Good things can come for free part 2

Steam have recently put up a free game offer for both Nvidia and ATi Users. Even though it requires a card for either of those companies these games would require a dedicated card for play anyway. For Nvidia users you can get Half-life 2 Deathmatch, Half-life 2 Lost coast, Peggle Extreme and Portal First Slice a demo which features the first 13 levels. For ATi Users you only get the first 2. Half-life 2 Deathmatch offers the most gameplay as it is a multiplayer deathmatch game. It is also a lot of fun too.

This game offers two main gameplay types. Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch. Which you find more fun is up to you. I find that Team Deathmatch is more fun, but for those that like everything at the fastest possible pace then you gotta love plain old deathmatch. The Weapons and character models are directly of Half-life 2 and the maps have the same sort of feel and look quite similar to some of the areas in the game.

Blog Smarter & Faster

Using a dedicated blogging tool for your blog instead of using an online blog editor that is part of your blogging service can bring great benefits including extra functionality or easier access to extra options and more freedom in where and the way you blog.        

I'm using Windows Live Writer to type up this blog but many other tools are available for typing up your blogs including Post2Blog, Blogdesk and Scribefire (this is a Firefox extension). Although I am typing this on my laptop at home connected to the Internet, with anyone of these blog editing packages you can edit your posts where ever you are whether or not you are connected to Internet giving you more freedom to edit your blogs.

I may later post a review on these tools.

Good things can come for free



EA are soon to release their new play 4 free, cartoon shooter Battlefield: Heroes.
Instead of purchasing the game, you download it straight from their website for free. How can it come for free ? This game is supported by ads and micro payments for extra customizations to your game character.

It is a third person shooter with cartoon graphics and modest system requirements from what we can see so far. It is designed so that you may even be able to run this on certain integrated gfx solutions. It is expected to come with 2 or 3 maps included and they may make more after release.

It also will include a matchmaking system meaning that noobs and eight ( or eighty ) year olds play with each other while people who can play may actually get a challenge.

Many people are looking forward to this game and cannot wait for it's release ( I for one being one of those people). It has received positive anticipation from many critics and is one that the general public looks forward to.
