Aliens versus Predator: Extinction	Electronic Arts (Zono)	2003	All I can say about this game is that it would've been awesome without the Predators, with twice as long vision range and if completing the optional objectives was actually useful. Others beside me have expressed their desire for multiplayer, too, though I personally would've loved a custom scenarios. [b]Basic description:[/b] There's a campaign for each faction: colonial marines, predator clan and the xenomorph hive. Each campaign has 7 missions with varying goals, though each requires killing of something before the day is done (even if the actual goal isn't to kill anyone). Personally I found the xenomorph campaign to be easiest and the most enjoyable, wishing there was much more of it. The marines came second though with them the gameplay is much more difficult since their extrasensory detector does not allow attacking outside the sight radius. Predator campaign is the hardest, mostly because you control only so few characters and they some specialized units require specialized units from you that normally aren't very useful. Usually at these times you'd want your other units to stay the hell away from the combat, but they have inborn suicidal tendencies which prevent this (although you could tell them not to move, but that eliminates most of their usefulness in pretty much every other situation). More powerful units are unlocked as each campaign progresses. [b]Faction specifics:[/b] [i]Marines[/i] have only ranged weapons, some only useful at close range - such as the flamethrower marine. Marines have only motion detector to see outside their visibility range and therefore rely on sending synthetics to increase it (synthetics also are the only ones to carry the detector). Without this the marines are severely disadvantaged due to their even naturally abysmal sight range and reliance on ranged weapons (kinda quirky for the purely ranged faction to have the worst sight). Some marine weapons have questionable effectiveness, such as the impact grenade launchers the regular pulse rifle marines get. Single alien warrior can survive 4+ hits from such and still be combat efficient. Marines are healed by the specialized medic who also removes special effects caused by predators and xenomorphs. Synthetics and the sentry gun are the only ones that can dispel predator cloak. Marines gain miniscule amount of requisition points (credits) with each kill (20-50 or so), and they can additionally tap to power stations for additional though finite credit flow (usually 2000; compare the price of 350 of synthetic and you get the picture). Reinforcements are called in by a ComTech and they arrive at the nearest drop site, marked by a landing beacon (part of the level design, can't be designated by the player). If no ComTech survives, the player must do with what she has left as there's no way to order new troops or new ComTechs after that. Medics require another medic to heal themselves, so having two medics is a necessity. Marines are also limited that they can only bring 6 units to the mission with each call and have to wait for the dropship to arrive drop the new troops and leave before more can be ordered. [i]Predators[/i] have range of melee and ranged units. Heavy emphasis on cloaking and taking out any detectors employed by the opposition. With vision enhancements the effective sight radius is immense, making plasmacasters, disc throwers, and spear throwers immensively powerful. Unfortunately the AI knows your reliance on cloaking and spams detectors half the time, effectively nullifying any benefits it has in your use, due to their vast numbers, it isn't practical to kill them instead of the other units with actually damaging weapons. Predators require energy to keep the cloak active, which usually lasts for quite some time, but the energy regenerates extremely slowly. The same energy is used by the medical equipment each predator carries (they can heal only themselves). The center of operations for predators is the Shrine, a floating altar with a veritable weapons system and ability to rapidly self-repair. Predators have three global upgrades unlike the other factions, unlocking each of the three vision modes for detecting heat, electrical and predator signatures at extreme range. Unfortunately none of these seem to catch synthetics, making humans the most difficult