Atlantis: The Lost Tales  Dreamcatcher Interactive (Cryo Interactive)1997The advanced city design of Atlantis shows that a fully-fledged society must've functioned there, and this adventure game brings it to life. Queen Rhea is the leader who is under threat, and young Seth is the character you control as he aims to save the day. How can he know who to trust, and who has their own agenda in this complex world?

The world of Atlantis is displayed in fully-rotational full-screen 3D comprising of millions of polygons and full lip-synching using a proprietary system. Listen out for sounds of danger - sometimes they are the first warning you get.

La mansión Croft como un gran puzzle es un loable detalle.

* 1 GB RAM
* Radeon X800 or Geforce 7600 GPU
* 6 GB HD space***Apparently the game has no Human faction despite the story taking place on Earth. Peculiarly enough the prelude/tutorial is with human troops.

The game is supposed to be the first part of a series, with the next game or games not set on earth and humans possibly gaining their own faction, signaling some form of profound leaps in their technological level, presumably from studying the salvaged wrecks of the three alien races or being aided by either Novus or the Masari. This remains to be seen, though.***Universe at War: Earth Assault is the next sci-fi real-time strategy game from Petroglyph, the award-winning studio comprised of team members that developed the original Command & Conquer and C&C: Red Alert. The latest strategy game from these RTS pioneers features unprecedented levels of customization and an epic storyline set on near-future Earth.

Powerful forces from across the universe have brought war to our planet. In Universe at War, you take command of several unique factions with awesome powers and spectacular units. Control massive-scale alien war machines that are fully customizable. With "Tactical Dynamics," Universe at War's on-the-fly customization system, you can dynamically swap out weaponry, rework your tech tree, and retrain units in the middle of combat to thwart your foe and seize the advantage.

Universe at War features large-scale environmental destruction in a persistent world - level a city and when you come back, the area will still be a smoking ruin. Here, though, the environments you fight for are close to home, as you wage war across familiar Earth cities and landmarks.

Universe at War also introduces numerous innovative new multiplayer features inspired by today's top MMOs and competitive online games, giving players achievements, rewards, and medals in a balanced environment with intelligent matchmaking.

Features:
* Unprecedented unit and faction customization give players the ability to change units and research in the middle of combat to overcome any challenge
* Unique multiplayer achievements that improve players' online avatars
* Unique multiplayer game modes
* Environmental destruction and manipulation in a persistent world
* Dual-layered gameplay featuring intense tactical battles and a strategic global mode where players manage resources, consolidate territories, and maneuver armies
* Real-world, modern-day environments
* Three unique factions with different play styles and abilities
* Special hero units with unique abilities
* Massive-scale units that dwarf conventional RTS units
* On-demand UI that doesn't clutter your view of the battle

Deadfall Adventures Nordic Games (The Farm 51)2013Un Indiana sin sombrero en un juego con elementos del Alan Wake y el Call of Juarez, y puzzles sospechosamente parecidos a las aventuras gráficas de Lucas Arts del susodicho arqueólogo.

Eso sí, el protagonista estaba mejor con la boca cerrada.

6 de 10***Deadfall Adventures is an action-driven first-person shooter, spiced up with elements from action-adventure games. Become an adventurer, hunt for treasures, explore unknown regions of the world and rescue the damsel in distress from the clutches of enemies, both earthly and not-so-earthly. Join James Lee Quatermain on his journey across the globe!

[b]The Story[/b]
The year is 1938. James Lee Quatermain is a man of many talents, yet holding on to money isn't one of them. James is an adventurer by trade, just like his legendary great-grandfather Allan Quatermain. And he knows how to squeeze money out of this famous name of his, while at the same time despising it. Despising those who believe his great-grandfather's tales of the supernatural and those who make fun of them alike.

Accordingly, Quatermain isn't all too keen on escorting Jennifer Goodwin, an US agent and former colleague of his, to an Egyptian temple structure in order to retrieve an ancient artifact - The Heart of Atlantis. Neither does he believe in the reputed invigorating qualities of this artifact, nor does he care the least that a division of the Ahnenerbe, the Nazi department specialized in the occult, is after The Heart as well.

But life has its ways of changing one's perspective. Quatermain soon finds himself part of a hunt across the globe - from the stormy deserts of Egypt to the icy depths of the Arctic, and all the way to the steaming jungles of Guatemala. In long forgotten temple structures the thrill of the chase awakens the true adventurer in Quatermain, as he and agent Goodwin strive to be one step ahead of the Nazis and the Russians, one step closer to obtaining the Heart of Atlantis. And deep in these temples, where age-old guardians awake from their eternal slumber, James soon learns that his great-grandfather's stories are not as crazy as he had always believed. For all things live forever, though at times they sleep and are forgotten...
