FACE OF MANKIND

An interesting new MMORPG just went into open beta. I just finished with the training so I'm not so experienced with the game, but several aspects of the game design look pretty promising:

Rather than a turn-based sort of thing, this game is a first person (or third person!) shooter in the vein of Neocron.
The game is almost exclusively run by players. When joining a faction in the pregame, one can - for instance - become a cop and arrest unscrupulous players with warrants on their head. It also supports the ability for players to create quests and set rewards. The faction leaders are human players, and the market is completely player-run.
The story universe is something like Deus Ex, it would seem, only way in the future.

Anyways, I downloaded it this afternoon and got myself an apartment on the moon

Yesterday, I'll admit: I was on newgrounds. NO NO DON'T YELL AT ME! I WAS JUST LOOKING AT THE MISTER HAPPY FACE VIDEO AGAIN D: D: D: Anywho, I saw an advertisement for some strange game that was apparently reviewed in PCGamer. So, I clicked.

And lemme tell you - this is a game that has to be seen to be believed. It's a 2-d platformer with so many irresistibly swank features that you just HAVE to try it out.

So what's the hold-up? <3

General / The Ship

Okay fine. There are no pirates. But what I do bring to you is an excellent mod that was released scant few days ago called The Ship. Just to avoid all the inevitable questions about what this newfangles 'ship' thang is, I'm posting this here and now. To summarize exactly what it is, I'll show y'all the PHL quote:

Quote

Imagine a game in which you don't know who to trust, you don't know who may be about to kill you, in fact you don't even know who is human and who is artificial. Played online, your quarry is another human player but can you find them amongst the AI inhabitants of the Ship? Once you know who they are, find yourself a weapon but keep an eye out for security guards and cameras. If you're spotted trying to murder someone you'll be transported to the Brig and suffer a hefty fine. If you succeed in killing your quarry Mr. X will reward you with a cash prize, depending on how entertaining he found your murder. At the same time you must look after yourself, wash, sleep, eat and have fun and remember - always look over your shoulder because somewhere there's a player looking for you!

Anywho, the site is here: www.theshiponline.com

A direct download to the client can be found here, for those who like to whine that it doesn't work. Keep in mind that this will apparently only work for americans - if you're a brit or European otherwise, just find the corresponding download link from the main page.
