| System Shock 2 | Electronic Arts;Night Dive Studios (Looking Glass Studios;Irrational Games) | 1999 | The developer desired to create a Linux version of this game but did not have access to the source code. When pressed for further details they say that the source code is lost. Subsequently, there is an officially supported wine based Linux port available on Steam. Further reports suggest that a stolen version of the source code may be in the possession of an illegal hacker. Sections of this stolen code are available on the web but because of current US copyright law the stolen code cannot be used by anyone, including current ligitimate developers of the game.***MPN: [code]LGE08902537S[/code] (box), [code]LGE08902537CA[/code] (other side of the box), [code]LGE08902537IB[/code] (jewel case), [code]LGE08902537D[/code] (CD) GTIN/EAN-13: [code]5030930021290[/code]***[b]Minimum:[/b] * Windows 95 or 98 * 200 MHz Pentium CPU * 32 MB free RAM * 2 MB VRAM * 250 MB HD space [b]Recommended:[/b] * 300 MHz Pentium II CPU * 64 MB free RAM * 4 MB VRAM * 3D accelerator * 550 MB HD space***UNIQUE COMBINATION OF SCI-FI HORROR AND ROLE PLAYING AND 1ST-PERSON GAMEPLAY Enter the O.S.A. to fine-tune your mind to manipulate your environment and carry out deadly psionic warfare.

Like System Shock 1, there will be persistent levels (i.e., drop an item on one level, and you could go back later to retrieve it), gameplay elements like logs, inventory, skills, persistent world, leaning, hacking, RPG elements, multiple weapons and enemies, and a compelling storyline. Unlike most other first person shooters, the purpose of System Shock was not to kill everything in sight; nor was it a "find the key to move onto the next level" game. The plot was always present, but not so confining as in traditional shooters—there was almost always more than one task to accomplish. Levels were realistically designed and had logical reasons behind them. It is the principle of System Shock 2 to continue this game design." | labelimagesubject |
| Deus Ex | Eidos Interactive (Ion Storm) | 2000 | 2007-03-29 on Steam; GOTY edition (lang: eng)***This GAME OF THE YEAR EDITION of the smash hit Deus Ex features an all-new multiplayer mode and a new head-to-head deathmatch mode. Also included is a software development kit, so you'll be able to create both single and multiplayer missions from scratch, as well as modify existing ones. The year is 2052 and the world is a dangerous and chaotic place. Terrorists operate openly - killing thousands; drugs, disease and pollution kill even more. The world's economies are close to collapse and the gap between the insanely wealthy and the desperately poor grows ever wider. Worst of all, an ages old conspiracy bent on world domination has decided that the time is right to emerge from the shadows and take control. No one believes they exist. No one but you. * Real role-playing from an immersive 3D, first-person perspective. The game includes action, character interaction and problem solving. * Realistic, recognizable locations. Many of the locations are built from actual blueprints of real places set in a near future scenario. * A game filled with people rather than monsters. This creates empathy with the game characters and enhances the realism of the game world. * Rich character development systems: Skills, augmentations, weapon and item selections and multiple solutions to problems ensure that no two players will end the game with similar characters. * Multiple solutions to problems and character development choices ensure a varied game experience. Talk, fight or use skills to get past obstacles as the game adapts itself to your style of play. * Strong storyline: Built on "real" conspiracy theories, current events and expected advancements in technology. If it's in the game, someone, somewhere believes it. [Valve - GOTY edition]***If there's a thing that doesn't make sense, then it's the early sound cutoff bug this game has on my system. After trying solutions that work in every other game, I found on a forum that switching to sw rendering and back to D3D fixes it temporarily, and it did, even OpenGL rendering didn't have it. But both of those had some other issues I didn't want so I kept looking. Until I switched off vsync, and behold, sound clipping is [i]gone[/i]. Fine and dandy with me, except it doesn't make slightest bit of [u]sense[/u]. Video card setting that releases the framerate synchronization with screen refresh and allows the game to render more frames [i]somehow[/i] allows the game to play the voice overs to the end. Other people have had similar issues with the game and all with different solutions, but those other solutions actually made sense.