Alien Shooter 2 - Conscription Sigma Team2012Apenas mejora nada respecto al primer título, sólo algo el apartado gráfico y la variedad de armamento.

Lo único reseñable es la posibilidad de coger una perk al principio del juego.

Sigue siendo un horror matar a enemigos a los que no ves por culpa de la cámara.

Mediocre.

* 1.3 GB HD space***Latest version: 1.0.9.6 (as of 2002-04-22)***Comes on 2 CDs.***Continuing with the three-games-in-one theory, an impressive storyline dominated this once again fear-based shooter. The Marine game was generally regarded as superior to either of the alien games, but two years on AvP2 still failed to match Half-Life as most people's favourite FPS.***Sequel to one of the most frightening games ever made, Aliens vs. Predator 2 takes you to Planet LV1201, where three diverse and bloodthirsty species battle for survival.
The story-driven plot weaves together the fates of all three races, while the action is as heart stopping as the blockbuster films on which this game is based. Choose to play as Alien, Predator, or Marine as you use your physical prowess, killer instincts, or superior firepower to stay alive.

Crysis  EA Partners (Crytek)2007El heredero espiritual del Far Cry, te presenta como un soldado todopoderoso que de golpe se ve en una situación complicada por una fuerza de carácter desconocido.
El uso de poderes hace que el juego funciona de una forma muy similar a las habilidades de un juego de rol (sobretodo porque al usarlos hay que pensar no sólo en sus ventajas sino en las desventajas eventuales), sólo que en vez de gastar maná gastas energía y no presenta especialización más allá de los módulos del arma.

[Games for Windows]***Crysis is a next-generation PC first-person shooter from Crytek, the award-winning developers of Far Cry. A stunning technical achievement, Crysis combines incredible visuals, cunning gameplay and an epic story that challenges gamers to adapt to survive.

Global tensions have reached boiling point as the U.S. and North Korea square off in the South China Sea. At stake: a mysterious artifact uncovered by a team of U.S. archeologists.

The North Korean government quickly seizes the area, prompting the U.S. to dispatch an elite team of Delta Force operatives on a rescue mission. During the siege the true nature of the artifact quickly emerges, pointing to the existence of an alien presence on Earth, and ultimately the trigger for a massive-scale alien invasion.

The battle to save Earth begins as the aliens' flash freeze the tropics into a ghostly-white frozen landscape.

As gamers take up arms against the aliens, they will be outfitted with customisable weapons and a high tech nano-suit, allowing them to adapt their tactics and abilities to a hostile, ever-changing environment and a mysterious enemy.

Powered by CryENGINE 2 , Crysis delivers the ultimate DX10 gaming experience for the PC, including unparalleled graphics, special effects and artificial intelligence. The game is also scaleable to deliver a breath-taking FPS experience for older DX9 PCs.

Shadowgrounds Plan 1;Meridian4 (Frozenbyte)2005Juego de acción cenital.

Aunque su historia y jugabilidad son bastante corrientes, su control y cámara marcan la diferencia por su perfecto manejo. Además el hecho de la batería limitada hace usarla cuando es debido (no sólo cuando hay oscuridad) un elemento clave, trayendo reminiscencias del primer Half-Life.

De lo mejor de este tipo de juegos, aunque la secuela Shadowgrounds:Survivor es mejor.

6 de 10***[b]distorted vision[/b] - getting poisoned causes this***Shadowgrounds breathes fresh air into the action genre with explosive combat sequences, an innovative weapon upgrade system, and an intriguing storyline. The adrenaline-pumping, top-down gameplay and audiovisual fireworks set the scene for this new action experience which also includes single computer (split keyboard or joystick) co-op play.

UPGRADE THOSE WEAPONS! Use a devastating arsenal of high-tech weaponry to dispose of the alien threat. Each weapon has multiple upgrades that maximize the carnage. Unleash the flames of the Flamethrower's Fuel Trap, cause mayhem with the Grenade Launcher's Poison Grenades, slash and dice the monsters with the Laser Rifle's Pinpoint Laser - and many more!

WHAT LURKS IN THE SHADOWS? Shadowgrounds uses cutting-edge realistic lighting and glow technology to light up the battlefield and create detailed shadows producing an atmosphere of fear. But the lighting and the flashlight also affect some aliens' behavior – take advantage of that and you can turn the tide in the game of fear by using your flashlight effectively.

DESTRUCTIBLE ENVIRONMENT! What good are weapons and special effects if you can't wreak havoc on the environment? Shadowgrounds lets you go all-out - glass shatters, ground shakes, trees fall, barrels explode and furniture blows to smithereens. You can use the environment to your advantage.

THEY'RE BIG AND NASTY! Big, brutal monsters await you. Prepare to face many different bosses who will do anything to stop your journey. They're nasty, blood-thirsty beasts, but don't give in to fear - remember to use the environment and the lighting to your advantage!

* Upgrade weaponry with powerful modifications.
* Face enormous monsters in boss battles.
* Destructible environment allows you to wreak havoc with your arsenal.
* Visit many exciting locations, including a secret military base and the alien-infested colony New Atlantis.
* Fight side-by-side with NPC allies against the massive alien hordes.
* Check security cameras and computer logs to investigate alien origins.
* Realistic lighting with gameplay effects bring the aliens out of the shadows.
* Enjoy horrifying sound effects and a thrilling music soundtrack made exclusively for Shadowgrounds.

Tomb Raider  Square Enix (Crystal Dynamics)2013Probablemente el mejor Tomb Raider jamás hecho, aunque abusa un poco de los QTM y se nota la ausencia de puzzles.
Aún así, la mezcla de acción-plataformas está mejor realizada que nunca.
