How does one define the value of a web site... By it's graphics,... What net based technology it makes use of (Macromedia Flash, ASP.NET etc),... Originality,... Or by it's content. The answer should be obvious ... Content. What truly makes a web site good is it's content. That is why you will not find a list of misc links to just any site, but instead I will only be adding links to web sites that are unique and have content of true value.

"The Axiom Engine Project is a fully object oriented game engine development effort using C# and the Microsoft.Net platform to create an easy to use, flexible, extendable, and powerful engine that allows for rapid development of games for various genres. By using the .Net framework as the target platform, developers can focus more on core functionality and logic, rather than dealing with the complexities of languages like C++.
