King's Bounty: The Legend  1C Company;Atari;Paradox Interactive (Katauri Interactive)2008King's Bounty: The Legend is an adventure game with tactical turn-based battles and role-playing elements. In a fairy tale fantasy world of fearless knights, evil mages, wise kings and beautiful princesses the player controls a hero. Leading their character through the game world, exploring it, commanding armies in battle and accomplishing various quests can mean great reward or huge defeats.

Gameplay is divided into two major sections: adventure mode and battle mode. While playing in adventure mode the gamer controls their character in real-time. With several classes available at the start of a new game, the player moves through the adventure map seeking various treasures, fighting monsters and accomplishing quests tasked to him by the local stewards. Once in battle mode the gamer assumes the role of a war chief, leading his troops in tactical turn-based combat. Battles take place on land or sea, in dungeons or castles or even in some items! The hero himself doesn't participate in the combat, but can assist his troops by casting spells or summoning different creatures.***Una gran mezcla de estrategia y combate por turnos, al estilo de Might and Magic.
Las partidas pueden alargarse muuuucho...

Mass Effect Microsoft Game Studios (BioWare)2007 X360labelimageminimize
Mass Effect  Microsoft Game Studios (BioWare;Demiurge Studios)2008Mass Effect is a military science fiction media franchise created by Casey Hudson, Drew Karpyshyn and Preston Watamaniuk. The franchise depicts a distant future where humanity and several alien civilizations have colonized the known universe using technology left behind by advanced precursor civilizations.***

[12]***Latest version: 1.02 (as of ?)
Version history:
* 1.01 (?)***Not as great as I expected, and the driving around in Mako is horrible most of the time as well as the final bit of the ending just makes me feel sickly. My recommendation is, if you want to enjoy this game, stick to the main story and avoid any side exploration/quests completely, and try to bear the last bit of the ending (the parts where humans talk). Replayability comes mostly from dialogs as otherwise the game gets quite dull, and unfortunately you need those dialogs to progress your renegade/paragon ranks to open the more interesting dialog choices since these are separate from your regular leveling and skills.***[b]Free expansions:[/b]

[b]Non-free expansions:[/b]
* Pinnacle Station (2009-10)***Comes on 2 DVDs but I have no idea what the second DVD is supposed to be for (backup?).***[b]technomagic[/b] — the "biotics" used in the game do not really fit into any of the groups we have neatly, technomagic and psionics being the closest, but since the ME universe also has psychics, technomagic is all that there's left.
[b]multiple endings[/b] — more like ending with variations; the core of it stays the same. [spoiler=Ending spoiler;Close spoiler]However, a notable difference is that if the alien council survived or not, depending on if you chose to save them. If you didn't, humanity will take charge, otherwise humanity is invited to take place as the fourth council race. Other, "more important", details stay the same regardless.[/spoiler]
[b]special agent protagonist[/b] — player is appointed a job similar to this somewhat early in the game, so this isn't true from the start.
[b]nationalism[/b] — the protagonist and his higher ups are constantly trying to drive the cause of the Human Alliance, it's importance and how you're part of it is constantly hammered at you and occasionally you get to do the same for others.
[b]unlikely sentients[/b] — Rachni, Geth to some degree (in mythos puts them on par with rogue A.I.), the plant creature, and some others
[b]dialog-keywords[/b] / [b]dialog-stance[/b] — some are full sentences but not actually what is said, generally these are only choices on what to discuss and [i]how[/i] to respond (aggressively or calm negotiator style)***[b]Minimum:[/b]

Pikmin Nintendo2001Pikmin may be small and plantlike, but they can be a space traveler's best friend. Stranded on an unknown planet, Captain Olimar must enlist the help of these native Pikmin to rebuild his spaceship before the life-support system runs out. In the meantime, you'll have to fend off attackers and solve various puzzles. To produce additional multicolored Pikmin you must defeat enemies and carry them back to the Pikmin nests called onions. But beware--watching giant predators gobble your Pikmin might make you angrier than you'd expect.***

Pikmin 2 Nintendo2004Captain Olimar returns to marshal new Pikmin in a wild, open-ended adventure-and he brought help this time! Captaim Olimar has returned to the planet where the Pikmin live, and he's all business this time. The company he works for is going bankrupt, so to save it, Olimar must salvage the treasure buried all over the planet. His company's debt is a whopping 10,000 pokos- luckily, Olimar brought an assistant, so if the two of them can delegate their work well, they should be able to erase that debt in no time! Of course, they'll need the help of the Pikmin to do that, these two can't do anything by themselves. Alternate controlling the main characters-Olimar and his assistant- as you command your Pikmin to defeat enemies, propate more Pikmin, collect precious doodads, and solve puzzles. With no time limit, new colors of Pikmin, and two-player cooperative play, Pikmin 2 improves on the original in every way.
[b]Features:[/b]
* Command your Pikmin to defeat enemies, propagate more Pikmin, collect precious doodads, and solve puzzles
* Take advantage of new colors of Pikmin and use new items strategically
* For 1 or 2 players
* Captain Olimar has returned to the planet of the Pikmin in this sequel to the popular action/strategy game
* Delegate work to the Pikmin using Captain Olimar and his new assistant

Star Control II  Accolade (Toys For Bob)1992The story mode is purely singleplayer, but the melee is playable by 1-2 human players.***I split SC2 and Ur-Quan Masters... no real reason other than [game=#162327]Ur-Quan Masters[/game] isn't the name of the original and the open source game doesn't have Star Control in its name, also UQM is ported to wider variety of systems, wasn't developed (the code, I mean, not the game content) and published by the same people, etc. etc.***Directly from the manual:

The gameplay takes place 20 years after the great war of Star Control I. This time, your mission is to explore and liberate the various alien races and planets in the different star systems and take part in action filled space battles.

Super Melee:
A bonus game in which you take part in spaceship to spaceship combat with the choice of 28 different starships. Challenge a friend or the computer.***One of my favorite games. Good news everyone! You can play StarCon2 with slightly updated graphics (from the 3DO port) and remixed music on Windows (also, MacOS X and Linux)! Toys For Bob released the source code for StarCon2 and a dedicated team is working hard porting it to modern PCs. The project is opensource, that means you can download it for FREE! Did you hear that? FREE!

Woodle Tree Adventures MalboM2013 Linuxlabelminimizeminimize
Woodle Tree Adventures MalboM2013Un plataformas infantil sencillo y colorido.
Tiene una cierta dosis de exploración, y a pesar de una cámara un tanto díscola y de que los puntos de control aparte de ser invisibles funcionan según les apetece, es un juego bastante sólido.
Si quieres un plataformas bueno, siempre puedes recurrir a un Mario, o al Super Meat Boy, o incluso al gratuito N the Ninja, pero para niños este es un juego muy simpático, hasta los enemigos son entrañables.
