Oh and www.tetrisfriends.com since Tetris is amazing.


bump this site :o if you want a tetris client of your own, try Lockjaw.

For those who might be interested in more tetris:

I'd like to add onto this Nullpomino on Windows/Mac/Linux
as well as Cultris 2 for Windows/Mac.

Both are highly customizable and have many modes of play.

Really addictive and quick to get going.
Been playing on the european server for about a week, and I have yet to be in a "looking for group screen" longer than 2 seconds (not exaggerated, I barely have time to read the number of people currently looking for game before I get thrown into one).

Matches last on average 5-10 minutes (in my experience), and will be called a draw after 15 minutes if niether of the victory conditions are met (kill all enemies or capture the enemy base).

If you happen to die really early, you can exit the match, and look for a new match with another tank, you will still get full credit for a game even if you leave early, but you can't use that tank until the match is over.

You can get about 90% of the stuff for free by just playing alot, but the incentive to pay is to get access to new stuff quicker. And the exclusive stuff that you pay for is only marginally better than what you can get ingame. A example would be fuel (limited use) increases engine power by 5%. Premium fuel (limited use) increases engine power by 10%.
The only thing that bugs me that is premium only is the ability to create groups so you can join with your friends.

Reason why im not playing this game is cause of the lack of a TL guild
I heard PvP and trade is back which is a huge turn on.

There are many others. C-evo, OpenArena, Chromium B.S.U., Freespace 2 open, the early Command & Conquers.

I also tested 0 AD, a good-looking Age of Empires clone. But it's more like an early alpha version.

C-evo is a really great Civilization-style game. It's very well thought-out.

www.infantryarena.com or station.com is where you can download

The servers are down at the moment because of the whole SoE hacking situation, but this has been one of my favorite games for over a decade now. Very skill-based combat but somewhat difficult to control and learn.

Yeah I don't know how to embed videos, hahaha. It's a shame this game kind of faded after it went p2p and then back to free again. It's really its own genre.

Winterbells. It's a very simple but very addicting little game. You won't spend hours on it, but it'll keep you busy for a while.

The goal is to get as many points as you can, you need to hop as a bunny from bell to bell, and get higher and higher. It's a bit like Robot Unicorn Attack.

The music is especially really nice.

I love this thread.
Have you considered the MMO-Champion forum? You are just as irrational and delusional with the right portion of nostalgic populism. By the way: The old Brood War was absolutely unplayable

Such an amazing game! Sort of Quake, Street Fighter and StarCraft combined!

'Bloodline Champions' is a free-to-play online player vs. player arena game where players engage in short, intense battles of up to ten players divided into two teams. Each player must take control over one of several different bloodlines, each with their own unique weapons and abilities. Easy to learn, challenging to master - 'Bloodline Champions' is just as much fun for the casual player as it is for the hardcore gamer.

We at Stunlock Studios, the developer of 'Bloodline Champions', made it our number one goal to make the ultimate PvP arena game. That meant doing away with chance, random elements, target locking and critical hits. Here player skill and team play is the most important factor to win.

Different bloodlines in a set up complements each other, different maps and game modes need different tactics, and good teamwork is important. Spells travel towards where the player aim their mouse cursor, and can be avoided by enemy players, making every ability dependent on individual player skill. There is no mana and the cooldowns are short, ensuring that every match is full of intense, adrenaline-filled action.
