Project Powder
Project Powder is an amazing snowboarding game. You can play with up to 8 people at once in three different modes. Each game mode adds a different playstyle to Project Powder.
Racing Mode: Basic skill based racing mode to see who can finish first
Coin Mode: Collect as many coins as possible and whoever has the most coins at the end wins.
Battle Mode: Similar to the mario kart racing, where players hit each other with things to slow them down.
This racing MMO genre is getting bigger and bigger each day. There is so much about this game that many people enjoy. I find that the battle mode is the funnest of them all but everyone has their own opinions. If you liked mario kart or any racing game you will definitely be into this.
Project Powder also has amazing graphics. It has 3D animated graphics that are just incredible to look at. The character models are fantastic and everything up the steep slopes look great. As you are moving, the game also does a great job of making you feel as if you are going incredibly fast, like Need For Speed did.The game’s animated graphics are incredibly sleek and fit the game’s atmosphere well. The trick animations are also very polished and look great.
If you are looking for an amazing snowboarding game, or even just looking for some fun, you cannot go wrong with Project Powder. Everything about this game is top notch and you will love it as soon as you start playing.

There are 3 different tribes you can choose from when building your city.
The Romans - A high level of social and technological development, Romans are masters at constructing buildings. Also, the Romans troops are very balanced in attacking and defending.
The Gauls - The Gauls are the most peaceful of all three tribes in Travian. Their troops are trained for an excellent defence, but their ability to attack can still compete with the other two tribes. The Gauls are born riders and their horses are famous for their speed. This means that their riders can hit the enemy exactly where they can cause the most damage and swiftly take care of them.
The Teutons - The Teutons are the most aggressive tribe. Their troops are notorious and feared for their rage and frenzy when they attack. They move around as a plundering horde, not even afraid of death.

Helbreath

Helbreath is a game that has been out for about 5 years now. I have been playing this game since beta and I must say for a free game this has great graphics and game play as well.
The story behind the game isn't the most pleasant of tales, though it started out innocently enough. Two ruler gods of the world of Helbreath, Eldinel and Aresien, established a kinship with humanity. They came down from their elevated plane to join the humans in an event called, the "Descent of the Gods." For many years, the world of Helbreath knew peace. However, as evitably happens with gods, an argument of epic proportions ensued between Eldinel and Aresien. Dubbed the "Prime Event," the quarrel between these ruler gods spiraled the world of Helbreath into chaos of unimaginable proportions. Only one place in all of Helbreath, known as Equilibrium was saved from destructive force of this feud. Shunned by the Divine Power, nature turned against its human inhabitants creating desolation where there was once fertility. The humans reacted to all of this by renewing their devotion to the gods. However, the devotion was split between the god, Eldinel, whose whorshippers were known as the Elvine, and the god, Aresien, whose devotees were known as the Aresden. All the while, further chaos ensued and gave birth to the return of Abaddon, the absolute evil in the land. Taking advantage of the weakened state of humanity, Abaddon unleashed his minions in full force against them. Beginning as a lowly traveler, the player must journey through the world engaging Abaddon's scourge, among other manners of denizens, striving to rid the world of the ancient evil. Furthermore, the player has the opportunity to join on the side of either the Elvine or the Aresden and experience the player versus player element of the game called Total War.
Graphically, Helbreath International has its ups and downs. The detailed rendering of the terrain backgrounds is quite impressive and it is evident that great care was taken in the creation of these areas. Each area has its own unique feel, whether it be the peaceful starting countryside, the underwater city of Druncnia, the dungeon known only as Maze, and the fiery realm of Abaddon. I also found that a great deal of the more prominent monsters in the game showed a high level of style. The artwork behind the demon Abaddon, for example, was quite well done. Where I felt some improvement could be made was with the avatar and spell effect graphics, which were very reminiscent of the early Ultima Online MMO. Being used to more elaborate artwork for avatars and spell effects in some of the other leading MMOs, it almost felt like Helbreath was a throwback instead of a pioneer in this regard.
PvP is also a major regard in Helbreath. As far as safe zone goes, the only real safe zones are stores or your "farm" area. Opposite towns can be raided during the week for only a few min. On the weekend when Total War breaks out, towns can be raided until the event is over. All other zones in the game are PvP and you can be attacked anywhere. Sometimes annoying when you zone into a place only to be killed moments later, its equally funny to do it to others. :P
All in all, Helbreath is a fun game with hours of gameplay available. http://www.helbreathusa.com is the main website for Helbreath. However since the release of the USA version, switch from the International version it has gone pay to play. But there are also tons of free private servers which offer equal or even greater gameplay. A list of the top 100 can be found here.

Luna
.jpg)
Luna online also offers plenty of opportunity to subclass since a character can choose, for example, a defensive or support class early on and then switch to a more offensive class at the next job change. When they change jobs they also retain skills from their previous class. This allows players to create hybrids that mix skills from different job paths. Although you only have access to jobs within whichever class of the 3 (fighter, rogue or mage) you originally chose.
A player is asked to fill out a profile of their own personality, which is used by the game to find suitable matches in other players (indicated by a 'heart marker' icon). This is used for various features such as Date Instancing.
Date Instancing
Once paired up by the Match Making System, the two players are given the chance to go to special areas without the presence of other players. These areas are used for hunting and questing, or just simply to spend time together, just the two of them.
Family System
Families are a collection of five characters who have a good relationship with each other. Each family member is given a title which is used as their rank in the family, such as 'father' and 'mother'. Families are able to do a variety of things together as the family improves, such as build vehicles and other items, as well as buying a farm.
Improving Relations
'Matches' and 'Family' who come to each other's aid in battle will have their relationship with that person increased. This improves the effects of the Match or Family, as well as personal improvements.
Flyff

Flyff (Fly for Fun) is a free MMORPG with good graphics where characters have the ability to fly around on items such as brooms and boards.
For being a free RPG this game has good, colorful graphics.
Flyff has an anime style to it, which seems to appeal to a large amount of female gamers which helps with the community. Flyff has been out for awhile, so it is not the top of the line PC game, but as a free game it does amazingly well. One of the only problems with flyff's graphics is that you dont have much control over them. Large Scale PVP, Guild Wars, or Large AoEing will slow down some people.
Another fun thing about this game is that they try and stay with the seasons as well as the holiday themes. The GMs in the game also love to do events which makes the community even stronger. The community is one of the single most reasons why so many people enjoy Flyff so much. You can find all sorts of people in the community which make the game even more interesting.
Overall, Flyff is a community based game that thrives off of the relationships the players build with each other, be it a friendship or a rival. But it has a very addictive feel to it and is easy to fall right into with a very user friendly learning curve. Click Here to check it out!
