Released in 1999, Freespace 2 is a space combat game created by Volition, and published by Interplay.
One of Volition’s earlier games, they went on to make Summoner, Red Faction and Saints Row.
The game was included for free in a recent issue of an Australian PC games magazine “PCPowerplay” (November 2008 Issue #157).
So I’ve pre-ordered my copy of Fallout 3, and decided to go for the collectors edition. Many collectors editions are fairly sparse on features, usually with a “Making of” DVD and a bonus multiplayer map. The fallout 3 edition has some pretty cool stuff.
Armada Online (AO) is a free MMO game that is currently being developed by EvStream.
AO is a space based action game where players pilot starships against each other and aliens (Armada).
Whilst still in alpha, the game is available to download and play. An active community reports bugs and requests features to developers in an open environment.
This is the first of what I hope will be a series of articles about excellent games created by small non-commercial teams. Often these games are free or low cost, yet sometimes offer a richer experience then full priced games.
