Marathon 2: Durandal	Bungie Software	1996	In 2000 the Aleph One engine remake became available.***Released for free by Bungie at some point, as both datafiles (for running under Aleph One) and as the original CD-image (.iso file). The game installer is 16 bit executable, so you can't install it on 64 bit Windows as support for them was dropped. Game itself is 32 bit, so if you manage to install it, playing it won't be an issue on 64 bit system.
Diablo	Blizzard (Blizzard North)	1996	[b]Classes:[/b] * Warrior * Mage * Rogue (archer)***The game is still available as part of the Diablo Battlechest (--2007/09) and through Blizzard's webstore.
Shadow Warrior Classic	GT Interactive;Devolver Digital (3D Realms)	1997	Un juego de acción estilo DOOM pero muchísimo más difícil y frenético. Se nota que está hecho para aficionados a juegos similares, ya que los enemigos más comunes son realmente duros y puedes acceder a casi todo el arsenal en cuestión de minutos. Brilla por unos bosses que son adrenalina pura y por los aprietos y sorpresas continuos en los que te ponen los enemigos, una pena que los controles no sean siempre del todo fiables y el uso de objetos secundarios peque de artificioso. Es gratis, merece la pena probarlo. Eso sí, como consejo guarda cada poco y no sobreescribas el anterior salvado. 6 de 10
Shadow Warrior Classic Redux	GT Interactive;Devolver Digital (3D Realms)	1997	Aunque técnicamente no es más que un remake del original, esta versión presenta no sólo unos gráficos más pulidos sino una clarísima mejora sobre el manejo de cámara y sobretodo en los objetos secundarios, ahora mucho más fáciles de usar. Además incluye 2 expansiones con nuevos enemigos y la versión original del juego. Todo ello le hace ser ligeramente mejor al juego en el que está basado, ya que la mejora sobre el control del personaje facilita ir a lo loco y que funcione. 7 de 10
Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight	LucasArts	1997	[84]*Aunque apuntaba a ser mejor que el primer Dark Forces, con armamento variado, sable y poderes de la fuerza, y un control 3D completo, pierde todas sus virtudes por un diseño de niveles mediocre y unos enemigos predecibles y aburridísimos, ya por no hablar de los cortos y las dotes de interpretación de los actores. Y para rematar da fallos constantemente, tanto gráficos como de juego. Una pena, porque el multijugador deja claro lo entretenido que puede ser el juego con oponentes dignos. 4 de 10 [English WIP] While it aimed to be better than the first Dark Forces, with varied weaponry, lightsaber, force powers, and full 3D control, it loses all its virtues because of mediocre levels, predictable foes and boring design. Not to mention the shorts and the acting skills of the actors. And to top it gives failures constantly, both graphics and game. A pity, because the multiplayer makes it clear how entertaining the game can be with worthy opponents. 4 out of 10*2009-09-16 on Steam, by LucasArts (lang: eng)
Half-Life	Sierra On-Line (Valve)	1998	[100]* [12]* [84]*Half-Life Deathmatch: Source is a recreation of the first multiplayer game set in the Half-Life universe. Features all the classic weapons and most-played maps, now running on the Source engine. (Source standalone multiplayer/deathmatch mode)Winner of over 50 Game of the Year awards, Half-Life set new standards for action games when it was released in 1998. Half-Life: Source is a digitally remastered version of the critically acclaimed and best selling PC game, enhanced via Source technology to include physics simulation, enhanced effects, and more. (Source Remake Half-Life)Named Game of the Year by over 50 publications, Valve's debut title blends action and adventure with award-winning technology to create a frighteningly realistic world where players must think to survive. Also includes an exciting multiplayer mode that allows you to play against friends and enemies around the world. (GoldSrc Half-Life)* [53]*The gifted son of the love triangle between Wolf3, Doom and Quake. Having a Steam account without Half-Life is as absurd as a Spanish omelet without eggs or potatoes. Absolutely essential, recommended therapy against claustrophobia, arachnophobia, boredom and addiction to Wolverine clone shooters. It is recommended not to touch the microwave. Valve's greatest masterpiece to date. 10 out of 10There's two versions of this game (also of Blue Shift and Opposing Force) out, one uses the original GoldSrc engine, and another which was ported to the newer Source engine with very few (barely notable) changes to how the game appears or works.*[b]Minimum:[/b] Windows 95, 98 or NT4 * 133 MHz Pentium CPU * 24 MB RAM * Mouse * Keyboard***Listed as Game of the Year by nearly all (if not all) of the major gaming publications, this first person shooter is excellently done. From the gripping story, to the wonderfully scripted AI, this game will have even hard core gamers coming back for more. Many people complain about the late game "jumping torture" areas, but all in all this is a wonderfully designed game that raises the bar for all games to come. Also, it offers a graphics and AI engine that is hugely editable, allowing a vast number of Single Player and Multiplayer mods. To date, no game has matched its appeal or sales figures: and still it tops nearly every list of games.

