Cons:
-A veces abusa de ciertas mecánicas de combate y enemigos.
-De cuando en cuando da fallos.

Be the noble hero embarking on an epic quest, or an insidious thief rising to leadership of his guild. Be a malevolent sorcerer developing the ultimate spell of destruction, or a reverent healer searching for the cure to a plague. Your actions define your character, and your gameplay changes and evolves in response to your actions. Confront the assassins' guild, and they take out a contract on you. Impress them, and they try to recruit you instead. No two sagas are the same in the world of Morrowind.

Original copies of the game came with Macrovision SafeDisc. An official patch removed the need for SafeDisc but required a CD check per play. A later publishing of the game came with no protection whatsoever.

The Precursors  Russobit-M;Game Factory Interactive (Deep Shadows)2009There's an unofficial patch for the western release that replaces a lot of the sounds with the ones from Russian release (also thus "adding" voices [rather, restoring their Russian voice-overs] for all characters rather than only very few of them) as well as fixing certain issues.

This patch is also available [url=http://www.beamdog.com/products/the-precursors-fan-improvement-pack]as free DLC[/url] on Beamdog in case you got the game from them.***Precursors, predecessors, the legend of the galaxy... Who among the existing races are carrying their genes?
The worlds of the galaxy are beautiful, unique and dangerous. Some of them are inhabited, some are deserted, some lie in ruins, others are just smugglers trans-shipment stations.
Some worlds are at the beginning of their evolution, other are falling into decay. Only when you'll pass through all of these worlds, when you'll feel the heat of blazing lava-seas and the chilling cold of dark abysses, when you'll see stark heavens and red skies, you will realize the real power of nature. Only when you'll meet corrupt judges, mendacious politicians, unselfish protectors and cruel tyrants, you'll understand the passions of society. Only when you'll reach unexplored sectors of the galaxy and come across wonderful natural phenomenons, when you'll fly through the tail of a comet or dive into a mysterious portal, then you'll perceive the infinite depth and diversity of the universe.
Nobody knows what exactly this journey will comprise, but we can assure you that it will be unforgettable...

"Precursors" is a new project of Deep Shadows. The game action takes place in space and on the surface of various planets. The genre of the game is freeplay RPG with FPS and space sim combat elements.

"Precursors" and "White Gold: War In Paradise" are developed using the Vital Engine 3. It has shader 3.0 support and features various post rendering effects like HDR, motion blur and others. In comparison with the Vital Engine 2 the physics system has been improved and moreover, two of the main features of the engine are destructible objects, which will be found everywhere in the games, and support of one huge unified playing area.

You will fight your enemies in space as well as on the surface of various planets. You will be able to work for different factions and carry out their quests to earn money, which is quite essential for your hero. The money will give you the opportunity to buy new weapons, make technical upgrades or repair your damaged spaceship.

You can explore a planet's surface using a wide choice of different vehicles, but in space you will use only one ship which will be given to you at the beginning of the game. RPG stats will allows you to upgrade not only the personal characteristics of your hero but the technical abilities of your spaceship as well.

The Void  ND Games;Techland;Atari (Ice-Pick Lodge)2008Aunque es cierto que transmite una sensación constante de agobio por quedarte sin vida, y es verdaderamente especial en su manejo e historia, hay 2 cosas que le matan: la velocidad y el farmeo.
El 1º hace que algo que resultaría sencillo de hacer en unos minutos te lleve 1/4 de hora debido a los plomíferos pies de tu personaje, ya que el correr es una habilidad especial que no puedes ir todo el rato usando sin consecuencias.
El 2º es lo peor del juego, y supone revisitar zonas hasta la saciedad para hacer clics sobre árboles y plantitas.

Una auténtica tragedia, ya que su gran atmósfera y su explorabilidad se ven aniquilados por estos 2 defectos, haciéndole parecer un juego de Facebook en 3D.

2009-12-14 on Steam, as "The Void", by ND Games (lang: eng)***Tension – a survival adventure game, in which you have to stay alive in the hostile world of Void and to get out from it as quick as possible. The choice is either to support life in its horrifying Hunters or its mournful girls or strip them of it. The way you pass through The Void is the way it changes. The way it reflects upon you.

