This download is a collection of mods which completely overhaul the game's visuals, giving it a sleeker, more refined look compared to the vanilla game. What once looked dated is now far more visually impressive than Oblivion or Fallout 3, with lush vegetation and vibrant colors abounding.

The download includes the mod's data files as well as a comprehensive guide covering all aspects of installation. You can get assistance, as well as look at all of the mods included and the installation guide before downloading, at the compendium's official website.

It's amazing that no other PC game creator has made a game like this before because when you think about it you realize that it should have been made a long time ago. Indie game developer Thom Robertson has created and released Artemis Spaceship Bridge Simulator, which finally lets you bring out your inner Captain Kirk.

The full game lets you truly command a space ship sent out to defend some space stations from an invading alien force. The kicker? The game is set up so that one person is the "captain" who barks orders at all the other live human players who have their PCs linked up so they can take on different ship roles like Helm Control, Communications, Weapons and more. It's designed to be played in a LAN-like setting, not over the Internet. The full game costs $60 but it's also fully refundable which is a rarity in the PC games industry.

We apologize for this feature's delay -- chalk it up to Coyote having his way with things. Coyote's Tale: Fire and Water, by publisher Merscom, is not the average Hidden Object game, though it looks like one on the surface. While it does still offer the same basic gameplay that most games of this type do, there is an extra mechanic at work that provides a bit more interest than one would normally expect from the genre.

The basic premise is this: While on vacation "in what would one day be called Mexico", two sisters named Tletl and Atl take shelter from the rain in a nearby Aztec temple. While there, they are accosted by a man calling himself Max, who is later revealed to be Macuilxochitl, the god of games and gambling, and Coyote, the classical trickster god. Now, aside from the fact that I don't recall Coyote being a part of the Aztec pantheon, the two engage the sisters in helping them restore balance to the world by challenging the gods themselves.

Welcome to a special Mac Monday, as this time around I take a look at the new-to-the-Mac Warhammer Online. Now, there are a few ways to go about this. I could write this up for people who have never played an MMO before, but it's likely that if you're reading this blog, you're probably well-versed in the genre. I could write it for people who haven't played World of Warcraft yet, but again, if you care at all about Warhammer Online, it's going to be because you want to know how it stacks up against the reigning champion.

Then you have my particular point of view, which is as someone who's played WoW a bit, but not to the point of intimate familiarity with all mechanics -- I've done no PvP, I don't raid, and I've never made it past Level 30 wtih any of the numerous characters I've rolled. So this article will assume enough familiarity with the competing titles -- and make no mistake, they are in competition -- to make certain comparisons, which is at this point an inevitability.

This week's Mac Monday title, Mystic Emporium by Merscom, might seem at first blush to be a simple copy of the previously-covered Miriel, the Mystic Merchant, but fortunately, it does iterate a bit on the gameplay, offering a bit more for the money. Add to that a quirky art style and better animation, more item options, and a rudimentary budget system, and it's a great next game for those who enjoyed Miriel.

For this week's Mac Monday, we bring you a little light and light-hearted RPG from Hanako Games, the folks who gave us Spirited Heart, and Cute Knight Deluxe, both previously featured games right here on MM. What do all three games have in common? First of all, they're all anime-influenced to a certain degree -- character designs, dating sim-like play, steadfast goofiness. Second of all, they're all different takes on the RPG genre. And third of all, they're just too adorable.

Science Girls! is more of a standard RPG than the other two featured games. Fans of the genre will immediately feel at home with the interface and leveling style. What may surprise you about SG!, however, is its approachable silliness and gentle humor. Hell, you might even learn a thing or two! Read on for some science!

Today we're taking a look at Virtual Families, by Last Day of Work. Unfortunately, that name is sadly contradictory to my experience with playing this game, as it was nothing but work the entire time. This game wants to be the indie alternative to The Sims, but it suffers by comparison in many ways.

First of all, you're asked to "adopt" a starting person, choosing one based on the starting characteristics of Age, Gender, Profession, Salary, Likes and Dislikes, and the odd Wants kids? trait. I say "odd" because although it's listed as a trait, even two characters who don't initially want children can be forced to have them; it's part and parcel of the title. This game really wants you to manage a whole family.

Hey, another two-fer Mac Monday for your enjoyment! How I do dote on you all. This time around, we're looking at Pixie, a game that surprises with how addictive it is, and Rubber Ninjas, a game that surprises with what a waste of time it is. So, surprises all 'round, then! Find out the hows and whys after the jump!

This week we continue the meta-ness we started last week with our review of CrossOver Games. Today we're talking about Parallels for Mac 4.0.

In contrast to CrossOver Games, which just handles PC gaming on the Mac, Parallels offers the full Windows virtualization experience. This means that you get to install whichever version of Windows you prefer, all the way back to Win 98 if you'd like. This also means that there are certain trade-offs in play that mitigate against your using Parallels to play your PC games. The worst of these being that you can't really use Parallels to play your PC games. What am I talking about? Read on to find out!

Today's Mac Monday is a two-fer. We're taking a look at Brainpipe, by Shrapnel Games, and Ranch Rush, by Big Fish Games. These two games could not be more different from each other, and thus, make the perfect two to base a two-fer around.

Essentially, Brainpipe is a flying journey through your brain's convolutions, rendered into trippy, hallucinogenic colors. Ranch Rush is a farm management simulator. Both games are fairly addictive, and both are inexpensively priced. What's it all about, Alfie? Read on to discover the hideous secret!