***Latest version: 1.112fm (as of 2001-04-28?), 1.4 for French The 1.014f patch is the last that affected single-player.***[b]Minimum:[/b] * Windows 95 or 98 * 300 Mhz Pentium II CPU * 64 MB RAM * 4X CD-ROM Drive * 150 MB HD space [b]Recommended:[/b] * Athlon or Pentium III CPU * 128 MB RAM * 16 MB VRAM * 8X CD-ROM Drive * 750 MB HD space * EAX or A3D compliant audio card | labelimagesubject |
| Evil Islands | Fishtank Interactive;1C Company (Nival Interactive) | 2000 | Evil Islands is a perfectly balanced blend of mind-blowing hack-and-slash action with a need for cautious, crafty strategic planning. Moving freely between fabulously scenic and diverse game areas, players do battle in command of smaller, potent parties of heroes wielding both magical and fighting skills, in a truly interactive role-playing environment. The course of events unrolls with fatal speed to carry player away to dazzling adventure full of treacheries and guile snares. However, player's fate is in his or her own hands: every item gained on the plains and highlands of the realms of Evil can be taken to the hometown and reassembled to create unique enchanted armor and weapon or unparalleled magic spells. Everything in the game is true 3D. Unique smooth 3D objects change and morphing technology, procedural texturing, and texture preprocessing allows a whole bunch of new opportunities. See characters' shoulders grow right in the course of the game as their skills develop; admire soft shadows cast by trees and mountains; gape at wounds and grazes as they appear on characters' bodies and armor when they are hurt; and feel the easy grace of levitating creatures as their loose garments flutter in the wind. Each of the three islands in the game have unique architecture and art style incorporating elements of native art of the Southeastern and Northern Europe, South America and Ancient Egyptian. Muck and mire of the fens, glittering snowy mountains, sunlit grassland and dank, gloomy dungeons make an overwhelming abundance of detail, enhanced with the additional effects of mist, rain and smooth day/night change. The original, fully interactive electronic-symphonic ambient music enriched with ancient Scandinavian, Celtic and Irish tunes, is professionally recorded in MP3-files. More than 1000 environmental sounds and noises reflect game events, time of the day and year.

| Prototype | Activision (Radical Entertainment) | 2009 | Anyone experiencing crashes that can't be traced down to anything real should try playing the game by limiting it to 1 CPU core, on systems with 4 or more cores some may have luck with limiting it to less than half of the cores.your. ... Personally this occurred as spurious crashes (in nvd3dum.dll which supposedly indicates bad GPU driver) until it finally became rather consistent when trying to protect the bloodtox tank.

| Star Wars The Clone Wars: Republic Heroes | LucasArts (Krome Studios) | 2009 | Star Wars The Clone Wars: Republic Heroes lets Star Wars fans young and old live out the sweeping galactic adventures of the Clone Wars. For the first time ever, players can fight as their favourite Jedi and clone troopers from the pre-eminent animated television series - from familiar faces like Anakin Skywalker to new heroes like Clone Captain Rex. A brand-new storyline, which bridges the gap between season one and two, takes the player on a multi-faceted adventure to stop a mysterious techno assassin's destructive plot. Built around two-player cooperative action, the accessible controls and family-friendly gameplay bring Star Wars fans across generations together like never before to fight the evil Separatists and restore peace to the galaxy. Play as your favourite Jedi heroes including Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Ahsoka Tano, Mace Windu, and Kit Fisto.

