If my posting seems a little light lately it’s because of my newly found gaming addiction—Savage: The Battle for Newerth.
We’ve been playing it at Chris’ LAN parties the last few times he’s held them and it’s way more fun than it has any legal right to be. Best Buy dropped the price on it to $19.99 recently so I was able to pick up a copy for myself the other day and I’ve been playing it nightly ever since. It’s sort of a cross between a first/third person shooter and a real-time strategy game depending on what role you take on. It’s multiplayer only, though, which is why I waited for the price to drop before picking it up. Definitely worth the twenty bucks. Check it out if you’re looking for something new to try.
I’d read about that in the forums of another multiplayer game (the natives were restless) and only wish I’d been in possesion of a computer capable of playing anything more than solitaire…
