Onder in Midian City
It worked so well with Iris' grid-wide fashion tour, let's try it with NWN game columnist Onder Skall: what are the great, uncovered SL-based games that Onder should play and review for New World Notes next? Here's a full list of games that have already been featured on NWN; barring exceptions as ambitious as the FFVII-inspired Midgar, our preference is for entirely original games.
Post titles, post descriptions, post links to screenshots and related sites, post SLURLs for finding them in-world! If any sound particularly promising, I'll highlight them in a front page update, to encourage readers to check them out while Onder does.
I think Onder should trundle down to The Wastelands and play scavenging with the locals ... as soon as the devs have fixed the system which the last update borked, that is. Free-form RPG style: pick up bits of random junk, combine them into weapons, status symbols, more complex ingredients ... or just go head to head with someone in the trap-laden Arena of doom!

If you ask me, Onder has to check out the basketball game in ballers city. Either he plays a game of horse, pics teammates to play 3 on 3 or shoots some 3-pointers with a burning ball - would be interested what he thinks!

And only now, like a true dumb-ass, do I bother to check the backlist and see that Onder already gave The Wastelands a glowing (radioactive?) thumbs-up. Well, you can't fault a guy for evangelising about his home, now can you?

Maybe check out the SL militaries... nothing political, but the actual fights and training involved. Especially the Merczateers and the Alliance Navy.
