Call of Juarez: Gunslinger Ubisoft (Techland)2013Volviendo 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".

Capsized Alientrap Games2011Un juego tipo Metroidvania, aunque orientado más en la acción y menos en la exploración.

Es un juego decente, y bastante bueno en los modos arcade (especialmente el versus contra otro jugador), entretenido y de escenarios interesantes.

6 de 10***[media=youtube]SrYUEa00dGM[/media]***Capsized is a fast paced 2D platformer focused on intense action and exploration. As a intrepid space traveler, your ship has crash landed on a mysterious alien planet. You must navigate through the perilous environment and fight off blood-thirsty creatures to save your crewmates and escape with your lives!

Artist Jesse McGibney and programmer Lee Vermeulen create an immersive alien world teeming with bizarre life-forms and strange landscapes presented in a unique hand-drawn art style. Combining control elements of first person shooters and innovative physics based combat, Capsized emphasizes action without giving up the smart problem solving of classic platform games.

Use your jetpack to fly through the alien jungle, and tools such as the Gravity Hook to manipulate your environment to skilfully dodge and defeat attacking enemies. You will be challenged - with platforming, puzzle solving, and deadly skirmishing, often all at the same time!

Key Features:
* Highly detailed alien environments and creatures, lovingly rendered with high resolution hand-drawn artwork.
* 12 mission Campaign featuring: massive non-linear environments, diverse objectives and enemies, and exciting comic-style cutscenes.
* 4 extra Arcade Modes to unlock, including: local Deathmatch and Coop, Survival mode, Time Trials, and Armless fighting.

Dwarfs!? Tripwire Interactive (Power of 2)2011Juego arcade (el objetivo es hacer el máximo número de puntos en un tiempo dado) de enanos que cavan como locos y un líder (tú) que debe de intentar de llevarlos por el buen camino.

Pros:
-El que te sientes manejando a Lemmings con pico y barba.
-La mecánica de las flechas guía y las cuevas por descubrir.
-Los modos extra y desafíos le dan bastante variedad (a pesar de lo poco serio que es uno de ellos)
-Los cambios de aspecto al subir de nivel a los enanos.

Cons:
-Que si guardas pierdas la posibilidad de puntuar en las tablas globales: entiendo la preocupación por meter una partida trucada, pero hay muchos juegos protegidos mediante la nube de esos cambios.
-Es inmensamente repetitivo: a pesar de los diversos modos el juego principal (modo arcade) no tiene tanta variedad como debería (por ejemplo con parámetros de creación de mundo ganaría mucho) También le sentaría bien quizás una verdadera campaña (con historia y objetivos, más allá de los desafíos)

7 de 10, ahora sé que los enanos se generan de jarra en jarra.***Dwarfs!? offers an addictive, fast paced arcade-like experience, with plenty of difficulty levels and game modes to play, in the tradition of great games such as "Lemmings" and "Dwarf Fortress."

As the new overseer for your underground Dwarf base, your job is to manage the small colony and make it as rich as possible, before they meet their inevitable doom! To survive as long as possible, you’ll have to steer and guide your greedy little fellows to the richest points in the caves, while avoiding all the dangers – so they don’t end up destroying your Town Hall and its essential supply of beer. They explore for you, they mine for you and they fight for you - but if you don't keep an eye on them, they'll do what they do best: die for you and take everyone else with them. But, if all else fails when the Spider Queen comes for you – use the Outpost’s Dwarf Cannon and shoot Dwarfs at her!

There are only 3 certainties in this world: death, taxes and that Dwarfs always dig too deep!

Key features
* Fun for all ages and skill levels of gamers, with randomly-generated caves so the game is different every time.
* Madly Addictive Arcade Mode: 4 difficulty levels ranging from casual to crazy hard-core, time limits from 5 minutes to endless, randomly-generated caves and all the gold and monsters you can handle!
* Base Defense Mode: Tower Defense gameplay, except you don’t have a tower. And your Dwarfs dig the routes. Then you defend against waves of monsters!
* Rush Mode: Can you handle Dwarfs spawning at insane rates and digging everywhere?
* Dark Mode: This time, the only light is in the tunnels your Dwarfs dig. Spooky!
* Campaign Challenges: Tutorials where you can learn all about being a Dwarf Overseer in a few minutes and Challenges where you can put those Overseer abilities to the ultimate test.
* Leaderboards: Compare the size of your beard (and your scores) with your friends and the rest of the world.

Red Faction: Armageddon  THQ;Syfy Games (Volition)2011Un 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.

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.
