Arcan	Rawen Group Hungary (Elder_Games)	2009	Arcan is a unique sci-fi turn-based strategy game, with significant RPG elements. All characters on a map have the ability to evolve, and even combine their abilities with other units. So, despite the relatively small amount of unit types,it is impossible to fight the same battle twice. [b]The World[/b] It is the distant future. Humanity have never dreamt of surviving for so long. The few hundred human beings have managed to construct Arcan Central, and hide from the outer world. From the many horrors they had to suffer. Somehow, Earth had become a barren wasteland, but no one seems to remember why did that happen. Have wars scorched our planet? Was it some kind of accident that destroyed almost any lifeform on our homeworld? The council means everything. They are the protection, the safety... they live to serve humanity. To prevent any of the council members from gaining too much power, a Controller is elected from the inhabitants. This Controller must command the Droid army, created by the Council. [b]The Story[/b] On a daily patrol of a Droid squad, strange snake-like creatures are found: the Serpents. No one knows why did they come, and how did they appear from nothing. Of course, rumours had that these are the long awaited aliens, invading Earth. However, this could not be further from the truth... The Controller takes his place in front of the enormous screen, and commands the Droid armies to kill the Serpents - as the Council ordered. Meanwhile, the Controller suffers strange nightmares: the Serpents are talking to him. Speaking about long forgotten secrets, stories never told, and something hidden and wonderful, that was in front of our own eyes since the first human being walked Earth. Since the beauty of Creation. Throughout the game, there are many dreams, revealing more and more of the storyline, raising many mind-provoking questions during the journey, and culminating in an unexpected ending.	Windows

BioShock Infinite	2K Games (Virtual Programming)	2013	Outraged at the wrong people, with his life at stake, a veteran of the U.S. Cavalry and now hired, Booker DeWitt has only one opportunity to make a clean sweep. He must save Elizabeth, a mysterious girl imprisoned since childhood and locked up in the flying city of Columbia. Forced to trust each other, Booker and Elizabeth form a powerful bond during their daring escape. Together, they learn to harness an expanding arsenal of weapons and skills as they fight on zeppelins in the clouds, along high-speed airlines and on the streets of Columbia, all while surviving the threats of the City of Air and discovering its dark secret.* [100]* [12]***A game that raises the formula of the previous Bioshock both in location and in game mechanics, with a direct action, without complexes and with a very hard critic to the American patriotism that is the environment and events of the game in general. Also it is very good in both aesthetics and alternative music that draws its last argument. 9 of 10	Windows

Captain Tsubasa	Tecmo	1988	"Captain Tsubasa" is a highly innovative game based on a successful sports manga/anime about a Japanese junior soccer player and his teammates. The game is played indirectly by menus similar to RPG combat systems. Every action (pass, shot, dribble etc.) is accompanied by good looking graphical scenes. The game is also one of the few early 8-bit titles that make really good use of its manga/anime license. The game excellently captures the spirit of the series. It includes all the well-known "special shots" and characters. Now with all these very good points I am still not convinced by the gameplay itself. As innovative as it is, I would still prefer a well-playable "action" soccer game over this one.***Tecmo Cup Soccer is a totally unique concept in a sports strategy and cinema action game. As you gain knowledge and experience of soccer, you can advance to the world cup soccer matches. Follow the dynamic sports career of Robin Field, the son of a world famous soccer star, from his early years in the junior leagues on his quest for fame and glory in the world cup soccer matches.	NES

After returning to his home village and finding the settlement plundered and destroyed, Bred swears to bring justice to the memory of his slain village. Uniting desolated outcasts, he forges a fighting unit to strike out against bandit gangs, drawing allies under his banner. Desert Law is a new spin on the traditional real-time strategy that immerses players into a post-apocalyptic world where gasoline is the new world currency. Players can have anything if they have gas to pay for it, or gamers can loose everything with one tactical mistake. Mankind is rebuilding civilization off the scattered remains of pre-doomsday technology with unfamiliar equipment and knowledge which it inherited from ancestors. Disorderly gangs roam the wastelands, and if gamers want to survive, they will have to fight to stay alive. Mad technicians of the world-gone-insane will give the players a chance to use more than 50 types of vehicles with different kinds of military equipment, from the ordinary car to radically altered homemade war machines. With more than 30 missions in an intriguing scenario gamers will have to fight all manner of desert scum before satisfying Bred's thirst for vengeance.

XCOM: Enemy Unknown	2K Games (Firaxis Games)	2012	Recordando a los juegos tipo Tactics de los 90 desde el primer minuto, pero con un lavado de cara. Especialmente encomiable el elemento de las decisiones incómodas (algo que desgraciadamente cada vez se ve menos) y la complejidad de los combates. Pena no tener tiempo para disfrutarlo más, tiene una pinta bárbara. Se acerca a la perfección del combate por turnos. 9 de 10*Overall a nice turn-based tactical game, but might not be really up to one's expectations if you go looking for another of the old XCOM games. In short, this new XCOM game is extremely simplified and cut down version of the old X-COM with great number of features missing with only a few new ones to its name. For those familiar with old XCOM, here's a list of differences. Notably there's missing multiple bases for the player to operate, aliens do not set up bases (there's only one alien base in the game), alien craft activity is barely existing (~13 alien craft encountered before the game was over), terror missions and similar do not involve actual enemy craft going to the sites, your soldiers can't pick up enemy gear during missions, grenades and rockets are special one-use gear instead of actual inventory items, inventory overall is severely simplified to a point where its limitations don't make sense, the game does not simulate projectile trajectories except for missed shots destroying scenery (missed shots can no longer hit secondary targets) and auto/burst fire is treated as single shot in terms of hitting or not, as such cover is simply statistical wonder instead of literal cover (shots "penetrate" the cover - with no damage to the cover - when they hit the soldier hiding behind it rather than hitting exposed bits), alien craft interception relies on one-use power ups you need to craft (though they go largely unused), aliens do not attack XCOM base(s), you can only have one skyranger hence you're specifically forbidden to complete missions that appear "simultaneously" with others (you have to choose one, the others automatically fail, their timing and duration essentially synced), interceptor and skyranger management is simplified, chrysalids and robotic aliens can not be captured and studied, aliens do not have jobs (there's only one live specimen of each species to interrogate and beyond that, nothing), battle scanner is missing, arbitrary range limitations to weapons (not allowed to shoot if target is beyond certain range), incendiary weapons are missing, stun grenades are missing, quite a few alien species are missing, levels tend to be far smaller and streamlined (with very few exceptions), action points have been replaced with simplified version that has glaring limitations, soldiers have 360 degree vision, reloading and shooting in same turn is impossible, ammunition is handwaved away completely, aliens do not have morale, taking aliens alive has little far less use, and probably quite a few other things. New features, for those that care: upgrade system accessible via the foundry, psychic damage ability, classes, class perks, two-point system, and probably some others. Personally I think this new XCOM is good game, but just does not hold up to what the old X-COM games were about. If you want the old experience, you're better off with the old games, UFO: Extraterrestrials, UFO: Aftermath/-shock/-light, or the many fan-made remakes. Note that I played the game through on "classic" difficulty (the one just below brutal), which may have had something to do with some of my poor opinions.EAN-13: [code]5 026555 056151[/code] (European/Worldwide)**[media=youtube]u9i6X5fgaCE[/media]	Windows
