Project Torque? No... Project Torment!!!

Well a lot of new games are making themselves present free of charge online. So basically, you can download the game and play it online all for free!!

Now, which self respecting gamer can resist such an offer?

And I am self respecting gamer.

So, any new game such as this, is immediatly found out through the geek community and downloaded.

These games always feature something that is not present in the free version which gives the user who pays an advantage.

This is a logical step, so its accepted, you can't ask for everything.

But, out of this free online game genre, a few games have come and stood out.

The first game that I considered excellent for free was Trackmania Nations. This is a simple and yet competitive game with good graphics and is suitable to be run on any PC. Very simple and addictive, it was awesome.

Then the next game I liked was GUNZ. This was actually quite difficult to aquire since, a lot of people in India cannot play it mainly due to ISP problems. And suprisingly Hathway actually had no problems. Making this the one and only time that I did not regret getting Hathway. This game also featured good graphics, online playablity and was quite good. Any FPS fan would really love this game. 

Then, recently Project Torque was reccomended to me by my friend. Would this also fall under the genre of online games that I absolutely adore and are for free!!!

Well, I wouldn't know, I never actually finished downloading it.

Why?

Well, first of all, the website requires you to download the 970mb file for installation. 

(I thought, "Well, thats quite large, but what the hell, lets clear up some space")

So, I did clear space on my comp for it and put it on download. 

After waiting patiently for 2 days and 2 nights. The download finally got done. 

I proceded to immediatly install the file. 

But, as I wanted to install the file, it reported. Not enough space to install the game. "Huh? not enough space? How much does it need to install?" Well... upon further inspection, I realize that the game require 3.5gb! of free space. 

So, I grumble and pains takingly burn a dvd, clear some space and finally install the damn file.

Then I run it. 

But does it run? 

Of course not! Things never run smoothly for me.

It immediatly says that it needs to update the file. So, I say okay.

Thinking how much could it possibly need to update? maybe a couple of mb? 

Hooo... boy... I sure was wrong. It required 350 mb!!!

Well, I crunch my teeth and grumble somemore and put it on download again. 

2 bars show up.

One bar shows 10% and the second bar scrolls from left to right. 

But, the update is not as fast as the initial download was so,

4 frustrating nights and days later, the game finally painstakingly completes the download.

"Yay!! Finally!!" I said to myself, overjoyed.

"I can finally play the game!! Yay!!!"

Then, the unthinable happens. The second bar goes from 10% to 12% and the remaining amount of data to download shifts from 0 mb to 420 mb!! 

Apparently it was the second update...

I just shut the update and erased its existance from the computer, leaving no trace of its previous existance whatsoever.

So much for that game, and good riddance!!

On a side note:
