Alan Wake Remedy Entertainment2012Muy buena atmósfera, con una elaborada historia y un sistema de combate innovador aunque algo repetitivo. Es un survival horror peculiar.

Como jugar a un libro de Stephen King.

8 de 10***When the wife of the best-selling writer Alan Wake disappears on their vacation, his search turns up pages from a thriller he doesn’t even remember writing. A Dark Presence stalks the small town of Bright Falls, pushing Wake to the brink of sanity in his fight to unravel the mystery and save his love.

Presented in the style of a TV series, Alan Wake features the trademark Remedy storytelling and pulse-pounding action sequences. As players dive deeper and deeper into the mystery, they’ll face overwhelming odds, plot twists, and cliffhangers. It’s only by mastering the Fight With Light combat mechanic that they can stay one step ahead of the darkness that spreads across Bright Falls.

With the body of an action game and the mind of a psychological thriller, Alan Wake’s intense atmosphere, deep and multilayered story, and exceptionally tense combat sequences provide players with an entertaining and original gaming experience.

Alan Wake's American Nightmare Remedy Entertainment2012Enfocándose más en la acción que el título original, y con una ambientación más Pulp que Thriller, aunque narrativamente sea algo más pobre es mucho más entretenido y jugable que la primera entrega.

Recomendable.

Brütal Legend  EA Partners (Double Fine Productions)2009Guided by sacred power chords and blessed bass drums, Tim Schafer and his team of metal historians at Double Fine Productions have cracked the primeval secrets to the Age of Metal. Together, the two groups have reconstructed and realized the events that took place eons ago, allowing future generations to pay respect and experience first-hand the blood, sweat and chrome needed to ensure metal prevailed. Brütal Legend is the chronicle of Eddie Riggs, a roadie of a virtuous metal band, pulled back in time to learn his true purpose. Offered the wealth and knowledge of an ancient kingdom in exchange for assembling a legion of his own design, the roadie commands a barbaric mob of demons, dragsters, amp stacks, leather, and chrome. Together they thunder across the land in the ultimate Tour of Destruction, driving the ancient world headlong into the Age of Metal. Piecing the period of time when a divine society used raw materials of ROCK and hot rods which lay dormant in this land, experts at Double Fine also revealed the fantastic nature of this world where Big-block V8 engines were dug out of the ground like minerals. Exhaust pipes were cut from trees made of chrome and a luminous sky was lit up with heavenly lighters held up by the gods. PS3labelimagesubject

Burn:Cycle  Philips (TripMedia)1995You play data thief Sol Cutter in a very Johnny Mnemonic-like plot. You have just pulled off a major data theft, but in doing so you've infected yourself with a neural virus, named Burn:Cycle, which will literally turn your brain into goo in 2 hours. Unless that is, you can find a cure while you simultaneously try to avoid the people whom you stole the data from.

Why are they chasing you if you're gonna die anyway? How do you get rid of this virus? What does it all mean? You'll try to figure that out in this game which plays like a Cyberpunk The Journeyman Project, in full screen and with more action sequences. Gameplay consists of first-person action and puzzle sequences spiced up with video in-between.***Review fot both PC and Mac versions.

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.

Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight  LucasArts1997
[84]***Aunque apuntaba a ser mejor que el primer Dark Forces, con armamento variado, sable y poderes de la fuerza, y un control 3D completo, pierde todas sus virtudes por un diseño de niveles mediocre y unos enemigos predecibles y aburridísimos, ya por no hablar de los cortos y las dotes de interpretación de los actores.
Y para rematar da fallos constantemente, tanto gráficos como de juego.
Una pena, porque el multijugador deja claro lo entretenido que puede ser el juego con oponentes dignos.

[English WIP]
While it aimed to be better than the first Dark Forces, with varied weaponry, lightsaber, force powers, and full 3D control, it loses all its virtues because of mediocre levels, predictable foes and boring design. Not to mention the shorts and the acting skills of the actors. And to top it gives failures constantly, both graphics and game. A pity, because the multiplayer makes it clear how entertaining the game can be with worthy opponents.

Harvester Virgin;Merit Studios (DigiFX Interactive)1996The year is 1953. When Steve Mason awakens in the quiet North American town called Harvest, he cannot remember anything. People claim to know him and even to be related to him, but he does not recall their names. As he explores the strange town, he encounters more and more eccentric people, whose behavior is difficult to explain. Everyone keep telling him that he should join the Lodge, the headquarters of the mysterious Order of the Harvest Moon. Steve is determined to find out the truth about the town and about himself, but he doesn't know that this truth is more horrifying than he could have ever imagined...

Harvester is essentially a point-and-click, puzzle-solving adventure game. Though a weapon-shaped icon allows the player to attack characters, this can only be done as a solution to a puzzle, in order to advance the game's plot at specific points. The largest bulk of the gameplay is dedicated to traditional adventure activities: talking to characters and manipulating inventory items to solve puzzles. "Hot spots" indicate interaction possibilities, as in most adventure games of that period. The game features video cut scenes with live actors; for gameplay portions, digitized animations of the actors are super-imposed over pre-rendered background graphics.***

With amnesia and a whole bunch of crazy people that don't make a lot of sense, you got to figure out what is going on. Welcome to the 1950s, 40 years before the make of this game. Confused, you must talk to everyone and find out what is going on.
You cannot live in Harvest without becoming a Harvester!

