Unreal
Tournament Tweak Guide
"Offered
for Very Real Crap Computers"
We know
and feel your pain. It's hard to play multiplayer on-line games when your
computer has a smaller circuit board than your microwave oven. Fortunately
for you however, the gamers over at Gamesurge
have posted a way to tweak one of the most popular current titles around,
Unreal: Tournament. The series of commands supposedly makes it easier
and faster for the megahertz-challenged to duke it out with their betters,
and have a good chance of surviving. Check out the commands here,
and ask for a good computer for Christmas (actually, you might need to
throw a few extra holidays in there), if only for your frag rate's sake.

Quake
3 News
Informant
Has the Word On Quake III:
Mysterious
"Cancer Man" in the Know
Our fave
news site, Voodoo Extreme
posted an interesting link recently concerning a mysterious informant,
who reportedly has reliable information on the upcoming Quake III Arena.
All that is known about the informant is that he (or she?) works for the
government, smokes constantly, and has to answer to a board of old men
in the deep recesses of the Pentagon. The information is reportedly
reliable, but you can take a look and judge
for yourself

Shiny
Announces the Multiplayer Sacrifice
"Shiny
Happy People Holding Hands:"
Shiny recently
announced the upcoming release of it's latest project, entitled Sacrifice.
The game is the company's first venture into the multiplayer realm, and
looks to be the same warped and twisted stuff that we're all kind of used
to from them. An official web page
is up concerning the game, but not much info is readily available just
yet. Right now there's just a developer-run message board and team
bios. Still, you may want to check Sacrifice.net for news from time
to time, lest the title catch you sleeping.

I Can Frag"
You can
check out the newest version of the Quake II mod AirQuake here.
AirQuake gives your player the ability to take down various flying vehicles
with surface-to-air and air-to-air missles, as well as supposedly flying
around in a cockpit, yourself. The mod also features a few new toys, faster
and meaner bots, and all new camera angles to enjoy. What will they think
of next? Can SubmarineQuake be far behind?

Middle
Earth Online Still "A Go"
Keeping
with the scheme of Online Multiplayer RPGs - Sierra, and the lovely Genevieve
Ostergard confirmed to Ultimate Games that although the team behind Middle
Earth Online has been reassembled and the overall design of the game has
headed back to the drawing board the game is still going ahead. As a result,
and also because we just LURVE those MMOGs - we'll be doing a feature
over the next week or two on what we hope MEO will bring to online only
RPGs - so check back soon.
