http://www.galaxy-news.net Browser Based Online Games, Multiplayer Web Gaming & PBBGs en This is one of our biggest updates of the summer, and it's one that we have been working very hard on for a while now. We present to you the Frontlines, a new twist on training and leveling far different from your ordinary grind. http://www.galaxy-news.net/content/278_everonia_releases_the_frontlines_html We are very happy to announce that the new IndustryPlayer Version 6 is officially released. http://www.galaxy-news.net/content/279_industryplayer_6_released_html Many people learn second languages. In school, at university or even for a new job, but when Doug, the current developer took over Tycoon Online, it was all Swedish and he had to learn parts of the language to better understand the code. It was well worth doing this as his baby appears to be one of the stars of the persistent browser-based business simulation games. http://www.galaxy-news.net/content/276_quot_when_i_took_over_the_game_everything_was_in_swedish_quot_html It is time again for some brandnew features on http://footiecup.co.uk .

This may sound like a crazy idea, but this level of freedom is not impossible. Difficult and time consuming, yes, but not impossible. Perhaps through this post and the discuss to follow afterward, we will think of a more efficient way than I may describe in this investigation of the subject. http://www.galaxy-news.net/content/266_player_controlled_economies_and_player_created_items_quests_html Award winning studio sodigital, the creator of Arthic, is happy to invite all readers to join the beta test for their latest fantasy MMORPG Gilfor's Tales. http://www.galaxy-news.net/content/271_gilfor_039_s_tales_invites_all_readers_to_beta_test_html May 29th's launch of the Weewar forums went smoothly and we have seen hundreds of new posts in the first 24h alone. Seems like there was a big need and we are very happy to have adressed it. http://www.galaxy-news.net/content/270_the_new_weewar_forums_are_live_html You might have already noticed that besides covering the most important games we certainly like to tell you more about new high-quality games in the browser based gaming scene.

Both companies will hold 35 percent of the share. CEO Heiko Hubertz will reinvest his share of the sale to retain 30 percent of the company. http://www.galaxy-news.net/content/267_gmt_and_nbc_universal_take_over_bigpoint_html Most of us have already become used to the official licensed games Electronic Arts is releasing season after season, such as FIFA Football, FIBA Basketball or Madden NFL. Bigpoint now seized a chance and is the first browser based game developer to secure an official license for the FIBA Basketball World Championship including all names, brands, teams and rules... meaning the hobby basketball player can put on the shoes of his favorite stars, and vie for a spot in the rankings on FIBA.com. http://www.galaxy-news.net/content/265_you_re_an_all_star_html Finally after months of hard work, Majestica, a new Browser-based RPG is ready for players!
