| Half-Life 2 | Vivendi Universal Games;Valve Corporation (Valve) | 2004 | Uno de los mejores juegos de todos los tiempos, la mejor comunidad modder del mundo y predecesor de juegos como el Portal 2 y el TF2. 9 de 10.***[code]하프라이프[/code] literally reads [code]hapeu raipeu[/code] which is presumably transliteration of English "half-life".***It's commonly pointed out by various people (also by the [url=http://hlcomic.com/index.php?date=2005-06-22]Concerned HL2 comic[/url]) that you can't sprint when your flashlight runs out of power and this doesn't make sense (to them). However, they fail to realize a simple fact: default movement mode is already [i]running[/i] (this is fairly obvious, which makes me wonder how people manage to miss it). The thing they think is running is literally [i]sprinting[/i] largely accomplished by the aid of the HEV suit (a type of utility power armor) Gordon is wearing. So the sprint expends the same suit energy your flashlight uses. However there is obvious discrepancy in the amount of energy used.***[b]Minimum:[/b] * Windows 2000 or XP * 1.2 GHz CPU * 256 MB RAM [b]Recommended:[/b] * 2.4 GHz CPU * 512 MB RAM***Half-Life2: Game of the Year Edition was also published in Israel. While the packaging is in English, the manual and game itself are in Hebrew Valve Software/Vivendi Universal Gameswon the 5th annual (2005) Game developers Choice Awards - Best Writing. Marc Laidlaw was designated in the nomination. From the official site: By taking the suspense, challenge and visceral charge of the original, and adding startling new realism and responsiveness, Half-Life 2 opens the door to a world where the player's presence affects everything around him, from the physical environment to the behaviors -- even the emotions -- of both friends and enemies. The player again picks up the crowbar of research scientist Gordon Freeman, who finds himself on an alien-infested Earth being picked to the bone, its resources depleted, its populace dwindling. Freeman is thrust into the unenviable role of rescuing the world from the wrong he unleashed back at Black Mesa. And a lot of people -- people he cares about -- are counting on him.

| Half-Life 2: Episode One | Sierra (Valve) | 2006 | Aunque es el más flojo de la pseudotetralogía de HL2, añade algunos retos interesantes y es imprescindible para jugar al genial Episodio 2. Algo breve pero muy interesante. 7 de 10***The story continues in [game=#157905]Episode Two[/game], and should later end with Episode Three when Valve manages to make it. Effectively this is the first part of the stand-alone expansion/sequel Half-Life 2 Episodic trilogy.***Half-Life 2: Episode One is the first in a series of new adventures created by Valve that extend the [game=Half-Life 2]Half-Life 2[/game] single player experience.

