Thief: The Dark Project	Eidos (Looking Glass Studios)	1998	[b]Working title: The Dark Project Original project title: Dark Camelot[/b]*[b]sentient artefact[/b] - The Eye [b]gameplayinn[/b] - first person stealth; possibly started the whole stealth game rage.*To call Thief a first-person shooter is to strip away what the game brought to the gaming scene. Set in a magical medieval city, the player is a thief, with the ability to become almost invisible in shadows. And here is where 'first-person sneaker' became it's own genre. Emphasizing strategy and stealth over raw killing ability, the game brought a new idea to first-person shooters. Sure, the sword and bow are necessary, but the blackjack, and avoiding combat, are even more effective. Well designed cut scenes, incredible graphics, unmatchable atmosphere, etc etc all meant that Thief was a superb game.
X-COM: Terror from the Deep	2K Games (Microprose Software)	1999	The war continues... X-COM: UFO Defense brought you to a galactic battlefield. X-COM: Terror from the Deep brings the alien terror into a totally new dimension. Seeking to take advantage of a weakened Earth, X-COM's deep space foes unexpectedly change strategy and launch a powerful second front against planet Earth. In the dark depths of vast oceans, long sleeping forces are awakened by reanimation signals sent out across the galactic silence by their interstellar brothers and sisters. Slowly but surely, an army of hibernating alien sea creatures awakens. Your combat now extends to the strange new worlds of the deep where superior alien technologies threaten the very survival of this planet - your planet - Earth.*[Spanish] Similar al primer X-COM, pero mucho mejor por la situación de acción total desde el principio, una dificultad endiablada (incluso más que el UFO Defense), una exigencia de toma de decisiones tan constante como cruel y la introducción del elemento agua y de misiones de defensa de civiles en el juego (añade una capa más a su inmensa complejidad) Es algo mejor que el UFO Defense. 6 de 10 [English, Google Translate] Similar to the first X-COM, but much better about the situation of mass action from the beginning, a devilish difficulty (even more than the UFO Defense), a requirement of decision making as constant as cruel and the introduction of the water element and civil defense missions in the game (adds one more layer to its immense complexity) It's better than the UFO Defense. 6 out of 10[b]2.5D[/b] - tactical missions and most of the game is done with raster graphics, but the globe in geoscape is rendered with flat polygons for land and textured polygons for water.This entry would still benefit from 2 screenshots, one from terror mission and another from underwater mission.*A very simple port of TFTD to Windows with no improvements or changes what-so-ever, just that it runs natively on Windows XP. Released only as part of [i]X-COM: Collector's Edition[/i] and for a time was available on Steam until they switched to running the old DOS version under DOSBox (around 2008-10-06).
X-COM: UFO Defense	Hasbro Interactive (Mythos Games)	1999	A very simple port of UFO Defense to Windows with no improvements or changes what-so-ever, just that it runs natively on Windows XP (and doesn't even do that very well). Released only as part of X-COM: Collector's Edition and for a time was available on Steam until they switched to running the old DOS version under DOSBox (around 2008-10-06).
Thief Gold	Eidos (Looking Glass Studios)	1999	Stalk your prey on the quest for stolen goods with your blackjack, sword, and an assortment of unique arrows. Steal for money and uncover the hidden agendas of your allies and enemies as you play through an unravelling story of deception and revenge. Survive in a world where shadows are your only ally, trust is not an option, and confrontation results in death! Key Features: * Pioneering stealth based gameplay brings a new dimension to first person action. * Thief™ Gold includes Thief™ The Dark Project (12 huge missions with multiple environments) and the Gold update (3 new campaign missions which deepen the plot and add five new types of enemies) * Advanced enemies can see, hear, speak, and sound alarms. * Your arsenal includes: blackjack, sword, fire arrows, water arrows, rope arrows and more
Thief II: The Metal Age	Eidos (Looking Glass Studios)	2000	This was the most disappointing part of the Thief trilogy for me. The emphasis on steampunk-ish environment and all those steamgolems took the feel of it away. Still, it has the same playability as the other Thief games except for the theme change so gameplay wise it has the same level of excellence with some minor improvement.***A sequel to Thief: The Dark Project. Without introducing any drastic advances in terms of gameplay, there were many small improvements, both graphically and in terms of level design, etc. Another fantastic offering.
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

Space Station 13	author	2003	Original source code seems to be lost. Though there's some evidence suggesting Goonstation is the original, mainly archive.org copies of the website linked in Byond's gamelistings for the main game. The various servers have custom splash art that name the server in some similar fashion to Space Station 13 but there's usually no server that runs by the original name. Since the server names are player host provided, such are also unusable as alternate titles for this game even if they pop up in screenshots and similar.**Undefined elements: Forcing other characters to wear something, or undressing them. * Randomly selected disaster for each "round", this includes randomly chosen player controlled antagonists. Multiple disasters can happen during same match. * Pseudo-randomly selected characters for players, though some are actually selectable due to them being "free"

