For those having a keen interest in online and multiplayer games, NASA is slashing out the perfect recipe for one hell of an exploration ride on the charred lunar surface. Moonbase Alpha developed with Unreal 3 game engine is a massive multiplayer online game that puts you in the shoes of a NASA astronaut teaming up with at-most 6 other players in LAN or online gameplay. Taking the lead you’ll have to show expansive skills in coordinating, communicating, and of-course expanding the lunar colony that is a bit crippled by meteoroid attack.
