C-evo is a freeware empire building game for Windows.
With a time scope of several thousand years, it covers aspects of exploration and expansion, industry and agriculture, warfare and diplomacy, science and administration. C-evo follows the spirit of popular turn-based strategy games from the mid 90s, but with more emphasis on powerful AI and careful design of the rules, resulting in a true challenge.

The game is based on Microprose's famous Sid Meier's Civilization and has many basic ideas in common with it. Actually, this project has arised from the wish to correct annoying design mistakes and AI weaknesses of Civ II. The priorities of the C-evo project are considerably different from big commercial games. While those are focused on easy entertainment and mainly compete for the most realistic and exciting up-to-date multimedia, this one aims at ageless challenge. There are six design principles, see below.



Since a clever AI is essential for a strategy game, C-evo has an open AI interface implemented. So everyone who feels called to can code his personal AI engine and let it compete against others. Some alternative AIs are already available from the files section.

Giana’s Return aims to be a worthy UNOFFICIAL sequel of “The Great Giana Sisters”. There is an official sequel for Nintendo DS named “Giana Sisters DS” ( http://www.giana-sisters.com/ ) and also has slightly more levels than Giana’s Return. In other words, it’s worth the money

It’s very important, that you don’t mix up both projects – Giana’s Return is UNOFFICIAL and FREE – Giana Sisters DS is OFFICIAL and COMMERCIAL.

“The Great Giana Sisters” is an alltime classic made in the late eighties mainly by Armin Gessert, Manfred Trenz and Chris Hülsbeck. The game gained impressive attention but has been damned as Super Mario copy. More information can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Giana_Sisters

Runes of Magic

Strap thine armor and sharpen thy sword! Embark on a journey of discovery and peril in this recently opened MMORPG, Runes of Magic. The medieval lands of Taborea await thee!


Runes of Magic has an in-depth lore that takes you back to the time of Taborea's creation. It all started when Ayvenas created a book in the shape of the world and recorded the origin of life. This was known to be Taborea. Taborea and the inhabitants underwent many different changes, good and bad, as millennia passed by. Each chapter of the book was called an "Age," and further subdivided into Epochs. The inhabitants fell and rose time and again because of their advancements, failures and sins. This is until we reach Taborea's epoch of discovery, the game's setting and timeline. This is an era filled with uncharted lands, monsters, and numerous discoveries waiting to be revealed. And that's where your journey begins.





Runes of Magic has top-notch visuals. Maps are highly detailed, from the wee little grasslands to enormous stone and marble cities. Day and night effects are amazingly portrayed, having beautiful skies from dusk 'til dawn. Every area is eye candy. The sparkle of crystals and water, the lush greens of Taborea's flora, and every single area in the game is worth exploring and discovering. Taborea's audio nuances give justice to every environment you explore. Calm and fierce tones blend together in harmony with the world you are in. There are times when the music is inappropriate for battle, however, especially when traversing the green, peaceful lands (usually having the calmer tones). You might also experience deafening silence in-game, since some or most of the BGMs don't loop automatically after playing.


You may encounter NPCs and monsters of the same models along the way. Repaints, resized and renamed monsters from other maps may be derived from the monsters of the lower-level maps. There are elite and boss monsters having unique appearances, thankfully. And other quest-giving NPCs have their own model, distinguishing them from the other town locals.





Map areas are huge and transition from one area to the next is definitely seamless. There's a lot to explore in the Runes of Magic world. The monsters are also evenly spread out through each area. There are numerous instanced dungeons to explore as well. However, the game usually forces you to party with others whenever entering a dungeon. There's often little to no chance going solo in a dungeon at all, especially when no one would really want to group with you for a quest or for the heck of it.



Character customization is limited, with only around 20 face types and hairstyles to choose from. Body colors can be changed, like hair and skin. Face archetypes include an androgynous male, which is somehow disturbing or enticing (depending on your tastes), and feels out of place in a medieval world. Your looks can be complemented by fashion styles of the armor or clothing that you wear around.


Runes of...Warcraft?!

