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.

GoldenEye 007	Nintendo (Rare)	1997	You are Bond, James Bond. You are assigned to covet operations connected with the GoldenEye Weapons satellite. M will brief you on your mission objectives from London. Q Branch will support you with a supply of gadgets and weapons. Will you succeed?*The game creators discovered that grayscale textures were exponentially faster to render than RGB (color) textures. This also had the benefit of using less ROM memory. The vast majority of textures in GoldenEye are grayscale (in the hardware). Color is applied to these grayscale textures by applying colors to the vertexes bounding the textures when they are rendered.* [32]* [32]US version [29] [27]Based on Pierce Brosnan's first outing as James Bond, this game is superb. The telescopic aiming is excellent - this was the first game to feature it.**Amazing, I'll never forget this game. After Doom arrived there was nothing that really took the next step. There was Quake, but that never really took far from doom, but when goldeneye hit the shops it took a good while before anyone bettered it. Best multiplayer mode ever until all this new fangled network gaming came into play with Halo etc etc [and3ew d]	N64

Left 4 Dead 2	Valve;EA Partners (Valve)	2009	Set in the zombie apocalypse, Left 4 Dead 2 (L4D2) is the highly anticipated sequel to the award-winning Left 4 Dead, the #1 co-op game of 2008. This co-operative action horror FPS takes you and your friends through the cities, swamps and cemeteries of the Deep South, from Savannah to New Orleans across five expansive campaigns. You'll play as one of four new survivors armed with a wide and devastating array of classic and upgraded weapons. In addition to firearms, you'll also get a chance to take out some aggression on infected with a variety of carnage-creating melee weapons, from chainsaws to axes and even the deadly frying pan. You'll be putting these weapons to the test against (or playing as in Versus) three horrific and formidable new Special Infected. You'll also encounter five new uncommon common infected, including the terrifying Mudmen. Helping to take L4D's frantic, action-packed gameplay to the next level is AI Director 2.0. This improved Director has the ability to procedurally change the weather you'll fight through and the pathways you'll take, in addition to tailoring the enemy population, effects, and sounds to match your performance. L4D2 promises a satisfying and uniquely challenging experience every time the game is played, custom-fitted to your style of play.*Más zombies y más pantallas.
