Tuesday, 27 May 2008 14:31

"Stunt racing game, developed by independent German studio Moon Byte. Crashday puts you in the world of stunts, dents and adrenaline: whether you prefer to smash your vehicle into pieces with breath-taking stunts or better still prefer to race against your enemies in on custom highspeed race tracks -- maybe you also just want to show your fellow man what a serious head-on collision can be like... The integrated track editor of Crashday builds the basis for all driving areas in the game. You build maps independent of any physical limits and it's up to you to decide whether you put jumps, loops, tunnels or houses onto the track.Source

AirRivals on Linux with Wine PDF Print E-mail

About AirRivals:

AirRivals is a free-to-play massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) with the characteristics of both Third-person shooters and flight simulators, developed by MasangSoft and owned by Yedang.

In AirRivals, players pilot their own individual starfighters (called "Gears") throughout a number of maps, including terrestrial, lunar, and space maps. It has typical MMORPG elements such as leveling, currency, and a skills system. Ace Online is a largely Player vs. Player (PvP)-oriented game, with character leveling and item acquisition achieved through combat against Non-Player Characters (NPCs) and the completion of missions. As a player gains levels, more and more maps become accessible. Although a high level character will have better character attributes than most other players, no one at any level is invincible against other players in PvP. As in other MMORPGs, players can trade items, customize their gears, form parties ("formations") and guilds ("brigades"), and fight with other players via PvP combat. Almost all of the combat in AirRivals is aerial, from the third-person view. Players have the option to use the in-cockpit, first-person view by pressing on the "Delete" key once.

Monday, 26 May 2008 08:49
In 1999, Rockstar Games and Rockstar North (then known as DMA Design) furthered the groundbreaking gameplay concepts established just two years prior in the original Grand Theft Auto - with the release of GTA2. GTA2 expanded on the top-down, open-ended crime world gameplay formula with a host of new features including the advent of multiple rival gangs – seven, to be exact, including the Yakuza, Scientists, Looneys, Rednecks, Zaibatsu, the Russian Mob and Hare Krishnas. Earn your respect with each gang. Reap the benefits with all manner of shady work-for-hire gigs contracted your way. And climb your way to the top of the criminal pile. Source

Psychonauts on Linux with Wine! PDF Print E-mail
Sunday, 25 May 2008 11:57
”Psychonauts is based on the exploits of Raz, a young boy gifted with psychic abilities who escapes the circus to try to sneak into a summer camp for those with similar powers in order to become a "Psychonaut". He finds that there is a sinister plot occurring at the camp that only he can stop from happening. The game is centered on the widely strange and imaginative minds of various characters that Raz enters as a Psychonaut-in-training in order to help them overcome their fears or memories of their past in order to gain their help and progress in the game. Raz gains use of several psychic abilities during the game that are used for both attacking foes and solving puzzles.” Source

I decided to test Psychonauts because I felt bad that I bought the game a year ago for about 3 Euro, and I had not played it at all.

Oblivion on Linux with Wine! PDF Print E-mail
Friday, 23 May 2008 15:05
This is my first How-to here at Wine-Review. Some tips on what I can improve would be nice!

Oblivion is a single-player game that takes place in Tamriel's capital province, Cyrodiil. You are given the task of finding the hidden heir to a throne that sits empty, the previous emperor having been killed by an unknown assassin. With no true Emperor, the gates to Oblivion (the equivalent of hell in the world of Tamriel) open, and demons begin to invade Cyrodiil and attack its people and towns. It's up to you to find the lost heir to the throne and unravel the sinister plot that threatens to destroy all of Tamriel.

Oblivion features a groundbreaking new AI system, called Radiant AI, which gives non-player characters (NPCs) the ability to make their own choices based on the world around them. They'll decide where to eat or who to talk to and what they'll say. They'll sleep, go to church, and even steal items, all based on their individual characteristics. Full facial animations and lip-synching, combined with full speech for all dialog, allows NPCs to come to life like never before.

New Microsoft Office 2007 Install Guide PDF Print E-mail
Written by Tom Wickline   
Tuesday, 20 May 2008 03:31

Zachary Stewart posted his Office 2007 Install Guide on Sunday May 18th, 2008 to the Wine Application Database and after reading it I thought I would post it here as well. We here at Wine-Review suggested using a rpcrt4.dll from CrossOver Games 7.0 and not CrossOver Office 6.2 because if you install the rpcrt4.dll from CrossOver Office 6.2 it wont work. The rpcrt4.dll in CrossOver Office 6.2 is ancient in terms of how much Wine has progressed since it's release back on October 2, 2007.

We suggest that people support Wine, by purchasing a copy of CrossOver Games and using the rpcrt4.dll from it instead, building the dll from source or holding off a couple more weeks and purchasing a copy of CrossOver Office 7.0 that comes with professional support and many stability and performance fixes that Wine wont have no matter how much tweaking you do. If you purchase CrossOver Office now, you will receive a free copy of CrossOver Games! And your entitled to one year of upgrades and technical support.
