Game Review Website Featuring Glest!

[CGChris]

Hi everyone, I've started a website for reviewing free games and I'm hoping to get it out to some more viewers and maybe get some feedback. One of the most recent posts is a quick write-up on Glest, and there's an ever-growing collection of other free games being reviewed as well.

Let me know what you think and if you like it, feel free to spread the word around!

That's great, but you failed to mention the true potential of Glest: it's mods. With them, there's a lot more than just the two factions, two tilesets, and eight maps. I alone count 27 factions, 21 tilesets, and 88 maps alone, and I can't claim to download every Glest mod.

As well, the original Glest game is dead. All development is on GAE and MegaGlest. Perhaps you should review GAE instead? And try some of the mods, such as Military, the MegaPack, or Project Green?

Nice site, bookmarked! But yes, you should review MegaGlest (http://megaglest.org) and GAE too. Glest isn't developed anymore. I also agree on mentioning about mods. And you should probably try the new and upcoming mods too, such as the Sci-Fi pack, Dinosaurs, and Annex.

Thanks.

Ah! I meant to do something about the mods, but I couldn't seem to get MegaGlest up and running.... I'm on a Mac and the forums made it seems like the Mac version wouldn't be quite right until the next release. I got the initial problem sorted out by installing Libpng and Libjpg, but then the problem was glest.ini, which I downloaded and wasn't sure where exactly to put it. I tried in the containing folder of the app and a few places inside the package itself but no luck. I remember with the original Glest I had to run a patch for a glest.ini problem, so is there a similar approach for MegaGlest? I'd love to write some more about all the mods, but I suppose I can wait until the next version if I must

Oh you're on a Mac...yeah, I heard later on someone is going to help the MG team with that, hopefully by the next version. Hopefully the same thing goes with GAE.

Good luck with your site!

I know that Silnarm has access to a Mac, and has mentioned building a mac version before, but demand is so low I don't think such was ever posted/done.
