| 8 Eyes | Seta;Taxan (Thinking Rabbit) | 1988 | After hundreds of years of chaos, mankind has finally emerged from the ruins of nuclear war. This world of the distant future has once again flourished under the guidance of the Great King, who harnessed the power of the 8 Eyes to rebuild the planet. These strange jewels of power were formed at the eyes, or center, of the eight nuclear explosions which nearly destroyed the Earth. In the wrong hands, the 8 Eyes could cause untold destruction... And now, they have been seized by the Great King's eight Dukes, in a desperate bid to gain control of the world for themselves. They have banished the King to the nuclear wastelands, and already their squabbling threatens to plunge the world into war once again! The task of retrieving the 8 Eyes falls to you, Orin the Falconer, the bravest and mightiest of the King's Guardsmen. With your fighting falcon, Cutrus, you must penetrate each of the 8 Dukes' castles. There you will face the Dukes' soldiers, and battle strange nuclear mutants such as living skeletons, giant wasps, and mud men. You must defeat the monstrous Boss of each castle to retrieve the Jewel of Power he guards. Then, to complete your quest, return the 8 Eyes to the Altar of Peace to await the return of the Great King, so that he may finish the rebuilding of Earth. Your reward will be the eternal gratitude of all mankind!*** [49]***NES-8E-USA エイト・アイズ literally reads `[code]eito aizu[/code]´.***Great Castlevania-type sleeper. | NES | labelimagesubject |

| Assassin's Creed | Ubisoft Entertainment (Ubisoft Montreal) | 2008 | El comienzo estelar de la saga, a pesar de ser mucho más lineal y corto que sus predecesores (y unas misiones secundarias enormemente repetitivas), se hecha de menos no ser una arsenal andante que puede con toda la guardia de la ciudad: mucho más sigilo y huida y menos acción. Especialmente reseñable era la posibilidad de finalizar un asesinato siguiendo el diario de Altair, convirtiendo el encargo en un auténtico reto, además de la claustrofóbica situación de Desmond y la intriga que rodea todo el juego. Como reprochable, la enorme letalidad del agua, aunque también es cierto que es de gran ayuda contra los templarios. 8 de 10***2008-04-09 as boxed 2008-04-09 on Steam (eng,fre,ita,ger,spa)***[b]save points[/b] - there's only one save per profile, so make sure you back it up occasionally. Nothing worse than playing almost through the game and the save getting corrupted for whatever reason (such as BSOD). The saves are stored in `[code]%APPDATA%/Ubisoft/Assassin's Creed/Saved Games/[/code]´.***Latest version: 1.02 (as of 2008-05-14)***The story starts with Desmond Miles being kidnapped in 2012 by Abstergo Industries and put into the Animus machine, a device capable of drawing out genetic memories and allowing the user to re-live their ancestors' lives. For Desmond, this is the life of Altaïr Ibn La-Ahad (الطائر), an assassin who lived during the Third Crusade in 1191. Although the story skips the kidnapping and starts with Desmond jagged into the Animus and experiencing some synchronization issues with it. The game is difficult to categorize and abundantly lampshaded by the fact that most of the game takes place inside the Animus which has been created to produce a video game like experience, so effectively you're playing a video game inside a video game. And the experience produced by the Animus is an abstraction of sorts with various alterations that make it easier for the user to operate it, such as translating all languages to plain English and so forth. So any inconsistencies with reality are due to that, and since memories aren't exactly logical 1 to 1 copies of reality, much illogical instances can occur, some of which can be interpreted to mean some [url=http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/JustBugsMe/Ptitlel59ywfenym8d?from=JustBugsMe.AssassinsCreed]very strange things[/url]. Things you may need to replay the whole game for:[spoiler]In memory block 4, you have a chance to pickpocket Vidic to get his security pen. This opportunity does not represent itself and replaying the memory block later does not roll back time in the "real world". After the credits you gain access to the conference room where you need Vidic's pen to access a computer, but there's nothing else after that besides your ability to replay the memory blocks and aim for 100% completion (collecting all the flags, killing the templars, scouting, and doing all the side tasks).[/spoiler]***[b]Minimum:[/b] * Windows XP or Vista * 2.6 GHz dual-core Pentium D or Athlon 64 X2 3800+ CPU * 1 GB RAM (2 GB for Vista) * 256 MB VRAM * Radeon X1600 or GeForce 6800 GPU * 8 GB HD space [b]Recommended:[/b] * Core 2 Duo 2.2 GHz or Athlon 64 X2 4400+ CPU * 5.1 capable soundcard***The PC version has 4 new missions compared to the original console version.

| Nagagutsu o Haita Neko: Sekai Isshuu 80 Nichi Daibouken | Toei (Shouei System) | 1986 | This game is based on an old anime movie and obviously rooted in the novel "Around the World in Eighty Days" by Jules Verne. It is a platform/shooter mix, each level representing a different country/part of the world. In nearly each level you are in a different vehicle, ranging from boats and cars to balloons and even a level where you are controlling a submarine. However this diversity is already the most interesting part. The rest is really average. Shoot enemies here, jump over pits there. It is playable but nothing special. | NES | labelimageminimize |
| Spec Ops: The Line | 2K Games (Yager) | 2012 | Rara vez se ve un FPS de guerra que transmita la verdadera desolación de una zona marcial. Spec Ops: The Line lo logra de manera magistral gracias a la sensación de abandono y a lo humanos que expone a los enemigos, lejos del típico "yo bueno, tu malo" tan común en los shooter en general. Además, en terminos de juego no tiene nada que envidiar a sus compañeros de género, con un buen arsenal y la añadidura de la física de la arena y sus múltiples efectos (hasta corriendo se nota). incluye también elementos muy propios de los juegos de Tom Clancy en el aspecto de enviar órdenes, aunque de manera muy simplificada. El multijugador no es nada del otro mundo, el típico clase+perks+armas y los clásicos modos deathmatch/por equipos/etc... 8 de 10***Spec Ops: The Line is a new original title from 2K Games that features provocative and gripping Third-Person modern military Shooter gameplay designed to challenge players' morality by putting them in the middle of unspeakable situations where unimaginable choices affecting human life must be made.
