| Aliens: Colonial Marines | Sega (Gearbox Software;TimeGate Studios;Nerve Software) | 2013 | Has been received extremely poorly, here's few things that go over why: * [url]http://www.destructoid.com/so-who-the-hell-did-make-aliens-colonial-marines--244939.phtml[/url] * [url]http://www.destructoid.com/gearbox-lied-about-aliens-from-e3-demo-to-retail-product-244966.phtml[/url] * [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lGXDM3LGnk[/url]***For any Aliens fans, this game will be horribly disappointing. Despite the gratuitous fanservice from including LV-426, Hadley's Hope, Sulaco, the Derelict and its dead Jockey pilot, Hicks, and various other things from the movies, this game utterly fails to deliver on the atmosphere of the films. Alien acidic blood is only a minor annoyance, player can trivially fight the aliens in melee, the aliens themselves seem incredibly lazy, the way player can carry ~10 different weapons with separate ammo for each, extremely linear locations, and whatever else make this feel unsatisfying when you come to it expecting a proper Aliens game. The license seems almost wasted on it considering how much they deviate from what fans of the franchise would expect. If they had made this a game with no ties to Aliens franchise it would've probably been half-decent, but as it is, it fails to be what it is supposed to be. The graphics are the main point where this actually is quite good at, though for PC game they're kinda low fidelity, but nothing you wouldn't expect from a game that's published on the usual platform trio (X360/PS3/PC). To summarize: fans of the Alien franchise, keep away. People who don't care for the franchise on the other hand, this can work as a mediocre tube shooter. | Windows | labelimageminimize |
| Aliens: Colonial Marines | Sega (Gearbox Software;TimeGate Studios;Nerve Software) | 2013 | Aliens: Colonial Marines is a first-person shooter based on the Aliens franchise and a sequel to the 1986 film Aliens, the second film in the series. The events take place directly after those of the film. The player takes control of the United States Colonial Marine Christopher Winter who is part of a search and rescue team that has to investigate the space ship U.S.S. Sulaco and what remains of Hadley’s Hope to find out what has happened to Ellen Ripley, Dwayne Hicks and the rest of the team that was sent to Acheron (LV-426), a fictional location as one of the three moons of Calpamos, located in the Zeta II Reticuli system. The team arrives on the space ship U.S.S. Sephora seventeen weeks after the distress call by Hicks was sent out. The single-player campaign consists of eleven missions. Gameplay is centered around shooting opponents and sometimes items in the environment require interaction to open doors and such to progress. Some of the included weapons are a pulse rifle, shotgun, pistol, RPG, flamethrower and smartgun. Sentry turrets can be set up to defend specific areas. The turrets, along with the flamethrower and the smartgun, are not permanently available but are reserved for specific sections. There is no limitation on the amount of weapons that can be carried at a single moment. There is a motion tracker to scan movement in areas 180 degrees in front of the character. Ammo and armour upgrades can be picked up along the way. A flashlight is used to illuminate dark environments and a welder is available to cut open doors. In additional there is an leveling/experience system unified for both single-player and multiplayer where the earned points can be used to unlock new attachments and aesthetic enhancements for weapons and the main character. Most of the missions are not played alone. There is a squad of AI-controlled team mates who assist. They act independently and their behaviour cannot be influenced by the player. Many missions take place inside the space ship, but also often outside. There are a few stealth segments where all weapons are removed and no sound can be made while walking through a large amount of aliens. Opponents include famous xenomorph aliens from the first three films, such as the chestburster, drone, facehugger, queen, warrior and runner. There are also new types, such as a boiler that can explode and a crusher. Certain levels include encounters with human soldiers from the Weyland-Yutani corporation with a different interest in the colony. There are also a number of boss fights. Multiplayer is available as a cooperative campaign for two (split-screen) or four (online) players. Competitive multiplayer modes include Escape, Extermination, Survivor and Team Deathmatch. Escape and Survivor draw inspiration for the Left 4 Dead series. In the first, four human players need to reach a destination, while in the second they need to barricade themselves and survive as long as possible. In both modes both sides (humans and aliens) are controlled by human players. Playing as xenomorphs, there is a large emphasis on using the environment to travel along walls, ceilings and through vents for unexpected attacks. Different types of aliens are available and these too have different customization options and attacks unlocked as the player levels up.*** [100]*** [12] | X360 | labelimagesubject |

