Dragon's Lair	Digital Leisure	1997	Haven't heard of Dragon's Lair?! Well, you play the heroic Dirk the Daring, a valiant knight on a quest to rescue the fair princess from the clutches of an evil dragon! Originally released in the summer of 1983, Dragon's Lair has solidified itself as a cultural icon in gaming.***In 1997, was released as a CD-ROM version as well as a DVD-ROM version, as a direct port from the 1994 MS-DOS version. In 2001, a slightly modified CD-ROM version of this game was released, and according to the developer, this is the first "arcade authentic" port of Dragon's Lair, even includes the score panel and marquee on screen. In 2002, a DVD-ROM as well as a CD-ROM version was released with some bonus contents and better graphics. In 2006, a DVD-ROM HD remake of the game was published. In 2013, this HD version was available on the STEAM platform for download. All these versions of the game were published and developed by Digital Leisure.	Windows
Starscape	Moonpod	2003	[b]real-time combat[/b] - some nodes are devoid of enemy presence (especially after you've destroyed them all), so this is somewhat inaccurate, but (more) enemies can warp in at any time (sort of), so it's sufficient.*If you like arcade shooters and don't mind spending half of your time mining asteroids for minerals, you might actually like this. However, arcade shooter fans will be more at home with this than most others as the game starts to get quite hectic towards the end. Maintaining mineral reserves, protecting the mobile spacestation, and repairing your ship and the station even during the fights will get quite common tasks. Asteroid mining is more required by research and development of new ships and ship hardware than for repairs as some of the larger enemy ships actually leave some minerals or hardware to be used for repairs, often in sufficient numbers. The other part of the game is spent hunting the bigger ships, mostly mining vessels as their destruction detracts the enemy's ability to produce more units within each zone, and to find grid information for important locations not normally shown in the grid map. The game world is split into five zones, each larger than the last, which you can explore in any order you wish but jumping more than one zone will spell certain doom as you need the technology from the previous ones to survive (and unlock the more powerful hardware). The grid and zone maps work in some semi-turn-based fashion, with time passing when you move or when you hit the skip time button. Time also passes freely when inside a grid node, where the game runs in real-time - the enemy continues to produce new units, harvest other grid nodes, and move forces around, even bringing reinforcements occasionally in while you spend your time there. Overall it's a nice game, but towards the end, especially the final boss, you start wishing you hadn't touched the game in the first place - unless you have masochistic tendencies with video games.[b]Minimum:[/b] Windows 98, XP or Vista * 300 MHz Pentium II CPU * 16 MB VRAM * 3D accelerator * 110 MB HD space**With most of its crew missing and its weapons systems ruined the space research station Aegis is all but lost.

However, they fail to realize a simple fact: default movement mode is already [i]running[/i] (this is fairly obvious, which makes me wonder how people manage to miss it). The thing they think is running is literally [i]sprinting[/i] largely accomplished by the aid of the HEV suit (a type of utility power armor) Gordon is wearing. So the sprint expends the same suit energy your flashlight uses.

While the packaging is in English, the manual and game itself are in Hebrew Valve Software/Vivendi Universal Gameswon the 5th annual (2005) Game developers Choice Awards - Best Writing. Marc Laidlaw was designated in the nomination. From the official site: By taking the suspense, challenge and visceral charge of the original, and adding startling new realism and responsiveness, Half-Life 2 opens the door to a world where the player's presence affects everything around him, from the physical environment to the behaviors -- even the emotions -- of both friends and enemies. The player again picks up the crowbar of research scientist Gordon Freeman, who finds himself on an alien-infested Earth being picked to the bone, its resources depleted, its populace dwindling. Freeman is thrust into the unenviable role of rescuing the world from the wrong he unleashed back at Black Mesa. And a lot of people -- people he cares about -- are counting on him.

