Free to play browser games are all the rage nowadays, you can’t enter a phrase into Google without one popping up saying ‘play me play me!’ Ignore any and all of them, Die2Nite is the game you want to be playing, especially if you like zombies.
Medal of Honor is a game that is unsure about what it wants to be. Before release we were treated to numerous interviews from EA where they stated their primary intention was to recreate an authentic soldiering experience. Well from any military perspective that is clearly nonsense.
While free to play games are taking over the world, there is one which may perfected idea. I’m talking about Lord of the Rings Online, a MMORPG which has turned from the traditional pay-monthly model to a hybrid which has free to play at its heart.
Over the past month some massive games have been released, Medal of Honour, New Vegas and Garden Simulator. What can we expect in November? The big dog returns to rule the roost with the upcoming release of Call of Duty Black Ops and our favourite football game comes back for another year with Football Manager 2011. Read on for the month ahead in PC gaming.
After my preview of some of the games coming out on the PC this October several people pointed me in the direction of The Ball. I had heard of the name and after paying a visit to the official website I knew where I had heard of the game before, from the Make Something Unreal competition.

Welcome to ‘The Month Ahead’, a new feature where we take a brief look at some of the PC games coming in the month ahead and what we think of the games that you are dying to play, or dying to avoid. This month we have monster titles such as Medal of Honour and Fallout: New Vegas coming, the racy Official WRC Game, an…interesting sounding Garden Simulator and more readying for release.
[Insert ordinary praise for the game and a slow introduction here] Have you listened to the developer commentary of TF2? As you’d expect from Valve, they’re clever and give you a pretty thorough look behind the curtains of the game. Unfortunately, some of it is out of date by now, and only serves as a reminder of earlier times. Times without paraphernalia better suited for games like Men of War.
If you try to talk to someone about Apple and games you will likely get a lot of blurb about how the iPhone is the best thing since sliced bread and is the true new way of playing games. It is extremely unlikely that they will say anything at all about games on Mac OSX.
