| Condemned | Sega (Monolith Productions) | 2005 | [b]crazed sentients[/b] — [spoiler=Show spoiler;Hide spoiler]almost all humans you see have been driven insane by some infrasound that has been killing the birds.[/spoiler] [b]achievements[/b] — Unlocks concept art and videos. Granted for completing levels, finding and collecting dead birds and metal plates (the metal plates especially are well hidden) and some special objects, from performing some feats in either firearm or melee combat, and one for playing the game through with only melee weapons.***The game was banned in Germany and all copies confiscated on basis of [url=http://www.iuscomp.org/gla/statutes/StGB.htm#131]StGB §131[/url].***[spoiler=Birds;Hide bird tip]Birds can be found by following either the buzzing of flies or the squawking/flapping of live ones. Usually few birds are found by the help of a cinematic showing them - during conversation or just the camera passing by an angle from which they're visible - or the game allowing you to use the smell-o-detector (or whatever) to locate them.[/spoiler] [spoiler=Metal plates;Hide metal plate tip]Metal plates are surrounded by black scribbles of eyes and the occasional bird, but mostly just eyes.[/spoiler] [spoiler=Special;Hide special item tip]There's also one special item in each(?) level in the form of a TV with VCR nearby. These are usually in some side room or similar which easily go unnoticed and have no clear markers to guide you there (than perhaps the static sound coming from the TV).[/spoiler] Effectively all these challenge your ability to investigate and explore the levels to the fullest taking cues from audio and visual stimuli which the game uses quite brilliantly.***Working title: The Dark | Windows | labelimageminimize |
| Condemned | Sega (Monolith Productions) | 2005 | The Japanese title reads approximately: [i]kondemudo saiko kuraimu[/i] ([i]Condemned Psycho Crime[/i]).***Developed by award-winning Monolith Productions for the next-generation consoles and PC, Condemned allows players to experience an unnatural level of psychological tension as they use their instincts, forensic tools, and melee combat to track serial killers and bring them to justice. Gamers will play as Ethan Thomas, an FBI agent in the Serial Crimes Unit (SCU), whose pursuit of relentless serial killers leads him through detailed urban environments filled with socio-paths who lurk on the periphery of humanity. Presented in a first-person view for maximum visceral effect, this atmospheric thriller is best played with the surround-sound up and the lights off. Given the power of next-generation hardware, Condemned is able to feature photo-realistic backdrops, life-like physics, and highly sophisticated artificial intelligence. Weapons and ammunition are scarce, leaving the player vulnerable to the game's gallery of mentally deranged criminals. Careful detective work and precision reflexes are a player's primary means of survival. Inspired in part by the films of the psychological thriller sub-genre, Condemned maintains an intense, focused pace. Players can never be sure what waits around each corner. Features * Next-generation lighting, mapping, and filtering techniques provide for environments of unprecedented detail and visual quality. * Intelligent enemies respond strategically to your offensive and defensive maneuvers. * High-level physics allow players to manipulate background items, which respond realistically when picked up, kicked, or bumped. * A tightly wound story is backed with strong character development and major plot twists. * Meticulously crafted 5.1 surround-sound will cue players to the location of offscreen enemies.***Released 2005-11-15 in North America and 2005-12-02 in Europe.

When this test run goes horribly wrong the lives of 8 friends and a desert community is altered irrevocably. Waking up in a jail appearing to be in New York the player, an urban girl in her late teens, must remember what happened and set off to find her friends and save them from the madness. There is of course a couple of problems.... The presence of the virus "Triton-76" used by "Project G.I.Ants" in the surrounding air starts to trigger powerful and frightening mutations in the player and a standard order for the elimination of any witness.

The game features compact and dynamic dodge moves as well as traditional jump and double jump. * Interact and save the NPCs in the game world with compelling risk Vs reward stakes to earn extra information and abilities. * Rigid body dynamics, rag doll and vehicles are all accounted for in the realistic physics engine that drives the "D.i.R.T.

