Globulation 2	-	2004	This is an RTS (Real Time Strategy) game designed to reduce micromanagement. The player does not pick out individual citizens to command. But rather, the player specifies how many citizens a task will take and the citizens do their best to fill that number. The player can assign more or less people depending on how fast he wants the task done and what tasks are a high priority. The citizens in the game are globs. There are worker globs that are the main population. There's also specialized winged explorer blobs that can fly anywhere to take a peek and also drop bombs if their level is sufficient. Finally there are specialized buffed out warrior blobs that can defend and attack other blobs or buildings. Different blobs have different nutritional requirements that can be filled by different foods, some of which are rare in most scenarios, but all blobs need wheat, which is usually common. Buildings need different materials that the workers will need to fetch. There are buildings to teach, general knowledge, swimming, military, and speed. Feeding stations to store and distribute food. Hospitals to heal the sick and wounded. Trade centers to better distributed rare foods. Towers and walls to militantly defend areas. Finally, players can create zones and points of interest to direct workers away from or too an area to explore, attack, defend, or clear vegetation. The computer fills the opponents rolls if human players are not available via LAN, Ysagoon Online Gaming (Internet), or even on a single computer using a little Linux magic. For single computer multiplayer, each player will need their own distinct mouse and keyboard properly configured.

The Great Flu	-	2009	Besides having obvious educational content on infectious diseases, virii that cause them and so forth, the game can also be considered to have some level of educational content on how governments can help the general public fight them off, especially when they occur on epidemic/pandemic scale, since that's what the actual gameplay is about. This is done on a very crude level however.	Flash

Anomaly 2	11 bit studios	2013	In the years following the invasion of Earth in 2018, the planet is overrun by alien machines. Humankind is on the verge of extinction. Banded together in huge convoys, they search the frozen tundra for food and supplies. Since the war, the roles have been reversed: now our species seems to be the Anomaly on a machine-controlled planet. Your convoy, Commander, is called Yukon. Anomaly 2 is a real-time strategy game that takes the tower offense concept from Anomaly Warzone Earth to a new level. Maintaining the core concepts of the original – tactical planning and the on-field Commander to support troops in combat – Anomaly 2 introduces a number of important new features: * Morph your troops into war mechs to discover the new face of strategy: each unit has a different mech form with various abilities to help you overcome specific combat situations. * Engage in a multiplayer experience unique to Anomaly 2: tower defense vs. tower offense. Play as the towers and destroy the humans or lead the humans to annihilate the alien towers. * Fight across a post-apocalyptic world in a new single-player campaign that offers a more intense strategy experience than the acclaimed original. * Carve your own path to victory and create your ultimate battle squad. With over million tactical combinations to build your squad, your options in combat are nearly endless. * Dive into a beautifully rendered world, thanks to the team’s new and improved visual engine: * Experience alternative endings dependent upon your approach to enemy machines in the campaign.

Evolve	2K Games (Turtle Rock Studios)	2015	One vs. all in monster format, this asimetric action game faces a team of 4 crazy gunman hunters with an abomination of nature fueled by crude melee combat and some sneaky options. Pros: -Great variety of monsters, going for more brute approach to almost hit-and-hide tipe of darwinistic nightmares. -Hide-and-seek gameplay done well. -Different tactics for different teams of warriors (synergy at its best) Cons: -Favors playtime vs. ability (gives to much power through unlockables to experienced players), unbalancing the game A LOT. 5 of 10***Formerly THQ was the publisher/producer until they went bankrupt and the project was bought by 2K Games.

