Blast one million of your best buds

  • User Rating: Excellent
  • Sound:
  • Learning Curve:
  • Replay Value:
  • Graphics:
Pros:Outstanding Graphics, Great Team-play tactics, cool drones
Cons:Learning Curve that might take newbies to the genre a few hours to master, outrageous subscription price ($10=one month, $79=one year), sometimes the multiplayers can be a bit unfriendly and believe in revenge.

If you have been paying much attention to the computer gaming magazines, you have seen that 10SIX has not gotten the reviews any game would hope for. As far as the reviews go, I strongly disagree with everyone of them. If you don't know what the latest rave on 10SIX is, let me inform you:
- 10SIX stands for 10 to the 6th power which equals 1,000,000. One million is the goal for the amount of online gamers HEAT.net wants signed up for 10SIX.
- Each new player that joins 10SIX gets to pick out a piece of land they would like to inhabit and build their base on. Overall there is one million hunks of rock that are available for building.
- As you register, sign up, and download the required software that is needed to play this game, you get to pick what they call a "CORPORATION" (CORP). There are four different CORPs, each one with special abilaties as far as technology, gear, modifiers, buildings, and weapons go. Then, you get to pick the face of your AVATAR (the character you will be the entire length of the game, which varies for how long of a subscription you purchase after your 14 day free trial). After all of that, you pick out your block of land, a unique feature in the game is that every block of land has different terrain.
- Once you stake claim to your territory you begin to build a base with the help of a voice instructional system. After you are done building your base, you are free to teleport freely from one block to another.

I want to make it clear that in no way am I associated with Heat.net or 10six.com besides the fact that I am a registered member of 10six and Heat.net and I enjoy playing their games. I am not an official of anykind in the world of gaming other than I like to give my honest opinion about games I like and or dislike. And in my honest opinion, this game deserves a better rep than it has been getting.
It has easily the best graphics an entirely online game could have. With many members in different factions it is easy to make online buddies, or enemies, but all the same everyone is there for one reason and one reason alone... to have fun. I guess the only way to know the truth about this game is to try it out yourself, it has a 14 day free-trial period. If interested, go to: www.10six.com and hit "play now" and hit the "download software" icons that pop-up. Take your time and don't rush through everything, it is truly, a lot-o-good wholesome fun.
