Battlefield 1942 free until 1 March 2013

By X. Y. Zeng On November 6, 2012 · 1 Comment

The first game of the Battlefield series is now free to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the game. Not merely a demo, it is a full game. Get it now while you can! According to the FAQ, this game cannot be played with people who own the CD-version of the game, so even more reason to […]

Faster than Light on a Netbook

By X. Y. Zeng On October 26, 2012 · Leave a Comment

Here at Netbookist, I take pride in helping my readers. So here’s something from the get-go: Faster than Light will not display properly on netbooks that do not support at least a 1280×720 resolution.

Future patches might change it, but as of now, you’re stuck with either playing it on an external display or a different […]

Hitman: Contracts on a netbook

By X. Y. Zeng On August 19, 2012 · 1 Comment

The third installation in the Hitman series, Hitman: Contracts is one of the most difficult games to rate. On one hand, it plays exactly like a Hitman game, with all missions requiring you to kill someone, and perhaps retrieve stuff. On the other, it doesn’t seem to be […]

Uplink: Hacker Elite on a netbook

By X. Y. Zeng On August 15, 2012 · 1 Comment

Uplink is a very unique game. Even up until today, there hasn’t been a game this similar to Uplink, and it has been over ten years…

It’s hard to classify this game. In a sense, it’s a game where you take on the role as a hacker, using programs to crack passwords, your wits to […]

Transport Giant Gold 2012 on a netbook

By X. Y. Zeng On August 1, 2012 · Leave a Comment

Recently, I’ve been hooked on transport management games. I played Cities in Motion, a game where you have to manage the public transport system in different cities such as Berlin, Helsinki and Tokyo. Interestingly, in that game, people in Tokyo drive on the right, while streets in Berlin look more North American than European.

That […]

Is it too... wide? (That's not what she said)

Is Netbookist too wide for your netbook?

By X. Y. Zeng On July 27, 2012 · 7 Comments

HI!

Just wanted to ask my loyal readers whether netbookist.com is too wide for their netbooks, so much so that you get a horizontal scrollbar.

On my netbook, I don’t have such a problem, but a kind reader has mentioned that he has such a problem on his netbook. I currently use a 1024×600 resolution […]

FREE: Commandos 3: Destination Berlin from 21 to 22 June

By X. Y. Zeng On June 21, 2012 · Leave a Comment

No time to describe what the game is about. I’m not even sure if it’s anything like the original Commandos. All I know is that Greenman Gaming is offering it free for twenty-four hours starting 11am GMT.

Get it now while it lasts!

Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 on a netbook

By X. Y. Zeng On May 10, 2012 · 2 Comments

Holy mother of addictive god. As if Lords of the Realm 2 isn’t extremely addictive already, I recently installed Rollercoaster Tycoon 2, and these two games have been keeping my neck strained as I hunch down to look at my netbook […]

Crappy screenshot? Sorry - I can't seem to take pictures in Windows mode without getting the colours all garbled.

Lords of the Realm II on a netbook

By X. Y. Zeng On May 1, 2012 · 1 Comment

 

I have often triumphed a truth about games – good graphics, great sound and a great storyline is nice to have, but these elements don’t make the game. There are games out there which you play once, and then never play it again, until, perhaps, nostalgia hits you, and then there are games out […]
