Beach volleyball is always pleasant. Shining sun, emerald sea, summer vacations:The volleyballies that play this rather funny game will help the player to recollect the best moments of the summer vacations or to while away the time till the moment, when he will put his feet on the sea-coast and will play beach volleyball receiving a perfect suntan and ton of pleasure (including the one from recollecting our volleyballies).

The object of the game is for each player to send the ball regularly over the net to ground it on the opponents court, and to prevent the ball from being grounded on its own court. A point is added to the players score every time when the opponent drops the ball or hits it more then three times in a row.

In the game we used the sideout scoring system. A player wins a game by scoring 15 points with a two-point advantage - this is a classic scheme. We complicated it by the feature when the winner receives additional 1000 points for the points advantage, and if he won for less than 15 minutes, 10 points are added for every second left.

Smooth pseudo 3D animation, realistic physics and striking dynamism - these are the main features of this game. Several levels of difficulty will not let you get bored waiting for the beach season to come. Moreover, you have a possibility to grow professionally here : move from Novice to Expert and Master of Volley Balley.

The game runs on major Linux flavors (RedHat, Debian, Mandrake, SuSE, Slackware and others)

DH: Lore Invasion puts the player into the very mind of the most lethal war machines ever to engage combat in the war-torn Earth of 2155. Connected by a remote neural link, you control your Mechanized Assault Vehicle (MAV) in a squad of allied warriors while seeking to claim soil for the faction to which youve pledged your allegiance.
Can you lead your people to peace in a harsh universe where reflexes and nerves of steel are the touchstones of victory? Or will your enemy overpower you with superior resolve and unrelenting firepower? How will you write the Lore of the future?
History will remember your era as the turning point; after 150 years of uneasy peace, the stalemate has been broken and the Earth has once again plunged into a war that will decide the future of "No Mans Land"... once known as "North America". As the Federated States and Eastern Confederation clash once more, it will be you who enters the fray at its most intense and will lead your people to victory or oblivion. The year is 2155 and the war which will decide the fate of mankind is beginning, and your courage will write the lore of the future on the soil of battle.
This battle-zone is not the Earth as you remember it: Intense radiation makes it impossible for living things to set foot on the dried, crusted surface. Instead, factions deploy cybernetically-controlled Mechanized Assault Vehicles (MAVs) which can operate quickly and lethally while being linked to the very minds of the soldiers who control them from thousands of miles away. These vehicles of battle are so closely woven into the minds of their masters that every neural impulse is instantaneously transmitted to and from the warriors. They are one, the mind and the machine.
Some choose to fight for the technologically-advanced culture of the Federated States who inculcate justice for all and believe in the power of a balanced society. Others choose the way of the fist and adopt the savage warriors path that belongs to the Eastern Confederation where might makes right. As a MAV Warrior you will have to pull the trigger with no more than a split second of warning, but for whom will you fire your weapons and aim your cannons? Choose your allegiance and lead your faction to victory.

Lugaru is a third-person action game. The main character, Turner, is an anthropomorphic rebel bunny rabbit with impressive combat skills. In his quest to find those responsible for slaughtering his village, he uncovers a far-reaching conspiracy involving the corrupt leaders of the rabbit republic and the starving wolves from a nearby den. Turner takes it upon himself to fight against their plot and save his fellow rabbits from slavery.
Lugarus primary feature is its unique combat system. Instead of relying on confusing button combinations to perform moves, Lugarus moves are all logical and context sensitive. For example, if an opponent aims a roundhouse kick at Turners head, you can crouch and then stand up under the attack to grab your assailants leg and kick him away. If you try and punch an opponent and he tries to throw you over his shoulder, you can crouch to roll painlessly out of the throw. This new combat system makes fights look and feel much more intense and believable than in any other game. You can see it in action with the gameplay movies above.
However, if straight close-range combat with hands, knives, swords and staves is not your style, you can also use stealth, but you have to be smart about it. If you cut a wolfs throat, be sure to wipe the blood off your knife or another wolf might smell it. Enemy rabbits have very keen hearing, so be sure to walk quietly, and kill enemies before they make too much noise or run to alert their friends. Also, if they do bring their friends, dont expect them to stupidly take turns fighting you. It is not unusual for one enemy to sweep your feet out from under you and another to smash you while you fall.
Because of the emphasis on gameplay, the graphics are designed to let the game run as smoothly as possible. It should run at full speed at full detail on any system with a 700 mhz processor and Geforce 3 or better graphics card. It should run acceptably on any system with a 300 mhz processor and Rage 128 or better graphics card.
While models do not have as many polygons as in some new commercial games, there is an unprecedented amount of detail where it actually matters. If an enemy shatters his staff on your skull then your vision will unfocus slightly for a few seconds. Jumping through trees creates a shower of leaves (and snow if it is in a cold area).
Landing an especially solid blow to the head can spatter blood on the wall and knock out a couple teeth. If you throw a knife into a wolf, blood will drip down his fur as he yanks out the knife and uses it against you. It is even possible to smash enemies so hard into walls that the surface cracks. Motion blur makes fast movement easier to track.
Technical Features:
- Fast terrain engine with texture blending, footprints, and transparent fog
- Unique fast-paced combat system with weapons, attack reversals, and counter-reversals.
- Skeletal animation with rag-doll physics and hand and face expressions
- Motion blur and many other effects.