The Bureau: XCOM Declassified	2K Games (2K Marin)	2013	Aunque de primeras parece un shooter del montón, lo que le convierte en un buen juego es el control y manejo de tu escuadra, donde es importante saber cómo moverlos y de que habilidades disponen, convirtiéndolo en un juego de acción a tiempo real pero con momentos de planificación, a medio camino entre los X-COM clásicos y un Rainbow Six. 7 de 10*The year is 1962 and the Cold War has the nation gripped by fear. A top-secret government unit called The Bureau begins investigating a series of mysterious attacks by an enemy more powerful than communism. As agent Carter, call the shots, pull the trigger and lead your squad in a gripping third-person tactical shooter set within a covert war to protect humanity from an otherworldly enemy.*The plot has a tragic logical fallacy about the Bureau performing a complete erasing of the truth of what happened, except the invasion was global and they had no control over what happened in other countries and the amount of secrecy they held over the event (likely poor/none in several), yet it's said no evidence of the invasion was left to the public.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion	2K Games (Bethesda Game Studios)	2006	The fourth title in the best-selling Elder Scrolls series brings the RPG genre to new heights with its combination of freeform gameplay and cutting-edge graphics. Oblivion features a 3D engine that can render stunningly realistic environments, groundbreaking AI for all characters in the game, and the same open-ended gameplay style that has made The Elder Scrolls one of the most critically acclaimed franchises of all-time. After the mysterious and untimely death of the Emperor, desperate factions vie for control of Tamriel's throne. With the empire ready to crumble, the gates of Oblivion open and demons march upon the land, laying waste to everything in their path. To turn the tide of darkness the player must find the lost heir to the throne and unravel the sinister plot that threatens to destroy all of Tamriel. Features: * Return of the Elder Scrolls. The sequel to the best-selling, role-playing game, The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. * Live Another Life in Another World Gamers can create and play any character they can imagine, from the noble warrior to the sinister assassin to the wizened sorcerer. * Next Generation Graphics Pixel-shader effects and high definition televisions are fully supported to create unprecedented visuals, including lifelike towns, dungeons and the most realistic forests ever created in a game. * First Person Melee and Magic An all-new combat and magic system brings first person role-playing to a new level of intensity where you feel every blow. * Radiant A Groundbreaking AI system gives Oblivion's characters full 24/7 schedules and the ability to make their own choices based on the world around them. Non-player characters eat, sleep and complete goals all on their own. * Realistic Characters Features over 1,000 non-player characters who come to life like never before with facial animations, lip-synching and full speech. They even engage in unscripted conversations with each other. * Open-Ended Game Play; Short Challenges The enormous world of Oblivion is open, allowing players to explore at their own pace. Players will encounter shorter challenges such as fighting bandits, mixing potions, and creating magic along the way to unraveling the main quest. [R2D2-A]	X360
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 Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion	2K Games;Bethesda Softworks (Bethesda Game Studios)	2006	Oblivion is set during the Third Era, six years after the events of The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, although it is not a direct sequel to it or any other game. The game is set in Cyrodiil—a province of Tamriel, the continent on which all the games in the series have so far taken place. The story begins with the player imprisoned in a cell for an unknown crime. Emperor Uriel Septim VII, accompanied by Imperial bodyguards known as the Blades, arrives in the prison, fleeing from assassins who have murdered the emperor's three sons and are now targeting him. The emperor and the Blades reveal that the player's jail cell contains a secret entrance to a part of the city's sewer that functions as an escape route. Pardoned by the emperor, the player follows the group into the sewer, where they come under attack by assassins. The blade captain is cut down during the fighting that ensues. Knowing he is destined to die by the hands of the assassins, Uriel Septim entrusts the player with the Amulet of Kings, worn by the Septim emperors of Tamriel, and orders the player to take it to a man named Jauffre, the grandmaster of the Blades, at Weynon Priory. Immediately afterward, one of the assassins kills the emperor. The player escapes the sewer and heads out into the open world of Cyrodiil.* [100]* [12]**[b]Add-ons:[/b] (DLC) Knights of the Nine * Horse Armor * Frostcrag * Battlehorn Castle * Mehrune's Razor * Orrery * Thieves' Den * Vile Lair (Deepscorn Hollow) * Spell Tomes [i]Shivering Isles[/i] is also DLC but adds ~30 hours of gameplay and is considered an actual expansion rather than minor add-on.*[b]Performance optimization:[/b] 1) In [code]Oblivion.ini[/code] set [code]iMinGrassSize=130[/code] (default: 80), this makes grass more sparse (the grass is mostly CPU intensive). 2) Disable HDR and use only Bloom effect (HDR in Oblivion is very hackish anyway).

