Arx – End Of Sun	Neurological	TBA		Linux
Arx Fatalis	JoWood Productions (Arkane Studios)	2002	Cast away from the surface of the Earth by the disappearance of the sun, Mankind lived hidden underground in the Fortress of Arx. Humans only have magic left to survive against Ratmen, Dragons and starvation... But a much greater danger is hovering above the world of Arx Fatalis. Lurking in the eternal darkness of the mines, it feeds off the innocent souls of the city. It is not a monster. It is not human. It is pure evil. The adventure has just started, and soon, the fate of Arx, will be in your hands. Arx Fatalis is a medieval heroic fantasy first person role playing game which places the accent on immersion, storyline and innovative magic system. Arx Fatalis is intended for RPG and adventure players. Dive into the universe of Arx Arx Fatalis is an RPG that thrusts the player into an extremely complex fantastic world. Arx Fatalis combines a rich storyline with impressive medieval settings. The easy to use interface results in maximum interaction. The player is in an intense immersion state where he can feel how each one of his actions affects the surrounding world. The goal of the game is to reduce to nothing the cult of Akbaa, God of destruction and Chaos, and thus, prevent him from returning to the physical world. If the player fails, the demon will crush Arx under its rule of blood and terror. The player, assuming the role of potential hero, fights in a large underground fortress, with wood clubs, swords, lances. and many magic artifacts, against the threat of multiple underground creatures (Goblins, Trolls, Ratmen and other vicious creatures.) But rough power is not always the best road to victory. The hero may also use the new "screen magic" to advance. By using the mouse, magic runes have to be drawn and combined on screen in order to create powerful spells that will protect the player or give him the strength to defeat his enemies and to complete his quest. In addition to the fight against demons and monsters, there is also a practically infinite number of interactions with the creatures and objects in the fortress, which enable the player to regain his memory, solve enigmas, and fulfill quests. By accumulating experience points, the player is able to lead his hero and train him any way he wants. Dare to enter the world of Arx Fatalis. Explore the underground cities, secret temples, ancient mine tunnels, discover forgotten civilizations and dominate the magic of Arx Fatalis...*The game may suffer from severe [i]flickering[/i] and depth buffer issues under some circumstances. The actual cause is unknown as it fixed itself and I failed to reproduce it. Bumb mapping used by the game is one of the earliest methods and causes some graphical glitching on at least NV's GPUs (buttons and doorways otherwise revealed by sufficiently high intuition are colored almost pitch black). Therefore it is recommended you disable it. Forcing anti-aliasing causes some text to disappear, the game itself has no anti-aliasing options so this is only reminder not to do it in externally.[b]Minimum:[/b] Windows 98, ME, 2000 or XP * 500 MHz Pentium II CPU * 64 MB RAM * 16 MB VRAM * 750 MB HD space * 4X CD-ROM drive [b]Recommended:[/b] * 900 MHz Pentium III CPU * 256 MB RAM * 32 MB VRAM**Latest version: 1.21 (2011-01-14) Version history: 1.18 (2007-10?)