Three words sum up most of the game's features and systems: World of Warcraft. The interface, windows (character, inventory, bank, trade, quest), and the tradeskills have strong influences from World of Warcraft. Most of the common interfaces and systems shall be skipped for the purposes of shedding light into the game's more important aspects.





Tradeskills, though reminiscent of World of Warcraft, do not severely limit the character's capacity to learn. If World of Warcraft allows for only two main professions to learn (and access to all secondary ones), Runes of Magic enables you to learn all of them, but enough comparing! Runes of Magic partly gives justice to the motto "Jack of all trades, master of none." Your character can learn every single tradeskill in the game, but you can only increase one tradeskill until master level. Other skills can be developed until one or two tiers below master level. Specific skills, such as forging a certain weapon or armor, can be bought and learned in the specific tradeskill NPC masters. This limitation in tradeskill development allows great leeway for players to think about what skill they should master in due time.



Character development is fairly easy to manage. Stats distribution is automated and dependent on the classes you chose. Skills are learned and mastered by spending varied amount of skill points depending on the current level of the skill. The learning cost changes as the skill goes up. An extensive tutorial and help interface helps the new player adjust to the game. Quests are plentiful, ranging from mundane pickup tasks to heroic dungeon crawling adventures. Though most of the quests involve killing monsters, these tasks are often connected to the game's lore and provide generous rewards. PvP lovers can opt to create and develop their characters in the PvP servers, or engage in an optional duel in the PvE servers. An activateable PK option is also present, providing bonuses and penalties for those participating in PK/PvP.


Despite the close resemblances with World of Warcraft, Runes of Magic proves to be an amazing game. Its deep lore and quest-filled journeys provide hundreds of hours of gameplay. Great graphics and sounds appropriately complement the gameplay. Runes of Magic is free to play with an item mall option. The developers' team and the community stay solid even after CBT, a sign of a stable foundation for the game. Runes of Magic is one of the must-play MMOs today. This game is sure to be a top contender in the MMO world, catering to both serious and casual gamers alike.

Blitz 1941


Blitz1941 is a MMO tank simulation game based on the German-Soviet conflict during World War II. Use one of over 60 different tanks, fight against other players and occupy the enemy’s cities. Up to 3000 players per server can engage in large-scale combat operations at the same time.

In Blitz1941, there are over 60 different kinds of tanks. These tanks were all used by the German and Russian armies during World War II. If you gain a victory against your opponents, then you will get Exp, Bonus, Contribution, and Money. As get it, you can promote a tank commander character (an avatar). And you can also gain a combat skill, and purchase stronger tanks to increase your ranking in your country. You can buy a reinforcing item for your tanks. Unlike usual P2P games, where a player creates a room and plays against another player, Blitz1941 allows you to enter and exit easily an international battlefield (composed of 15 cities in Europe) in real time and places you into tense combat against other players to occupy a city. The winner can occupy the city and get the advantage of an economy area and the supply of needed materials.

If you improve your own tank with reinforcing items, then your tank can be more effective in combat and have different characteristics from the other player’s tanks. Perhaps you need to operate your tank properly and shoot an enemy’s tanks accurately in one-to-one combat, but you should try to make strategies to cooperate with same team’s tank units in large-scale tank combat, where over 200 tanks are simultaneously used in combat operations.





Game Background

The game’s background is based on the combat areas of Eastern Europe, which was divided into 15 cities in 1941, during the German-Soviet war: Prague (Czechoslovakia), Vienna (Austria), Budapest (Hungary), Sofia (Hungary), Odessa (Ukraine), Sevastopol (Ukraine), Warsaw (Poland), Gdansk (Poland), Riga (Latvia), Minsk (Belarus), Kiev (Russia), Stalingrad (Russia), Kursk (Russia). Not involved are Berlin (Germany) und Moscow (Russia), the capitals of both countries.

The cities are identified as either a metropolitan city, a small city, a munitions city, or a commercial city, according to characteristics of it. The structure, size, and feature of the levels of each characteristic are expressed differently. Roads connecting the cities will be configured to enable combat on the roads. Since 3D graphics can illustrate tactical movements, tank firing, and the geography of the area, players can play many different games according to geographical features.

