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
XCOM 2	2K Games (Firaxis Games)	2016	AI cheating * Knowledge of all player troops once concealment is gone, which lets them target AoEs and such without ever having vision on them. * Concealment patrol routes sometimes follow player position. * Accuracy stat is not affected by as many things as it is for players.***The game starts roughly 20 years after the beginning of the first game from scenario where the war was lost before the players even began on the first game, effectively taking immediate loss right at game start as the canon ending for the previous game, thus making anything that happened in the first game not canon.

The Sims 3	Electronic Arts (EA Redwood Shores)	2009	Way worse than Sims 2, with only a city that is terrain-fixed, and with the control of only ONE family for the sake of neighborhood aging (good concept, but stupid for a shared computer or when you simply want to play many different families) 7 de 10*Although the base game concept is interesting as social simulation game, the game only includes one small town to play in and sell additional towns as microtransactions for about 25USD/20EUR (that's for [u]single town[/u]), there's also other limitations which aren't as egregious as this. But I don't think I need to really go into detail on the game beyond this. It's a money milker for EA, but considering how successful the game has been, I rather question the players who actually fall for this rather than EA for doing it. I bought the game when it was discounted at "low" 15EUR price itself (from original 50EUR) and I can say that the game is hardly worth even that much. Maybe if it was like 10EUR with towns being 2EUR or so, I might consider it reasonable. There's also DLC expansions that cost the same as the base game itself. Unfortunately popularity (or market hype?) of Sims series has made it pretty certain there won't be any serious competition, it also allows EA to continue producing inferior games for ridiculously high price. As a game, it's decent I think, but in terms of value vs price, you're paying 100-1000 times more than you should be. Hence, don't buy any Sims games outside of significant (>60%) discounts.The game seems to have a long standing non-critical bug where the game starts freezing every few minutes. According to some players this is likely related to pathing code where some NPC gets "stuck" and can't figure out how to get their stuff done as a result. There is no real fix for this besides starting a new game which obviously doesn't prevent an NPC from getting stuck again.*The freedom of The Sims 3 will inspire you with endless creative possibilities and amuse you with unexpected moments of surprise and mischief!

The Precursors	Russobit-M;Game Factory Interactive (Deep Shadows)	2009	There's an unofficial patch for the western release that replaces a lot of the sounds with the ones from Russian release (also thus "adding" voices [rather, restoring their Russian voice-overs] for all characters rather than only very few of them) as well as fixing certain issues. This patch is also available [url=http://www.beamdog.com/products/the-precursors-fan-improvement-pack]as free DLC[/url] on Beamdog in case you got the game from them.***Precursors, predecessors, the legend of the galaxy... Who among the existing races are carrying their genes? The worlds of the galaxy are beautiful, unique and dangerous. Some of them are inhabited, some are deserted, some lie in ruins, others are just smugglers trans-shipment stations. Some worlds are at the beginning of their evolution, other are falling into decay. Only when you'll pass through all of these worlds, when you'll feel the heat of blazing lava-seas and the chilling cold of dark abysses, when you'll see stark heavens and red skies, you will realize the real power of nature. Only when you'll meet corrupt judges, mendacious politicians, unselfish protectors and cruel tyrants, you'll understand the passions of society. Only when you'll reach unexplored sectors of the galaxy and come across wonderful natural phenomenons, when you'll fly through the tail of a comet or dive into a mysterious portal, then you'll perceive the infinite depth and diversity of the universe. Nobody knows what exactly this journey will comprise, but we can assure you that it will be unforgettable... "Precursors" is a new project of Deep Shadows. The game action takes place in space and on the surface of various planets. The genre of the game is freeplay RPG with FPS and space sim combat elements. "Precursors" and "White Gold: War In Paradise" are developed using the Vital Engine 3. It has shader 3.0 support and features various post rendering effects like HDR, motion blur and others. In comparison with the Vital Engine 2 the physics system has been improved and moreover, two of the main features of the engine are destructible objects, which will be found everywhere in the games, and support of one huge unified playing area. You will fight your enemies in space as well as on the surface of various planets. You will be able to work for different factions and carry out their quests to earn money, which is quite essential for your hero. The money will give you the opportunity to buy new weapons, make technical upgrades or repair your damaged spaceship. You can explore a planet's surface using a wide choice of different vehicles, but in space you will use only one ship which will be given to you at the beginning of the game. RPG stats will allows you to upgrade not only the personal characteristics of your hero but the technical abilities of your spaceship as well. [Deep Shadows]	Windows