Assassin's Creed	Ubisoft Entertainment (Ubisoft Montreal)	2008	El comienzo estelar de la saga, a pesar de ser mucho más lineal y corto que sus predecesores (y unas misiones secundarias enormemente repetitivas), se hecha de menos no ser una arsenal andante que puede con toda la guardia de la ciudad: mucho más sigilo y huida y menos acción. Especialmente reseñable era la posibilidad de finalizar un asesinato siguiendo el diario de Altair, convirtiendo el encargo en un auténtico reto, además de la claustrofóbica situación de Desmond y la intriga que rodea todo el juego. Como reprochable, la enorme letalidad del agua, aunque también es cierto que es de gran ayuda contra los templarios. 8 de 10*2008-04-09 as boxed 2008-04-09 on Steam (eng,fre,ita,ger,spa)[b]save points[/b] - there's only one save per profile, so make sure you back it up occasionally. Nothing worse than playing almost through the game and the save getting corrupted for whatever reason (such as BSOD). The saves are stored in `[code]%APPDATA%/Ubisoft/Assassin's Creed/Saved Games/[/code]´.Latest version: 1.02 (as of 2008-05-14)The story starts with Desmond Miles being kidnapped in 2012 by Abstergo Industries and put into the Animus machine, a device capable of drawing out genetic memories and allowing the user to re-live their ancestors' lives. For Desmond, this is the life of Altaïr Ibn La-Ahad (الطائر), an assassin who lived during the Third Crusade in 1191. Although the story skips the kidnapping and starts with Desmond jagged into the Animus and experiencing some synchronization issues with it. The game is difficult to categorize and abundantly lampshaded by the fact that most of the game takes place inside the Animus which has been created to produce a video game like experience, so effectively you're playing a video game inside a video game. And the experience produced by the Animus is an abstraction of sorts with various alterations that make it easier for the user to operate it, such as translating all languages to plain English and so forth. So any inconsistencies with reality are due to that, and since memories aren't exactly logical 1 to 1 copies of reality, much illogical instances can occur, some of which can be interpreted to mean some [url=http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/JustBugsMe/Ptitlel59ywfenym8d?from=JustBugsMe.AssassinsCreed]very strange things[/url]. Things you may need to replay the whole game for:[spoiler]In memory block 4, you have a chance to pickpocket Vidic to get his security pen. This opportunity does not represent itself and replaying the memory block later does not roll back time in the "real world". After the credits you gain access to the conference room where you need Vidic's pen to access a computer, but there's nothing else after that besides your ability to replay the memory blocks and aim for 100% completion (collecting all the flags, killing the templars, scouting, and doing all the side tasks).[/spoiler]*[b]Minimum:[/b] Windows XP or Vista * 2.6 GHz dual-core Pentium D or Athlon 64 X2 3800+ CPU * 1 GB RAM (2 GB for Vista) * 256 MB VRAM * Radeon X1600 or GeForce 6800 GPU * 8 GB HD space [b]Recommended:[/b] * Core 2 Duo 2.2 GHz or Athlon 64 X2 4400+ CPU * 5.1 capable soundcard***The PC version has 4 new missions compared to the original console version.

The old empires have fallen, ground into the dust and crushed under the jackboot of terran imperialism. What little remains of the Hadean Crown is now restricted to a few small planets close to their homeworld and their once all-powerful Cerberi allies are now little more than vermin, disorganised, scattered and hunted mercilessly by EDF extermination squads. At the forefront of this ongoing war are the soldiers of the notorious Blackdog squadron their name forever blackened by their involvement with the traitorous general Braddock and project pedigree. Being a member of the Blackdogs was once considered an honour - now it's a death sentence. The Scions remain an elusive people prefering little or no contact with other races, rarely seen beyond the confines of their few colony worlds a non-aggression pact with Earth assures their safety for now. Earth itself has finally come of age, for the first time fully aware that we are not alone in a hostile universe a vast empire has been forged. All opposition has been subdued quite often in brutal fashion, but something is waiting out there. Something vast and timeless and deadly beyond imagination, a new battlezone awaits ...

Battlezone: Rise of the Black Dogs	Crave Entertainment (Climax Entertainment)	2000	Battlezone 64 introduces a bevy of new twists on the old theme. Players choose between three modes: arcade, pilot, and commander. The arcade variation most closely resembles the original's gameplay, namely shoot anything and everything that may resemble an enemy until it blows up. The second mode sends players on tasks provided by a mission commander, adding a bit of adventure and responsibility to the mix. The third variation most closely resembles the PC revision's combination of action and strategic gameplay, enabling players to collect vital resources necessary for building new structures and vehicles, and to populate a base with defensive measures and command units. Added bonus: the freedom to jump out of your vehicle, stealthily run to another (30 vehicles in all with over 15 weapons), climb aboard, and battle on. Multiplayer mode allows up to four players to battle, or two players to compete in a more strategic game style.	N64

British are slow-moving and highly defensive army and apparently has movable base unlike all the other armies, as well as tank airdrop and many other interesting and unique abilities. Panzer Elite on the other hand is a low number force of, you know, elite forces who're more suited for rushing the enemy in Blitzkrieg tactics and specializes on vehicular combat more than any other army. Apparently You won't need to have Opposing Fronts to play against their armies after a new patch is rolled out for the original game, although you won't be able to play _as_ either of the new armies if you don't get the expansion, nor likely are you able to play the two old armies if you don't have the original, but you can still play against those who either have only the expansion or only the original even if you only have the other.

