Since this is a holiday weekend I thought I would post some cool games that maybe someone would be interested in playing and first we have a game for Linux (But also available for OSX and Windows) Heroes of Newerth Heroes of Newerth is an action RPG game, based on the popular Warcraft III mod map named Defence of the Ancients (dota). It may be the only choice for linux dota lovers, but thankfully it is the best we could have. This game offers the best “dota” experience, using beautiful graphics and optical effects, atmospheric sounds and music, stable multiplayer with a lot of choices for the player and above all it is free to play (you can buy some extras with real money). This game is evolving with constant update packs every week, and is now already very mature and linux-supportive. It will only get better through this year…must-play. Read all about it at the Web Site Here is a video so you can get an idea of the game play.

The next game is for ios and it is Solomon’s Keep By Raptisoft. Description: Near the town of Dead Hawg, past the Grimwood, at the very PEAK of Mount Awful, there stands a crumbling tower of mortar and stone. Deep within this foul edifice, the blackest necromancer of modern times, Solomon Dark, sits on his horrible throne. As a near graduate of the Wizarding College, your final exam is to storm Solomon’s Keep. Dispatch the dark wizard, loot his evil possessions, unbind his horrific minions, and prove to your teachers once and for all that you’re not as stupid as you look. In Solomon’s Keep, you move your wizard with one thumb, and fire magic spells with the other. As you destroy enemies, you earn experience points. Gain enough experience, and you’ll gain a level, and can select new skills to help you ascend the tower. Along the way you’ll find gold and magic items. Your helpful teachers are there to explain the ins and outs of wizarding, sell you a few useful items, and even give you a few tips to improve your skills. Along the way you’ll encounter Solomon’s skeletons, zombies, imps, and more. You might even encounter an undead king, and Solomon’s meticulously reconstructed maggot vomiting skeletal dragon. Requirements: Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch and iPad.Requires iOS 3.1 or later. You’ll have a chance to master 21 skills and wield over 50 magic, rare, and epic weapons.
With random dungeons and monsters, Solomon’s Keep offers infinite replayability. It’s never the same game twice!
If you’re fond of action RPGs, Solomon’s Keep will satisfy your black heart. Note: This App may perform poorly at times on first generation machines, due to advanced rendering and special effects. And the last game is a Android game Goldminer v1.9 “Gold Miner” Classic Reproduction! The game requires your keen observation, flexible manipulation, endless intelligence, as well as exceptional endurance. You can mine endless treasures of gold in the crypt to be a new richer.

GoldMiner

All of the above games are free I hope that you enjoy them and I hope everyone has a very Happy Easter enjoy spending time with your families and friends and I wish for safe travels for everyone. :)

Will the Future of Next Generation Consoles Be Regulated by the Companies That Make the Consoles Themselves

Will the Future of Next Generation Consoles Be Regulated by the Companies That Make the Consoles Themselves

What does the future hold for consumers of next generation consoles… According to this post today from cnet.com
A tipster has told Kotaku that the PlayStation 4 is, named “Orbis,” and that it will feature an anti-used game system, offer no backwards-compatibility with PlayStation 3 titles.
And also there are rumors that the Xbox 720 May Not Play Used Games but will play Blu-Ray and (And Will Introduce Kinect 2) according to kotaku.com. What will happen to stores like gamestop.com will this eliminate the ability to rent games? Will it end the ability to try games before you pay the full price for them. I personally wonder will the next generation console try to integrate online purchasing of games only. In ways this could be good news and it could be bad for people who do not have internet connection and want to buy the games which may still be possible. Some people choose to not buy Xbox live and PSN network just to basically play the games without an internet connection.

Myself personally I would like to still have, the ability to play used games and for the console to have backwards-compatibility options because you spend a lot of money on these games then … a new console comes out you are very excited you want to buy it and you want to also be able to play the library of games you already have on it. For example if you paid $60 dollars for a new game you really want and you bring it home you play it for hours and hours until you have beaten the game and you would like to trade it for a new game if what they are saying about the rumors of not being able to play a used game you will be not be able to trade so you better really, really like it when you pay 60 dollars for it or what if you buy the game get home play it 10 mins and say I don’t like this game at all then basically you are, stuck with it if this happens with “no used games console”. Will the companies regulate our future in gaming as we know it now? I guess we will have to wait and see what Microsoft and Sony has in store for the new consoles.