Blast droids and unleash devastation with heavy weapons like rocket launchers and thermal detonators as Commander Cody, Captain Rex and all of your favourite clone troopers. Compete against a friend with in-level challenges for rewards and points to be spent to upgrade your character and unlock bonus items.***I don't think losing is possible in this game. Death only puts you out of combat for 5-10 seconds and you're back in action, auto regen also makes sure you have full health when entering new battles. Not even both characters dying seems to do anything significant. This is helpful though, as some actions are occasionally ridiculously difficult to pull off despite how simple they are. The game also capitalizes on context actions, so there isn't generally a wealth of actions available at all times.***[b]Playable characters:[/b] * Anakin Skywalker * Obi-Wan Kenobi * Ahsoka Tano * Mace Windu * Kit Fisto * Aayla Secura * Luminara Unduli * Plo Koon. * Captain Rex * Commander Cody * Commander Gree * Ponds * Commander Bly * Private Switch * Sergeant Boomer * Sergeant Kano***[b]Minimum:[/b] * Windows XP or Vista * 3 GHz Pentium IV or Athlon XP 3000+ CPU * 1 GB RAM (2 GB for Vista) * 256 MB VRAM * Radeon X1600 or GeForce 7300 GS GPU * 5.1 GB HD space***[b]cartoon[/b] - ties together the first and second season of [url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0458290/]The Clone Wars[/url] cartoon. | labelimagesubject |

| The Darkness II | 2K Games (Digital Extremes) | 2012 | Un FPS cuya mayor virtud es el elenco de poderes que puedes emplear para destrozar y eviscerar todo a tu paso. Aún mejor que la historia es el multijugador cooperativo, ya que los personajes son a su vez más especialistas y más limitados en sus poderes, lo que genera unas situaciones donde la sinergia es tan necesaria como sorprendentemente poderosa. 6 de 10***EAN-13: [code]5 026555 058902[/code] (UK Limited Edition)***Inspired by the popular comic book series produced by Top Cow Productions, Inc., The Darkness II is an intense first person shooter that delivers a twisted and gripping narrative of tragedy, modern crime drama, and supernatural horror.

| Risen 2: Dark Waters | Deep Silver (Piranha Bytes) | 2012 | Más enfocado en el combate que la primera entrega, pierde las virtudes de RPG que hacían lucir al primer juego y se vuelve mucho más lineal. 6 de 10***Set in Age of Sail style period with slavery of black tribals, pirates, muskets, voodoo magic, and so forth.***Set several years after the end of Risen, raging titans have devastated the world and pushed humanity to the brink of existence. Subsequently, monstrous creatures have risen from the watery depths of the sea and their attacks have brought all seafaring to a grinding halt. The hero, now a member of the Inquisition, is sent out to find out how to stop the chaos caused by these creatures from the deep. His quest begins with rumors that the pirates who frequent the southern islands are the only ones who know a way to get rid of the creatures once and for all and end their reign of terror. With an all-new pirate-based theme, Risen 2: Dark Waters aims to combine the most loved classic RPG gameplay mechanics of the original Risen with a fresh theme and setting on a huge variety of themed island locales. A third-person role-playing game set in a dark and gritty universe, Risen 2: Dark Waters maintains the most immersive features of the original Risen, with multiple approaches to every challenge allowing players to shape the game world based on their own decisions. These choices will serve to unlock new paths, features and additional skills for the character. Together with a highly interactive environment and a full day/night-cycle affecting countless aspects of the game world, Risen 2 will be set in the most immersive RPG game world so far. | labelimagesubject |
| Dark Souls | Namco Bandai (From Software) | 2012 | Drift bags and vagrants are one of the most obscure mechanics of the game. Drift bags are dropped items that are randomly transported to another player's world where they can be picked up, if they aren't picked up they get transported again. Once the drift bag has been transported enough many times, it turns into a vagrant, a rare enemy that spawns in no other way. Vagrants if undefeated will be transported to other players' worlds much like the drift bags.