Playing as one of these people's brains, you can quickly switch control between many different expendable bodies in order to complete otherwise dangerous tasks - all from the physical safety of your command bunker. Use these technological powers of telepathy to collect gold out of the fully destructible terrain, then purchase even more bodies and materiel with those newly acquired funds! You can even program the crude A.I.s of your puppet army to complete simple tasks (patrolling, digging, etc.) while your attention and direct control is somewhere else. Use your accumulated forces to protect your brain, explore the world, and defeat your competition! Story Summary ---------------------------------------- Cortex Command is set a few hundred years into the future, where the now cybernetic human race is able to travel between stars and has already met several alien civilizations. Interstellar trade and prosperity reigns, but there is always an ever-expanding frontier to explore and exploit for precious resources. In this gold rush of galactic proportions, fantastic adventure and brutal competition awaits. You play as the boss of a small gold mining company that has just arrived at a newly discovered Earth-like planet. The large space ship that brought you here along with many other adventurers is called a TradeStar. It acts as a massive orbital safe haven and marketplace for the fortune seekers who venture down onto the planet's surface. Your purchases of bodies, guns, and equipment are sent from the TradeStar orbiting above and delivered to you by your choice of landing craft. However, it soon becomes clear that the planet isn't as pristine as initially thought, and you will have to quickly adapt from your humble beginnings in order to survive and ultimately discover the dangerous secrets of this alien world... Key Features ---------------------------------------- Fully destructible environments - The gold you need to excavate is sprinkled throughout the terrain of each scene. Use special digging tools to blast your way into the dirt and debris. All the pieces of bodies and ships from your struggles will fall to the ground and permanently add to the battlefield. Get more powerful (and expensive) diggers and you can even tunnel into your enemies' bunkers from below! In-game buying menu - At any time and place during the game, bring up a powerful menu to order new bodies and equipment, all delivered at the location and by the transport ship of your choosing. Rockets are cheaper but unreliable and harder to land. Drop ships are far more expensive but can quickly deploy entire groups of puppets onto difficult terrain. Ships and equipment returned to the TradeStar are refunded to your account. Build your own bunker - At the start of most missions, you are able to take your time and build your own command bunker from scratch. Easily design twisting tunnels and place doors, traps, and turrets to thwart your enemies' intrusions! Pre-deploy and equip bodies in and around your installation to prepare yourself for your objectives. Don't spend too much though, or you won't have enough funds left when the mission starts! Four-player cooperative and/or versus multiplayer - Gather your friends and plug in those game controllers! Play skirmish or campaign missions with or against up to three of your buddies. 2 vs 2, 1 vs. 3, 4 vs. the CPU - it's up to you! (rhyme intended). Flexible control settings allow you to use the keyboard, keyboard + mouse, or any generic game controller you can find and plug in. Built-in editors and modding - Several in-game editors allow you to easily create your own stuff. The game's engine is built to make it very simple to modify and add your own content. Design your own missions, guys, ships, weapons, tools, bombs, and shields - and easily share them with your friends. Join and download some fantastic mods from the community at the Data Realms Fan Forums.	Linux
Creeper World	Knuckle Cracker	2009	Better described as tower offence than tower defence. A bit like a cross between Perimeter (2) and Harvest: Massive Encounter. Essentially you're fighting against an infinite flood of goo with guns (lasers, mortars and such) rather than building barriers with the sole aim of connecting "totems" (usually submerged in the "creep" by the time you reach them) to open a warp portal to the next world. Occasionally there's side objectives.***[media=youtube]IP7atGyLCLw[/media]	Windows