Sphere Of Influence	author	1998	This concept fascinates me. There is a sever running the game. You view the result and command spacecraft in the game through a client presentation interface (Power Point type). The designer didn't invent an interface that exists in the game world by which to command, as most game of this type do. Rather he used an existing interface common to the OS/2 platform. Other games have the player controlling an unseen protagonist sitting in front of some far off highly advance imaginary computer. But this is as if you were actually commanding spacecraft with an OS/2 computer. You are using the computer you are using, not an imaginary one.***SOI is a game designed for the OS/2 presentation manager. It is a cross between a role playing game and a simulator. It runs under a client/server architecture whereby simulations are run by a server either independently or under the control of a game master. The simulations may be simple such as Star Trek's Kobayashi Maru scenario from Star Trek II, or as complex as an intergalactic scavenger hunt or multi-species interstellar war. Scenarios are designed with a separate scenario editor. The first release of SOI will be a single player version with the simulation controller (server) and client running on the same machine. The player character has the role of ship captain in the Terrani Naval Forces. The captain must carry out missions designated by the simulation controller. For more information see the Captain's Indoctrination (to follow soon). The SOI client is written in C++ and assembler and is fully object oriented. All game objects, characters, ships, planets, etc. derive from a base object and can be dragged and dropped in the various windows. This, for example, allows the player to drag an object to the Interstellar Navigation window and see its last reported location.	OS/2

Space Pirates and Zombies	MinMax Games	2011	Un juego de acción rápida y directa de naves, con toda una galaxia por explorar. Destacable es lo fácil y rápido que es crear tus propias naves y la interfaz sencilla y eficaz que luce. Lo malo del juego es que progresa muy lentamente. Es un buen juego, especialmente en la parte de exploración y de combate. 6 de 10**At its core, Space Pirates and Zombies is an action based, skill oriented, top down space combat game. It’s similar to the ones we knew and loved in years past, but now using full physics simulation and modern graphics for those oh so pretty explosions. But as you dig deeper, SPAZ becomes much more. Instead of flying a single ship, you are in charge of an ever growing and evolving fleet, unlocking the rich tactical elements of SPAZ, all accessed at the touch of a button. Issue orders, change ships, apply fleet AI settings, all on the fly. At any moment the battle can change, and the Tactics Panel gives you the tools to make the battle turn in your favor. As a layer on top of the action and tactics, we have a detailed technology and levelup system akin to what you would expect from an RPG. Learn to build new ships by destroying your enemies. Explore the galaxy to find components, use your hard earned research points to unlock their potential, and then customize every aspect of your new fleet. Finally, there is the universe in which all this strife and adventure takes place. SPAZ features a persistent randomly generated Galaxy populated with story elements, factions, enemies, missions, items, to provide you with a unique experience each time you play. While you are struggling to survive, uncover the secret of an ever expanding Zombie infestation that spreads by establishing its own real time multi-tiered ecosystem. Key features: 33 ships to research, build, outfit and pilot. * 70 unique components to discover and customize your fleet’s performance. * Totally physics based combat system. * Fight Zombie infestations, battling a full zombie ecosystem comprising four stages of un-life. * Explore a persistent randomly generated galaxy containing hundreds of star systems. * Freedom to explore the galaxy and take on challenges at your own pace. * Aid, flee, or exploit the warring factions in each star system. * The unique event system lets the player change the balance of power in any star system * Carefully spend your hard earned research points on hundreds of upgrades across 15 categories.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl	THQ;GSC World Publishing (GSC Game World)	2007	On April 26, 1986, the world's worst nuclear accident occurred: Reactor 4 of the Chernobyl power station exploded, releasing clouds of radioactive matter. Soviet authorities established a 30km 'Exclusion Zone' around this nuclear wasteland, but in 2006 a second explosion rocked the stricken reactor, obliterating all living things and causing the Zone's boundaries to ripple outwards. From this epicentre came waves of mutated creatures, deadly radiation and strange, anomalous energy. The Zone was cordoned off by the military who would shoot on sight anyone foolish enough to brave the horrors within. It is now 2012 - man has ventured further and further into the heart of the Zone driven by reports of strange 'artifacts' imbued with anomalous energy. Mercenaries and bounty hunters compete to recover these artifacts, which command extortionate prices on the black market. Others seek to find the truth behind the Zone, whilst some merely revel in the desolate lawlessness of the place. Whatever their motivation, over time these individuals - Scavengers, Trespassers, Adventurers, Loners, Killer, Explorers and Robbers - have become known as S.T.A.L.K.E.R.s. Awakening in the Zone, you are one such S.T.A.L.K.E.R., fighting for survival in this man-made Hell, whilst trying to discover the truth behind Chernobyl's sinister past and ominous future. * An immersive storyline seamlessly blended with a living, breathing, non-linear open-world environment governed by the revolutionary 'A-Life' system * Accurately modelled real-word buildings and locations from deep inside the Chernobyl exclusion Zone * Unique 'Survival FPS' gameplay: Combines action, stealth, survival and RPG elements to create an incomparable experience in the Zone * Enemy Threat Evaluation AI system: NPC characters react dynamically to environments and situations * Brutally realistic combat mechanics - weapons display accurate ballistic properties and can be modified with silencers and telescopic scopes * Dynamic day/night and weather system directly impacts gameplay * Advanced physics and dynamic lighting effects powered by the proprietary 'X-Ray Engine' * Intense multiplayer action, supporting up to 32 players [THQ]**[b]Minimum:[/b] Windows 2000 SP4 or XP SP2 * Pentium IV 2 GHz or Athlon XP 2200+ * 512 MB RAM * 128 MB VRAM (GeForce 5700 or Radeon 9600) * 10 GB free HD space [b]Recommended:[/b] * Core 2 Duo E6400 or Athlon 64 X2 4200+ * 1.5 GB RAM * 256 MB VRAM (GeForce 7900 or Radeon X1950) [b]Maximum:[/b] * Core2 Duo E6700 or AMD 64 X2 5200+ * 2 GB RAM * 512 MB VRAM (GeForce 8800 or Radeon X2800)*Working title: [i]S.