| Call of Juarez: Gunslinger | Ubisoft (Techland) | 2013 | Volviendo a sus orígenes en el Salvaje Oeste, este Call of Juarez vuelve con Silas y sus aventuras en forma de flashback (narrativamente funciona de maravilla, le da un toque pulp al juego), contando las aventuras de su juventud como pistolero. El sistema de progreso es sencillo (tres ramas de habilidades, un punto por nivel) y elementos como los QTE y la clásica concentración pegan de maravilla. Además los duelos añaden la pequeña variación del honor, que facilita pasárselos si no te importa la puntuación. Los mapas son más o menos lineales pero con posibilidades de variación de rutas y emboscadas, y la acción varía muy acertadamente entre situaciones horizontales/verticales y cerca/lejos, de una forma más frecuente e inesperada de lo normal en los FPS. Una pena que el plataformeo sea algo torpe, ya que los mapas tienen muy buen diseño para andar por los tejados o saltar por encima de las coberturas. 7 de 10 Como nota al margen, la experiencia obtenida destruyendo botellas/calabazas/gallinas es un gracioso guiño a los tiroteos del género fílmico "spaghetti western". | Windows | labelimageminimize |

| Duke Nukem Forever | Take-Two Interactive (Gearbox Software;Piranha Games;Triptych Games) | 2011 | Surfaced now and then between 1997-2010 or so, earning itself the status as the best known vaporware.***Un juego gamberro, soez y de acción y destrucción absurdas. Aunque arrastra algunos elementos metidos a calzador y tiene el grave error de incluir un sistema de escudo nada clásico, simpre es satisfactorio jugar a un juego de acción donde puedes esquivar las balas sin ser El Elegido. Lo mejor las fases de canijo y el multijugador. Aunque no es un mal juego, no está a la altura de su antecesor o del reciente juego 2D protagonizado por el Duke. Eso sí, da para muchas risas. De todas formas: Hail to the king. 6 de 10***Contains references to at least the following games: * Doom 3 (teleporting to hell remarks, and possibly the dead [doomed] space marine remark when you find Isaac's helmet) * Dead Space (Isaac's helmet) * Halo (Spartan power armor) * Fallout New Vegas (defense of Hoover Dam and how the aliens can tap into it for limitless power or something)***[i]The King is Back![/i] Cocked, loaded and ready for action, Duke delivers epic ass-kicking, massive weapons, giant explosions and pure unadulterated fun! Put on your shades and step into the boots of Duke Nukem. The alien hordes are invading and only Duke can save the world. Pig cops, alien shrink rays and enormous alien bosses can’t stop this epic hero from accomplishing his goal: to save the world, save the babes and to be a bad-ass while doing it. The King arrives with an arsenal of over-the-top weapons, non-stop action, and unprecedented levels of interactivity. With hours and hours of action, and a range of bodacious multiplayer modes, rest assured knowing the fun goes on and on. [b]Story[/b] Did the Alien bastards not learn their lesson the first time? Duke has been on hiatus for some time now, kicking back and franchising himself on the fame he gained from saving Earth from the first invasion. The Aliens have returned to Earth yet again, messing up Duke’s sweet routine of dirty leisure habits. The Alien invaders are stealing Earth’s women, especially the hot ones! And they drank Duke’s beer. This. Won’t. Stand. As Duke battles his way through waves of aliens, the once beautiful gambling haven and Duke Nukem franchise chains are crumbling before his eyes. Time to bring the pain! [b]Features[/b] * Bust a Gut: Duke pulls no punches. Duke’s constant stream of hilarious one-liners throughout the game make this an out loud good time. * World Interactivity: Spend as much time as you want shooting hoops, lifting weights, playing pinball, pool, air hockey, and slots. * Scale & Variety: Packed with explosive FPS action, outlandish settings, driving, and puzzle solving — gamers will never tire of the endless FUN. * Multiplayer Like No Other: Classic modes are re-made with a Duke twist.

