Allegiance!

www.freeallegiance.org

When I don't scheme for ascension, I fly in the most awesome space game ever with my friends and rivals. If you ever liked game like Wing Commander (or Elite, for us old timers), you need to check it out.

Published by Microsoft in 2000 they gave up the source code, and us fans run and develop it as a free game. There still hasn't been anything like it.

Yeah I played a bit of Alliegance back in the day. It was pretty cool. There definitely hasnt been anything like it, since, but I found that Battlefield2 was similar and superior in a lot of ways. In particular, if you had a poor commander at the helm it was just bad, instead of totally crippling, as in Alliegance.

How long ago? You should come back and check the new Community Core.

The absolute need for teamplay is one of the key elements for me. No matter how heroic a pilot you are, you need others to work with you.

A fine family game we've discovered is "Bookworm".

http://www.popcap.com/games/bookworm...FQxsGgodEB01ew

It's a combination of scrabble, mythology and rock 'em sock 'em. Free trail at Popcap games. Strangely addicting.

Alright, this is my absolutely favorite game in the world and I am sad there may not be a future one, but I think many Dom3 players would love it.

Populous 3: The Beginning

It's actually available for download: http://www.populousrevolution.strate...ads/games.html
-I own the game so I am not sure what all the download entails. The company that created the game was Bullfrog Productions. They split apart some time ago and so the game went out of production. I would think it would be possible to download without a problem.

Here is some more information about the game:

I recently borrowed Fallout 3 from my housemate - it's addictive but a bit disappointing unfortunately. It lacks the humour of the previous versions, and I find most of my time is spent micromanaging equipment, tediously looking for loot to constantly sell or use to repair items. My housemate tells me this is true of all RPGs, I don't normally play them so can't comment really, but it is infuriating how much time is actually spent on interesting gameplay. Also, despite supposedly being designed so that you can play it any number of ways (combatty, stealthy, charismatic, etc), it seems fairly limited in that it mostly ends up all about combat.

Are there any good rpg's out there that aren't all about the looting?