Six years passed since the time of the Second catastrophe to have made the April events of 1986 fade. The game is set in the Chernobyl exclusion zone which turned from a destiny-breaker place into a threat to all mankind. The Zone is reluctant to open up its mysteries and needs to be forced to do it. It is a rare hero who can reach the very heart of the Zone onto find out what danger awaits him there. A danger which, compared to marauders and enemy groupings, all monsters and anomalies, will seem a mere preparation to the meeting with something more fatal and threatening. But for now... get ready, hero. Collect artefacts and trade, grope your path and keep an eye on the rear, catch roentgens and fight – only make sure you survive! And then, perhaps, if you are persistent and truly lucky, you will find out why all this had fallen on you.

Restricted Area	Whiptail Interactive (Master Creating)	2005	Restricted Area is an action RPG with an accent on both action and RPG. On one hand, we want to bring you more action--this means the game plays faster, the controls are more direct, and you can even find some shooter elements. For example, you can switch between your weapons without entering the inventory. On the other hand, we try to be more RPG-like, and we developed a discussion system with real choices, a storyline with surprising twists, and a complex but easy-to-use attribute and skill system. At the beginning of the game, four totally different characters meet each other in a downtown area. They have only one thing in common -- the need to start a new life. You choose the one you want to play as, and this choice determines the point of view you experience the story from. As the game's story develops, your character will be able to team up with a variety of other characters and fight against an evil company... FEATURES * Action-packed Cyber-Punk RPG which brings you into a dark and fascinating world compareable to Matrix and Bladerunner * Four totally different characters with unique skills, each with a detailed back-story, progress independently through the same narrative; the story is revealed from various angles * Complex roleplaying system: Each character has access to misc skills and to unique skills related to its characterization: 75 skills with 10 levels (750 skill levels in total). Uncountable number of weapons, Cyberware and Bioware to boost your abilities * Dynamic dialogues adapted to the situation and the player's actions Unlimited computer generated subquests and levels * Cooperative Multiplayer mode * Takes advantage of IRIS, the fastest and most powerful engine ever written for an isometric game, which took over two years to create and which has been created especially for Restricted Area. Innumerable visual effects, for example dynamical lights and shadows, rain, fog, smoke, dust, fire, water, explosions and reflections * Advanced combat system for fast-paced action with shooter elements. Environment effects combat. Imagine light, shadow, distance, height level, weather and movement of the target affect the chance to hit * Advanced AI with group tactics that reacts on your "visible strength" – the perceived strength and condition of your character, like the weapon in his hand [Master Creating]	Windows

[Box blurb]EAN-13: [code]4005209113038[/code]Red Faction: Guerrilla is a 3rd person, open-world action shooter set on Mars, 50 years after the events of the original Red Faction. Players assume the role of an insurgent fighter with the newly re-established Red Faction movement as they battle for liberation from the oppressive Earth Defense Force. Throughout their fight for freedom, players carve their own path, wreaking havoc across the vast, open-world environment of Mars, from the desolate mining outpost of Parker to the gleaming EDF capital city of Eos. Utilizing improvised weapons, explosives and re-purposed mining equipment and vehicles, Red Faction: Guerrilla allows players to tear through fully destructible environments in an unforgiving Martian landscape swarming with EDF forces, Red Faction resistance fighters, and the downtrodden settlers caught in the cross-fire. Red Faction: Guerrilla also features a robust multiplayer component, including several modes focused on destruction-based gameplay.*2009-09-11 on Steam, by THQ (lang: eng, cze, fre, ger, ita, jap, pol, rus, spa)	Windows
