I recently asked around in the WCReplays forums if someone has developed an "advanced AI" mod for Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne that's also compatible with the recent 1.23 patch. Well, someone did. Below are videos of me playing against the Advanced Melee AI, which is being developed by someone named "Strategy Master":

All your base are belong to them.
This is a month late but for those of you who haven't noticed, the guys at Ufoai.sourceforge.net have released the March updates for their freeware strategy game a while back. The current version that's being dissected AND reverse-engineered at their operating table now has base attack!
Let me say that again: UFO: Alien Invasion, the Quake 2-powered freeware strategy game that's trying to bring back the X-Com gameplay from the days of yore, now has BASE ATTACK!
Yep, according to this Internet celebrity, they are. They are now belong to them. (Image from the AYBABTU Wiki entry)* Lots and lots of UI updates, fixes and reorganisation, including market, transfer, lost/won, alien containment, base attack and other menu updates.
* Campaign mode fixes, including alien campaign fixes.
* Further widescreen support improvements.
* Various battlescape fixes, including inventory, soldier and firemode selection.
* In battlescape it is now possible to shoot over single crouched actor.
* A bit more threading in various components.
* Geoscape fixes and updates, including a crash when destroying an installation, merged base and installation controls, default base name fix, max installation count limited to 3*(working base count), mail system fixes, message option updates and fixes to interception path calculation.
* Map fixes and updates, including some work on alien base map.
* Updates to translations, including initial Korean translation.
* LUA AI fixes, including a memleak fix.
* Many fixes to the new pathfinding.
* Gameplay changes, including alien equipment and aircraft size changes and UFO recovery improvements.
* New UFOpedia images and textures.
* And the usual round of lots and lots of other fixes, totalling at 650 revisions.
Apologies for the month-long hiatus but work has been crazy.
In my absence, a lot of updates to freeware multiplayer shooters have popped up (more on this later) but the audiophile in me found this news almost more exciting than all the recent freeware strategy game/multiplayer shooter updates combined: K-Lite Codec Pack Full v4.8.0 has been released today!

Effing awesome.
If you work for us and you see someone wearing a hooded sweater with the number 420 emblazoned on the front, that's probably be me. No worries; I'm just gonna pat you on the back for a job well done. If you see someone with the same clothing jumping up and down the buildings of Divisoria though, you better pray you can run faster than Carl Lewis:
No wait, with skills like that, you're definitely not gonna see him. Go back and play CS v1.0.
And I thought infected fought attrition matches. That team will totally own survivors.
WARNING: This is a 3rd-party, Nvidia-based tweaked video card driver. Nvidia does not support this software. I also have not tested this one yet. Install at your own risk.
Dox of Laptopvideo2go.com released Dox Optimised 182.46 last March 26. The driver no longer supports hybrid laptops and quadro cards but supports a wide range of Nvidia GeForce video cards (series 6 all the way to the GT200).
It also doesn't come with PhysX, which is a relief for users whose cards don't support it. As a result, the installer is very small, weighing in at 27.3Mb.
The driver "is tweaked for higher performance with minimal loss in IQ (system dependent)."

(It's spelled that way; a lot of users search for "Dox Optimized.")