You are playing as Inspector Zebok who has a new case to solve: the death of a notary - natural death or murder? The gameplay consists basically of three actions: going to certain destinations and search them, questioning witnesses and giving orders to your staff. When searching a place you have to click on interesting items in the video window and watch a video of Zebok's actions. It is possible to miss clues and make the game impossible to beat. At the start of the game you have to choose your staff of six people out of about 20. You can't use them anytime, just at certain places. Win3.1labelimagesubject
İstanbul Efsaneleri  Raks New Media (SiliconWorx)2005The game takes place in a parallel world where various things from our past, both real and fantastic, are still around. The game notably makes user of digitised video of live action actors in 'period' sets and costume. The main mode and combat mode together look and function very similar to an [url=/groups/info/goldboxengine]AD&D Gold Box[/url] game.***İstanbul Efsaneleri (Legends of Istanbul) saga is a humourous fairy tale taking place in a fantasy world. It is comprised of fantastic and funny stories in a suspiciously contemporary-feeling setting which resembles the current world we live in, but with a twist.
This mystical city also known as "İstanbul" for short, is not only a fun setting with a potential of incredible incidents taking place in its dark alleys, where tragi-comic stories of adventure, suspense, love, betrayal and laughter are revealed, but also a fantasy land where "Silikon Baba" (Father Silicon), with his white beard, looks for adventurers from dawn till dusk and from dusk till dawn.
This strangely familiar city of "Istanbul" forms the basis of the legend, with its Maganda's, Memur's, Lavuk's (general stereotypes of people found in Turkish public life) and various other non-human races and monsters dwelling in its streets, extraordinary animals, meta-pyshical incidents and an aura of fun that encompasses it. The great history of this city, from the far past to the not-so-far future, is told in an absurd comedy style. This humourous fantastic history which stretches form the ancient times that are fading from memory to the times in a forseeable future, includes strange mythical events taking place anywhere in that stretch, barbarian raids, rabbit races, complicated conspiracies, wars taking place among the city dwellers, Cooncan parties (a popular pastime among the elderly) and of course amazing and unique stories about acts of heroism.

Phantasmagoria Sierra On-Line (Sierra)1995A writer named Adrienne Delaney has just moved into an old mansion with her photographer husband Donald. Shortly after moving in, Adrienne begins to experience horrifying nightmares and have odd encounters inside the creepy old abode. Furthermore, the house is having a severe effect on her husband, changing him for the worse. Adrienne must discover the secret of the house before the unknown force consumes her husband, and unravel the terrible events that have happened in the past.

Phantasmagoria is an adventure game that places heavy emphasis on full motion video for exposition and cutscenes at various junctures to advance the storyline. Adrienne is represented as a digitized character roaming around pre-rendered settings in the house. She inspects various rooms, finds items, adds them to her inventory, finds places to use the items, and triggers advancements in the plot.

Puzzle-solving element is present, though reduced compared to most other adventure games made by Sierra. There are seven chapters in the game, as well as a status screen that tracks the player's progress within the chapter. If the player happens to get stuck in the game, a talking skull icon who identifies himself as the hintkeeper can supply the player with hints on request. It is possible to start playing the game from any chapter.***

Phantasmagoria Sierra On-Line (Sierra)1995This might be an obscure release. As you know, Bob, make distributors, stores, and other software outlets refused to deal with Phantasmagoria sometimes because of the subject matter (violence, gore, sex, rape) but mostly because of the perceived subject matter and the ardent insistence by most anyone except the creators, of this game marketed to adults, was in fact a ploy to corrupt young children (the "M" rating, the screenshots on the back of the box, definitely targeted at young children¡) .

The PH1PATCH.SEA.HQX patch is required to corrects some (not all) of the Unimplemented Trap and System 11 lockup errors that occur when saving at the end of a chapter.

The term [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phantasmagoria]Phantasmagoria[/url] comes from a type of theater popular from the late 18th to 19th century. A kind of slideshow magic show, owners of pubs or coffee houses (generally not frequented by children) would use glass and mirrors to project macabre photographs or sculpture onto walls or even seemingly into mid air. Frequent observation by individuals with already questionable metal state could induce the mental condition known as phantasmagoria (remembering seeing while awake, a series of real or imagined macabre images as if in a dream state). One Phantasmagoria operator, and professional physicist, became so good at terrifying people as to convince even the stable-minded that the ghosts, devils, skeletons, and other fantastic terrors he displayed were real and his to command. He was arrested and sued on multiple occasions by patrons and public prosecutors, but especially by competitors. I guess things haven't changed that much.

Phantasmagoria: A Puzzle Of Flesh  Sierra On-Line1996Curtis Craig is a thirty-year-old man whose distorted childhood is filled with horrors. His father was involved in an illegal, top-secret experiment for a company called WynTech Industries. Nearly nothing is known about the true nature of this experiment; but something in it affected the sanity of Curtis' mother, eventually driving her to suicide. Curtis' father was later shot, leaving the poor little boy with serious behavioural disturbances, and eventually in therapy.

Now, a year after having been released from the mental institution, Curtis is employed at WynTech Industries, whose manager, Paul Warner, has seemingly taken it upon himself to take care of Curtis. He tries to find the cause of his psychotic episodes and the mysterious murders that break out all around him, all the while discovering more and more about his past life and his father's fate.

Phantasmagoria: A Puzzle of Flesh is not an actual sequel to the original Phantasmagoria, but rather a follow-up that has similar themes and visual concept. The game is more heavy on puzzles and traditional adventure gameplay than its predecessor. The gameplay involves standard activities found in adventure games, including extended conversations with the characters featuring selectable dialogue topics, collecting and manipulating inventory items with the environment, etc. It is possible (and often necessary) to call characters on the phone, as well as check and answer e-mails accessed by Curtis' computer at his workplace.

Like its predecessor, the game has a simple point-and-click interface and employs video sequences with live actors as cutscenes. Short movies are usually shown after each action performed by the protagonist.***