INT 2009-06-16 on Steam, by Bethesda Softworks (lang: eng) --- GOTY edition, includes Knights of the Nine and the Shivering Isles expansions.Oblivion, when it still wasn't out in the light, held my hopes of redeeming the errors done in Morrowind for the series, but woe it was not to be so. Oblivion is much like Morrowind, except they ruined the beast races' looks even more (though I kinda like it they chose not to use digitigrade legs for them instead of vainly trying to get them to work like they tried in Morrowind - it was a horrible sight if you don't know). Anyways, Oblivion did have many improvements over Morrowind, the graphic mood isn't as happy as in Morrowind, but still needs work to reach what it was In Daggerfall to really suit my taste (Battlespire and Redguard had the mood right, too). The graphic side really had gained some improvement (mostly just tech eyecandy), except the land still looks like it's made of bent plastic like in Morrowind. Unsurprisingly the AI seems to have received extremely little attention, with the opponents blindly rushing in at you or blasting from afar with little regard to tactics or anything else than to attack and.. well.. attack. The last time I saw AI this weak was in Serious Sam, but that game didn't really need it. Still, You'd have expected Oblivion to have something more advanced but no, it seems they ignored it completely. It's also sad that they still rely on level-scaling the opponents to keep the "challenge" up, but that makes the world seem ridiculous since everything becomes tougher with you. So, in the end, you don't kick the ass out of those pesky rats any more easily then than you did when you just started out of the prison, which leaves room to question, what is the leveling there really for? It seems as if you leveling up means the world is becoming more and more dangerous simply because _you_ are becoming better (by around level 20 pretty much every bandit and God knows what is wearing full Daedric armour and weapons all enchanted to the brink with who knows what), raising curious questions about what your character really is to cause such grand change in the order of things. Your actions still go largely unnoticed by others and have little impact on things that you can do, making one wonder what they really did for the series. The story goes on, the series gets better tech, but the gameplay stays the same crappy self from year to year. If they ever decide to make fifth chapter, well... if it looks like nothing's changed from this for the better, then my hope for the series will be gone for good.*Game links: [[link:http://www.tessource.net/ The Elder Scrolls Source (mods)]] [[link:http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/ Planet Elder Scrolls (mods)]] [[link:http://timeslip.chorrol.com/obmm_download.html Oblivion Mod Manager]] [[link:http://jorgeoscuro.googlepages.com/home Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul]] [[link:http://www.tescreens.be/oblivionmodwiki/index.php/Cosmetic_Compilation Cosmetic Compilation (mod for making better looking characters)]] [[link:http://korana.elricm.com/eshme_bodies.htm Eshme's Bodies (better bodies)]] [[link:http://btmod.beider.org/ BTmod (better UI)]] [cjlee001]	Windows

Shot down. Stranded. Lost. Left for dead. The only way off this rock is through a very powerful enemy. What else could possibly go wrong? ...apart from that ticking thermo-nuclear planet killer our drop ship launched earlier.[/i] The Terrans have been at war with the Gammulan race for years. In an attempt to change the tide of war and take the battle to the enemy, Galactic Command, the Terran military body, launched an all out attack on the Gammulan homeworlds. Deployed in a distant hostile territory on the other side of the known galaxy, GALCOM forces were met with repeated defeat and unprecedented losses. GALCOM deployed another fleet along with a decoy, the GCV-Excalibur, carrying a devastating orbit to surface weapon. The R.A.N.D.O.M (Random Access Nuclear Destruction of Obsolete Matter) weapon, otherwise known as the "planet killer". A weapon which had only been used once before. After an intense battle, a badly damaged GCV-Excalibur managed to slip through the Gammulan defenses and attempted to land on the nearby Gammulan planet of LV-115. Engaged by undetected planet based Surface To Orbit weaponry, the all but destroyed craft crash landed on the hostile planet. But not before deploying the devastating weapon. Badly damaged, ninety percent crew loss and with the R.A.N.D.O.M weapon deployed and ticking, the intense planetside battles that ensue tell the story of a surviving group of four combat veterans stuck on a hostile planet, believed dead, hunted by the enemy and in a race against time to either locate and disarm the weapon or get off the planet before it detonates. Problem is, the only way off the planet is through an overwhelming enemy force. Gameplay Highlights Massive. Open World.
