And so in a moment of impulse, I dropped 10 bucks on two
Desura games. They were “Ocean City Racing” and “Sky Nations”. Sky Nations was
an easy choice. I am a hopeless Minecraft addict and I must play all the block
based games. This one appears to be doing some things with airships I guess. I
played it once. It’s still in alpha and seems somewhat complex. The couple
minutes I played were totally in the dark. Hmm… I figured maybe I would wait
for a couple updates and try again. Such is the case with alpha games.
Ocean City Racing made me really sad. It didn’t work. The
game initially loads up fine, but when I actually selected to start the action,
all I get is a black screen. It sure looks nice. I was really into the idea of
getting another bargain racing game after how much I enjoyed “Little Racers
STREET”. Ah well. Such is life. Just a heads up for anyone thinking about
buying it, it won’t work with an integrated graphics chipset on a laptop. The
devs confirmed this in an email. *sigh*
Paranautical Activity is pretty cool though. Looks like my
best Desura games are coming from Indiegamestand.com
