Dismounted: Porrasturvat & Rekkaturvat Interview

Posted by Julian "Spunior" Dasgupta –
Porrasturvat? Rekkaturvat? What the hell is he talking about? Don't fret, the two freeware games I'm referring to are also known as Stair Dismount and Truck Dismount respectively. Now that probably sounds more familiar. The main goal: push a ragdoll down the stairs (Porrasturvat) or create a truck accident with it (Rekkaturvat).

I bet you haven't read that anywhere else yet. Ahem. Anyway. Shacknews points out that Valve is only as reliable as about 95 percent of the other companies in the software industry. Which means that Half-Life 2 won't be available later this month.

Download Temple of Elemental Evil (Full Version)

Posted by Shawn Andrich –
Legally no less. Atari is offering the full version of Temple of Elemental Evil over Kazaa which includes six hours of play. If you decide to keep it you can pay $50 bucks to unlock the sucker. This is a great way to get the game for those of you outside of North America with fast connections or too lazy to hit the store.

We'll update once the English demo arrives. A hotseat session is said to be featured. Playtime and the weapon arsenal are limited though. Grab ze German demo (57 MB) here.

The game is now expected to ship some time in November. A new singleplayer as well as a multiplayer demo are expected to show up as well.Breed happens to be a prime example of bad time and resource management.

I noticed over at RPGDot that there's an RPGRadar interview with Swen Vincke of the Larian Studios as he talks about Riftrunner. As previously mentioned already, the game is not the direct sequel to their little RPG gem Divine Divinity, but he explains how it actually fits in the setting.What Riftrunner does is fill in the gap between Divinity 1 and Divinity 2.

Posted by Julian "Spunior" Dasgupta –
As noted at several places already, Stardock is going to release the free add-on to their Galactic Civilizations today. A nice move, isn't it? GalCiv was one of the titles I skipped due to time constraints when it came out.