Ys Origin	Nihon Falcom;XSEED (Nihon Falcom)	2006	700 years before the events of Ys I & II, the land of Ys was on the brink of destruction. Demons came in droves and forced the twin Goddesses who ruled the land to whisk their subjects away from the surface, into the safe embrace of the clouds. The demons were persistent, however, erecting a massive tower in pursuit. The battle that raged upon the ground had begun ascending for a second round up above. One day, amidst this turmoil, the Goddesses stole away into the night, vanishing from Ys altogether. And there's only one place they could have gone: the Devil's Tower. A search party of knights and sorcerers was hastily formed and dispatched to the surface in hopes of retrieving these runaway deities. Among its members were apprentice knight Yunica Tovah and troubled sorcerer Hugo Fact. This is their story. Or at least, it's how each of them remembers it. Expanding upon the gameplay elements introduced in Ys: The Ark of Napishtim and further developed in Ys: The Oath in Felghana, Ys Origin perfects the formula by adding different styles of play and new features never before seen in the Ys universe. Best described as an arcade-like platformer RPG with Metroidvania elements and a complex, multi-faceted narrative, Ys Origin is the perfect mix of action, exploration and story. Screen-filling bosses with complex AI, unique platforming elements, innovative puzzles and a deeply involving mystery await within the wildly varied confines of this classic Ys dungeon. Come see how long you can last in the Devil's Tower... Key Features: * Officially available in English for the very first time. * Three unique playable characters in story mode, with additional variations (and characters?) unlockable through other modes. * Five difficulty levels ranging from "Very Easy" for casual players to "Nightmare" for true Ys masters. * Unlockable "Time Attack" and "Boss Rush" modes for anyone looking to show off his/her boss-taming abilities. * Unlockable Arena Mode pits players against massive hordes of enemies for unique gameplay rewards. * Over 40 unique Steam Achievements, Steam Cloud support and hundreds of highly competitive leaderboards. * Minutely configurable high-resolution graphics with true widescreen support. * Fully adjustable controls supporting virtually any USB gamepad, as well as a standard keyboard and mouse setup.*Steam/English release was on 2012-05-31*Prequel to the whole Ys series and the second game that doesn't revolve around Adol Christin (first was Ys Strategy), set some 700 years before the events of Ancient Ys Vanished (Ys 1&2). The chosen character affects the story some, but the played areas and such are the same. Encountered NPCs, including bosses, are not always the same and the dialogue tends to be different even if following the same lines. Some items are found in different places too.	Windows

However NPC and monster will almost never kill a player and player killers will suffer great consequences. Choice of race determines where a player starts in the game. Though not to full scale, the game world is huge and has countless dangers in between settlements. Races will be likely remain separated except for certain communities between them and rare fellowships that travel great distances, like the books. Vivendi Universal Games and Turbin were developing Middle Earth Online for Sierra On-Line. Vivendi left the project. Sierra On-Line formed their Yosemite Entertainment division and transfered all their experienced artists to it. Sierra then had Yosemite Entertainment fire all its employees.

This standalone game features two unique armies with full length campaigns. Players will experience fast-paced dynamic tactics like never before, in two of the most brutal World War II campaigns ever fought. Take command of the tenacious British 2nd Army in the vicious battle for Caen, France, or lead the German Panzer Elite as they struggle to repel the largest airborne invasion in history. With two intensely cinematic campaigns, mission persistence, improved vehicle AI and weather effects that directly impact the battlefield, Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts supports DirectX 10 and is fully compatible with the original Company of Heroes. Battle online with these two all-new armies and utilize full compatibility with the original Company of Heroes for a total of four playable armies - allowing players to wage the ultimate war for Fortress Europe. FeaturesFeatures Bigger – Play as the British or Germans in two intensely cinematic campaigns. * Better looking – DX10 support and significant upgrades to the Essence Engine. * Smarter – Improved vehicle AI and path-finding. * More Realistic – All new weather effects directly impact the battlefield. [Relic]***Introduces two new armies, the British 2nd and the German Panzer Elite, both with their own all new campaigns, too. British are slow-moving and highly defensive army and apparently has movable base unlike all the other armies, as well as tank airdrop and many other interesting and unique abilities. Panzer Elite on the other hand is a low number force of, you know, elite forces who're more suited for rushing the enemy in Blitzkrieg tactics and specializes on vehicular combat more than any other army. Apparently You won't need to have Opposing Fronts to play against their armies after a new patch is rolled out for the original game, although you won't be able to play _as_ either of the new armies if you don't get the expansion, nor likely are you able to play the two old armies if you don't have the original, but you can still play against those who either have only the expansion or only the original even if you only have the other.

