Games: DOTA, Gunz & RayCrash
DOTA
A new map is here v6.10. For starters, a new hero & Faceless Void remake.
The new scourge Hero (Invoker) is fun to play. He's like the ultimate caster boasting of 27 spells! Yeah, you heard that right, 27 spells. But you can only use one at a time. (Here's a tip Guinsoo-Chaos Meteor-Firebolt combo rules!)
Gunz Online
I just found out that network code for Gunz International SUCKS! there's no central server to synchronize battle operations (movement, shoot/slash/locus points and even items) So you connect & send network messages to all users you are playing with. (Talk about lag, a resource hog and very prone to hacking!) That's why they clearly state that Gunz Beta does not yet support NAT/Firewall setups.
But I still like the game tho' :) And I've read that this is not the same w/ Korean server, so most probably after the beta this will not be an issue.
RayCrash
Here's an upcoming hit online game...RayCrash. A Mech Battle Online action game. Check it out at http://www.raycrash.net.sg/

Some local organization should really push online games development here in the philippines. We've got the right designers & animators, talented programmers & enough user base. (Well, VCs are another story) :P