Crysis Warhead	EA Partners (Crytek Studios - Budapest)	2008	Aunque su forma de juego de soldado futurista con poderes es similar al Crysis original, la falta total de suspense en pos de una acción continua desvirtúa un poco el juego, compensando ligeramente este problema con la inclusión del Crysis Wars (multijugador) 7 de 10*Tagline/Slogan: Adapt, Engage, Dominate!Officially the game is "Crysis Warhead" although all graphical representations of the title imply "Crysis: Warhead" to be correct.

Dawn of War II	THQ (Relic Entertainment)	2009	It’s the 41st Millennium in the Sub-Sector Aurelia – a cluster of worlds on the edge of the galaxy – where a battle of epic proportions is about to commence. Ancient races will clash across the planets that dot this sector of space, battling for the greatest of stakes – not only for control of Sub-Sector Aurelia – but the fate of each race. With a focus on fast-action RTS gameplay, Dawn of War II brings to life the science fiction universe of Warhammer 40,000 like never before. Experience the intimate brutality of battle as you play through your chosen race’s epic campaign. Clash with the enemies on battlefield ablaze with visceral melee and ranged combat. Lead and develop your squads from raw recruits into the most battle hardened veterans in the galaxy. Also included is The Last Stand, a co-operative game mode featuring user controlled heroes fighting waves of enemies.*Deviating a lot from the first Dawn of War, this RTS plays more like a tactical-action (Commandos) than a strategy game (even with is touches of Command and Conquer) Pros: -Great controls, even to seem easy to use many units in the field. -Equipment and leveling up: brings some roleplay elements in the development of your team. -Tyranids. -3 game modes: campaign (Space Marines cleansing places), coop defense (pick your hero and prepare to withstands waves of enemies) and multiplayer (a mix between a hero RTS and a MOBA) Cons: -Too many times soldiers adopt stupid covers (like being in the two sides of a trench) 6 of 10DoW2 is perhaps best defined as tactical RPG than strategy RPG, with RPG elements mostly covering only how good your characters are doing their stuff and the otherwise equipment based system. There's no role-playing to speak of, though.Tagline: "Your slavery to the False Emperor ends today!"Latest version: 2.2.0 (as of 2010-04-??) Version history: 1.3.2 (2009-05-14)*Although the devs/publishers touted a lot about new approach to RTS with the title, the only thing I noticed to be truly new (for the type of RTS DoW2 is) was that your troops couldn't be killed for real. Few units (4 squads total in this case) to somewhat non-linear tactical missions have been done before, although none before in my experience are so lenient on the matter. Your squads can't be killed since only the squad leader is actually important and he can only be knocked unconscious. If all squads become unconscious, emergency evac is pulled and the squads and their leaders are back to full strength as if nothing happened. You lose the turn in the overworld meta-game with a lost battle, but that's hardly anything new. The squad leaders gain experience and level up occasioally, which can be spent on very few areas of interest, and they can be given new equipment which most of the time just makes them more powerful, resilient and generally more efficient. Each map has several teleport beacons scattered around where squads can be re-inforced, 2 secondary objectives which can be completed, and the primary objective. These are invariably(?) placed at the 4 corners of the tactical map. You can perform multiple attacks on single turn if you perform sufficiently well in a battle, but this is usually unlikely on harder difficulty settings. Each map also holds a boss at the primary objective location who usually has 200 times (and more) as much health as the more regular units from the tougher end. On harder difficulty settings these become rather dreary as you spend most of the time resuscitating unconscious squad leaders and doing round-trips to teleport beacons for re-inforcements than actually fighting the bosses. In conclusion, the base tactical gameplay is interesting like in any other tactical game, but all value is lost from the fact that you can practically never lose and success in missions is purely based on how well you manage to keep at least one squad conscious long enough to get the others back up, beyond that, all your great tactical plans are pointless except to reduce the number of times you need to get the squads back up.2009-01-19 gone gold 2009-01-21 closed beta with Soulstorm owners started 2009-01-28 public beta 2009-04-15 single-player demo released The betas are used to produce a day 1 patch if necessary for the actual release slated for 2009-02-19.*[b]Minimum:[/b] Windows XP SP2 or Vista SP1 * Pentium IV 3.2 GHz CPU or any Dual Core CPU * 1 GB RAM (1.5 GB for Vista) * 128 MB VRAM * GeForce 6600 GT or Radeon X1600 GPU * 5.5 GB HD space * 1.5 GB swap file [b]Recommended:[/b] * Athlon 64 X2 4400+ or any Core 2 Duo CPU * 2 GB RAM * 256 MB VRAM * GeForce 7800 GT or Radeon X1900 GPU**[b]Factions:[/b] Space Marines * Orks * Eldar * Tyranids	Windows

