Today's Picks Puzzle Pirates Version: File Size: 0.57 License: Free Operating System: Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional,Microsoft Windows 7,Microsoft Windows 98,Microsoft Windows ME,Microsoft Windows Vista,Microsoft Windows XP Puzzle Pirates (freemium) is an unusual MMO: A puzzle game. In virtually all MMOs, there's some kind of connection between what your avatar is trying to do and what you see when play: You swing a sword, gesture, root in the dirt for plants, and so on. In Puzzle Pirates, though, you pump the bilge or sail the seven seas by playing various sorts of puzzles that make no pretense of modeling, even abstractly, the action being performed. - Ian Harac Share: Read more and download this software » Darkfall Online Version: 1.0.9 File Size: License: Trial Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7,Microsoft Windows Vista,Microsoft Windows XP Darkfall Online ($15/month subscription, 14-day free trial) hearkens back to some of the earliest days of MMOs, especially Ultima Online, where a combination of game design issues and misreading the audience led to the early months being pretty much a nonstop slaughterfest. While the history of MMOs since then has shown that most players do not like to pay 15 dollars a month to be someone else's victim, there's a small, but very loud, group that wants the hardest of hardcore PVP. The MBA degree holders in that group play spreadsheets-in-space game EVE Online. The rest play Darkfall. *Note*: The Download button takes you to the vendor's site, where you can download the latest version of the software. - Ian Harac Share: Read more and download this software » Downloads: Editor's Collection Your Personal Wikipedia: 9 Free Apps and Services That Help You RememberComputers and smartphones can store and sift through reams of data.
