Default Re: OT-Some New games

I ran across a new Online game today; the premise looks interesting, particularly to those of you who like role-playing their empires. There doesn't seem to be much in the way of micromanaging - no detailed ship building, no detailed combat, etc. It's been billed as a sci-fi Version of Diplomacy... anyway, go check it out if you want; the main page doesn't give a lot of detail, but the message Boards have some good info along with the link to the help (rules) page:

main page for Ultimate Galaxy Online game

Help/rules page for Ultimate Galaxy

Oh, for those who like to know these things up front, the pricing structure is US$4.95 for the first month & US$9.95 each month after that.

Some days ago, surfin' on the Net, I came to a site of an Online rpg and science fiction game called "Faction Earth".
I read carefully the background storygame: it's huge and I easily say it's one of the best and interesting I've ever seen.
"Faction Earth" is a truly great game that mixes "The Matrix", "Blade Runner" and "X-Files" all in one......and it's amazing how the development team are really dedicated to the community! (like our beloved guys of MM and Shrapnel)
You don't need to buy any software: the download is free, the game runs through a client and it costs 1.99 U.S. $ for the 1st month and then 3.99 $ every month.
Now it's a few days I play "Faction Earth" but I must admit it's an amazing game and I'm completely addicted: before, only "SEIV Gold" has addicted me as "FE".
Do you a favor and go to visit the game site:

Whatever MM is working on next...
but other than that, I want SimCity 4. The Sims Online sounds neat, but I have never paid for Online games, and I really do not care to. I may at some time (when I have a job maybe!)

Some news for you "game addicted".
X-Mas is coming so I have some suggestions.....today let's talk about 2 great games: "A.R.S.E.N.A.L. Extended Power" and "Simgangster Street Edition".
I've played wargames for 20 years and I can assure you that ARSENAL Extended Power is one of the best.
ARSENAL is a classic RTS game but it's different from others....think that I'm not a RTS fan (I'm tired of Command and Conquer clones) but I've been completely hooked by this little game gem.
The A.I. is truely impressive: on the advanced stages is a real nightmare.
Every few days you can download a bunch of add-ons so the game will surprise you everytime you'll play it.
ARSENAL is really a G R E A T game: it worths every single buck! Two thumbs up, way up. Here's the site for ARSENAL: http://www.tacticalsoft.com/
"Simgangster" is a pretty simulation of crime life: you are a criminal and you have to survive in a U.S. city.
There are different cities (with different settings) so the game will hook you everytime.
Pretty graphics and cool gameplay makes "Simgangster" a winner, give it a try at http://www.simgangster.com !

Did not read the entire thread, so EEEXCUUUSEE MEEEE if I am repeating, but has anyone seen Hegemonia from the makers of Imperium Galactica? It looks so cool to me that I went out and got it. I will install and play this weekend and post here my thoughts. Here -->is the link.
