| 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.

[Box blurb]***[b]missing images[/b] - title screen, more in-game screens [b]install OS limit[/b] - refuses installation on NT-based machines, citing DX6 limitations. This can be skipped by adding [code]-lgntforce[/code] command-line option to the setup program. [b]adv-xpdistr[/b] - there's really no experience, only "cyber modules" which are awarded at varying quantities upon completing tasks related to the main plot and occasionally found from the game world. These are used to buy upgrades to the protagonist's "cyber rig", each subsequent upgrade costing more cyber modules than the last (for skills the initial cost is also much higher than few of the following upgrades to them). [b]possessed[/b] / [b]parasites[/b] / [b]body horror[/b] - the host remains conscious quite far into the transformation process, often heard pleading to be killed while the parasite controlled body attacks the protagonist. Obviously there's no cure for them besides death (and even if there was, hardly any would wish to live as such horribly mutated creature). -- averted telekinesis - only used to take items from a distance, not to manipulate them or any other objects***Latest version: 2.3 (as of 1999-09)***"System Shock 2 is the sequel to [company=Looking Glass Studios]Looking Glass Studios[/company] / [company=Origin System]Origin System[/company] 1994 PC and Macintosh title, [game=#33139]System Shock[/game]. 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 |

Enlightenment ending is unknown though there has been some theories, but easiest of them to test is shooting the device you just set up at the end instead of your attacker.

[i]lamp charger[/i]: charges the lamp, higher charge produces brighter light which drains out with time, though does not completely drain the lamp even if the player doesn't charge it.***Set in the shattered subway of a post apocalyptic Moscow, Metro 2033 is a story of intensive underground survival where the fate of mankind rests in your hands.

| Homefront | THQ;Spike (Kaos Studios;Digital Extremes) | 2010 | The year is 2027. The world as we know it is unraveling after fifteen years of economic meltdown and widespread global conflict over dwindling natural resources. A once proud America has fallen, her infrastructure shattered and military in disarray. Crippled by a devastating EMP strike, the USA is powerless to resist the ever expanding occupation of a savage, nuclear armed Greater Korean Republic. Abandoned by her former allies, the United States is a bleak landscape of walled towns and abandoned suburbs. This is a police state where high school stadiums have become detention centers, and shopping malls shelter armored attack vehicles. A once-free people are now prisoners... or collaborators... or revolutionaries. Join the Resistance, stand united and fight for freedom against an overwhelming military force in Homefront’s gripping single player campaign penned by John Milius (Apocalypse Now, Red Dawn). Stand alongside a cast of memorable characters as an emotional plot unfolds in this terrifyingly plausible near-future world. Experience visceral, cinematic first-person shooter action as you fight your way across Occupied USA using guerrilla tactics, and commandeer military vehicles and advanced drone technology to defeat the enemy. Multiplayer brings epic warfare to the online arena as infantry, tanks, attack helicopters and combat drones battle across huge, open battlefields. A rich feature set offering layers of tactical depth combined with a game-changing innovation in the multiplayer space will set a new benchmark in online warfare. * [b]Discover a terrifyingly plausible near-future world[/b] – the familiar has become alien in this nightmare vision of Occupied USA * [b]Fight for a cause[/b] – join a cast of memorable characters as your resistance cell wages a guerrilla war against overwhelming military odds in the name of Freedom * [b]Witness the human cost of war[/b] – a gripping story from the pen of John Milius is told through immersive, interactive 1st person cut scenes * [b]Experience explosive FPS gameplay[/b] – battle through a dynamic mix of infantry and vehicle combat in a gripping single player campaign boasting intense, memorable set pieces * [b]Take the battle online[/b] – experience large scale multiplayer action like never before in epic infantry and vehicle warfare***[b]Minimum[/b] * Windows XP, Vista or 7 * 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo or 2.8 GHz Athlon X2 CPU * 2 GB RAM * 256 MB VRAM * GeForce 7900GS or Radeon 1900XT * 10 GB HD space [b]Recommended:[/b] * 2 GHz quad core CPU * GeForce 260 or Radeon 4860***Digital Extremes handled porting of the game, not actual development.***Korea has unified and conquered pretty much all of Earth, player wages a guerrilla war for "freedom". That's the plotline, they don't seem bother to elaborate why the Korean rule is bad, just that it must be opposed like in so many other cases of fiction.

| PAYDAY: The Heist | Sony Online Entertainment (OVERKILL Software) | 2011 | Un gran juego para emular el sueño americano de robar un banco. Payday 2 es mejor por su rejugabilidad y progreso, pero ambos son prácticamente idénticos en calidad de juego. 7 de 10***Has numerous superficial similarities with L4D outside of the obvious lack of zombie apocalypse and different goal. But unlike L4D this is commonly compared to, player has various objectives that can change on the fly, and the players are not required to be on constant move as much. However, like L4D the police are similar to the zombies in what they do and how soloers may have extreme trouble surviving.***PAYDAY™ The Heist is an action filled first person shooter that lets players take on the role of a hardened career criminal executing intense, dynamic heists in constant pursuit of the next "big score". Load out with an array of weaponry and equipment. Navigate six high-stake heists with three other live or A.I. Co-Op partners in crime. Time for a PAYDAY™ - Cash in Before you Cash Out! Key Features * Six High-Intensity Heists * Interactive 4-Player Co-Op play * Endless Replayability * Massive Character Progression Tree * Build Your Skills to Fit Your Preferred Form of Violence * Hostage Trading * More DLC: Additional heists, weapons and equipment means PAYDAY™—a digitally distributed AAA quality title for less than half the price of a retail game—is total OVERKILL | labelimagesubject |
