			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I came across this little table during my work today and was totally blown away. Almost a third of the Top 25 Software Companies (based on revenue) are in the Gaming Industry (<a title="teh source" href="http://www.softwaretop100.org/software-top-100/global-software-top-100-edition-2009" target="_blank">source</a>). It is crazy that people who game are still regarded as Geeks and Social Recluses and there is still no decent Computer Games program here on terestial TV in the UK (whilst Property Porn shows dominate the TVerse (since most Media Execs have invested all their cash in Property and are desperate to artificially prop up a market that has been over-valued for decades&#8230;)). Makes.You.Sick.</p>
<p>&lt;disclosure&gt;I am a PS3, PSP, PC and Wii gamer.&lt;/disclosure&gt;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are many great games out there for both PC and console, but there aren’t as many great free ones. This was all changed with the release of <a title="Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfenstein_enemy_territory">Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory</a>; commonly referred to as ET. ET is a WWII-themed multiplayer first person shooter (FPS). There is no single-player mode, but this is no bad thing, since the multiplayer mode is truly exceptional.</p>
<div id="attachment_45" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.prupert.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/enemy-territory1.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-45" title="enemy-territory1" src="http://www.prupert.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/enemy-territory1.jpg" alt="ET screenie" width="300" height="225" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">ET screenie</p></div>
<p>You join either the axis or the allies, and then choose a class: either Soldier, Medic, Engineer, Field Ops or Covert Ops. Each class has certain unique abilities (Soldiers can use extra-powerful weapons, Medics can revive and heal, Engineers can destroy and repair objectives, Field Ops can call airstrikes and give ammo and Covert Ops can disguise themselves as the enemy). Each map typically has an objective that has to be completed by one of the teams, or sometimes each team has an objective to complete.</p>
<div id="attachment_46" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.prupert.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/screen-et1.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-46" title="screen-et1" src="http://www.prupert.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/screen-et1.jpg" alt="ET screenie" width="300" height="225" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">ET screenie</p></div>
<p>All the game servers are hosted by clans or individuals, meaning they often come with a ready-made community. Despite the game being released in 2003, it is still very popular and has a cult following amongst its regular players.</p>
<p>I play only on one server, those provided by the <a title="Buffalo Bad Ass (BBA) clan" href="http://www.buffalobadass.com/">Buffalo Bad Ass (BBA) clan</a> (of which I am a member). They are generally ranked number one amongst all the ET servers, and are known for having a good friendly bunch of players on.</p>
<p>If you like FPS and multiplayer games, I highly recommend you get your hands on this excellent free game. Head on over to the <a title="BBA forums" href="http://www.buffalobadass.com/forums.html">BBA forums</a> if you need any help to get started, and don’t be put off if you get killed a lot when you first start. We were all noobs once.</p>
<p>The first link below gives you a download for the original installer, it is then worth installing the two additional patches that are also linked.</p>
<p><a title="ET download" href="http://www.download.com/Return-to-Castle-Wolfenstein-Enemy-Territory-full-install-/3000-7565_4-10243510.html">ET download</a><br />
<a title="Update 1" href="http://returntocastlewolfenstein.filefront.com/file/ET_Patch_Windows;39483">Update 1</a><br />
<a title="Update 2" href="http://returntocastlewolfenstein.filefront.com/file/Wolfenstein_Enemy_Territory_260b_Patch_win32;62012">Update 2</a></p>