| Genesis Rising | DreamCatcher Interactive;Akella;Nordic Games (Metamorf Studios) | 2007 | [b]racism/speciesism[/b] - humans were nearly wiped out because of this and returned the favor. Now, humans are pretty much the sole (sentient) species in the whole [i]universe[/i], except in this little corner of it that still remains outside of their control - and where the game incidentally takes place. And it still continues.***Latest version: 1.044 (as of ?)***[b]Recommended:[/b] * Windows 2000, XP, XP64 or Vista * 2.5 GHz Pentium IV or Athlon CPU * 1 GB RAM * 256 MB VRAM * GeForce FX 6600 or Radeon X1600 GPU * 2.5 GB HD space***Three thousand years in the far distant future after what was believed to be the arrival of "The Savior", Mankind has carved a bloody path across the known Universe. Considering themselves a divine race and beyond reproach as a species, they view all alien races as inferior. Those that do not bend and acknowledge the infinite superiority of the Human genome are subsequently punished or simply destroyed. This dominion over almost all sentient life forms was only attainable through the creation and exploitation of the ‘organids' – genetically designed organic technology, easily adaptable to any enemy strategy through the introduction of seeds into the blank genetic makeup of these living machines. The governing body directing the initiative is "The Chair of Three" on which the representatives of three Human factions reside: The Military, the Church and the Judicature. Only one part of the Universe remains unconquered: The galaxy where the Universal Heart; an enigmatic entity that spawned all life and matter into the universe, is hidden. At least, that's what the Chair of Three believes. As Captain Iconah, you have been commissioned to uncover the location and purpose of the Heart. A battle-hardened fleet commander and a brilliant genetic designer, you must follow in your father's footsteps; quelling the alien insurgences, outsmarting pirate cohorts and uncovering the lost galaxy and the secrets hidden within. The fate of Humankind rests on the path you choose; take command and lead your fleet to a glorious destiny and ensure the survival of the species! FEATURES * Genesis Rising is a space RTS that incorporates the best elements of role-playing games; immersing the player in a rich back story and drawing them into an epic crusade that they won't soon forget. * The non-linear single player campaign is comprised of over 30 branching missions that unfold as choices are made based on the actions you take. * Resource gathering, technology upgrades, and combat are refined, making Genesis Rising accessible to even the most novice RTS players. * A co-op mode in which two players can work together and control one fleet! * All of the 20+ gene-based organid ships in the game can be customized with over 50 different weapons and abilities; giving the player thousands of possible combinations to choose from when constructing a fleet. * As genes are inserted, ship models will morph in real-time to reflect the choices that you make! * Many non-player character alien races share the vast emptiness of space with Humankind. Make alliances with other races to secure their support and technology, or purge them completely and take whatever you want! * Expand your genetic capabilities through the invasion of enemy vessels, steal unsuspecting technology and maximize your gene bank's diversity. * Change genetic makeup on-the-fly and adjust your approach based on your enemy's fleet; recycling unused genes to meet any demand. * GameSpy Multiplayer featuring 12-player support and many multiplayer maps on which to flex your dominance! * The universal resource in the game is Blood Air, which in addition to genes, can be harvested from the lifeless carcasses of organid ships.

| Half-Life 2: Episode Two | Sierra (Valve) | 2007 | Brutal comienzo, geniales enemigos, complicados asaltos de los Combine, mesmerizante argumento y, sobretodo, gnomos de jardín con elevadas ambiciones.

Genial en todos los aspectos. 9 de 10***[b]suicide bombers[/b] - some Combine zombies pull up a live grenade and run up to you.***Half-Life 2: Episode Two is the second in a trilogy of new games created by Valve that extends the award-winning and best-selling Half-Life adventure.

| Space Pirates and Zombies | MinMax Games | 2011 | Un juego de acción rápida y directa de naves, con toda una galaxia por explorar. Destacable es lo fácil y rápido que es crear tus propias naves y la interfaz sencilla y eficaz que luce. Lo malo del juego es que progresa muy lentamente. Es un buen juego, especialmente en la parte de exploración y de combate. 6 de 10***At its core, Space Pirates and Zombies is an action based, skill oriented, top down space combat game. It’s similar to the ones we knew and loved in years past, but now using full physics simulation and modern graphics for those oh so pretty explosions. But as you dig deeper, SPAZ becomes much more. Instead of flying a single ship, you are in charge of an ever growing and evolving fleet, unlocking the rich tactical elements of SPAZ, all accessed at the touch of a button. Issue orders, change ships, apply fleet AI settings, all on the fly. At any moment the battle can change, and the Tactics Panel gives you the tools to make the battle turn in your favor. As a layer on top of the action and tactics, we have a detailed technology and levelup system akin to what you would expect from an RPG. Learn to build new ships by destroying your enemies. Explore the galaxy to find components, use your hard earned research points to unlock their potential, and then customize every aspect of your new fleet. Finally, there is the universe in which all this strife and adventure takes place. SPAZ features a persistent randomly generated Galaxy populated with story elements, factions, enemies, missions, items, to provide you with a unique experience each time you play. While you are struggling to survive, uncover the secret of an ever expanding Zombie infestation that spreads by establishing its own real time multi-tiered ecosystem. Key features: * 33 ships to research, build, outfit and pilot. * 70 unique components to discover and customize your fleet’s performance. * Totally physics based combat system. * Fight Zombie infestations, battling a full zombie ecosystem comprising four stages of un-life. * Explore a persistent randomly generated galaxy containing hundreds of star systems. * Freedom to explore the galaxy and take on challenges at your own pace. * Aid, flee, or exploit the warring factions in each star system. * The unique event system lets the player change the balance of power in any star system * Carefully spend your hard earned research points on hundreds of upgrades across 15 categories. | labelimagesubject |
