This amazing-looking game, courtesy of Oxeye Games, is worth all of the hype it is getting. The guys over at Oxeye certainly know the niche in the games market - bringing us an outstanding Real-Time Strategy (RTS).

You must build your base, gather resources and fend off endless hordes of aliens. The game uses a highly optimized engine perfectly suited for epic battles with literally thousands of enemies!

But like with any RTS, there’s more to it than that! There’s a complete storyline to it and many more in-depth details about various enemies and their attributes and weaknesses. Being a full-fledged RTS, you’d expect a price-tag, and that’s unfortunately what you get. However, you may download the demo to ‘wet your appetite’, or find out how the game plays, right here.

The guys over at OpenTTD have long been working on this awesome game.

OpenTTD is a clone of the Microprose game “Transport Tycoon Deluxe”, a popular game originally written by Chris Sawyer. It attempts to mimic the original game as closely as possible while extending it with new features.

It shouldn’t take a genius to work out that this game is also open-source, and will run on any operating system (well, most) - including Mac OS X and Linux (Debain/Ubuntu)! If more games like this were made, perhaps Linux and Mac would be more popular? Windows surely dominate the gaming market at the moment, but who knows what the future holds? ^_^
