In the year 1878, the mysterious Dr. Morhead built a laboratory on the remote Soreo Isle and started his experiments on human/animal hybrid genetics, violating the very foundations of nature. His work was aimed at the creation of animals that look, feel and behave more like humans. He created bizarre never-before seen creatures, ModBeasts, Humanimals and Brutes, each kind with unique abilities, tactics and firepower. After many years of hard labor bringing his desires into reality, Dr. Morhead achieved remarkable results in giving animals a human look, but there was one thing he did not take into account: animals are born as the children of nature, so their powerful bodies retained wild souls. The creatures' true nature could not be concealed forever, and the day came when Dr. Morhead fell prey to his own creations. Years later, this island was visited by the H. M. S. Spider and a party of sailors went ashore and first found nothing but some small, indigenous wildlife...until they met the real inhabitants of Soreo Isle. The mysterious world of Vivisector consists of a more than sixteen huge levels, pitting players against the wild unpredictable natives of Soreo Isle while struggling their way through lush tropical jungles, deep woods and snowy mountains.

Operation: Matriarchy	Buka Entertainment;Meridian4 (MADia Entertainment)	2005	Latest version: 1.01 (as of ?)*A planet-wide epidemic caused by an extraterrestrial virus totally changed all women of the planet of Velian. Their bodies transformed to become parts of collective intelligence, presumably controlled by some non-humanoid creatures. The Velian men proved to be resistant to the virus, but they lost their status of free intelligent beings and only existed as suppliers of biomaterial for further gene experimentation and as parts of complex biomechanical systems. The society became now a kind of matriarchal hive. The Galactic Federation lost several dozens of transports due to enemy attacks in the second half of the 24th century. A deep analysis of the situation made it clear that the aggressor comes from the Velian star system. It is there that the Federation is sending an expeditionary corps to destroy the hostile civilization that threatens the very existence of the human race and to investigate the fate of the missing colonists. You are a trooper of the government army sent with the expeditionary force to attack Velian. As you accomplish missions given to you at the headquarters, you get new opportunities in selection of weapons and military equipment. Each mission will also get you closer to the secret of the origin of the Velian anomaly of the human race.[b]Minimum:[/b] Windows 2000, XP or Vista * 1.5 GHz CPU * 512 MB RAM * 128 MB VRAM * 4 GB HD space	Windows

Outlive	Take 2 Interactive (Continuum)	2001	Believe it or not, this was the first bearable Brazilian game created. Unfortunately, it sucks. That's right, it downright sucks. A cheap, half-arsed copy of Starcraft, wich in turn was already a copy of Warcraft, and that fact, allied with the game's nationality, explains why it made sucess only in Brazil. On a world: avoid. If you're not a Stracraft fan, you won't find anything to like. If you are, you will find a similar but worse game.	Windows

Among the accomplishments of the testing was the finding of at least 20 "impossible" bugs.[b]2008-02-12[/b] — WorldShift beta testing starts.RU [i]Akella[/i] BG [i]Black Sea Studios[/i] IT+ES [i]FX Interactive[/i] DE+INT [i]Black, Inc.[/i] (brand of RTL Games GmbH) UK? PlayLogic*DARK FUTURE LIES AHEAD In the 21st century, shortly after the colonization of our Solar System had begun, a huge dark object appeared beyond the orbit of Pluto. The object, called ‘Shard Zero' by the scientists, possessed some kind of a deadly aura, spreading mysterious ‘plague' of cosmic scale around itself, twisting and disrupting the very nature of space and life. There was no time for reaction, and all attempts to study the anomaly remained futile. When we finally realized the object is moving on a collision course with our planet, it was too late. Shard Zero hit Earth and that was the end of our civilization. WorldShift is set thousands of years later, when our civilization is no more than a fading myth. The remains of Shard Zero still are spreading its Plague, twisting and re-shaping Earth and its nature, sometimes in the course of centuries and sometimes in a matter of hours. Humans developed a new culture and now live in 5 mega-cities, struggling every day for the precious resources they need to survive. The rest of Earth is populated by the Tribes, successors of early humans, that were affected by the Plague. A NEW TAKE ON STRATEGY WorldShift is a next-gen cyber-fantasy RTS game designed to be quick and very easy to learn and play. It offers hectic, fierce encounters all around the Earth and a fascinating story uncovering ancient secrets about the true nature of the Shard and the Plague. But also, WorldShift introduces many features new to the genre, like modifiable factions, unqiue cooperative multiplayer gameplay, and more. ITEMS, RELICS AND THE ABILITY GRID In WorldShift, there are no technology trees featuring hundreds of upgrades; instead, WorldShift allows the players to discover and acquire a vast number of items and powerful relics that they can use to freely change their gameplay and preferred tactics and to surprise their foes. The players will gather items as they fight their opponents and as rewards for completing missions. But to discover the most powerful relics, they must form teams with their most trusted friends and embark on deadly missions where it is difficult to survive and where the real challenges await. GAME FEATURES Fast and furious multiplayer * Thousands of items and powerful relics to collect * Use items and relics to build your own tactics * The best cooperative, player-vs-environment gameplay ever made in RTS game * Random maps for infinite exploration * Unique blend of post apocalyptic setting, hi-tech and primitive * Epic, dangerous missions with great rewards * 3 playable races [Black Sea Studios]	Windows

