| Alien Swarm | Valve (Black Cat Games;Valve) | 2010 | Alien Swarm is a game and Source SDK release from a group of talented designers at Valve who were hired from the Mod community. Available free of charge, the game thrusts players into an epic bug hunt featuring a unique blend of co-op play and squad-level tactics. With your friends, form a squad of four distinct IAF Marine classes. Plan your attack using an unlockable arsenal of weapons with countless loadout configurations against a wide variety of aliens. Blaze your way through an overrun, off-world colony, eradicating the alien infestation in environments ranging from the icy planet's surface, to a subterranean lava-flooded mining facility. Along with the game get the complete code base for Alien Swarm that features updates to the Source engine as well as the SDK. Alien Swarm adds 3rd person camera, depth of field, improved dynamic shadows and a wide variety of gameplay additions to the Source engine. * Tactical, 4 player co-op action game with a top-down perspective * Complete game code and mod tools * Unlock persistent items by gaining levels * Over 40 weapons and equipment with countless loadout configurations * 4 unique classes and 8 unique characters * Matchmaking, Steam Cloud, Steam Stats * 64 achievements * Tile-based map generation tool * Powered by Source and Steam***More outlying human colonies have fallen to Swarm attacks this month, the most notable of which being the research base of Tau Ceti 5. This base was known for its intensive research on the alien threat, having produced a number of papers on their behaviour and biological makeup, information the ISAF paid a great deal for. It's unknown whether the attack on this base was caused by the recent presence of a number of recently captured live bugs or whether it was just a random attack. [Valve Steam]***Alien Swarm: Infested is an upcoming action strategy game featuring a unique blend of co-op play and squad level tactics all in an overhead view. As a Commander in the Interstellar Armed Forces, your job is to guide your squad and successfully complete their mission against the ravages of the Swarm infestation, a threat which plagues mankind across the breadth of colonized space.

| Red Faction: Armageddon | THQ;Syfy Games (Volition) | 2011 | Un juego de acción con un especial énfasis en la destrucción del entorno. Aunque peca de ser mucho más lineal que el anterior juego (Red Faction Guerrilla), presenta una historia principal mucho más pulida. Bastante bueno, aunque se hecha de menos el estilo sandox del Guerrilla. Por otra parte tanto los escenarios como las formas diversas de destruirlos y reconstruirlos (esto último es nuevo en esta entrega) hacen repetir escenarios más divertido que nunca. 6 de 10***[b]Minimum:[/b] * Windows XP, [Vista,] or 7 * 2 GHz dual-core CPU * 2 GB RAM * 320 MB VRAM * GeForce 88xx or Radeon HD30xx GPU * 7.5 GB HD space [b]Recommended:[/b] * Any quad-core or 3 GHz dual-core CPU * 4 GB RAM * 1 GB VRAM * GeForce GTX 400 series or Radeon HD5000 series GPU***Half a century after the Red Faction resistance and their Marauder allies freed Mars from the brutal Earth Defense Force, harmony on Mars is again threatened but this time by a lethal force shrouded in mystery. When the massive Terraformer that supplies Mars with its Earth-like air and weather is destroyed, the atmosphere turns to chaos, super-tornados and lightning storms engulf the planet. To survive, the Colonists flee to the underground mines and build a network of habitable caves. Five years later, Darius Mason, grandson of Martian Revolution heroes Alec Mason and Samanya, runs a lucrative business from Bastion, underground hub of Colonist activity. Mining, scavenging, mercenary work--if the job is dangerous, Darius is your man. Few sane people now venture to the ravaged surface, aside from contractors like Darius and the smugglers who run goods between the settlements. When Darius is tricked into reopening a mysterious shaft in an old Marauder temple, he releases a long-dormant evil and unleashes Armageddon on Mars. As Colonist and Marauder settlements are torn asunder, only Darius and the Red Faction can save mankind. The battle will take them across the storm-blasted planet--and below it, to the very heart of the unspeakable threat. Red Faction®: Armageddon™ expands on the critically acclaimed, best-selling franchise with new, groundbreaking challenges. You are humanity’s last hope for survival. Key features: * Infestation Mode – Survive waves of enemy hordes in a 1-4 player cooperative, objective-based experience. * Ruin Mode – Master the tools of destruction in competitive and casual destruction-based modes. * Hell on Mars – Darius Mason can only watch as the surface of Mars is destroyed. Seeking solace underground, an even greater threat emerges against humanity. * Nano Forge – Unleash the devastating force of the Nano Forge with massive concussive blasts or reconstruct downed colonist defences with Geo-Mod 2.0. * Martian Underground – The truth behind an ancient evil will force Darius to wage a battle across the devastated Martian surface, beneath massive frozen glaciers, and over rivers of broiling magma. | Windows | labelimagesubject |

