What we are going to do is about once a month until Starcraft 2 is released is host a Starcraft Tunngle weekend. If you enjoy playing Starcraft, please visit the Starcraft room in Tunngle this weekend and play with the guys. It will be a good time, and maybe you can brush up on your Starcraft skills in preparation for Starcraft 2!

Foreword:  I am very excited.  This is definitely one of my favorite posts for 2009, and as you read further, you will understand why.  This guide is clearly not illegal.  It is simply another method to enable users to play their LAN enabled games over the Internet with friends.  No longer are you bound to be in the basement with your PCs to play LAN games! There is a reason why I spent two long nights working on this guide and the excellent video!  ~ Versatile

If you follow this blog, or know anything about VPN programs, Hamachi is a great program that people can use to play LAN games with each other.  In short, Hamachi was the king for implementing LAN games to play over the Internet.  How it worked is people would join these networks, and Hamachi gives each user a unique IP address.  When you launch a game, the game is tricked into thinking that everyone in the network is on the same LAN, and hence, you can see each other to play the game.

Of course, Hamachi has other useful purposes such as being a great secure chat medium, as well as being an alternative as a safe VPN to tunnel into your PCs and transfer files or encrypt remote transfers or remote administration.

In preparation for SC 2, we are releasing some SC 1 Game Endings!

Watch if you haven’t, but you better play the games!

Note: If we got any wrong endings, or if you have the endings we don’t, tell us. If you have the ending, upload it to YouTube and we will post it PLUS give you full credit.

Halo Wars

Alright, this is apparently the next new game from Ensemble Studios.

It looks amazing, let me tell you.

Here is a video:

Halo Wars is a real-time action strategy game for the Xbox 360 that allows the player to control large armies and to shrewdly direct them in realistic warfare. Set early in the iconic war between the Covenant and UNSC – made famous by the Halo FPS games – Halo Wars provides a new angle on the war while bringing new heroes to the battle.

The images below are renders of the units or buildings in-game. Mouse-over each image to see the original concept art. In the weeks and months ahead we will be updating the features page with more information and imagery.
