OpenArena: free and fraggin-tacular game

Wed, 03 Jan 2007 05:13:54 GMT

clipped by: RiverRed
clipper's remarks: Haven't tried this yet. Would be interested in hearing the comments from those that have.

Clip Source: www.downloadsquad.com

Question...what is only 72MB, downloadable, free, fun, and fraggalicious? Why OpenArena, of course. This little game (with excellent graphics I might add) is built on the FOSS Quake 3 engine. There is a single player, as well as multiplayer mode you can play with. The latest version is 0.6.0, and is really a lot of gameplay packed into a small download (for what it is). If you are a gaming fan, especially of Quake, Unreal, and other fraggin games like that, and maybe a little old-skool, you'll like this game. I mean it doesn't get much better for free, does it? Heck, I like a free flash game, and this is just a tiny bit more involved. Try it out, it is actually quite addictive. Almost as much as the downloading of the game itself. Fresh bits and pixels man (in geek-speak, it means "sweet-lovin"). Enjoy and frag away!

Clip Source: www.techcrunch.com

AOL Video has decided to spread some holiday cheer by giving away over 30 free movie downloads for one day only on Saturday.

Several of the titles are, appropriately, Christmas movies such as National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation and Jack Frost, but there will be some non-spirited ones available such as Spiderman 2 as well. The free offering begins at 6:00 a.m. Eastern Time and customers are limited to one movie per person, but not one per computer.