opponent you face. A minuscule amount of requisition is gained with each kill, more is gained by extracting the skulls from the slain enemies (your enemies can destroy the corpses to prevent this, and some of your weapons totally annihilate the bodies, also preventing it). The Shrine works similarly to a ComTech in terms of its necessity. However, new troops arrive instantly by drop pods around the Shrine. [i]Xenomorphs[/i] effectively simulate the alien life cycle and have heavy emphasis on melee units. Xenomorphs have decent sight radius and additionally employ "spore vision". Spore vision works by marking any [i]organic[/i] enemies so they're visible to the player at any range from henceforth, also eliminating any use of the predator cloak. The xenomorph lifecycle starts with the egg, which bursts open and sends a facehugger flying at the nearest enemy. This is rather unusual event, though. Without any other units, the facehugger would quickly seek prey and impregnate them with a chestburster. The chestburster rapidly emerges and evolves to one of the xenomorph breeds designated by the host organism. Runners and drones from animals, warriors from humans, predaliens from predators and so forth. The egg must be upgraded to Praetorian egg at cost of 300 points, which then gives birth to praetorian facehugger, a much larger and tougher one that can impregnate armed marine single handedly (regular facehuggers require a large group to accomplish it). This produces Praetorian xenomorph regardless of host creature, similar to drone and warrior but much tougher and powerful. The Praetorian also disperses spores. Praetorian can then be evolved into hive queen, the near-equivalent of CommTech and Shrine except it's effectively even more powerful version of the Praetorian. Unlike the other factions, the queen does not order new troops, instead, she lays eggs at steady pace (though this makes her immobile and unable to defend herself, the egg production can be ceased to change this, but growing a new egg sack costs some requisition points). The other xenomorphs are used to kill enemies, drones are especially important with their cystic upgrade as any creature infected with them creates more powerful xenomorphs (prefixed with cystic). Usually you want several drones to accompany your war parties to ensure as many as possible are infected with them. Almost all xenomorphs leave their victims alive although comatose. These comatose creatures can then be dragged back to the hive (gather command is especially useful for this) where the ready waiting facehuggers can safely impregnate the creatures. Human civilians and animals have a habit of respawning, so you [i]usually[/i] have ready source for at least one breed of xenomorphs. There can be only one queen however, but if the queen is lost, as long as you have at least one egg, praetorian facehugger, or praetorian, a new one can be acquired as easily as your basic xenomorph breed. Xenomorphs also don't spend their points on acquiring new troops, only upgrades. Drones are unique also in the manner that they can spawn hive nodes that produce the spore vision, they also produce biogrowth in a small radius on which xenomorphs heal. Only Runner and PredAlien can heal outside of this. Since aliens need so little of the points for anything real, the player can and should spam the hive nodes to expand their early warning system, increase the number of locations where they can heal and generally to be a nuisance to the other factions. Note however, that the facehuggers slowly die outside of the alien biogrowth and generally have abysmal resilience to beatdown, making them only useful in large masses against mostly singular armed enemies, however, since they're free, they do provide some use. [i]Common[/i] to all factions are that upgrades are once per mission style instantaneous improvements to all units of certain type, usually costing 350 points on average (from range of about 200-600).**[b]unit limit[/b] - pitiful 25 for marines, 45 for xenomorphs and 12 for predators. [b]objective indicator[/b] - not always present, though these usually explicitly tell you to find it. [b]status effects[/b] - some of the upgrades cause these, especially the xenomorph ones. The flamethrower upgrade makes the most sense. The predator bleeder spear makes some sense but is implemented in a very status effect-like manner.

Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars	Electronic Arts (EA Los Angeles)	2007	CnC3 is probably the hardest strategy game I know, and not because the AI is that good, but because it cheats so much. Even on the so called easy difficulty the game is frustratingly hard to even barely win (later) missions. Besides that I still like it, especially the revised GDI and the all new Scrin faction. As a game I would not recommend this to anyone but the masochistic players or diehard Tiberium series fans.*Latest version: 1.09 (as of ?)March, 2047. A massive nuclear fireball explodes high in the night sky, marking the dramatic beginning to the Third Tiberium War and long-awaited return of the most groundbreaking Real-time Strategy franchise (RTS) of all time. The critically-acclaimed Command & Conquer (C&C) series returns with Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars (C&C 3). Setting the standard for the future of RTS gaming once more, C&C 3 takes you back to where it all began—the Tiberium Universe. In 2047, Tiberium has blanketed the Earth, which is now divided into zones based on the level of Tiberium infestation. Pristine Blue Zones represent 20% of the planet's surface and are the last refuge of the civilized world. Partially habitable Yellow Zones make up 50% of the planet's surface; most of the world's population lives in these war-torn and ecologically ravaged areas. The remaining 30% of the planet is uninhabitable, a Tiberium wasteland swept by violent Ion Storms. Red Zones are like the surface of an Alien planet. The infamous Kane has returned to lead the Brotherhood of Nod in a massive global assault on the Global Defense Initiative and the few remaining Blue zones left on the planet. Only you can stop him. The fate of humanity – and the planet – is in your hands. Featuring state-of-the-art, next-generation graphics, an epic story with live action, full-motion video sequences, and the classic fast-paced C&C style of play, C&C 3 sets the standard for the single player RTS experience.

Command & Conquer: Generals	Electronic Arts (EA Pacific)	2003	A new chapter in the Command & Conquer universe, set somewhere in the 2020s, pits three sides for global domination: the United States of America, the People's Republic of China and the Global Liberation Army (GLA). Generals features real world (renamed or slightly altered) weapons combined with quasi-high-tech ones, new control schemes and a fast-paced multiplayer. Generals is the first game in the Command & Conquer series not to include FMV or pre-rendered cutscenes between missions, and was also the first C&C game without the Westwood Studios label (although the development studio was initially called Westwood Pacific before being merged into EA Pacific). It uses a full 3D environment powered by the SAGE engine, a modified version of the W3D engine previously seen in C&C: Renegade. The core gameplay differs somewhat from other games in the series, a move done in order to modernize the formula. First off, construction yards are absent, as structures are built by dozers for the USA and China, and workers for the GLA. The sidebar is replaced with the bottom bar, and support powers are "purchased" with leveling up as a general, which is done through participating in combat. For the first time in the series, each factory-type structure (barracks, war factory, airfield...) has its own build queue, in the same fashion as in Blizzard's RTS titles before it, instead of having a shared one like in the previous C&C games. Upgrades are available for the first time in the series as well, bringing improvements to units and structures. Everything is paid for in advance instead of having credits slowly drain as the object is constructed.* [100]* [12]***Latest version: 1.08 (as of ?)	Windows

Dead Island	Techland;Deep Silver (Techland)	2011	An open sandbox zombie survival game with crafting (talking about fresh ideas) that brings both brute gory fun and great atmosphere. Pros: -Simple crafting-upgrade system. -Stamina-reliant combat and movement. -IA (specially for beings that hunt down brains) -Drowning zombies. -Leveling up with RPG-like characters and trees (Borderlands anyone?) Cons: -No animals. -No use of extra weapons for repairing or carftfing. -No swimming. -Right seat wheel car. 6 of 10*Note that Dead Island does not strictly match Zombie Apocalypse genre as the zombie outbreak is limited to the island of Banoi with an excessive military quarantine making sure nothing goes in or out of there, thus the outbreak is sufficiently contained. However, none of the events in the game take place outside the containment area, giving it the overall appearance of zombie apocalypse without actually being it.Terror. Violence. Madness. Bedlam. A holiday paradise gone mad. A tropical island turns into total chaos after a mysterious zombie outbreak. Cut off from the rest of the world, the player’s only chance to survive is to fight to the death and find a way to escape from the island. Dead Island combines first-person action with a heavy focus on melee combat, character development and customization of a vast array of weapons. All of these gameplay features are presented in a dark story inspired by classic zombie movies with a gritty and engrossing campaign that can be played with up to four players in co-op mode. Set in an open world tropical island, hordes of different festering zombies await players around every corner while they embark on a variety of thrilling missions through the holiday resort. With firearms and ammunition being scarce the player must rely on utilizing found items as weapons for self-defense and fight off zombie hordes in intense melee combat. A diverse range of items can be collected and will later serve to transform the player’s ordinary makeshift weapons into serious instruments of destruction. In addition to satisfying even the most bloodthirsty action fan’s fantasy, Dead Island also features role-playing elements which allow the player to develop one of the game’s unique character classes according to their preferences, all the while learning new skills and fresh tactics during their journey through the perilous environments of the island. What’s more, anytime during a game up to four players can seamlessly join together and experience the intense combat and immersive story with cooperative gameplay. With the all-new Chrome Engine 5 powering Dead Island, the game will use the latest installment of Techland’s acclaimed proprietary game engine, allowing the player to experience the tropical island paradise in graphical splendor with diverse environments like lush forests and detailed city environments.