What if people from the future are playing with us; making us do the things to make the future world a ‘better place' - what is a ‘better place' anyway? Should History ever be changed, even the most traumatic times? Doesn't History shape who we are? Gameplay In Darkest of Days, you get to experience some of the most varied gameplay ever released in one title. Things will never get stale as you travel to distant times, and fight alongside people from that time period. Fighting in Antietam (the bloodiest day of the American Civil War) feels much different than fighting on the side of the Russians at Tannenberg (where the Russians withstood 140,000 casualties in WW I). * Fight In FIVE Distinct Different Time Periods Whether its in Pompeii, Antietam, WW I, or two other unannounced time periods, you will fight with weapons of the time period. You will fight against enemies that fight in different ways, all reflective of how fighting was done at that time. * Participate In EPIC Battle Scenes . .* You will fight against the Confederates (and the Union at times), facing a staggering number of troops, all fighting in unison. Ready, aim . . . steady men . . . FIRE! . .* You will jump from the trenches in WW I to lead an attack against the Huns. You will man artillery to hit distant targets. You will defend to the last man! . .* You will Fight in Pompeii, while Mt. Vesuvius is spewing ash and fire into the atmosphere. You will fight amongst a frightened population, fleeing for their lives. * Play From Opposing Sides Of Conflicts Nearly every time-period offers game-play from each side of the conflict. In trying to keep History pure, you have to undo mistakes you make, which may require fighting from the other perspective to ‘mend'. * Unleash Hell With Futuristic Weaponry What could you have done with a automatic rifle during the Civil War, or some futuristic laser sighted pulse cannon in the Trenches of WW I? There are times where you have no other choice but to bust out the big guns. [Phantom EFX] | Windows | labelimagesubject |

| darkSector | D3 Publisher (Digital Extremes) | 2008 | Dark Sector blends finesse and brutality into a fast-action game. It mixes first-person shooter control schemes with a third-person perspective. Your suit can 'morph.' This morphing is central to creating the new possibilities for our combative and non-combative game mechanics. Enemy guard shows off effective, believable facial expressions. The polygon count on each character is incredibly high, and the texture work is gorgeous. The characters move with smooth motion, and the special effects, from the particles, smoke, and fire, are all top-quality. | X360 | labelimagesubject |

| Fallout 3 | Bethesda Softworks (Bethesda Game Studios) | 2008 | A spin and rebirth of the saga, brings back a desolate atmosphere but in FPS-packed-action; neverless, the VATS compensates incredibly for the turn-system action. Sadly, the story empowers epicness over good story, with immortal characters an black/white characters in general (there are exceptions) But is important for being the predecessor of Fallout: New Vegas, who is better in every way possible and retakes the old developers of Fallout 1 and 2. 8 de 10***[b]Non-free add-ons:[/b] (DLC) * [url=http://fallout.bethsoft.com/eng/info/opanc.html]Operation: Anchorage[/url] (2009-01-27) * [url=http://fallout.bethsoft.com/eng/info/thepitt.html]The Pitt[/url] (2009-03-24) * Broken Steel (2009-05-05) * Point Lookout (2009-06-23) * Mothership Zeta (2009-07-29?)

Yet one fateful morning, you awake to find that your father has defied the Overseer and left the comfort and security afforded by Vault 101 for reasons unknown.

V.A.T.S. allows you to pause time in combat, target specific body parts on your target, queue up attacks, and let Vault-Tec take out your aggression for you. Rain death and destruction in an all-new cinematic presentation. * Mind-Blowing Artificial Intelligence! – At Vault-Tec, we realize that the key to reviving civilization after a global nuclear war is people.

(Source Remake Half-Life)***Named Game of the Year by over 50 publications, Valve's debut title blends action and adventure with award-winning technology to create a frighteningly realistic world where players must think to survive. Also includes an exciting multiplayer mode that allows you to play against friends and enemies around the world. (GoldSrc Half-Life)*** [53]***The gifted son of the love triangle between Wolf3, Doom and Quake. Having a Steam account without Half-Life is as absurd as a Spanish omelet without eggs or potatoes. Absolutely essential, recommended therapy against claustrophobia, arachnophobia, boredom and addiction to Wolverine clone shooters. It is recommended not to touch the microwave. Valve's greatest masterpiece to date. 10 out of 10***There's two versions of this game (also of Blue Shift and Opposing Force) out, one uses the original GoldSrc engine, and another which was ported to the newer Source engine with very few (barely notable) changes to how the game appears or works.***[b]Minimum:[/b] * Windows 95, 98 or NT4 * 133 MHz Pentium CPU * 24 MB RAM * Mouse * Keyboard***Listed as Game of the Year by nearly all (if not all) of the major gaming publications, this first person shooter is excellently done. From the gripping story, to the wonderfully scripted AI, this game will have even hard core gamers coming back for more. Many people complain about the late game "jumping torture" areas, but all in all this is a wonderfully designed game that raises the bar for all games to come. Also, it offers a graphics and AI engine that is hugely editable, allowing a vast number of Single Player and Multiplayer mods. To date, no game has matched its appeal or sales figures: and still it tops nearly every list of games. | Windows | labelimagesubject |

