Requires some kind of registration at their website where they send you a serial number. When I entered my info, it said my email was invalid and I could go no further. Unable to use the software, uninstalled.

Why are they showing Guild Wars ?.. they do NOT have an audio chat... you have to provide your own. Viz, Skype and Ventrilo. Also, since it is strictly for ingame chat, it's usefulness is limited... Pass.

AV VoizGame is not something that's limited to game chat -- it works with your audio input, provides a 10 band equalizer, & lets you change timbre & pitch graphically. It includes a recorder, a player, can save presets, & provides it's own Virtual Audio Driver -- you can use either hook mode or that driver. Additionally you can play background audio -- 15 small .wav files are included [e.g. waterfall.wav or thunder.wav] or you can use your own .wav files. Long story short it's a software equivalent of plugging in a FX box between your mic [or other input/line-in] & your PC/laptop. [I don't know if AV Voizgame &/or its virtual audio driver can provide any sort of solution for those who cannot record speaker out -- I'm waiting on a USB audio device I've ordered so I can maybe test that sort of thing in a VM where my audio hardware will not interfere.]

Installation isn't bad for software that adds a driver. Note that adding any driver can have sometimes serious consequences, since Windows loads drivers while it's starting up, & if something doesn't work right, Windows won't start. That said I was able to delete AV VoizGame's driver [vcsvad.sys] & Windows didn't mind, started right up without problems, which means IMHO you're unlikely to have any problems, & if you do, it's easier to correct by just deleting that file [you'll find it in Windows\ System32\ Drivers]. Being able to just delete the driver file is also a good thing, as the default Auto Uninstall doesn't. The program's folder includes a Driver sub-folder with setup for 32 & 64 bit Windows.

Universal Extractor doesn't work with the Wise setup package, so I don't know what's included [I like to check because if the Windows where I'm testing already has something installed, it won't show up comparing before/after snapshots]. The AV VoizGame program folder holds 52 files, 10 folders, & takes up ~10 MB. Installing *Just for me*, the default, a new Avnex folder was added to User Applicatio Data that holds ~9 MB in 20 files, 5 folders -- it's where settings & background .wav files are stored [it's also left behind by the default uninstall]. I recorded 439 new registry entries, but roughly half of those are garbage, like muicache. Resource usage isn't bad, but this isn't something you'd likely want running when you're not using it on slower PCs/laptops -- it shows a constant ~10% CPU in the XPMode VM using 1 core of an AMD quad. While I haven't performed much of any testing, AV VoizGame will run without its included driver installed. Registration is super easy -- you visit the URL included in the GOTD Readme.txt file, enter a name & e-mail address, type in the matching letters/numbers [for one of the more readable Captcha dialogs I've seen], & your serial number's displayed, right then, right there.

Verified with the in-house WOW fan, changing your voice in-game has a somewhat high lame quotient. OTOH you might feel that's still better than using your own voice -- it's hard to build up cred if you sound like a 10 year old, & girls/women I think often don't want to give away their gender on-line & especially in-game. If you've got one of those PCs/laptops that does not allow you to record speaker out, it might be worth it to you to test AV VoizGame & its driver -- VoizGame itself can be turned on/off while still running, &/or you don't have to use it to change anything. If you do recording [or want to], that equalizer might come in handy too. And there's nothing I can see that would limit what apps or services you can use it with.

Today’s giveaway should appeal to online gamers. I’ll certainly be trying it out when I next play Left 4 Dead or ArmA II, it sounds like it’ll add some fun to the online chat (we used TeamSpeak), though I won’t be able to give an opinion of it in time for today’s giveaway. It’s not the sort of giveaway that you can test on yourself. :)

Unfortunately there is no Game giveaway this weekend, however Chazzo and Myself have posted some great games over the past few weeks, some of which were originally commercial games that have either been given away by their developers or become abandonware.
There’s a really good tycoon game called Ski Resort Tycoon, a gorgeously illustrated adventure game called Les Misérables, A professionally made top down shooter called Steel Storm: Episode 1. (The developer has released three in the series and decided to give the first one away, an updated RPG called Battle for Wesnoth, a futuristic and superfast racing game with missiles and guns called Rollcage, a series of Jill of the Jungle platform games (these are DOS based games that may require the use of DOSBox), a couple more shooters called A Stitch in Time and Light the Way plus a puzzle action shmup called Protractor (these are all on the same page and can be found by clicking on the Light the Way link, you’ll also find a long list of games in the same post we are planning to post over the coming weeks). There’s a really good platformer with great graphics called Privates, a set of Rubik Cube puzzles called The Ultimate Magic Cube and a DOS based puzzle game called Clone. On the next page you’ll find even more quality freebies such as Aces High over Verlor Island and Blue Max 3D two excellent aircraft shooters, an evolution game called Evolites, plus several more games which I’ll just list: Dirchie Kart, Armoured Brigade, Jigsaw (puzzle Platformer), Flight Gear (Updated recently), a series of Sci Fi adventure games called 1213 episodes 1,2 & 3, Greymatter, Iffermoon, Hitchhikers Guide, 3D StarStrike and finally another freebie from Good Old Games (GOG) called Dragonsphere (a point and click fantasy adventure game.

I'll post a link to the games discussion forums in the next post just in case the spam filter throws it out. :)

If I don't have any ("compatible") games installed, are there any features I can use?
