Tryst – Meet the Zali faction
Sep 04, 2012
Blue Giant Interactive is a studio based in Hyderabad, India and they are getting set to release a new real time strategy game set in an original science fiction universe.
“Tryst” is the story of man versus machine, as human colonists on a distant planet battle their former allies, the Zali.
[divider]
The Zali are mechanical life forms that arrive on Ishtonia, the planet where Tryst’s “Unwanted Legacies” campaign takes place. Though they look like mechanical insectiods, the Zali are not simply mindless machines but are, in fact, highly evolved beings with a very strict code of ethics.
Playing the Zali means that you will need to rely heavily on the game’s Ethos or Paths mechanic. With three Paths to choose from, each corresponding to a different gameplay style, the Zali can develop in almost any manner they choose.
The Path of Silence emphasizes stealth and mobility upgrades for units, while the Path of Strife considers going on the attack the wisest course of action.
The Path of Preservation is designed for players that prefer to to ‘turtle’ – weather the storm and lie patient, while waiting for their time to strike.
Once they’ve chosen what Path(s) to follow, Zali units can merge with each other to become even more powerful units or even morph into defensive structures to protect the home base. Their mechanic nature makes them very adaptable.
Despite the wealth of options and playstyles available, the Zali are an excellent race for beginners because there are few paths entirely closed off to explore. It takes little time to understand but continue to surprise players at every turn.
Zali Attributes:
- Discipline & Dedication – Choose to focus on a single Ethos path or disperse your available abilities out across multiple disciplines.
- We are One – Merge different Zali units together to create more powerful machines of war.
- No Right Path – Whether you choose to adhere to different Temples or commit completely to one; the abilities and units you choose to use will ensure that there’s never just one way to play the Zali.
- Never Back Down – Just because your enemy got the drop on you once, doesn’t mean they can do it again. Specialized units and even more specific upgrades, ensure you have an answer for just about anything. The Zali are a race of counterunits waiting to be evolved.
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Review
Sep 03, 2012
In the 13-year lifespan of the Counter-Strike series, it has been one of the most popular games on PC, namely the Steam platform exclusively. The four official releases following its mod status for Half-Life in 1999 helped set the world on fire with its unique elimination gameplay and unparalleled competition. Does Global Offensive re-ignite the spark that Source lost?

How to Install DayZ Mod for Non-Steam Versions of ArmA II
Aug 31, 2012
Introduction
So you bought a non-Steam version of ArmA II? Installing the alpha version of DayZ is no easy task, as it is an alpha. This guide should help those who bought through Retail, Bohemia Interactive’s store, or GOG.com (the version this guide is based on).
To be clear, DayZ mod requires ArmA II: Combined Operations which contains ArmA II and the expansion pack, ArmA II: Operation Arrowhead. You could also use ArmA 2 Free + Operation Arrowhead to play DayZ, but it isn’t recommended (via DayZ Wiki)
I’ll be covering the GOG.com version of the game, but it will apply to the other Non-Steam Versions of ArmA II to help get DayZ installed.