| F.E.A.R. 3 | WB Games (Day 1 Studios) | 2011 | Alma is expecting and a new level of terror grows as you and your cannibal brother battle through a hellish nightmare. Fight together or die alone on a deadly mission to confront your twisted mother. Players can take on the role of Point Man, a genetically enhanced soldier with superhuman reflexes and the ability to manipulate time, or the undead spirit of his brother Paxton Fettel, a paranormal entity who possesses incredible psychic powers. Key Features * Blood Runs Deep, F.E.A.R. Runs Deeper: F.E.A.R. 3 delivers all the hallmarks that define the F.E.A.R. brand: terrifying paranormal experience, frenetic combat and a dramatic storyline. * Never Face Fear Alone: F.E.A.R. 3 evolves the brand, introducing Divergent Co-op: deep, social gameplay that gives players distinctly different abilities that affect their own play as well as the experience of gamers they are playing with... or against. * Frenetic Combat: Active 360 degree cover, evolutionary slow-mo modes, scoring systems and best in class mech- combat aid players in facing an army of soldiers and paranormal enemies. * Experience the Almaverse: The game world is tainted by the Almaverse, the alternate dimension where Alma’s psychic essence subsists. New sinister and fantastical enemy creatures birthed in Alma’s warped mind spill into reality and intensify the panic. * Generative System: Proprietary technology creates random events to increase the feeling of isolation and unpredictability when playing alone or with a friend, and offers new experiences each time gamers play through. * Masters of Horror: Legendary film director John Carpenter and writer Steve Niles provide their expertise and guidance to take F.E.A.R. 3 ’s intensity to the next level. Niles co-wrote the twisted storyline that reveals the motivations and family dynamics of the main characters, and Carpenter helped craft the cinematics for maximum storytelling and fright factor.***Nine months ago, Point Man and his F.E.A.R. squad were tapped to stop an unknown man who had commandeered a secret battalion of telepathically-controlled supersoldiers at the Armacham research facility in the Northwestern US city of Fairport. During the mission Point Man learned that the man wasn’t working alone. In fact, the very people Point Man was working to destroy were his telepathic, cannibalistic brother, Paxton Fettel, and his tortured and psychically powerful mother, Alma Wade—products of Armacham’s perverse paranormal experiments. Despite this revelation, Point Man moved forward with the standing F.E.A.R. team orders to stop the targets at any cost. In a last-ditch attempt to end the pair’s homicidal rampage, the F.E.A.R. team set in motion an explosive series of events that seemingly accomplished their goal but at the cost of ravaging the city, its inhabitants and almost all of Point Man’s squad mates. For months following the blast, events in Fairport have made it clear that Alma’s psychic influence survived—and worse, her paranormal power is growing and spilling into reality. Now her supernatural agony repeatedly rocks the city as she attempts to secure the survival of her bloodline and reunite her family. Armacham’s security force remains violently focused on eliminating all evidence of the events in the city, and the remaining F.E.A.R squad carries on the mission to stop Alma. With the chain of command broken and Point Man calling his own shots, where will his allegiance lie? With his brother Paxton Fettel, back from the dead, arriving with an unclear agenda and refusing to leave Point Man’s side? With his pregnant mother Alma and her horrifically twisted, yet immensely powerful paranormal existence? Or with his remaining F.E.A.R. squad brethren who are hell bent on saving the world, but at the cost of destroying the only blood ties Point Man has ever had? | Windows | labelimagesubject |

| Ghost Recon Phantoms | Ubisoft (Ubisoft Singapore) | 2014 | Un FPS moderno con algunos elementos de personalización muy interesantes. Lo más notable del juego son las habilidades especiales y a gran cantidad de datos que ofrece al jugador (daño ejercido y sufrido, posibilidad de crítico), que añaden una dosis de estrategia notable al juego, una pena que no lo explote aún más (sería interesante ver mejoras del equipamiento que aportasen datos nuevos) Teniendo en cuenta que es gratuito, muy interesante de probar por estos elementos propios casi de un RPG. Si que le limita algo el no poder cambiar de clase entre rondas (algo comprensible dentro de la misma partida por las habilidades especiales, pero carente de sentido de ronda a ronda) Y el sistema de reporte o de silenciado de los que usan el chat para molestar o insultar es ejemplar. 6 de 10***2012-08-16 beta started | Windows | labelimageminimize |
| Homefront | THQ;Spike (Kaos Studios;Digital Extremes) | 2010 | The year is 2027. The world as we know it is unraveling after fifteen years of economic meltdown and widespread global conflict over dwindling natural resources. A once proud America has fallen, her infrastructure shattered and military in disarray. Crippled by a devastating EMP strike, the USA is powerless to resist the ever expanding occupation of a savage, nuclear armed Greater Korean Republic. Abandoned by her former allies, the United States is a bleak landscape of walled towns and abandoned suburbs. This is a police state where high school stadiums have become detention centers, and shopping malls shelter armored attack vehicles. A once-free people are now prisoners... or collaborators... or revolutionaries. Join the Resistance, stand united and fight for freedom against an overwhelming military force in Homefront’s gripping single player campaign penned by John Milius (Apocalypse Now, Red Dawn). Stand alongside a cast of memorable characters as an emotional plot unfolds in this terrifyingly plausible near-future world. Experience visceral, cinematic first-person shooter action as you fight your way across Occupied USA using guerrilla tactics, and commandeer military vehicles and advanced drone technology to defeat the enemy. Multiplayer brings epic warfare to the online arena as infantry, tanks, attack helicopters and combat drones battle across huge, open battlefields. A rich feature set offering layers of tactical depth combined with a game-changing innovation in the multiplayer space will set a new benchmark in online warfare. * [b]Discover a terrifyingly plausible near-future world[/b] – the familiar has become alien in this nightmare vision of Occupied USA * [b]Fight for a cause[/b] – join a cast of memorable characters as your resistance cell wages a guerrilla war against overwhelming military odds in the name of Freedom * [b]Witness the human cost of war[/b] – a gripping story from the pen of John Milius is told through immersive, interactive 1st person cut scenes * [b]Experience explosive FPS gameplay[/b] – battle through a dynamic mix of infantry and vehicle combat in a gripping single player campaign boasting intense, memorable set pieces * [b]Take the battle online[/b] – experience large scale multiplayer action like never before in epic infantry and vehicle warfare***[b]Minimum[/b] * Windows XP, Vista or 7 * 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo or 2.8 GHz Athlon X2 CPU * 2 GB RAM * 256 MB VRAM * GeForce 7900GS or Radeon 1900XT * 10 GB HD space [b]Recommended:[/b] * 2 GHz quad core CPU * GeForce 260 or Radeon 4860***Digital Extremes handled porting of the game, not actual development.***Korea has unified and conquered pretty much all of Earth, player wages a guerrilla war for "freedom".