In Bio-Hazard Battle, players must take on the mutant menace and restore order and harmony to the planet Avaron before it's too late. Through eight levels of intense action, they'll be up against some of the nastiest, most vile creatures they've ever seen, including things like mega amoebas, nuclear crabs, electroworms and gut-grabbing insects. They have four different Bioship fightercraft to choose from, each with unique handling capabilities and weapons systems. Hop into a fightercraft and save Avaron from certain doom in Bio-Hazard Battle.1 player, or 2 players. This game is VERY fun.

Evolva	Interplay Entertainment (Computer Artworks)	2000	[84]*Evolva was among the first games that utilized the new T&L technology.Suffers from severe flickering on GF8800GT and apparently did on cards used only 2-3 years after its release (I think it worked fine with GF2MX and R9500Pro), haven't found a fix for it and the issue is not visible in any screenshots I've taken (somehow the scene syncs perfectly for each screenshot). Twiddling with NV's control panel had no effect either nor the minimal options in the game itself. Therefore the cause of the issue is unknown. No other games I know suffer of similar problem to give any indication for possible solutions either. The glitch is similar to vsync tearing but instead of tearing, you have this horizontal band spanning the whole screen with no texturing for most objects, giving you a very distracting sort of x-ray vision.Latest version: 1.2.944 (as of 2000-07-27?)Evolva is a tactical shoot-em up which immerses the plater in a visually stunning 3D world and offers a rich and deep gameplaying experience. Driven by Computer Artworks' A-Life technology, the player takes control of a team of customisable creatures called Genohunters. The Genohunter adapts itself by killing and then absorbing its enemies DNA, thereby allowing itself to mutate to incorporate any useful abilities it may have acquired. Evolva mixes the excitement of a fast paced shoot-em-up with the tactical elements of a strategy game. Features fully interactive environments covering 12 lands across 3 continents and allows players to melt ice, torch plants, blow up rocks etc. * Weapons include fire breath, giant claws, electricity weapons, gene disruptors, necrocytes, flammable vomit. * Go head to head in multiplayer matches (LAN & Internet) to see who has evolved the most effective set of warriors. * Players can exchange Genohuners over the Internet.

Far Cry	Ubisoft (Crytek)	2004	[100]* [12]It came with graphics that are still not bad today, immense spaces and a difficulty and tactical complexity more typical of a Tom Clancy's than a traditional action game.