***The game's story is about the waning Age of Fire which the player can help continue or end, the waning of the age also is the cause of the undead curse when Gwyn kindled the First Flame with his essence. Letting the Age of Fire end would bring about Age of Dark (a.k.a. Age of Humanity), but considering how Dark Souls (a.k.a. human souls) are prone to bad things and generally the world's bleak presentation of humans, this would probably be about as bad thing as the previous age or worse. How bad humans and Dark Souls are or can be is especially shown in Artorias of the Abyss expansion (which is included in the Windows port of the game), though the information gained there can be somewhat misleading. The Abyss appeared because the pygmy went insane, not because it was natural thing to happen with Dark Souls, and the Abyss corrupted Artorias and the Oolacile. Many players seem to assume this is the natural progression for what happens with Dark Souls unfortunately.***With a moody and almost grimterror atmosphere and lore that would make even H.P.Lovecraft shiver a little, a simple but very customizable character development and a gameplay that is hard and "unfair", bringing back the "trial and error" progress system of classical arcade games, this game is simply a jewel of RPG-action goodness. Sadly, this version is a poorly done port from the console version, almost forcing to be played by handheld control (keyboard + mouse is horribly designed and also missing keybinding for some actions), and the camera feels clunky, slow and very dependant of player panning/autolock. 8 of 10***Dark Souls is an upcoming action role-playing game from the developers who brought you Demon’s Souls, FromSoftware. Dark Souls will have many familiar features: A dark fantasy universe, tense dungeon crawling, fearsome enemy encounters and unique online interactions. Dark Souls is a spiritual successor to Demon’s, not a sequel. Prepare for a new, despair-inducing world, with a vast, fully-explorable horizon and vertically-oriented landforms. Prepare for a new, mysterious story, centered around the King’s Crowns and the original, now dying flame at the center of the world. But most of all, prepare to die. You will face countless murderous traps, countless darkly grotesque monsters and several gargantuan, supremely powerful demons and dragons. You must learn from death to persist through this unforgiving world. And you aren’t alone. Dark Souls allows the spirits of other players to show up in your world, so you can learn from their deaths and they can learn from yours. New to Dark Souls is Beacon Fire, where you can share the experiences of your adventure with the spirits of other players. Around the Beacon Fire, you may find the only warmth and calm that exists in this dark world. Beware: There is no place in Dark Souls that is truly safe. With days of game play and an even more punishing difficulty level, Dark Souls will be the most deeply challenging game you play this year. Can you live through a million deaths and earn your legacy? [b]New Content[/b] Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition will include an untold chapter in the world of Lordran where the player must stop the spread of darkness at all costs by facing and defeating the Dark Knight Artorias. * New Bosses – Including Artorias of Abyss, Chimera of Tomb, and more * PVP Online Matchmaking System – Quick matching for co-op or PVP * New Areas – Including Oolacile Tomb, Old Ruins and more * New Enemies – Including Abyss Guard, Chained Prisoner and more * New NPCs – Including Hawkeye Gough and more * New Weapons and Armor – Equip some from the new bosses, enemies, and NPCs [b]Key features:[/b] * Extremely Deep, Dark & Difficult – Unforgiving in its punishment, yet rewarding for the determined – learn to strategize freely and conquer seemingly impossible challenges. * Fully Seamless World – Explore a completely integrated world of dark fantasy where dungeons are seamlessly intertwined, with great height. * Mastery Earns Progression – Contains 60 hours of gameplay, with nearly 100 uniquely despair‐inducing monsters & an incredibly nuanced weaponry & magic spells system. Player success depends on their eventual mastery of how and when to use the magic spells, choice of armor, the number of weapons, the types of weapons, and the moves attached to the weapons. * Network Play – Players may cross paths with one another, interacting with each other throughout the game even as each player plays their own game. * Flexible Character Development & Role Play – As the player progresses, they must carefully choose which of their character’s abilities to enhance as this will determine their progression style. * Community – See other real players and empathize with their journey, learn from seeing how others died, find and leave messages for your fellow players; helping them or leading them into death. * Symbolic of Life & Hope – The Beacon Fire is an important feature of Dark Souls for many reasons. Though in gameplay it serves as a recovery and re‐spawn point for players whose health gets low and is the one place in the dark world where players can find a fleeting moment of warmth and calm.***[media=youtube]WlVBVKAFFg4[/media] | labelimagesubject |