The different levels of Blitz 1941 show different geographical features and architectural styles for each city and country. All the cultural elements and unique architecture of the cities are meticulously represented in the game to recreate Europe during World War II. Blitz 1941 illustrates hilly land, hillocks, low-lying areas, rivers, and artificial structures (e.g. bridges). The background has been beautifully recreated through real terrain processing so players can use the land tactically in combat.

Guts: use them or lose them in Dungeons & Dragons Online®: Eberron Unlimited™. Get a good grip on your sword and get ready to swing—if you think your heart can take it. So bring your slay game, but leave your wallet at home, ‘cause this game is totally free.

Yeah, that’s the sound of rotting bones crunching under your feet. And that’s a flesh-shredding blade trap, and past that is a mind-blowing puzzle that you have to solve if you want go deeper. But right over there is a big, bad ogre looking to smash you down with a tree-sized club and stomp your brains out through your ears—just for kicks.

You’re in charge of all the action here. When a gang of now-you-see-me, now-you-don’t, now-you-have-your-soul-sucked-out undead creeps come after you, this fight isn’t going to operate on remote control. Block, swing, throw, trip, cast, dodge, tumble, and cleave, and if you can avoid being torn into human confetti by their clawed hands or having the life force sucked out of you to feed their unholy lust, then it’s time to show these freaks that undead is nowhere near as dead as they can get. Pick the best weapon in your arsenal and get in there.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTKFKmiFV9w[/youtube]

Deal out the hurt and feel every blow of battle with DDO’s unique action control system. Every move is your move, whether you smash a creep’s face monk-style with your bare fists, or split his skull like a rotten melon with your battleaxe. Dodge the poison arrows that come at you from all angles and get ready to get your questing on—or if all this action is too much for you, retreat to the caves to plan another attack. There’s always something glad to welcome you back to the dungeon, unless you welcome it first.


Danger is alive in the dark. These killer dungeons are bursting with ferocious monsters like fire-breathing dragons that like their heroes well-done. And if you get past that, then get ready for deadly traps, perplexing puzzles, and secret hatches and hidden doors that lead to even deadlier regions of darkness and danger.


Every monster’s crazy for a sharp-dressed man. So sharpen up, and choose from a myriad of options to develop one-of-a-kind characters by customizing everything from class roles and special abilities to the color of your eyes, the length of your hair, and the size of your nose. Whether you want to be a dwarf cleric who can bring the ruckus and heal his own wounds at the same time, or an icy blue-eyed ranger who keeps his hands clean by killing only from a distance, you bring to life the hero you want—and then send him into the meat grinder. Even under the gore, ichor, and boiling black blood of your foes, you’ll know you look good.


[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yl-YIubvGlc[/youtube]


Play and slay the way you want by battling solo or with hirelings or by joining a group, guild, or raid. Go toe-to-toe with a fellow DDOer in player-versus-player mode if you’ve got a personal score to settle and the skills to back it up. Or take the cage out of the cage match by starting an all-out brawl in one of the seedy, seething taverns of Stormreach.


There’s so much action in this game that we’re giving it away. Play for free as long as you want without a subscription, a credit card, or fees of any kind—EVER! Killing things and taking their stuff has never been more rewarding because while adventuring you can earn Turbine Points that are good for gearing up in our new DDO Store.


The gear is here. Get to the in-game DDO Store, and gear up with anything from healing potions for where it hurts, to massive cans of kick-ass to deal some hurt of your own. Cash in the Turbine Points you’ve earned while playing or buy them outright. Get the gear you’ve got to have to bring every creepy, crawly, and loathsome beast to its knees, tentacles, or trailing wisps of ectoplasm. Because you don’t want to go down in the dungeon without protection. CLICK HERE for DDO Store Sales & Promotions!


Getting scared of the dark? Emerge from the dank and dangerous dungeons between adventures. Stormreach is full of adventure and adventurers, the gathering place for thousands of DDO players from around the world any time of day or night. Soa