Run away to Mexico if you have to, because Diablo 2 is too good. It's one of those games that keep you awake at night. It makes you think about gold and magic items while your working.

Max Payne	Take 2 Interactive;Gathering of Developers (Remedy Entertainment)	2001	Un shooter con un especial énfasis en el uso del entorno y sobretodo en el empleo de "tiempo bala" y de esquivas de todo tipo. Además tiene una historia muy interesante y con elementos, como las viñetas o las fases oníricas, que le vienen como anillo al dedo para crear esa atmósfera miserable de una tragedia noir. 8 de 10*Max Payne is a man with nothing to lose in the violent, cold urban night. A fugitive undercover cop framed for murder, and now hunted by cops and the mob. Max is a man with his back against the wall, fighting a battle he cannot hope to win. Prepare for a new breed of deep action game. Prepare for pain... Developed by Remedy Entertainment and produced by 3D Realms, Max Payne is a relentless story-driven game about a man on the edge, fighting for his justice while uncovering plot-twists and twisted thugs in the gritty bowels of New York during the century's worst blizzard. Max Payne is an original third-person 3D game based on the MAX-FX engine, and uses photo-digitized textures, resulting in one of the most realistic looking games ever seen.Max Payne is a cool game. Nice story line, good playing, especially when we have many mod to play. 5 Stars for Max Payne. [zbig13]**The first action game to approach Half-Life in terms of playability. Impressive originality, such as Bullet Time, made it a benchmark game for 2001, improving on Half-Life in many fields, yet still not fully attracting the support the former got.
Serious Sam: The Second Encounter	Gathering of Developers (CroTeam)	2002
Command & Conquer: Renegade	Electronic Arts (Westwood Pacific)	2002	Command & Conquer: Renegade is a first-person 3D shooter set in the Command & Conquer universe. Game progression is mission-driven; most missions have primary, secondary, and tertiary objectives. A few drive able vehicles are available. Though the gameplay does not deviate from traditional FPS formula, scripted events and some of the mission objectives share common themes and features with the real-time strategy games of the series. The multiplayer emulates RTS gameplay to a larger extent, putting players in control of either GDI or the Brotherhood forces, and requiring them to harvest tiberium in order to upgrade the armies.* [100]* [12]***Latest version: 1.037 (as of 2003-01-23)

Far Cry	Ubisoft (Crytek)	2004	[100]* [12]It came with graphics that are still not bad today, immense spaces and a difficulty and tactical complexity more typical of a Tom Clancy's than a traditional action game.

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.

Crysis Warhead	EA Partners (Crytek Studios - Budapest)	2008	Aunque su forma de juego de soldado futurista con poderes es similar al Crysis original, la falta total de suspense en pos de una acción continua desvirtúa un poco el juego, compensando ligeramente este problema con la inclusión del Crysis Wars (multijugador) 7 de 10*Tagline/Slogan: Adapt, Engage, Dominate!Officially the game is "Crysis Warhead" although all graphical representations of the title imply "Crysis: Warhead" to be correct. The lack of subtitle separation is somewhat unusual.Comes on 2 DVDs, with Warhead on the first and Crysis Wars (the multiplayer part) on the second. Both require separate installation.Catalog number: [code]EAE07706196[/code]*[b]Minimum:[/b] Windows XP SP2 or Vista * 2.8 GHz Pentium IV, 2 GHz Core 2 Duo, or Athlon 2800+ CPU * 1 GB RAM * 256 MB VRAM * GeForce 6800 GT or Radeon 9800 Pro GPU * 15 GB HD space**Adapt. Engage. Dominate! Take on the fight as the volatile Sergeant "Psycho" Sykes in a new parallel story taking place during the events of Crysis. Psycho's secret mission will take him to the other side of the island on a ruthless pursuit of a North Korean general hell-bent on obtaining powerful technology. With the versatile powers of his Nanosuit and an arsenal of fully customizable weapons & vehicles at his disposal, Sykes will do whatever it takes to carry out his top-secret objective. Action on the other side of the island is more intense, the battles are fierce, and the mission protocol is no longer "Adapt to Survive". As Sergeant Sykes, now you must adapt to dominate the battle. Twin SMG's blazing, seizing new vehicles, or going stealth, the action and the victory is on your terms. Pulse-racing new installment from 2007's PC Game of the Year: Play as Sergeant Sykes and experience a whole new side of the battle. A standard combat mission behind enemy lines becomes critical when you discover your enemies have captured something of vital importance to the ensuing war. It's down to you to retrieve the cargo, at any cost. More explosive and dynamic minute to minute game play: new customizable weapons, new vehicles, new photorealistic locations to explore, and a fully interactive war zone to dominate. * Enhanced human and alien AI: Intelligent enemies, bigger challenges, and all-new ally squad support. * Includes Crysis Wars , an expanded new multiplayer experience with new online modes and 21 maps including seven all-new maps to battle it out against other players. * Crysis Warhead is a standalone release and does not require ownership of Crysis to play.