Thief: Deadly Shadows	Eidos (Ion Storm)	2004	You are Garrett, the master thief. Rarely seen and never caught, Garrett is the best that ever was. Able to sneak past any guard, pick any lock, and break into the most ingeniously secured residences. Garrett steals from the wealthy and gives to himself, making his living in the dark and foreboding City. Here crime and corruption are commonplace, wealthy nobles prey on the poor and each other, and magic and machinery coexist uneasily. World weary and cynical, Garrett wants nothing more than to be left alone to ply his trade. But things never work out that way. * Cutting-edge Action Stealth Gameplay - Hide in the shadows, sneak past the guards, or ambush them from the darkness! * Huge Arsenal of Thieves' Tools - Including lock picks, a blackjack, arrows, wall climbing gloves, oil flasks, flash bombs, and a dagger. * An Entire City to Explore - Break into any building, mug nobles on the streets, spend your loot, and earn a reputation.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl	THQ;GSC World Publishing (GSC Game World)	2007	On April 26, 1986, the world's worst nuclear accident occurred: Reactor 4 of the Chernobyl power station exploded, releasing clouds of radioactive matter. Soviet authorities established a 30km 'Exclusion Zone' around this nuclear wasteland, but in 2006 a second explosion rocked the stricken reactor, obliterating all living things and causing the Zone's boundaries to ripple outwards. From this epicentre came waves of mutated creatures, deadly radiation and strange, anomalous energy. The Zone was cordoned off by the military who would shoot on sight anyone foolish enough to brave the horrors within. It is now 2012 - man has ventured further and further into the heart of the Zone driven by reports of strange 'artifacts' imbued with anomalous energy. Mercenaries and bounty hunters compete to recover these artifacts, which command extortionate prices on the black market. Others seek to find the truth behind the Zone, whilst some merely revel in the desolate lawlessness of the place. Whatever their motivation, over time these individuals - Scavengers, Trespassers, Adventurers, Loners, Killer, Explorers and Robbers - have become known as S.T.A.L.K.E.R.s. Awakening in the Zone, you are one such S.T.A.L.K.E.R., fighting for survival in this man-made Hell, whilst trying to discover the truth behind Chernobyl's sinister past and ominous future. * An immersive storyline seamlessly blended with a living, breathing, non-linear open-world environment governed by the revolutionary 'A-Life' system * Accurately modelled real-word buildings and locations from deep inside the Chernobyl exclusion Zone * Unique 'Survival FPS' gameplay: Combines action, stealth, survival and RPG elements to create an incomparable experience in the Zone * Enemy Threat Evaluation AI system: NPC characters react dynamically to environments and situations * Brutally realistic combat mechanics - weapons display accurate ballistic properties and can be modified with silencers and telescopic scopes * Dynamic day/night and weather system directly impacts gameplay * Advanced physics and dynamic lighting effects powered by the proprietary 'X-Ray Engine' * Intense multiplayer action, supporting up to 32 players [THQ]**[b]Minimum:[/b] Windows 2000 SP4 or XP SP2 * Pentium IV 2 GHz or Athlon XP 2200+ * 512 MB RAM * 128 MB VRAM (GeForce 5700 or Radeon 9600) * 10 GB free HD space [b]Recommended:[/b] * Core 2 Duo E6400 or Athlon 64 X2 4200+ * 1.5 GB RAM * 256 MB VRAM (GeForce 7900 or Radeon X1950) [b]Maximum:[/b] * Core2 Duo E6700 or AMD 64 X2 5200+ * 2 GB RAM * 512 MB VRAM (GeForce 8800 or Radeon X2800)*Working title: [i]S.

Six years passed since the time of the Second catastrophe to have made the April events of 1986 fade. The game is set in the Chernobyl exclusion zone which turned from a destiny-breaker place into a threat to all mankind. The Zone is reluctant to open up its mysteries and needs to be forced to do it. It is a rare hero who can reach the very heart of the Zone onto find out what danger awaits him there. A danger which, compared to marauders and enemy groupings, all monsters and anomalies, will seem a mere preparation to the meeting with something more fatal and threatening. But for now... get ready, hero. Collect artefacts and trade, grope your path and keep an eye on the rear, catch roentgens and fight – only make sure you survive! And then, perhaps, if you are persistent and truly lucky, you will find out why all this had fallen on you. KEY FEATURES Living-and-breathing world: virtual monsters and stalkers migrate around the Zone, similarly to the player they are preoccupied with day-to-day things – feeding, fighting, looking for prey, trading, sleeping, taking rest * Freedom of movement around the storyline, limited only by the player's will and abilities * The world of post-Soviet environment * Authentic objectives of the Chernobyl exclusion zone – the power engineers city of Pripyat, Chernobyl NPP, Chernobyl-2 complex of over-the-horizon detection and more * Atmosphere of eerie mystery and constant danger * Multiple game endings * System of weather effects and dynamic day & night shift * Photo-realistic graphics, adding to the game atmosphere immersion * Realistic ballistics, extensive arsenal of real weapon prototypes * Unique multiplayer modes implemented within the game entourage – artefacts collection, anomalies, radiation, weather effects, day & night change etc * Extensive map editor possibilities for multiplayer gaming [GSC Game World]

