It used to be that occasionally postman prat would park his nice shiny van outside our gates and politely post a letter through our metaphorical post box, then go back to stroking jest the cat, leaving us lots of free time to make the occasional news post about the odd update, then go back to composing quality and clever jokes such as that one what which I just done and said, ---- you know that one which made you laugh? ---- well okay.

anyway these days that metaphorical postman has substituted the polite little knock on the metaphorical door with a metaphorical machine gun! peppering us with a high speed flood of metaphorical news, and actually breaking our metaphorical windows and shattering our metaphorical garden gnomes.

Really we ought to employ some metaphorical mercenaries and let good old Postman Prat meet a forceful, and most real end.

Either way, the point of all this rambling rantage is to say we have news, lots of news, lots and lots of news! so much news that I can't even think of an appropriately funny simile for it.

First off Tichanblu, developers of the very good Inquisitor game series have got their heads out of the torture chamber and onto the racetrack, the starry, futuristic science fictiony race track (and yes Science fictiony is a perfectly cromulant word).

Their new game Audio speed is a racing game with a difference. fly one of a number of star ships around 7 different tracks from sirius to hydra, either practice on a single track or take on the tournament where you must play through all 7.

The game is priced at 19 euroes, wich is about 26 dollars or 16 British pounds, and is available on Pc and mac (with possibly an Ios version in the future). To learn more about the game, hear trailers or audio instructions for playing see The Tichanblu website and of course check out our new releases room for several topics about the game.

Then, at the very very other end of time, space and gameplay, join a clan of bronze age farmers settling their new and fantastic lands in the Ios game King of dragon pass which has recieved yet another update. More scenes for the complex story to get embroiled in, (now bringing the scene count up to close to 600), and several vo fixes. Though be warned start this game and you might find it hard to put down.

The fantasy theme doesn't stop there however. most people who are fans of gamebooks will know The project Aon site where all of Jo diva's fantastic Lone wolf series of adventure gamebooks, originaly published in the 1980's, have been htmlified (another cromulant word), and put online for people's pleasure. For more information see The database. now, the very last book in the Lone wolf series, the adventure of Lone wolf's apprentice and end of the new order series, Hunger of Sejanoz. An Ancient evil is free, save the king of a lost empire and the refugees of his court from an army of undead as they treck across the land.

Of course there are more works of Joe Diva's upcoming for Project.aon, noteably his neuclear war survival series freeway warrior, but this concludes the legacy of Lone wolf, last of the Kai.

Finallyas anyone who has been hanging about on our forums will know, some browser games have been dragged kicking and screaming from the bouls of the internet. These include Popamundo, a life simulation game where you play an aspiring pop star, the vampire battle game crimson moon, Legenda, a fantasy combat game, and finally Blood wars, another game where you play a vampire, but this time in a post appocalyptic world full of monsters.

Thanks is also due to the developers of Blood wars for inserting a sound alternative to the bloody image capture (a thing there should be a war against), on the sign up page, meaning that Vi players can get to questing and exploring the dark and nasty world of vampire politics along with everyone else with no unexpected hassles.

Also, if your looking for more browser games, don't forget The games to play online page at whitestic.co.uk  maintained by Tom Lorima, which has the most extensive list of browser games and playable, accessible muds, indeed it was this page over at whitestick that firgst got me into playing computer games on a pc (though don't let that put you off,).

Happy gaming!