Frozen Synapse	Mode 7 Games	2011	Un juego de estrategia/acción por turnos, donde debes planificar tus acciones no sólo en función de lo que tu quieres hacer, sino también pensando en las acciones del rival. Muy mental (aunque demolerlo todo a bazocazos es sencillo y eficaz), desgraciadamente no hay tanta gente para jugar partidas como antaño. Lo cual es curioso, ya que debido a su planteamiento tu envías/recibes una partida y recibir la respuesta/contestarla días más tarde con su/tu estrategia, para ver el resultado de vuestras acciones y seguir (si ambos permanecéis mínimamente vivos) Original como el sólo, el único defecto que le veo es que su campaña es excesivamente exigente (su curva de dificultad hace de su tutorial un infierno y de su campaña una quimera, se aprende más jugando en multijugador) Un interesante enfoque en los juegos de acción por turnos. 6 de 10*A semi-abstract, semi-cyberspace tactical squad-based combat strategy with ability to give surprisingly complex commands to your troops at about decisecond precision. Each turn is about 5 seconds of action where you need to plan your moves in a way that avoids unnecessarily loss of life by scanning surroundings, controlling facing, designating targets to focus or ignore, etc. and since actions can cross the timeline between turns, you can easily end up with a turn starting where you have a rocket a millimeter way from your trooper's face with no solution available to save them. Each singleplayer mission takes place on randomly generated map that is generated again if you restart that mission, disallowing you to grind same level over and over again to win it by brute forcing your tactics (as in, the challenges if not the goals are different on each try). Multiplayer at the time of writing only has 1-vs-1 battles against human players.Frozen Synapse is the ultimate tactical game on PC and Mac. It brings the simultaneous turn-based strategy genre bang up-to-date and lets you give detailed, accurate orders to your squad: classic gameplay with a modern interface. Plan your moves, test them out, then hit the "Prime" button: both you and your enemy's turns are executed simultaneously. Competitive-but-intuitive multiplayer and a huge single player campaign mean that Frozen Synapse will give you hours and hours of tactical delight. Key features: Get a FREE full copy of the game for a friend with every purchase * 5 challenging multiplayer modes, including the innovative bidding-based "Secure" and "Hostage Rescue" * 55-mission single player campaign with dynamic dialogue and thrilling near-future narrative * Powerful Skirmish Generator * Facebook, Twitter and YouTube integration * 15 Steam Achievements * Integrated IRC chat as well as various community features * Random generation combined with hand-crafted content means that levels and maps are different every time * Critically-acclaimed electronica soundtrack by musician nervous_testpilot***[media=youtube]aXbsSLeINhg[/media]	Windows

Kerbal Space Program	Squad;Take-Two Interactive (Squad)	2015	Tag notes. Accepting a contract that gives an advance does not even suggest to the player that using that money elsewhere is always unethical and also nearly always illegal. In fact, there is no enforcement; cancellation, completion, or failure of the contract and modification of reputation, science points, and/or funds are the only rules. This makes embezzlement very easy and useful with no consequences (should the contract be fulfilled on time using replacement funds) to the game or the conscience of the protagonist or the actual player (unless the player knows about real embezzlement. Many children and some adults do not, or won't recognize when they are doing it in the game). An extreme example of locationaldamage in the game would be having a only center connecting part of a rocket explode due to heat from reentry friction. The remaining two rocket parts could continue falling undamaged. They could each land safely if they each had antiquate parachutes or a functioning command module and fueled engine to land softly. The two parts could even reconnect into a sing craft if equipped with compatible docking ports (and if a skillful player could align them _during reentry_).	Linux