Portal	Valve	2007	Todavía recuerdo cuando compré la Orange Box: el plan era pasarse los episodios del Half-Life y después probar, por este orden, el nuevo Team Fortress y ese juego sorpresa llamado Portal. Acabó siendo al revés, este juego (especialmente permanente en las sienes su última cámara de pruebas y los créditos) legendario desde entonces permanece como un favorito, sólo opacado por su aún mejor sucesor. Y esa voz semihumana tan cariñosa es una de los mejores voces de la historia de los videojuegos, probablemente sólo superada en grimilla por The Master de la saga Fallout.

Black Mesa is also mentioned at least twice in Portal itself, as competing research contractor in some presentations and by passing in the ending song.The game's extremely short (roughly 2 hours for me with initial performance problems, few crashes and several deaths included) but the ending is strangely "rewarding" with the "Still Alive" song sung by GLaDOS.*Portal is a new single player game from Valve. Set in the mysterious Aperture Science Laboratories, Portal has been called one of the most innovative new games on the horizon and will offer gamers hours of unique gameplay. The game is designed to change the way players approach, manipulate, and surmise the possibilities in a given environment; similar to how Half-Life 2's Gravity Gun innovated new ways to leverage an object in any given situation. Players must solve physical puzzles and challenges by opening portals to maneuvering objects, and themselves, through space. Portal is coming in the Fall of 2007 as part of The Orange Box, which also includes Team Fortress 2 and Half-Life 2: Episode Two. The Orange Box will be available for the PC, as well as the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 console systems.	Windows

This year's most anticipated online action game, TF2 delivers new gametypes, a signature art style powered by Valve's next generation animation technology, persistent player statistics, and more.

Play as the flame-throwing Pyro, the room clearing Heavy, or the Spy, a master of disguises. Other classes include: Scout, Sniper, Medic, Engineer, Demoman, or Soldier. TF2 features the most advanced graphics of any Source-based game released to date – and the most exciting class-based action ever created.	Windows

Project started 2007-12-07 by BitBlot (download; non-Steam version) 2008-12-15 by BitBlot through Steam (download; with Steam achievements added)[[youtube:G40cXjcz-9c]]*Minimum: * 1.6 GHz CPU * 256 MB RAM * 200 MB free HD space***A beautiful, hand-crafted 2D adventure Lonely, restless Naija has spent her entire life wrestling with questions about her identity. We join her as she takes her first steps away from the comfort of home and into new, potentially dangerous waters. Through exploration and magical combat, Naija will unearth the history of Aquaria and connect with beings lost in the depths of time. On the search to discover the fate of her people, her destiny and that of Aquaria's will be forever altered. A massive, underwater fantasy world to explore Aquaria is an action-oriented, non-linear 2D side-scrolling game. Using an intuitive and fluid mouse control system, Naija can deftly swim through and explore a massive, handcrafted world that is teeming with undersea life. Along the way, she will encounter literally hundreds of different types of plants and animals and explore many ingame miles of hidden caves, lost ruins, and other strange places. As kids, we grew up playing the brilliant 2D action and roleplaying games of the time. With Aquaria, we've aimed to capture the excitement of those games in a new way, using updated technology, controls, and visuals. This is a game with a very personal touch, from the characters and story to the creature interaction and expansive environments. Seamless, non-linear gameplay In order to make the experience as engaging as possible, we created an interface that lets the player easily control Naija with just a two-button mouse. The HUD is minimal (restricted to only a minimap in the lower-right corner of the screen). In place of textual dialogue that most games rely on we used voice acting to drive the story without interrupting the gameplay. Through a realtime interface, Naija can sing songs and cast spells without going to a menu screen. With practice, these spells can be cast easily to interact with the environment, solve puzzles, or combine them for strategic effect during combat. Certain spells will allow you to change form, creating new ways of playing the game depending on the form chosen. [Bit Blot]	Windows

