Shamless Pimpage

<div class="IPBDescription">For Purge</div> Ok, there is this game out there called <a href='http://www.purgeonline.net' target='_blank'>Purge</a>, rather niftly little game, with a fun blending of FPS and an exp system.

Well, though they are a fairly cool game, they have one serious problem. Their company bites and refuesed to spend ANY money on advertisment, so there is about 1 active server, though the comunity is still strong.

Basicaly due to their companies refusal to pimp Purge, some of us have set out to do it for them <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

Positives:
1) Good team based strategy combat
2) an exp system to seperate them (slightly) from alot of other FPS games/mods out there
3) a VERY active development staff (Taking much the same stance as he NS dec team does of listening to the comunity and giving them what they want)
4) A New patch featuring a compleatly new style of game play to be released sorta soon <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
5) Tiny comunity (depends on how you look at it <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->)
6) costs $10 (don't buy it for 30 though some stores still sell it at 30, go for $10 USD)

Negatives:
1) Tiny comunity (depends on how you look at it <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->)
2) Kinda dificult to get the hang of (then again I am talking to the S comunity so that don't matter <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->)

So the best thing to do is to go and check out their <a href='http://www.purgeonline.net/players.shtml' target='_blank'>Manual</a>. However alot has changed after the creation of that manual and thus you wont get the FULL explenation.
Also, if you have palyed the demo of it, Alot has changed after that. There will be a new demo released soon (I will probably post when it is <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->)

    Yeah, SomethingAwful.com reviewed that game... they gave it like, a -30 or -40 or something.

    EDIT: out of -50. (highest score possible is 0)

    again, it got horrible reviews for a few reasons:
    1) No one plays (big one)
    2) in a day of cutting edge its lack of super tech gfx and sound often hold it back
    3) lack of marketting also = bad reviews (sad to say but very true)

    as for a nother review check out:

    well at least one person has an open mind <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    again, I am the type of person that is always looking ofr a new game, I generaly will play a game of one thing, thne one game of another etc (alot of those happen to be NS, but still <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->)

    again, for $10 or less (you can find it for less) it is worth a shot <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    hey, if you are from NYC, think about it this way:
    If you have fun for more then 2 hours, it was a better investment then a Movie <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> (yes movies cost $10 in NYC <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->)