Mafia II	2K Games (2K Czech)	2010	Un juego que, aunque con una jugabilidad "sanbox" al estilo GTA, presenta una argumento más serio y sobretodo una recreación tan bonita como inmersiva de los mediados del S.XX en EEUU. In short: third person action/driving sandbox in the 40s-50s. Pros: Great atmosphere and details, especially in cars. Great jazz and rock music Collectables that are worth the time to search them Cons: The action is too often limited for a videogame, too filmic. Very limited choices in the story 6 of 10**[b]DLC add-ons:[/b] Jimmy's Vendetta * Greaser Pack * Renegade Pack * Vegas Pack * War Hero Pack * Joe's Adventure**[b]Minimum:[/b] Windows XP w/ SP2, Vista or 7 * 3 GHz Pentium D or Athlon 64 X2 3600+ CPU * 1.5 GB RAM * GeForce 8600 or Radeon HD2600 Pro GPU * 8 GB HD space [b]Recommended:[/b] * 2.4 GHz quad-core CPU * 2 GB RAM * GeForce 9800 GTX or Radeon HD 3870 GPU * 10 GB HD space	Windows

Red Dead Redemption	Rockstar Games (Rockstar San Diego)	2010	Developed by Rockstar San Diego, as a follow up to the 2004 hit game Red Dead Revolver, Red Dead Redemption is a Western epic, set at the turn of the 20th century when the lawless and chaotic badlands began to give way to the expanding reach of government and the spread of the Industrial Age. The story of former outlaw, John Marston, Red Dead Redemption takes players on a great adventure across the American frontier. Utilizing Rockstar's proprietary Rockstar Advanced Game Engine (RAGE), Red Dead Redemption features an open-world environment for players to explore, including frontier towns, rolling prairies teeming with wildlife, and perilous mountain passes - each packed with an endless flow of varied distractions. Along the way, players experience the heat of gunfights and battles, meet a host of unique characters, struggle against the harshness of one of the world’s last remaining wildernesses, and ultimately pick their own precarious path through an epic story about the death of the Wild West and the gunslingers that inhabited it.

StarCraft	Blizzard Entertainment	1998	In the distant future, the newly formed Terran Dominion faces the arrival of two hostile alien races: the savage Zerg and the enigmatic Protoss. Gather resources and expand your forces to lead them to victory. The only allies are enemies. The only choice is war.*For 1-8 players, with teams or in FFA. Cross-platform play with Mac.Latest version: 1.16 (as of 2008-11-27)*An incredible RTS that requires both brains and speed. Not trackball- or trackpad-friendly. Though the graphics are rather primitive by today's standards, that's only because this game is relatively old. It features three different playable races, each of which requires different strategies for maximum effectiveness. Play as the versatile Terran colonists, the voracious Zerg xenomorphs, or the enigmatic, psionically gifted Protoss (my personal favorite). The game also includes a map editing program for the unique SCM and SCX map format, enabling a patient user to craft new maps and scenarios. Some of the features take some getting used to, but FAQs are available at [[link:http://www.blizzard.com/starcraft]]. The screenshot at right is from the first mission in the expansion, StarCraft: Brood War. [StarSword]EXCELLENT realtime strategy game.This is a very good game and requires a lot of skill, but also quickness. The expansion (Starcraft: Brood War) brings a lot more into the game.
