Japanese freegame creators have done it again. Silver Knights is yet another shining example of how a game that is free does not have to be below standard. Silver Knights is a 3D mech game that pits you against other mechanical beasts. The game has a story and arcade mode and plenty of gameplay options. Starting a game is simple, choose your team, pick one of the seven mechs and jump in to one of the ten arenas available. Add to that the ability to customize your robots and you've got a pretty much complete game.The visual effects in Silver Knights are impressive and show how much can be accomplished even on a scarce budget. Controls and movement are simple yet efficient while the sound effects are the right ones for the action.
Overall Silver Knights is not a game to be missed.The latestversion (v0.05D) adds 5 new maps to the game. These are: Training Room, Tatami Room, Japanese Residence, Ocean Floor and Mountains
Note:
According to the developers, the AI is not yet ready on the Tatami Room, Japanese Residence and Mountains maps.

My head was in the clouds when I posted this. As Wizzard of Oz points out below, I only posted this earlier this week. Still, I thought I may as well leave it in situ. :)
Santa Claus in Trouble (9.87Mb)
Santa Claus in Trouble is a multilingual(10 languages), 10 level, 3D platform game in which you play Santa and must retrieve all the lost Christmas presents and find the way back to your sleigh in order to save Christmas. It's not easy finding and getting all those presents because there are many obsticles in your way. Some of these include trolls, mean snowmen, moving platforms and chimney fires. Even at times; just jumping from platform to platform can be dificult and it is a Looong way down! There are checkpoints along the way, so if you die you will restart at the last checkpoint that you reached. At the end of each level your score is calculated and based upon total number of presents collected and the amount of time remaining. The game keeps track of your 10 top scores but, the online score keeper is no longer available.
With its lively Christmas tunes and holiday sound effects, Santa Claus in Trouble is certain to get anyone into the holiday spirit. The screen shots don't do this game justice. The graphics are superb! There is not a whole lot in the options department but the config.txt file makes up for this. The in game options consist of music and sound voulume controls, controller type and language. The only thing that this game is lacking is a save game feature. There are three annoying exit screens with ads for their other games, but if you exit by pressing Alt+F4 these will not appear.
Configuring the Game:
The configuation file called "config.txt" can be opened just by double-clicking on it and has the following default values:
Resolution 800 600 (any resolution your system can handle)
Bitdepth 16 (should be 16 or 32)
Fullscreen 1 (use a 0 to run in a window)
Language 0
UseFog 1 (can be 0 or 1)
Controller 0
Music 85
SFX 100
All the items above without parentheses (brackets) can be set in the options menu.