| Spec Ops: The Line | 2K Games (Yager) | 2012 | Rara vez se ve un FPS de guerra que transmita la verdadera desolación de una zona marcial. Spec Ops: The Line lo logra de manera magistral gracias a la sensación de abandono y a lo humanos que expone a los enemigos, lejos del típico "yo bueno, tu malo" tan común en los shooter en general. Además, en terminos de juego no tiene nada que envidiar a sus compañeros de género, con un buen arsenal y la añadidura de la física de la arena y sus múltiples efectos (hasta corriendo se nota). incluye también elementos muy propios de los juegos de Tom Clancy en el aspecto de enviar órdenes, aunque de manera muy simplificada. El multijugador no es nada del otro mundo, el típico clase+perks+armas y los clásicos modos deathmatch/por equipos/etc... 8 de 10***Spec Ops: The Line is a new original title from 2K Games that features provocative and gripping Third-Person modern military Shooter gameplay designed to challenge players' morality by putting them in the middle of unspeakable situations where unimaginable choices affecting human life must be made.

It’s been 6 months since Dubai was wiped off the map by a cataclysmic sandstorm. Thousands of lives were lost, including those of American soldiers sent to evacuate the city.

Their mission is simple: Locate survivors and radio for Evac. What they find is a city in the grip of war. To save Dubai, they’ll have to find the man at the heart of its madness—Col. John Konrad.

As missions are completed more advanced weapons and equipment are made available. In addition, the desert environment of Dubai is brought into the game in a unique way with stunning visuals, and dynamic sandstorms that actively effect level designs, and which can be used to help and hinder progress. The vertical interiors of Dubai high rise buildings also provide tactical advantages and risks that can used be by players. Multiplayer campaigns bring new modes and unusual situations and environments to expand the single player experience.

| The Bureau: XCOM Declassified | 2K Games (2K Marin) | 2013 | Aunque de primeras parece un shooter del montón, lo que le convierte en un buen juego es el control y manejo de tu escuadra, donde es importante saber cómo moverlos y de que habilidades disponen, convirtiéndolo en un juego de acción a tiempo real pero con momentos de planificación, a medio camino entre los X-COM clásicos y un Rainbow Six. 7 de 10***The year is 1962 and the Cold War has the nation gripped by fear. A top-secret government unit called The Bureau begins investigating a series of mysterious attacks by an enemy more powerful than communism. As agent Carter, call the shots, pull the trigger and lead your squad in a gripping third-person tactical shooter set within a covert war to protect humanity from an otherworldly enemy.***The plot has a tragic logical fallacy about the Bureau performing a complete erasing of the truth of what happened, except the invasion was global and they had no control over what happened in other countries and the amount of secrecy they held over the event (likely poor/none in several), yet it's said no evidence of the invasion was left to the public. | Windows | labelimagesubject |