The surrealistic world of Tension is based on a single resource that grants the ability to live and act – Lympha. Each color of Lympha possesses its own character and unique properties – both useful and dangerous. Only Lympha gives life, but it can take it back as well. Hunters' blood, captured creature, gracious girls, tree brought to life, just everything is the source of Lympha. Any action you take: battling an enemy, talking to a Sister, hunting, searching, traveling – the price in exchange is Lympha.

The dynamic, interactive environment and the severe resource shortage constantly put the player into unexpected circumstances. Although the player is free to use any colors any time he should mind his global strategy, since the finale will turn out the way the world is painted. The gameplay in Tension is non-linear the ending (one of the 11) depends on the color and the amount of Lympha used.

Features:

* Lympha – the unified resource: the currency, the hero's health, armory and inventory, the character's stat system and the world settings.
* All the actions are done via drawing by Lympha. The amount of Lympha used influences the effectiveness of the result.
* The diversity of gameplay based greatly on random appearance and distribution of resources.
* 7 colors of Lympha are of the same value of nutrition, but produce a different effect in the same situations, if used.
* Each color of Lympha can benefit and each can harm. The player can take advantage of a color, though even a drop of any color can change the world of the Gap.

The Whispered World  Deep Silver;Viva Media (Daedalic Entertainment)2009The Whispered World is an impressive project developed by a graphic designer student in Germany named Marco Hullen. It tells the story of a boy named Sadwick. He roams the country with his family in a circus wagon and earns his living as a clown. One night he has a dream and a blue spirit tells him that he has to embark on a great journey to enlightenment in order to find the sense of life. Since his life as a clown is not a very fulfilling one, he jumps on the opportunity and leaves his family, attempting to trace the great secret. So the great journey through a fantasy world begins. The game includes over 20 sceneries and is sort of a cartoon movie played by your self. Sadwick is accompanied by his pet (a small worm) that will provide some funny moments throughout the game's story. Some of the noteworthy events that will take place in the game include Sadwick meeting a troll under a gigantic bridge, seeing carnivorous birds, entering a village on the back of an eagle and finally solving the mystery of the game in the palace of the mirror natures. In May/2014, a Special Edition was released which included exclusive contents, such as audio comments, featuring the games' authors Jan 'Poki' Mueller-Michaelis and Marco Huellen, a completely overhauled tutorial as well as new achievements.***

Tokyo Xtreme Racer 2  Genki;Crave2000Get that adrenaline rush from street racing, with out all the hassle or potential beat down from the cops. Pure street racing at its finest, THB pits you against many of those unknown speeders, in various nighttime races on the highways in Tokyo. Although there are multiple modes of high-beams, and that's all the reason you'll need to leave him in the dust. It's you against him, in an all out battle to reach a designated point on the highway, all the while passing cars that are meandering along at a leisurely pace in the middle of the night.

Stunning graphics add unparalleled realism that will make you believe you're actually on the Tokyo Highway System. At sixty frames-per second, Tokyo Extreme Racer is one of the fastest console games in existence. It's a heart stopping, white-knuckle racing experience that will leave you breathless.

The cars in Tokyo Xtreme Racer are imported production cars, suped up for high-octane street performance. Encounter over 200 Rival Cars, drone cars and trucks while racing through the immense and intricate Tokyo Highway System. Point Battle: With no start or finish line, the length of your lead (distance) as well as how long you lead (time) deplete your opponent's power bar. The quicker you get out in front and stay out in front, the quicker you win. Quest Mode: Empty your savings account to by a new or used car and customize it for racing. As you win more races you can upgrade your car or just buy a better one. Versus Mode: Race with a friend (or an enemy) on a split-screen. You'll go head-to-head at 60 frames per second. Tokyo Xtreme Racer's non-linear highway system, with a series of on and off ramps can instantly change the course route in the middle of a race. Dreamcastlabelimagesubject

* Nvidia 6600 GT or ATI Radeon 9800 video card***UFO: Afterlight is a mixture of squad based tactical action and global strategy with the gamer controlling the actions of elite ground troops, and the running and construction of an intricate network of interlinking bases while collecting resources.

