The Graveyard is now
available, along with playable demos for the PC and Mac editions of this offbeat
game described like this: "The Graveyard is a very short computer game designed

with storytelling without words." The PC demo is mirrored on
AtomicGamer,
FileFront, Gamer's Hell,
and
PixelRage, while the Mac edition is mirrored on
AtomicGamer,
FileFront, Gamer's Hell,

The splash page on the NovaLogic Website

continues the Delta Force series of tactical shooters. This teaser image has
