A fist full of Windows games this week with a couple of new GameTap indies to try out. Now you can all try the legend that is… Daikatana
Daikatana
2000 | Action | Windows | Eidos Interactive |There’s a huge group of people that missed out on trying Daikatana, with the games legendary status, it’s something you should experience. It also doubles as a great competition to see who can stand to play the game for the longest
Infernal
2007 | Action | Windows | Eidos Interactive | Wow, Infernal is just a few months old and really looks great, it has some totally excessive bloom effects and some pretty sharp graphics that perform very well. Sadly the graphics outshine the rest of the game by a great deal, the art department spent some time on this one, but the gameplay just feels a little flat and dull. Infernal definitely fell short of it’s potential
Blast Miner
2007 | Puzzle | Windows | Cryptic Sea |Blast Miner looks like a Tetris game, but then you notice the physics, then things start exploding! This is a fun distraction but it seems rather mindless with the main arcade mode. Try out the puzzle option and see what you think
Morning Wrath
2005 | Role-Playing | Windows | Ethereal Darkness | A brave effort at crating a top down RPG, as much as I can see the effort that went into the game I can’t really recommend it unless this is really your bag
Startopia
2001 | Simulation | Windows | Eidos Interactive | Startopia is the only other game this week, besides Daikatana that I’d even heard of this week. This is definitely the ace of the releases here, with some quirky characters and decent gameplay. It’s not without its faults by any stretch of the imagination, but it’s a good time.

It’s hard to imagine, how people have guts to write comments like that. I would never write anything like this, because I would have thought what other would think of me after that. I know that it doesn’t matter who you are in Internet, you can act however you want, but anyway I would remember that a man should act nice and polite, no matter if he is online or offline

Hm… all in all I’m agree with you, but your readership… what are they gonna say about it?