UFO: Afterlight takes us to Mars, where a human colony has been built with the help of the Reticulans not long before the events of [game=#155167]UFO: Aftershock[/game] took place. Mars base is self-sustainable and provides all the necessities for survival of humans on a foreign planet, mainly breathable air, water and food. Although the people inhabiting this colony have the technologies and knowledge required for their further development, basic survival is their major concern. Their only activity is the research of a nearby excavation site, which proves the existence of an ancient intelligent and highly developed alien civilization.

The player will enter the game when the research drastically affects all Mars inhabitants. New and unexpected enemies appear in the form of robots, built centuries ago by the unknown aliens for their protection, whose purpose is to eliminate any traces of other civilizations on Mars.

Humans on Mars now have a good reason for their own development, even though not knowing yet that the planetary self-defense mechanism might not be the worst awaiting them, and that their unintentional opening of hyperspace gates will bring an even bigger enemy right to their door. After all attempts to contact the Earth Laputa fail, the colonists are left with no other choice than to fight the enemies with their own means, or be annihilated.

Vigil: Blood Bitterness  Meridian4;GarageGames (Freegamer)2006Not entirely sure, but I think Dehon speaks either Spanish with intense growl or plain gibberish that vaguely sounds like actual language, I'm tagging it as gibberish until someone can clear that up.

If anyone wants to try identifying it (if that's even possible...)
[spoiler=Intro video;Hide][media=youtube]v6dkIY23mlc[/media][/spoiler]***The game hints on the following things:
[spoiler=Show spoilers;Hide...]Cannibalism (Dehon and others ate slaves when they fancied it), familial homicide (Dehon murdered his siblings for their failings), immortality (Dehon is over 3 million years old), near god-like powers, the nebulous Evil Dehon is trying to destroy is in fact himself, ...[/spoiler]***Vigil: Blood Bitterness plunges you into the dark and disturbing story of an ancient civilization where you must reveal the secrets of your past and exact revenge on the Evil destroying your universe. Ritualistic killings and blood lust blur the line between your own kind and the Evil you seek to annihilate. Your ultimate goal is to free yourself from this tormenting place and understand the origin and the purpose of this never ending Evil.

Vigil is a stylized gothic horror adventure game that uses black and white imagery similar to Frank Miller's Sin City to create a unique visual that draws you deeper into the gruesome world of your character, Dehon. Avoid deadly traps, solve puzzles to unravel your past, and even devour the faces of your slaves for sustenance towards your ultimate goal of freedom.

* Easy point-and-click playability
* Engrossing story with deeply disturbed and complex characters
* 3D graphics with revolutionary black and white art and dynamic camera angles
* Challenging puzzles to solve and reveal the mysteries of your civilization
* Compelling pre-rendered cut scenes to advance the horrific story
* A gallery of clues in text, pictures, videos and sounds
* Set up multiple player profiles

Virtua Fighter  Sega (Sega;Sega AM2)1994In ancient China, a powerful kung fu technique known as hakkyoku ken ("the Eight-Point Fist") was developed by the Imperial Guard.
This technique won great admiration and many followers. Around the time of the Second World War, the Japanese army developed their own hakkyoku ken techniques in order to create the ultimate fighting force.
Now, the only active master of hakkyoku ken - a young man named Akira Yuki - sets off to travel the world in search of enlightenment ... and worthy opponents.
He finds them in the World Fighting Tournament, where the strongest fighters have gathered to determine who stands supreme in the art of hand-to-hand combat.
Any and all techniques are allowed, as long as the contestants use no weapons but their own bodies. After weeks of intense dueling, seven other warriors remain.
Sarah Bryant and her brother Jacky, both skilled in sekken do ... Lau Chan and his daughter Pai, with their special variations of kung fu ... Jeffry McWild, master of the violent Greek fighting style known as pancratium ... the ruthless professional wrestler Wolf Hawkfield ... the ninja Kagemaru and his mysterious techniques ...
All eight of these fighters have arrived to test their methods and their might against each other. Who will stand victorious?***

Wizardry 8 raises the standard for fantasy role-playing with a vengeance. Prepare yourself for a new level of excitement, immersiveness, and depth that made role-playing games one of the best-selling, best loved genres of all time. This is the legacy of Wizardry 8. Acllaimed critics agree!