| Scorched Earth | author | 1991 | An artillery game variant with 10 types of vehicles (tanks), many environmental factors, many defensive options, up to 10 computers and/or human players, and a massive number of types and variants of offensive weapons and items. Players earn currency by kill count to buy these gidgemits and gazmoes. The arms dealer has limited supply and uses a persistent economy (both optional). Players can sell anything back to the dealer, possibly to make a profit. Players earn interest on their capitol based the economy. The environment can be annoying and hostile to all players. Gravity, wind, lightning strikes, earthquakes, landslides, even meteorites. Two plain text files in the game's directory contain taunts and dying words. Users can translate or edit these files as they like. The economy and most other options can also be tweaked in this way. Players take turns moving, activating defenses, tweaking vehicle options, and/or selecting a weapon/attack. Amongst the multitude of possibilities. Weapons are launched at a chosen speed and angle like most artillery games. Strategy is usually simple in artillery games. But all the additional gameplay elements here can interact in many, many ways so that strategy is a major element. Players can direct their vehicles to drive over or fall on top of others, to cause damage to both. The idea being the player causes more damage to their opponent than themselves, but this requires just the right terrain and conditions to favor the attacker. Damage can be caused to the pixel terrain for this and other purposes. Players can attempt to bury each other or themselves. Terrain protects but also limits attack options and even some defense options. Among defense options are several types of shields. Some are a force field that causes weapons to detonate. Others are 'soft' and absorb a percentage of damage. Another type is reflective so that a weapon bounces elsewhere, hopefully into another player or even back at the shooter. All these have pros, cons, and Achilles heals. The better a shield is, the worse it is for the defender if an opponent manages to fire [I] from inside [/I]. Another example, in the right conditions, a skillful shot can be fired so it skips across the bouncy shields of several opponents, depleting energy from all of them. Also, if the wind is right, a skilful bounced shot falls right back on the same opponent multiple times until the opponent's energy is entirely depleted. Everything except regular angle and speed attacks takes energy, especially defenses. Moving and some special weapons also take energy. An alternative mode allows each player to merely plan their turn. When all players are finished, their orders are executed simultaneously. Yet another play mode (in v1.5) isn't turn based. Up to 10 players play simultaneously. This is where Gravis Gamepad compatibility really helps. Any extra players beyond 4, for Gravis Gamepad, or 2 for PC joysticks, must share the keyboard. To begin, the number and type of players are chosen. Options are set. Any of the extra options can be disabled so that even and ordinary artillery game with only one type of tank and infiweapon are used. The number of rounds is set. Each round ends when one player or none is left alive. Currency earned is then used to buy (and/or sell) weapons, defenses, and accessories. A new round begins until last round ends. Players are then shown their rank. Later versions were written in Borland C++ and Turbo Assembler (author implied in documentation that free tools were used previously). Versions before 1.0 were freeware and lacked most of the features of the shareware version. Shareware versions had many featured removed that were available in the registered versions. Many revisions followed, up until the final 1.5. v1.5 was mostly nagware, having all features of the registered version except for the tri-turret tank. The registered version does come with a deluxe bound manual edition of the HTML documentation. The network/modem play was planned but never implemented. There are way to many things to list here.***Originally freeware, turned shareware on 1991-06-20. | MS-DOS | labelimagesubject |
| Shadowgrounds | Plan 1;Meridian4 (Frozenbyte) | 2005 | Juego de acción cenital. Aunque su historia y jugabilidad son bastante corrientes, su control y cámara marcan la diferencia por su perfecto manejo. Además el hecho de la batería limitada hace usarla cuando es debido (no sólo cuando hay oscuridad) un elemento clave, trayendo reminiscencias del primer Half-Life. De lo mejor de este tipo de juegos, aunque la secuela Shadowgrounds:Survivor es mejor. 6 de 10***[b]distorted vision[/b] - getting poisoned causes this***Shadowgrounds breathes fresh air into the action genre with explosive combat sequences, an innovative weapon upgrade system, and an intriguing storyline. The adrenaline-pumping, top-down gameplay and audiovisual fireworks set the scene for this new action experience which also includes single computer (split keyboard or joystick) co-op play.

