Slots and Video Poker |
A very good simulation of Vegas gaming machines: Slots and Video poker. The interface, audio samples and visuals are all quite authentic. There are gaming machine variants available to play.
<p>
Although the game doesn't use any authentic gaming machine graphics (like Double Diamond or 4th of July).
<p>
This is a pleasant little timewaster on par with something like Eric's Solitare.
<p>
Gameplay is fairly simple: Slots are just a matter of putting in money and pulling the handle. Video Poker is a bit more involved; you have to decide which cards to keep for the next draw. So there is a slight element of strategy.
<p>
This is an SDL game and there are some minor but noticeable bugs in the shipping version including install and fullscreen issues.
<p>
Also, bear in mind when ordering this title mail order that the game box itself is not internally reinforced with extra cardboard. So, this title can get quite bashed when only travelling in a shipping envelope.

Sid Meier's space simulation and strategy game comes to Linux. |
Throughout the ages of humanity, the urge to explore new horizons has called upon our deepest instincts. Yet Earth now lies open, its every corner inhabited, every depth known like the lines of your hand. But time and technology have given you the chance the reach out for new, completely unexplored, uninhabited worlds to conquer, far from the bosom of old Mother Earth. It is time for humanity to leave its cradle...
<p>
Sid Meier's latest simulation and strategy adventure has come to Linux, thanks to the efforts of Loki. Set out for new, distant shores with strange suns never before beheld by the human race -- and perhaps undo the wrongs done on humanity's first planet by building your own New World. |

Anime-inspired giant robot combat |
In Shogo you play Sanjuro, a hotshot commander caught in the middle of a war against a terrorist organisation that cost him his family and his girl-friend. As the plot develops, you will find out that not everything is as you thought it was. But make no mistake: Shogo is all about furious 3D action.
<p>
Some sections of the game have to be traversed on foot whilst other sections can only be completed with the aid of a Mobile Combat Armor unit, a 10 meters tall metal suit that packs some really amazing fire-power such as a laser-cannon and a multi-warhead launcher. In true anime fashion, the MCA's are extremely maneuverable and it's great fun to squash a foot-soldier now and then, but just remember to make a run for it when you're the one on foot...
