Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars  Electronic Arts (EA Los Angeles)2007CnC3 is probably the hardest strategy game I know, and not because the AI is that good, but because it cheats so much. Even on the so called easy difficulty the game is frustratingly hard to even barely win (later) missions. Besides that I still like it, especially the revised GDI and the all new Scrin faction. As a game I would not recommend this to anyone but the masochistic players or diehard Tiberium series fans.***Latest version: 1.09 (as of ?)***March, 2047. A massive nuclear fireball explodes high in the night sky, marking the dramatic beginning to the Third Tiberium War and long-awaited return of the most groundbreaking Real-time Strategy franchise (RTS) of all time.

The critically-acclaimed Command & Conquer (C&C) series returns with Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars (C&C 3). Setting the standard for the future of RTS gaming once more, C&C 3 takes you back to where it all began—the Tiberium Universe.

In 2047, Tiberium has blanketed the Earth, which is now divided into zones based on the level of Tiberium infestation. Pristine Blue Zones represent 20% of the planet's surface and are the last refuge of the civilized world. Partially habitable Yellow Zones make up 50% of the planet's surface; most of the world's population lives in these war-torn and ecologically ravaged areas. The remaining 30% of the planet is uninhabitable, a Tiberium wasteland swept by violent Ion Storms. Red Zones are like the surface of an Alien planet.

The infamous Kane has returned to lead the Brotherhood of Nod in a massive global assault on the Global Defense Initiative and the few remaining Blue zones left on the planet. Only you can stop him. The fate of humanity – and the planet – is in your hands.

Featuring state-of-the-art, next-generation graphics, an epic story with live action, full-motion video sequences, and the classic fast-paced C&C style of play, C&C 3 sets the standard for the single player RTS experience.

When you decide to test your skills online, a suite of truly innovative features, such as the ability to transform online battles into a spectator sport, unfold.

Welcome back, Commander.

Papo & Yo Minority Media2014Papo and Yo stars Quico, a young boy with an abusive, alcoholic father who has fled into a Brazilian urban slum where magical physics can be layered upon the physics of the real world. By passing through chalk drawn doors, Quico gains access to the magical layer. Passing back through a door can avoid threats and obstacles unique to the magical layer. For instance, manipulating a stack of cardboard boxes moves nearby large favela dwellings. This one mechanic alone is important commentary. Favela dwellings are sometimes regarded as a ramshackle collection of scrap plywood, corrugated metal, plastic sheets, and of course cardboard boxes. In reality they are thoughtfully designed, very sturdy reinforced steel, brick, concrete, tile roofed bunkers that are likely tougher than the average home in so called "developed countries". Favela dwellings can be given legs to walk around with. Staircases can be pulled out of walls with magical thread. Residents of the magical layer are not necessarily welcoming. One particularly important character is a giant monster Quico comes to love. A friendly and helpful father figure at times. But he has an addiction to poisonous frogs. When under their influence, or suffering withdrawal from them, this monster is an immediate and overwhelming threat to all surrounding life and property. The player will be directing Quico not just through puzzles, but in complex social interactions. I don't want to give too much away, but I'll just say this is not Disneyesque magic world. In this world, magic offers no salvation, it is subject to the whims and abuse of realistic human darkness. Outside of the magical layer, real life is likewise presented realistically harsh.

Shadowrun Microsoft Game Studios (FASA Studio)2007Falling Leaf Systems released a patch that removes the Windows Vista limitation. This is not a patch that modifies the game, it merely keeps the game from checking which Window version it is running on. It runs fine on Windows XP, the OS check is entirely an artificial ploy to encourage XP users to stick themselves with Vista.