Released in apparently up to 65 countries by now.*They called it The Corruption, those charged with the telling of the story. When the two moons aligned, the exiled king, Rictus, bid his magician open the gate and unleash the pestilence of the Pitborn and their dark ruler Abaddon upon Haran, The Immortal Land. In his hubris, Rictus thought he might control them, that he might herald his conquering of Haran on the crest of a black wave of the accursed. But there could be no alliance with Abaddon, the lord of the pit whose blessing is pain, whose enchantment is the wage of sorrow. He bound Rictus in the darkness of the abyss and every time a man fell to claw, tooth or blade, every time a woman or child burned to black flesh, choked to blue or starved to sallow skin, Rictus died their death and lived to die again. This for all eternity, for such was the will of Abaddon. The Pitborn flooded Haran, the wake of their butchery staining crimson the once proud soil of The Immortal Land. Mankind teetered on the brink of annihilation. In the depth of his sorrow, overwhelmed by hopelessness, their king, Tirus The Grim, succumbed to death by his own hand. Thence came Trieste, The White Lady – prophet, magician, warrior, godchild, queen of frozen Haihaff. She bound together those with strength left to resist. To her aid came the dark magic of The Summoners, the power of The Incar, the blades of The Azure Order, the lethal arrows of The Segita, the brute strength of The Bagi, and the blessed touch of The Segnale. They made war then, blanketing the land with the hewed limbs of Pitborn. Their valor knew no equal, but their numbers were too few. The minions of Abaddon poured forth from the gate where they had waited for countless unhallowed centuries and their bloodlust could not be slaked. Despite their courage, the forces of Haran would fall. It was then that Trieste left in secret. To the gate she went, and slew there those who guarded its gaping maw. And there did she die, sealing shut the gate with her own lifesblood. Abaddon was drawn screaming back into the abyss and the children of Trieste prevailed. Centuries have passed and the enchantment of The White Lady has worn thin as she prophesied. The gate has cracked open and the Pitborn once again plague Haran. There is no safe passage and of the once proud cities only Loa and Braiken remain. Yet, there is hope. The people of The Immortal Land resist. With bolt and blade, with conjured flame and summoned might they combat the minions of Abaddon. For it is said Trieste will return when once again the twin moons align. Until then, only the law of the sword remains: "No mercy for the weak, no pity for the dying, no tears for the slain!" [Acclaim]	Windows

Powerful Magic – Raining down awesome destruction on enemies is even more compelling as players apply "spell combos," a way of combining together different spells to create emergent unique effects. Players develop their characters and gain powerful special abilities (spells, talents and skills) and discover ever-increasing weapons of destruction. With its emotionally compelling story, players choose with whom they wish to forge alliances or crush under their mighty fist, redefining the world with the choices they make and how they wield their power. Players select and play a unique prelude that provides the lens through which the player sees the world and how the world sees the player. The player's choice of Origin determines who they are and where they begin the adventure, as they play through a customized story opening that profoundly impacts the course of every adventure.US 2009-11-03 on Steam, by Electronic Arts?
