For Star Wars nuts only, with a side helping of braaaaaaaiiins

Obsessive compulsive Star Wars fans will find lots to love at the Starwars Combine, a free, wonderfully complex browser-based massively multiplayer online game set in the Star Wars universe. Make a character and start down your career path – smuggler, merchant, soldier, whatever. There are over 4000 planets in the galaxy and you can fly among them, explore their surfaces, found cities, engage in warfare, hunt pirates, join factions and fight for the empire or rebels, and more. It’s really pretty amazing what they’ve packed into this game, in many ways it puts Sony’s big budget Star Wars Galaxies massively multiplayer game to shame, and the hardware requirements are lower, it will work on your mac or Linux box, and it’s free. Check it out if browser games are your cup of tea. And if they are but you’re intimidated by how complex the Star Wars Combine is, check out Urban Dead, the superb online Zombie game, which is simple yet engaging and fun. I’m Bubba Jones, Fireman, currently barricaded in the Bristol Building in Chudelyton if you make a character – come look me up, err, unless you’re a zombie that is.
