    Project Powder

    Saw this game posted on another forum and wondered if anyone has played it or heard about it (it's an online snowboarding game). Watched the trailer on their site and it seems pretty sweet. Gonna test it out.

    Well, downloaded it and played a few games.

    Pros:
    -Controls very simple
    -Tracks are very elaborately designed
    -Game mode with weapons, essentially a lesser Mario Kart but with snow boards
    -Coin mode isn't just hit all the coins you can, some change into coins that take away points
    -Tricks are learned in a skill tree
    -Can use currency you earn from playing to buy different gear/accessories for a 7day or 30day usage
    -GUI is a Windows style desktop (pro for me)

    Cons:
    -Need a 1.6GHz CPU minimum, so lower spec systems can't play (mine just reaches the min. CPU)
    -Chat channels aren't populated much unless you join "crew" (clan) channels

    Overall, it's a fun game that is still in open beta, so a few kinks need to be worked out. I would recommend it to people just because online snowboarding games are so rare.

    what the fuck do I do with the ores?

    and none of the gear actually does any of the enhancements they say they do when I buy them
