Yes Aquaria is a beautiful game. I bought it for my daughter earlier this year. she loves it. Though I've only explored a little of it myself as I never have time to finish one game before I buy another.

THANKS, when I went to download this, there were a couple other games listed to try and I clicked on Aquaria. I could jump out of your screen and hug you! The game is only a demo but not timed. Beautiful you could spend all day looking around forgetting to play. My niece is downloading it right now and her laptop is here many wkends. and I can't wait to just explore. It's raining maybe I can talk them into going to Wally World for sunscreen?!

Thanks Wizz, missed this one. Haven't been able to get to the forums much over the last few days.

I didn't realize this game was free. I suggested it as a future giveaway some time ago. Well over a year ago. I suppose a lot changes over a year, lol:

I'm glad it's free.

Today's game is a survival sim/strategy game titled Notrium. In Notrium, you can play as one of four races: human, alien, cyborg, or psionic. The whole point of the game is to survive by collecting food, fending off enemies, and surviving the environments. The following is a review by TeeGee via the TIGsource forum:

This was one of the games that got me heavily into indie scene. It shows that there are some incredible concepts out there, that no large company will ever tackle, but that can be very successful in hands of dedicated independent developers.

The game descriptions says it all – you are crashed on a distant and hostile planet and your goal is to survive. From that point, it’s all up to you and your ability to come up with quick solutions in MacGuyver’s fashion.
You will set camps, collect food, assemble items and create weapons to defend yourself. You will get caught by the night in the jungle, hoping to get to the safety of your camp before the carnivores start their hunt. You will try to survive a trip to the sun-scorched desert, jumping from shadow to shadow to escape the deadly heat, knowing there’s an abandoned base nearby that might hold valuable resources.
And all that in a pure sand-boxy manner. You always feel like everything depends on your creativity and planning. There’s no set scenario that binds you in any way.

Notrium is also increbibly replayable with multiple endings, partially random map, and with several drastically different ‘races’ you can play. For example – you can be a carnivorous, fast-evolving alien and start your own brood on the planet. You can be a cyborg that requires energy to live but doesn’t need food. Or you can even try playing a mystical psionic creature that can’t use tools, but utilizes magical powers gotten in a way of self-discovery.
On the top of that – the game is very mod friendly and several nice addons were made. Including a popular full rework that makes Notrium even harder and skews it towards an RPG with character development.

Notrium is really great and any indie gamer should at least give it a try. The game does look a bit dated by today’s standard, but it’s still one of the most unique and enjoyable experiences you can have on your PC.
Just don’t expect to survive more than few minutes of your first try :).

The game is really hard at first, but you should catch on after awhile. I definitely recommend giving this one a shot.

Niloy, start with upgrading your display drivers.
First, go to http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html

Pick your OS - Probably 32bit XP or Vista (you didn't say which) - then "Integrated/Motherboard" - then "Radeon Xpress 200M" - that will take you to the driver download page.

Card name: ATI RADEON XPRESS 200M Series
Chip type: ATI Radeon Xpress Series (0x5A62)
this is the info i got from the driver box and i downloaded the opengl and how do i download the opengl driver there is no link

You may also need to download OpenGl which is freely available. Just google it and you'll get plenty of hits.

http://www.freedownloadscenter.com/Utilities/Required_Files/OpenGL_Download.html

make sure your pop up blocker is enables. You can get drivers specific to whatever graphics card or on board chip (to find out what you have use the method Bubby has mentioned above)

http://www.driver-downloads.com/open-gl-driver.htm

If the second link is confusing, just post back as there are loads of guys who are pretty knowlegeable on this.

I had the same problem with a game recently, so just downloaded what appeared to be the latest software and it fixed the problem.

As always before installing this type of software create a restore point just in case something untowards happens. (perish the thought)

What video card is installed in your PC? (If you have no idea how to tell - Click on Start -> Run then type 'DXDIAG' (without the quotes) and press enter.

This will run the "DirectX Diagnostic Tool" - after it loads - you can click on the "Display" tab - then look for the "Device" box. The "Name" and "Chip Type" should tell you what Video card/chip is installed in your PC.

The Two main manufacturers of 3D Video cards are ATI and nVidia. There are other types though.

ok i downlaoded Alien Arena and installed it then when i try to run it it says

Couldn't initialize OpenGL renderer!
Update your video drivers and be sure opengl is enabled!

can anyone help i have no idea what it means
THX

No idea - you could try and post your question in the game forums and see if one of the other gamers who are more familiar with the game (or the developers) know why it is crashing.
