Category: action
Description: Multi-Player Online Network Game for Sci-Fi fans

Teleport into a far-away planet to do battle in an awesome deep space arena. Players from all over Earth and other Intergalactic Gaming League(TM) aligned planets can enter to battle together. Choose your battle vehicle from a selection of space ships, tanks, jeeps, helicopters and drop-ships. Your weapons include a selection of conventional machine guns, rockets or an electro-shock cannon. Dodge or blast the aliens and their advanced lasers to save your home planet. Human vs Human games allow you to battle in teams of 1 to 4 players: invite your friends, obliterate your enemies! Chat online with other human players. There are many arenas from solar systems all over the galaxy to choose from. View the battle from within the cockpit or from outside your vehicle. You can teleport to any part of the arena to get a tactical advantage over the enemy. Battle against your friends to dominate the arena. Fly or drive over the hills and valleys to hunt down hiding aliens. Beginner arenas can be played by anyone, but elite arenas are locked: you need to prove your skill by killing enemies to unlock them. Dominate them all to conquer the universe.

Hacker Evolution: Untold 1.0 New 19 Mar 10 7:18
submitted by exosyphenposted by nath
Category: simulation
Description: Play the role of a computer hacker in this challenging game.

When the number of computers in existence and their processing capacity exceeds that of all mankind, a point of technological singularity is encountered. A massive economic and systematic crisis hits the entire world. Nobody knows the exact cause, and all solutions to fix it, are failing. We are about to lose our position as a dominant specie on the planet, in favour of something we have created... computers.

You play the role of Brian Spencer, a young computer programmer working for a company he started with a couple of friends, which has developed the technology from where it all started.

When you are being framed for crime, it's up to you to prevent computers from becoming the next dominant specie, and clear your name, using your hacker skills.

The concept behind Hacker Evolution: Untold is to create a game that challenges the gamers intelligence, attention and focus, creating a captivating mind game. Solve puzzles, examine code and bits of information, to help you achieve your objectives.