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. The game is also one of the few games truly incompatible with 64 bit version of XP, so you're out of luck there (compatibility mode nor anything else will help you).*[spoiler=Show spoilers;Hide][b]Autopsy on fully clothed Alex[/b] : A Web of Intrigue video mentions that everything on Alex is actually part of his biomass, this also explains how he mimics people and their clothes repeatedly and discards them for his own form, and repeats this as often as he wants to.

Torchlight	Runic Games	2009	Un juego RPG estilo Diablo, fiel a las bases del subgénero. Como gran virtud veo el de poder vender el inventario mandando a la mascota y los hechizos de ranura, que permiten aumentar tus capacidades más allá de tu clase y convertir en un gran invocador a tu mascota. El sistema de drops también tiene su gracia. Buen juego. 6 de 10*[b]karmic creatures[/b] - some zombies release poisonous fumes in wide radius upon death, some blobs electrocute anyone hitting them. --- added in patch (2009-12-18) savecloud achievements achievements-steamWord of Ember blazed across the land, and the town of Torchlight flared to life. Ember is the essence of magic and the keystone of alchemy; it lures the restless with promises of power and riches. Miners burrowed deep beneath the dirt streets of Torchlight, discovering veins of the ore richer than any found in living memory- but they were not the first to covet these mines. The miners broke through into the buried past, a dangerous labyrinth of caverns and ruined civilizations, twisted creatures and the bones of those who came before. Evil bubbles up from the depths and threatens to overrun this town as it has so many others. The heart of a villain has infused the Ember, and his darkness seeps through the veins. To survive, the townspeople must break the cycle of destruction; they need a champion who can destroy the evil at its root. Removing the source of the rot may purify the Ember, but it is a long and perilous journey. The champion must battle through rock and fire, through lost cities and ancient tombs, into the palace of the villain himself. The adventure is set in the mining settlement of Torchlight, a boomtown founded on the discovery of rich veins of Ember – a rare and mysterious ore with the power to enchant or corrupt all that it contacts. This corruptive power may have dire consequences however, and players set out into the nearby mountains and depths below to discover the full extent of Ember’s influence on the civilizations that have come before. Players will choose from among three character classes, and venture from the safety of the town of Torchlight into randomly generated dungeon levels, with a huge variety of creepy monsters, endless variations of loot to find, and quests to complete. The endless randomization ensures a long-lived gameplay experience. [b]KEY FEATURES[/b] [b]Randomization[/b] – Our level layouts are randomly created, so each adventure is unique. Monsters, treasures, puzzles, and items are also different each time you embark on an adventure. Easy, approachable interface – Torchlight is designed to be easy to play right from the beginning. The intuitive interface gives players easy access to a rich and varied world. * [b]Retirement System[/b] – Once characters are sufficiently leveled up, they can "retire" and bestow specific benefits and perks to new characters. * [b]Pets[/b] – Players will choose a pet to accompany them. Pets can level up along with the player, and will help in battle, carry items, and perform a variety of helpful services. * [b]Character Classes[/b] – Players will create and customize a character and choose an animal companion. Through cosmetic choices, skill path decisions, and the treasures they acquire, each character will be custom-tailored and different. * [b]Fishing[/b] – Players can take a break from the high-energy pace of adventuring to visit one of the fishing holes and relax and see what they can catch. Fish have interesting benefits for the player and pet, and other rewards can also be discovered * [b]Editor[/b] – Runic Games is embracing our modding community by providing an editor so our players can create and design their own content.**[b]Minimum:[/b] Windows XP * 800 MHz CPU * 512 MB RAM * 64 MB VRAM * Radeon 7200, GeForce 2 or GMA 950 GPU * 400 MB HD space**[b]Classes:[/b] Vanquisher * Alchemist * Destroyer
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed	LucasArts;Aspyr Media (LucasArts;Aspyr Studios)	2009	Un hack and slash con un cierto enfoque más variado y plataformero, ya que aunque los combos existen y tu personaje no es precisamente débil, no consiste en machacar botones hasta llegar a los 3 dígitos. El uso del entorno y su destrucción es su fuerte, ya que generas cuantiosas pérdidas materiales allá por donde pasas a base de empujones y tirones. Si que se me hace algo raro lo del sable como un objeto contundente más, y estaría bien que se pudiese cambiar de guardia. 7 de 10*Only released as the Ultimate Sith Edition for Windows.[b]Minimum:[/b] Windows XP, Vista or 7 * 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo or Athlon X2 5200+ CPU * 2 GB RAM (and 1 GB swap file¹) * 256 MB VRAM * Radeon HD 2900 or GeForce 8600 GPU * 30 GB HD space [b]Recommended:[/b] * 2.8 GHz Core 2 Duo or Athlon X2 6000+ CPU * 512 MB VRAM * GeForce 9800 GT GPU ¹) game refuses to start without swap file