DESTRUCTIBLE ENVIRONMENT! What good are weapons and special effects if you can't wreak havoc on the environment? Shadowgrounds lets you go all-out - glass shatters, ground shakes, trees fall, barrels explode and furniture blows to smithereens. You can use the environment to your advantage. THEY'RE BIG AND NASTY! Big, brutal monsters await you. Prepare to face many different bosses who will do anything to stop your journey. They're nasty, blood-thirsty beasts, but don't give in to fear - remember to use the environment and the lighting to your advantage! * Upgrade weaponry with powerful modifications. * Face enormous monsters in boss battles. * Destructible environment allows you to wreak havoc with your arsenal. * Visit many exciting locations, including a secret military base and the alien-infested colony New Atlantis. * Fight side-by-side with NPC allies against the massive alien hordes. * Check security cameras and computer logs to investigate alien origins. * Realistic lighting with gameplay effects bring the aliens out of the shadows. * Enjoy horrifying sound effects and a thrilling music soundtrack made exclusively for Shadowgrounds.

Un buen juego, de lo mejorcito si te gustan los TD. 7 de 10***[b]Modes:[/b] * 1-4p campaign (multiplayer defaults to 2p) * 2p campaign (one player controls construction, another support powers) * 1-4p survival (default 4p; endless) * 1-8p versus (Wars; default 2p) * 1-6p cooperative (default 3p) | Windows | labelimageminimize |
| Teleglitch | Test3 Projects;Paradox Interactive (Test3 Projects) | 2012 | 2012-11-24 Original release 2013-07-24 Die More Edition***Un shooter roguelike con una estética de pixel rancio y una dificultad elevada, a veces más por la escasez de recursos que por los enemigos per se. Destaca por un sistema de crafteo tan extenso como sencillo de usar. 7 de 10***Teleglitch is a roguelike top-down shooter with pixel graphics. The game takes place in procedurally generated military research & training complex that has a different map every time you play. Our mission is to give players like you a chance to walk in the dark corridors, gripping their gun and few last rounds of ammunition. To play with finger on the trigger, high on adrenaline. We want to give you the, paranoid, sweaty, and bloody hard kind of fun. The Teleglitch universe: See the future where humanity is controlled by cold, dark mega-corporations. One of them is Miliary Technology Incorporated (aka Militech), one of the world’s largest military research organizations, specializing in necrotic tissue reactivation and nonhuman combatants (zombies, cloned battle organisms, robots etc). Far out in the edge of colonized space lies Medusa 1-C, a cheap planet with lethal atmosphere. There is only one building on the entire planet – a huge military research & training complex. Unfortunately, something goes very wrong in that base. All you know is that most of the facility personnel have been killed, microchipped and reactivated as combatants by the central processing AI of the facility. Except for yourself, a scientist with an incredibly strong will to survive. Features: * 20+ types of various opponents * 40+ types of weapons and items * 10 levels that radically change their structure every time you play * 10+ hours of play time (it gets harder the further you get, surprise) * Detailed Database with juicy back story and useful info of each monster * Option to combine all weapons and items into new awesome gear, such as the can gun (empty can + nails + explosive) or the high velocity light machinegun that shoots armor piercing depleted uranium bullets (result of modding the standard assault rifle). * A sinister narrative filled with greedy military corporations, risky experiments and will to survive. Everything scientifically accurate, of course.***[media=youtube]7tcxT_WxItE[/media] | Windows | labelimagesubject |