| Half-Life: Blue Shift | Sierra On-Line (Gearbox Software) | 2001 | Made by Gearbox Software and originally released in 2001 as an add-on to Half-Life, Blue Shift is a return to the Black Mesa Research Facility in which you play as Barney Calhoun, the security guard sidekick who helped Gordon out of so many sticky situations. [Steam Store]***Demuestra que por lo menos había un segurata decente en Black Mesa, y recuerda: tu objetivo vital es sobrevivir para poder regalar palancas en el futuro. Similar al Half-Life original desde otro punto de vista, peor que el Opossing Force.

| Mass Effect 2 | Electronic Arts (BioWare Edmonton;EA Montreal) | 2010 | The Mass Effect trilogy is a science fiction adventure set in a vast universe filled with dangerous alien life forms and mysterious uncharted planets. In this dark second chapter, Saren’s evil army of Geth soldiers has just been defeated, and humans, who are still struggling to make their mark on the galactic stage, are now faced with an even greater peril. | X360 | labelimagesubject |
| Mass Effect 2 | Electronic Arts (BioWare;EA Montreal) | 2010 | Recruit. Explore. Control. Two years after Commander Shepard repelled invading Reapers bent on the destruction of organic life, a mysterious new enemy has emerged. On the fringes of known space, something is silently abducting entire human colonies. Now Shepard must work with Cerberus, a ruthless organization devoted to human survival at any cost, to stop the most terrifying threat mankind has ever faced. To even attempt this perilous mission, Shepard must assemble the galaxy’s most elite team and command the most powerful ship ever built. Even then, they say it would be suicide. Commander Shepard intends to prove them wrong. Just like in the previous game, what you say to the other characters matters a great deal. Fortunately, the conversation system has been improved. The camera now pans around characters as they talk to one another to evoke a dramatic, cinematic feel. Also, Shepard can interrupt the conversation when given the appropriate prompt, taking situations into new directions that could help or hinder the mission. Shepard is more customizable than ever, letting you create your ideal lead character — gender, facial features, class, and of course, attitude. Once you embark on missions, you’ll be treated to an improved battle system that lets you target weak points and blast off your enemy’s limbs with a variety of weapons. Set out to lead your team to victory... or die at the hands of The Collectors. Either path is possible in BioWare’s smash hit, Mass Effect 2. Which destiny will you choose?*** [100]*** [12]***Mejora lo visto en el anterior juego, añade el elemento de la munición y simplifica la exploración de planetas. Nunca "Shepard" dijo tanto 7 de 10***Besides removing pretty much everything that was bad about ME1, ME2 has some other improvements besides that. Though I did miss driving with the Mako on the planet with the Thorian, I'm still glad planetary surveys had been simplified to manual scanner sweeps over the old drive around with the Mako till you find something of interest. The game's RPG elements have been simplified, as most weapon skills no longer exist, and the ones that exist are temporary boosts or similar. Biotics were largely unchanged, though some new powers were added. A unique(?) feature was introduced with every single skill branching on the last (fourth) level into two alternatives that give various benefits. Otherwise the game remains largely the same, though there's almost none of the tedious running "quests" ME1 had on the Citadel. The locations you visit are much smaller, but generally speaking more unique. You won't feel like you're visiting the same place for the thousandth time unless you really are. That comes obviously with the cost that there's less optional things to do besides scanning planets for minerals, though I didn't bother to scan any more than was necessary (which probably left well over two thirds of the systems unexplored). To summarize: ME2 is better in almost all aspects I could care about in ME1's sequel, was somewhat amazed at this achievement myself.***[b]Minimum:[/b] * Windows XP, Vista or 7 * 1.8 GHz Core 2 Duo CPU * 1 GB RAM * 256 MB VRAM * GeForce 6800 or Radeon X1600 Pro GPU [b]Recommended:[/b] * 2.6 GHz Core 2 Duo CPU * 2 GB RAM * GeForce 8800 GT or Radeon HD 2900 XT GPU | Windows | labelimagesubject |
