Alien Shooter - Revisited	Sigma Team	2009	Un mata-mata ordinario, cuyo únicos factores reseñables son la habilidad que tiene la historia de meterte en apuros y la cantidad de zonas secretas que tiene el juego. Mediocre. 3 de 10***Effectively the same game as the original Alien Shooter, but with improved graphics (on par with Alien Shooter 2, no longer the garish and brightly colored what it once was), and with some other improvements from the sequel brought back to the old, namely weapon reloading and flashlight upgrade. The levels have been stretched a bit to give more free space to move in without appearing strange. The general shape of the levels is identical, enemies are also nearly identical to the old with largest changes to their ranged attacks. The standard pistol has been replaced with an uzi that is much more useful, although is only useful against green enemies (color coding is identical to the original). Also, if you lose all your lives, you no longer have to replay the whole game to retry, but start of the mission (you can freely replay already finished missions in similar manner).	Windows
Alien Shooter 2 - Reloaded	Sigma Team	2009	Notable differences with the original are missing voice overs, the lack of separate weapon skills - you no longer need certain level on a weapon skill to use more powerful weapons - and the damage modifier has been merged with accuracy skill (formerly this was purely accuracy, now it's universal weapon skill, offering both increased accuracy and some damage improvements). This simplifies your weapon choices to economic issues. Implants no longer have intelligence requirement and you can only have one implant in use at any time, effectively making intelligence almost pointless (formerly lack of intelligence restricted more powerful implants from your use and you could have 3 implants total in use). Armor skill has been removed completely, allowing anyone to wear any armor they want. And then there's the additional missions (missions 8 and 9, a small town). And net ranking.***Alien Shooter 2 - Reloaded is a modified version of the Alien Shooter 2 game. We started working on it right after release of AS2, taking into account the players' wishes. Well, here's the list of what we've done: 1. Size of the full version installation file was reduced to 300 Mb, compared to 1Gb of the original Alien Shooter 2. Large installation file prevented users with slow connection from buying and downloading the game. 2. Player upgrade parameters simplified. Now you don't need to develop separate skills for each weapon type, so you'll be able to complete the game using all the weapon types featured in it. 3. Two new missions added. Now the game features 17 full levels. 4. New individual shooting mode added - Gun Stand. You will use powerful military equipment to eliminate advancing enemy troops. As the game goes on, you will upgrade your weapon in different ways, and the right choice will let you win the battle! [Sigma Team]	Windows

Inevitably, the pressure from public outcry to stop the madness grew to an irresistible level; the military forces of the world slowly but steadily retooled their outlooks, weapons, and tactics to combat people who were willing to die for their cause. By 2100, the world was more or less at peace, with continued discord in some regions as modernized military forces sought to track down and destroy the remaining terrorist cells that continued to fight and harass civilian and military alike. Regardless, as this war began to wane, it slowly moved out of the public's eye, and they began to pick up the pieces and try to make better lives for themselves. Not since the years following World War II had such prosperity been felt across the planet; even war-ravaged regions received a "Marshall Plan" of sorts, having their infrastructures built up far beyond what they ever were before. As prosperity grew, so too did the ventures of capitalism. In this day and age, science was the 'new capitalism,' fueling the growth of amazing new technologies. The first high-profile ventures into the creation of a viable fusion energy source, an offshoot of the efforts of the aging multinational oil companies, began in 2105 in the United States, with the backing of billions of dollars in venture and government capital. The International Power Initiative of 2112, an agreement among nations investing in the fusion power project, but eventually including many hundreds of other projects based on energy, radically restructured how science was to approach new energy sources. The level of freedom granted to a group of corporations might have been dangerous one hundred years ago, but it was felt that today since there was not a rivalry in the race to find the secrets of fusion power first, that giving a corporation autonomy to do what it needed to do would foster creativity and growth on an unheard-of scale. It didn't. [Sigma Team]	Windows

On arrival he is briefed by the PTMC representative (revealed to the audience to be named Dravis) on his next missing over his objections that he has fulfilled his contract.

Gradius	Konami	1986	[100]* [17]* [62]* [49]* [33]* [49]* [1]* [52]Although UPC 0-83717-11001-0 appears on the USA Gradius box, this is barcode with an invalid checksum and it is not in the UPC database (no invalid codes are). 0-83717-11001-9 is on the Federal Republic of German box and is most certainly the intended code for the USA version as well, and is the registered UPC code for USA Gradius. Gradius ArchiMENdes is a special edition given as a contest prize. Pills in the game are replaced with bowls of ramen noodles.Gradius is one or two steps beyond every other Famicom/NES shooting game released at its time. The game ends the time where shooting games would loop endlessly. Gradius features several very different designed levels with great graphics and music as well as a clever extra-weapon upgrade system and good playability.*Across the galaxy, there exists a distant planet known as Gradius. Gradius’ peaceful existence has been brought to an end by an intense space invasion by a race known as the Bacterion. To save the planet, the hyperspace fighter Vic Viper has been deployed to fight the Bacterion invasion. Players pilot the Vic Viper through seven stages, shooting and dodging through deadly obstacles, while using various power-ups, including missiles, lasers, options and shields. The Vic Viper’s target is the enemy fortress, Xaerous. The only way to end the war is to plunge deep through the enemy forces and destroy its very core.	NES

Kerbal Space Program	Squad;Take-Two Interactive (Squad)	2015	Tag notes. Accepting a contract that gives an advance does not even suggest to the player that using that money elsewhere is always unethical and also nearly always illegal. In fact, there is no enforcement; cancellation, completion, or failure of the contract and modification of reputation, science points, and/or funds are the only rules. This makes embezzlement very easy and useful with no consequences (should the contract be fulfilled on time using replacement funds) to the game or the conscience of the protagonist or the actual player (unless the player knows about real embezzlement. Many children and some adults do not, or won't recognize when they are doing it in the game). An extreme example of locationaldamage in the game would be having a only center connecting part of a rocket explode due to heat from reentry friction. The remaining two rocket parts could continue falling undamaged. They could each land safely if they each had antiquate parachutes or a functioning command module and fueled engine to land softly. The two parts could even reconnect into a sing craft if equipped with compatible docking ports (and if a skillful player could align them _during reentry_).	Linux