Peculiarly enough the prelude/tutorial is with human troops. The game is supposed to be the first part of a series, with the next game or games not set on earth and humans possibly gaining their own faction, signaling some form of profound leaps in their technological level, presumably from studying the salvaged wrecks of the three alien races or being aided by either Novus or the Masari. This remains to be seen, though.Universe at War: Earth Assault is the next sci-fi real-time strategy game from Petroglyph, the award-winning studio comprised of team members that developed the original Command & Conquer and C&C: Red Alert. The latest strategy game from these RTS pioneers features unprecedented levels of customization and an epic storyline set on near-future Earth. Powerful forces from across the universe have brought war to our planet. In Universe at War, you take command of several unique factions with awesome powers and spectacular units. Control massive-scale alien war machines that are fully customizable. With "Tactical Dynamics," Universe at War's on-the-fly customization system, you can dynamically swap out weaponry, rework your tech tree, and retrain units in the middle of combat to thwart your foe and seize the advantage. Universe at War features large-scale environmental destruction in a persistent world - level a city and when you come back, the area will still be a smoking ruin. Here, though, the environments you fight for are close to home, as you wage war across familiar Earth cities and landmarks. Universe at War also introduces numerous innovative new multiplayer features inspired by today's top MMOs and competitive online games, giving players achievements, rewards, and medals in a balanced environment with intelligent matchmaking.

Harvest: Massive Encounter	Oxeye Game Studio	2008	Harvest: Massive Encounter is an award-winning arcade real-time strategy game for Mac OS X and Windows with battles of epic proportions and a unique style of resource management and exploration. In this 2D fantasy you take on the role as the base commander of a space colony far, far away, and must use five building types in a creative way to efficiently expand and defend it. Build power plants, mineral harvesters and defense towers and make sure they have sufficient energy to fend off endless hordes of evil aliens. The game offers a vast array of possible strategies with these simple rules, and will compel you to try new and better base designs every time.**[b]Worlds:[/b] Haphaestus ... Unique aliens: Teleporter, Flea ... Conditions: normal * Poseidon ... Unique aliens: Monocle ... Conditions: strong winds throw aliens around; wind direction and areas where they work are largely static * Ares ... Unique aliens: Energy Sapper ... Conditions: massive holes in the terrain limit building and alien invasion possibilities [b]Tips:[/b] * Laser tower links grant immediate range bonus, but the damage bonus takes half a second or so to bring up each link online. Damage tolerance for most aliens caps at around 8500%, so linking more towers (after the first or second link) for damage is no longer efficient (range bonus is still useful, though), build another linked tower network instead. * You will never defend your base with a single massive linked laser, no matter how it covers the whole map (caused by limited rotation speed). * Each linked tower grants 50% damage boost and 13% range boost. * Unlinked towers are still useful on the front lines, especially against Gehenna shuttles. * Overcharging an energy link costs you only 2 resources and easily destroys over 20 aliens. Especially useful when your defences are about to be overrun. Redirect energy output to the overcharged link. However, overusing this can deprive your regular base defences of energy to operate, so don't abuse it! * Tweak those attack priorities!***All but the Wave game mode lack ending, all others endlessly increase difficulty and the number of aliens that appear with each wave until your defences are finally overpowered. The goal is to survive as many waves as possible for as long as possible. Made difficult by the need to expand your base to gather more resources, though made slightly easier by linking the laser towers for increased damage and range, so they never really lose their usefulness.

Version history: 1.01 (?)*Not as great as I expected, and the driving around in Mako is horrible most of the time as well as the final bit of the ending just makes me feel sickly. My recommendation is, if you want to enjoy this game, stick to the main story and avoid any side exploration/quests completely, and try to bear the last bit of the ending (the parts where humans talk). Replayability comes mostly from dialogs as otherwise the game gets quite dull, and unfortunately you need those dialogs to progress your renegade/paragon ranks to open the more interesting dialog choices since these are separate from your regular leveling and skills.[b]Free expansions:[/b] [url=http://masseffect.bioware.com/galacticcodex/bringdownthesky.html]Bring Down the Sky[/url] [b]Non-free expansions:[/b] * Pinnacle Station (2009-10)*Comes on 2 DVDs but I have no idea what the second DVD is supposed to be for (backup?).[b]technomagic[/b] — the "biotics" used in the game do not really fit into any of the groups we have neatly, technomagic and psionics being the closest, but since the ME universe also has psychics, technomagic is all that there's left.
