The package includes the original Sacred, a free (official) expansion pack called Sacred Plus and the Sacred: Underworld expansion pack.

I for one can’t wait for this port to be released.

The winner will be the first person to guess which game it is, based upon the slowly revealing image on http://competition.linuxgamepublishing.com/.

The chance to know what new game is coming out for Linux and the chance to win the first copy of it produced. Yay :).

If you want Linux games already released, head to TuxGames. (Yes that’s my referral link ;)

This one is for TuxGames (well, this was /really/ from the cat (Junior) and the hamster (Tuxine)):

This one was for Aetolian credits (Aetolia being a MUD):

And the final one was for Wii points in the wii shop channel:

You get issues to solve, you can take part in the UN and move to different regions. The game seems to be quite good, and i’ve been playing since yesterday. It doesn’t require much work to play it, nor much time. You can get from two issues per day to one issue per weekday to no issues at all. The way your nation evolves is through the decisions you make. My nation is called Dathir, you can get information about Dathir here.

Visit this for something completely unrelated to NationStates but still fun.

The ones that I’ve come up with that I’m going to continue playing is Urban Dead which is related to this and Nowhere Else and Beyond. The first one is a undead game where you take the role of a undead or a human (that is likely to turn undead :P) in a city and get a set amount of movement points every day (50 iirc) – the second one is a javascript based fantasy game – which is amazingly well made for a browser game, however has a few grammatical errors here and there, but nothing big. If you’ve got any hints on other games I should try be sure to leave them in a comment to this post, however the game must not require the use of any proprietary software (read: flash or java) – javascript is okay.
