owns one of the best strategy game ever. If you search the internet you can even read a GameSpot PC article named "Computer Gaming World awards" dated February 23, 1999! Blilzzard won "Strategy Game of the Year" and "Add-On Product of the Year" with Starcraft.

Starcraft story
In the distant future a small group of human exiles have been doomed to fight for survival on the edge of the galaxy. Through military strength, espionage and deceit, a unified Terran government has maintained an uneasy peace. As resources run short, however, these Confederate nations find themselves looking towards the rich worlds of their alien neighbors, the enigmatic Protoss. To further complicate matters, it seems that a previously unknown and deadly species known only as the Zerg has entered Protoss space and is destroying everything in its path. The time for war has come...
As the military leader for your species, you must gather the resources you need to train and expand your forces and lead them to victory. 30 unique missions will challenge you across three different campaigns as you control the fate of the galaxy.

Seeing all those new strategy games, most of them without a good story behind but a lot of graphics detailes that suck all your system resources for nothing, I joined this days the Starcraft Battlefield. What I have seen made me write this blog and made me say: Starcraft, ladies and gentlemen, was, is and will be one of the top 3 strategy games ever and Blizard is #1 in building strategy games.

MMORPGs - living online creatures!

A massive(ly) multiplayer online role-playing game or MMORPG is a multiplayer computer role-playing game that enables thousands of players to play in an evolving virtual world at the same time over the Internet. MMORPGs are a specific type of massive(ly) multiplayer online game (MMOG).
You can play them using a console but there are many games that can be played using only a browser and an internet connection. Yes sir! I'm talking about browser based games and guess what! Most of them are free :).
During the last 2 years I can say that browser based games took a big part of my life. I play one game called Kings Of Chaos and I builded 2 browser based games (but this is another story, another blog).
Kings of Chaos, for example, does not make any graphic impresion. Ten, maybe fifteen .jpgs and .gifs and a lot of text. What make him important and world wide known are the players! Being so addictive KoC succeded to host in 2 and a half years more than 100.000 active players and perhaps another ~50.000 curious users. Players are joining alliances. Alliances are building forums, websites, IRC Networks and recruiters to comunicate. IRC chat channels, MSN chats and YM conferences are invided every day by KoC players just to talk about the latest changes, to attack or to sabb other alliance, to join under someone's command or to create great conspirations.
There is no joke in saying that KingsOfChaos it's a living creature that eats a lot of time to be played.Take a look! It wouldn't bite but for sure will steal a little bit of you online leisure ;).

Here is a list of some browser based games that for some reason I think they deserve to be played:
UTOPIA - one of the top MMORPGs,
Darkthone - a new and popular MMORPG,
Darkgalaxy - an online multiplayer space strategy game
Conquista Morella - Es su turno ... majestad - spanish language; my MMORPG

Until next time ... good luck and have fun!

IndyCar Series

I played few days ago "IndyCar Series" an "old" PC Game. One friend of mine buyed some cheap CDs. Takeing a look I saw this game and for 1 full hour I remembered the feeling ;). The truth is that after few years of 3D-Shooters is a little bit hard to return to Indy but indeed was a nice surprise!



If you didn't played the IndyCar Series you can download a free demo following the Codemasters' page. Demo includes one track(Texas Motor Speedway) and two cars (Red Bull Cheever Racing or Pennzoil Panther Racing) and speeds faster than 200 mph. Of course you can buy it online or off-line at no more than 5Euro or 8$
Download IndyCar Series playable demo (145mb).

Perhaps you didn't know much about IndyCar Series but you played for sure one of Codemasters' raceing car game: Colin McRae Rally aslo available for download here. This one here costs somewhere around 20$ but is much-much better ;).
