New Games: War Command, and Great Green Galaxy G

We've added two new games to the site since the last post.

War Command
"Your war machine is on the march as you try to conquer every city in the world... "
A real-time strategy wargame of conquest.
Graphics, animation, sound, music. Quick to pickup and fast responses to user input.

Great Green Galaxy G
"The fate of a galaxy is in the hands of a young woman who is unaware, understandably, of her impact on future history so you travel back in time to guide her actions in an adventure across space and alternate dimensions..."
A sci-fi/fantasy interactive fiction game.
A pure text-only UI, like reading a story except you are sometimes presented with decisions to make or choices to make, as you guide the main character and the flow of the narrative. Very fast playing and instantaneous responses to user commands.

And for the sake of completeness, we'll mention again the game we already had up:
Dead By Zombie
"Zombies invade your town! Can you survive, escape and stop the zombie menace?"
This uses Rogue-like engine mechanics, and therefore has a kind of turn-based gameplay that can be described as "you-go, the-world-reacts, you-go, the-world-reacts, ..." which gives a vibe that encourages more think-before-you-move than a RT game, while also giving a faster and more nimble feel than traditional turn-based games. The UI is also Rogue-like, but takes advantage of web-isms like form buttons to ensure you don't have to remember any arcane keyboard commands. You can play entirely with the mouse! This game has the steepest learning curve of the three, but the most to learn and discover.

Both of the two new games are playable today, though they are works in progress, NOT in any sort of final, frozen form. We'll be expanding and improving all of them over time, in iterations.

All of these can be played for free if you signup as a Beta Tester. The only real catch is that we ask that you give feedback in order to help us make the games better, and the site overall. You can learn more about this, and signup, on the site. Here's a shortcut to the page that deals with that:

That's it!