Besides that, the concepts and gameplay elements they've invented up are quite refreshing, but don't do much in the light of the bugs that prevent you from enjoying it. After crashing or otherwise exhibiting bugs, it is good idea to exit the game and delete Alone_Data_DFE folder and possibly drm_dyndata_.dll file in the system temp folder.

Lester Lloyd Goodman is dead and buried, and his railway empire lies in ruins. Cooper enjoys his bittersweet revenge, but only for a short while, because something else is wrong: Doc McCoy has disappeared. He was kidnapped and poisoned. The person behind the disappearance seems to be Goodman’s widow. She meets Cooper in a church in Santa Fe, where she makes him a diabolical offer: she will spare Doc’s life if Cooper will carry out a few assignments that will brand him as a criminal. Cooper agrees. Together with his friends he sets out to free Doc McCoy. But the more enmeshed they become in the crime, the clearer it becomes that much more is involved than the revenge of a young woman.

Assassin's Creed II	Ubisoft (Ubisoft Montreal)	2010	Con una gran variedad de misiones secundarias y mucha más exploración, parece mejor que el primer juego. Sin embargo, un Ezio con demasiados cachivaches (o demasiada munición según se mire) y con habilidades de combate demasiado poderosas (como poder bloquear con la hoja oculta) hacen que las misiones se tornen muy asequibles. Además el sigilo no prima tanto como en el primer juego. 7 de 10*Deluxe Edition adds 3 maps: Palazzo Medici, Santa Maria Dei Frari, and the Arsenal Shipyard. Ad speech mentions secret treasures and nothing else. Unknown if this means simply florins or actual equipment.Undefined game-play elements: blending in with the crowd, hiring prostitutes (or others?) to serve as cover (controllable crowd) or to distract those who'd wish you harm.**Continues Desmond Miles' story right where it ended in the first game, even if Altair is no longer his alter ego inside the Animus.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution	Square Enix (Eidos Montreal;GRIP Entertainment)	2011	GRIP Entertainment handled development of the boss battles which explains how they are so distinctively dissimilar with the rest of the game. Director's Cut primarily brings in New Game+, some gameplay reworks (bosses primarily), developer commentary, and integrates the Missing Link DLC into the main game.*[b]Juego base[/b] Una muy digna precuela del primer Deus Ex, con una fuerte carga moral en las elecciones que hacen que la palabra ROL signifique algo más que subir de nivel. 10 de 10 [b]Missing Link DLC[/b] Aunque la mision per se esta bastante lograda, no aporta gran cosa al juego mas alla del reto de usar pocos aumentos. 7 de 10You play Adam Jensen, a security specialist, handpicked to oversee the defense of one of America’s most experimental biotechnology firms.

Sniper Elite V2	Rebellion	2012	Un juego de acción que busca ser exigente sin llegar a ser un simulador (no es tan difícil como un ARMA), enfocado sobretodo en la acción a larga distancia y el control del mapa, consiste en manejar un francotirador a través de un Berlín asediado y salir vivo tras cumplir tus objetivos. Notable por las opciones de sigilo y trampeo, y con algunos modos de multijugador curiosos, destaca más allá del ordinario FPS. Además, el modo cámara siguiendo la bala es genial. 8 de 10

Dishonored	Bethesda Softworks (Arkane Studios)	2012	This game is incorrectly categorized as Steampunk in various places, please do not spread that error here. Dieselpunk is much more appropriate as everything is powered with whale oil.***Dishonored is an immersive first-person action game that casts you as a supernatural assassin driven by revenge. With Dishonored’s flexible combat system, creatively eliminate your targets as you combine the supernatural abilities, weapons and unusual gadgets at your disposal. Pursue your enemies under the cover of darkness or ruthlessly attack them head on with weapons drawn. The outcome of each mission plays out based on the choices you make.

You are the once-trusted bodyguard of the beloved Empress. Framed for her murder, you become an infamous assassin, known only by the disturbing mask that has become your calling card.
