Renegade X: Black Dawn Available Now
El_Funko - Monday, January 30, 2012
Everyone has a favourite game from back in the day that they want to see re-released using one of today’s game engines.
What if Freelancer was released as an MMO? Why isn’t there a Jedi Knight game on the Wii? Why doesn’t someone re-make Command & Conquer: Renegade using the power of the Unreal Engine 3 and release it as a free download?
If you thought that last one sounded a bit too specific, then that’s because I’m a terrible writer and it was the best way I could think to announce that Renegade X: Black Dawn is now available to download and play as a free, standalone game.
Renegade X began as an Unreal Tournament 3 mod recreating the awesome gameplay from C&C: Renegade and has been in development since 2009. Renegade X sees the Global Defense Initiative and the Brotherhood of Nod going at it with their usual arsenals; stealth tanks, Orca aircraft, Mammoth tanks, commando’s packed with C4 and gatling guns. Check out the trailer below to see the game in action.
You can grab the 3.9GB client install from 3FL entirely quota-free for iiNet, Westnet and Netspace customers.
Head over to the Renegade X website for more info.
C&C 4 – Tiberian Twilight

I love the beta of this game. I’m massive C&C fan .. hell I’ve been playing Westwood RTS’s since Dune 2. This is a complete deviation from the standard resource mining and base building effort though. Remember RA3? Remember how it sucked hard? C&C4 takes all the suck from RA3, spits on it and then sets it on fire.
I’m not going to go into a lot of detail here, but suffice it to say the multiplayer (once properly balanced and stabilised) is going to be mad. All the cheap tank rushing tactics are easily countered, and it’s impossible to completely eliminate an opponent until the end of a match.
The game is due out in March, but if you can get hold of a beta key I highly recommend having a go.