Genesis Rising	DreamCatcher Interactive;Akella;Nordic Games (Metamorf Studios)	2007	[b]racism/speciesism[/b] - humans were nearly wiped out because of this and returned the favor. Now, humans are pretty much the sole (sentient) species in the whole [i]universe[/i], except in this little corner of it that still remains outside of their control - and where the game incidentally takes place. And it still continues.*Latest version: 1.044 (as of ?)[b]Recommended:[/b] Windows 2000, XP, XP64 or Vista * 2.5 GHz Pentium IV or Athlon CPU * 1 GB RAM * 256 MB VRAM * GeForce FX 6600 or Radeon X1600 GPU * 2.5 GB HD space**Three thousand years in the far distant future after what was believed to be the arrival of "The Savior", Mankind has carved a bloody path across the known Universe. Considering themselves a divine race and beyond reproach as a species, they view all alien races as inferior. Those that do not bend and acknowledge the infinite superiority of the Human genome are subsequently punished or simply destroyed. This dominion over almost all sentient life forms was only attainable through the creation and exploitation of the ‘organids' – genetically designed organic technology, easily adaptable to any enemy strategy through the introduction of seeds into the blank genetic makeup of these living machines. The governing body directing the initiative is "The Chair of Three" on which the representatives of three Human factions reside: The Military, the Church and the Judicature. Only one part of the Universe remains unconquered: The galaxy where the Universal Heart; an enigmatic entity that spawned all life and matter into the universe, is hidden. At least, that's what the Chair of Three believes. As Captain Iconah, you have been commissioned to uncover the location and purpose of the Heart. A battle-hardened fleet commander and a brilliant genetic designer, you must follow in your father's footsteps; quelling the alien insurgences, outsmarting pirate cohorts and uncovering the lost galaxy and the secrets hidden within. The fate of Humankind rests on the path you choose; take command and lead your fleet to a glorious destiny and ensure the survival of the species! FEATURES Genesis Rising is a space RTS that incorporates the best elements of role-playing games; immersing the player in a rich back story and drawing them into an epic crusade that they won't soon forget. * The non-linear single player campaign is comprised of over 30 branching missions that unfold as choices are made based on the actions you take. * Resource gathering, technology upgrades, and combat are refined, making Genesis Rising accessible to even the most novice RTS players. * A co-op mode in which two players can work together and control one fleet! * All of the 20+ gene-based organid ships in the game can be customized with over 50 different weapons and abilities; giving the player thousands of possible combinations to choose from when constructing a fleet. * As genes are inserted, ship models will morph in real-time to reflect the choices that you make! * Many non-player character alien races share the vast emptiness of space with Humankind. Make alliances with other races to secure their support and technology, or purge them completely and take whatever you want! * Expand your genetic capabilities through the invasion of enemy vessels, steal unsuspecting technology and maximize your gene bank's diversity. * Change genetic makeup on-the-fly and adjust your approach based on your enemy's fleet; recycling unused genes to meet any demand. * GameSpy Multiplayer featuring 12-player support and many multiplayer maps on which to flex your dominance! * The universal resource in the game is Blood Air, which in addition to genes, can be harvested from the lifeless carcasses of organid ships.

STORY The story begins in A.D. 2741 on a distant planet called Morningstar Prime, a world initially colonized during the 24th century by Crayven Corporation from Earth. Morningstar Prime is but one of hundred planets discovered during mankinds reemergence from the Third World War. Morningstar Prime resembles Earth in many ways, it features indigenous life forms and a similar but still different flora and fauna. The Great War with the Terran Empire has forced the originally democratic twelve city-states of Morningstar Prime to unite under one military leader and the flag of the Northern Star Alliance. Battlefield Lost During the First Stellar War in the 25th Century, the Crayven Corporation lost contact with the colony on Morningstar Prime, leaving them and the other colonies in the outer fringes to fend for themselves. In 2701, the new Terran Empire returned to the outer fringes with the intent of reconquering those colonies. The Imperial forces initially expected little resistance, having assumed that Morningstar would have been devastated and regressed like many other outer colonies. The first Imperial strike was sudden and savage but the NSA managed to defeat the strike fleet, much thanks to the military competence and leadership of Fleet Admiral T Parker. The initial victory allowed NSA to improve their defenses and gear up for war. Fleet Admiral T Parker, an experienced and wise commander knew that they had won the battle but not the war. She initiated several projects that would search for a long-term solution to the threat from the Terran Empire. In the following years, the war continued to be fought in space. For several years the Terran Empire attacked NSA space, destroying its colonies one by one, enslaving the people and getting closer to Morningstar Prime, the NSA home world. In 2730, after 29 years of constant war, NSA lost the last of their huge Fortress class ships along with the majority of all their capital ships in a decisive battle outside Morningstar. The NSA had in one single battle lost all their space capability and was at the mercy of the Empire. The Terran Empire ignored all negotiations for peace, they held true to their long-kept tradition: leave no pardon, no surrender. Fortunately, Fleet Admiral T Parkers' legacy was already in action. Huge electromagnetic domes had been erected on Morningstar Prime to shield the largest cities from orbital bombardment. But they never had the time nor the resources to shield all cities; millions died in month long planetary bombardments. Several urban areas were reduced to piles of rubble and eerie graveyards. The war entered a brief state of stalemate, as the Empire was unable to penetrate the shields while the NSA were being held prisoners in their own shields. The stalemate was broken when the Empire managed to land their first troopships in the bombarded regions outside the domes. Jacob Angelus' Company has been sent to Morningstar capitol, where situation is becoming more and more critical and desperate. For NSA, destiny is at hand; its only hope lies in an ancient and forgotten legend...	Windows