* Explore a vast 3D world filled with action, magic, and adventure. Wander through dark dungeons, lush landscapes, scorrching volcanoes, and even beneath the sea.
* Create your own custom party of adventurers. Make a gnome gadgeteer, a lizardman figher, a rawulf lord, or even a faerie ninja. The possibilities are endless!
* Choose a custom personality for each character and hear them speak over 100 lines of dialogue. Kindly or chaotic, burly or surly - how your characters act is up to you.
* Talk to dozens of intelligent characters. How you treat them determines whether they become powerful allies or deadly enemies.
* Battle over 300 types of monsters in some of the most intense combat ever seen in a RPG. The unique auto-targeting system makes combat easy to learn, while the huge number of strategies adds unprecedented depth.
* Advanced creature A.I. brings a new level of realism to RPGs. You don't just hunt the monsters - the roaming monsters hunt you.
* Cast over 100 spells using a unique power-level system that guarantees that no spell ever becomes obsolete.
[Box blurb]***Wizardry 8 is an epic fantasy RPG that picks up where [[gameid:42564 Wizardry 7: Crusaders of the Dark Savant]] left off. You may recall that all hell had broken loose at the end of Wizardry 7. The Dark Savant had taken flight with a device called the Astral Dominae, an incredibly powerful artifact containing the secret of life itself. Following him are two powerful races, the T'Rang and the Umpani, as well as your own brave party of adventurers. Everyone is headed to Dominus, a world on the cusp of the Cosmic Circle, birthplace of the Astral Dominae and home of the Cosmic Lords. Many paths will converge on Dominus, and many long-hidden secrets will be revealed.

Xenus II: White Gold  Russobit-M (Deep Shadows)2008Caribbean islands; islands full of secrets, mystery and the spirit of romance. These islands are both beautiful and lethally dangerous. Centuries ago the waters of this region were teeming with pirates and adventurers... and frankly, not much has changed since then.
Many books have been written about the Caribbean basin and many films have depicted it.
Now you have a unique chance to visit these places yourself and personally witness the everyday life of drug-dealers, bandits and the Mafioso. You'll be able to take part in various mysterious events and get involved in fights between various hostile forces, or just admire the luscious tropical environment while drinking the traditional pirate's liquor - rum. The Caribs are waiting for you!

White Gold: War in Paradise is the new project from game developers Deep Shadows. White Gold is the spiritual sequel to 2005's popular game Boiling Point: Road to Hell.

The main hero arrives on the islands in order to investigate a series of mysterious events, but he instantly ends up in troubles that only you can help him with.

White Gold: War in Paradise is not a direct continuation of the Boiling Point: Road to Hell storyline, but a successor in atmosphere and gameplay mechanics. A superb mix of RPG elements and FPS combat, vast open areas, hostile groups and factions, diverse vehicles and weapons, and a story full of sudden turns and surprises awaits you.

The project is being developed on Vital Engine 3, the new in-house engine created by Deep Shadows, which includes all modern technical features, such as Shader Model 3.0 and various post processing effects including HDR (High Dynamic Range), motion blur and a host of others. In comparison to Vital Engine 2, the physics system for vehicles has also been greatly improved. Moreover, some of the new engine's strengths are destructible objects, which will be taken advantage of everywhere in the game, and the support for a huge, unified playing area.

The character development system has also been heavily altered to become more interesting and flexible. One of our major innovations is a system of perks that affects the game experience a lot and greatly extends the variety in which it is possible to improve your character.

Ys Origin  Nihon Falcom;XSEED (Nihon Falcom)2006700 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.
