Schizm  LK Avalon (Detalion)2001 labelminimizeminimize
Return to Castle Wolfenstein  Activision (Gray Matter Interactive Studios;Nerve Software;id Software)2001One of those game that you play with the feeling of "I remember it as awesome cuz' nostalgia and such"
BUT NO, this game is still epic.

-A brutal and unforgiving AI, who knows to delude you and how to flank you, kick back grenades, use covers and retreats in a clever way, and even how to use the environment to kill you.

-Variety: from run and gun missions, to incredible monsters and bosses, stealth missions and defend point situations.

-Superb level design: maps with many routes to take and even some secrets.

-A very unique blend of classical and modern FPS (weaponry from old with aiming from contemporary times)

-Zombies nazis and nazi zombies (the first ones have less meat)

-And last, an objective-based multiplayer mode (not great, but kind of unique).

GET PSYCHED!

9 of 10***[media=youtube]sHdBHeDjAY0[/media]***World War II rages and nations fall. SS head Himmler has Hitler's full backing to twist science and the occult into an army capable of annihilating the Allies once and for all. Battling alone, you're on an intense mission to pierce the black heart of the Third Reich and stop Himmler -- or die trying. Fighting in advanced team-based multiplayer mode, you'll wage your own WWII in an all-out Axis vs. Allies contest for frontline domination.
Powered by the Quake III Arena engine, the Wolfenstein universe explodes with the kind of epic environments, A.I., firepower and cinematic effects that only a game created by true masters can deliver. The dark reich's closing in. The time to act is now. Evil prevails when good men do nothing.

[Steam Store]***Was re-released in 2004 as Platinum Edition that included the stand-alone multiplayer part [i]Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory[/i].***Seventh game in the Wolfenstein series.

Released in Canada and the USA. A Collector's Edition was published at the same time and came in a shiny numbered tin and included a patch and poster.

A Game of the Year package was published June 12, 2002. It included v1.33, 7 new multiplayer maps, The original [game=Wolfenstein 3D]Wolfenstein 3D[/game], a 'making of' movie, and some other behind the scenes extras such as concept art.

version 1.41 patch made available on December 4, 2002.

Uses the [game=Quake 3]Quake 3[/game] engine.

A heavily censored version was submitted for released in Germany. So much of the story was changed it was practically incoherent, even music was removed. Music! Despite the cuts, it was BPjS indexed. Technically, one can still acquire it by legal means, but practically speaking, such a classification in Germany is an effective ban.

The Punisher THQ (Volition)2005There's a fan made "uncensored" patch out there that makes the violence more graphic (more or added blood), removes a black&white effect during some of the more gory events and apparently makes the camera show things from more visible angle.

Not sure if this is only for US and/or UK version of the game as those are specifically mentioned. Other releases of the game may already have all this in.***[spoiler=Point rewards;Hide point reward list]Listed in order of gained points, from least to most.

1) Grenades (less than 100, [i]per grenade[/i] regardless of the number of kills)
2) Shooting (100 or less)
3) Interrogation/torture + kill with torture (200 for torture) - this is usually accidental as some torture methods are more difficult to control
4) Quick Kill (200 or less)
5) Melee weapons (250 or less, single use) - useful for cases where you have to use Quick Kill
6) Thrown dagger in Punisher Mode (255 with no point degradation)
7) Interrogation/torture + Quick kill (200 or less for torture 100 or less for quick kill)
8) Special kill or special torture on mob with info (usually 500 or more, one use per location)

Point gain dwindles as you repeat the same action (especially with the same weapon), so you may eventually need to switch down on this list, but the point gains reset for each section or level so it isn't so very permanent.

You gain no points for enemies killed by other enemies, so although you can use living shields, it isn't point efficient and poor accuracy from enemies can kill them too even if you aren't holding them as a shield.[/spoiler]
Points are used for upgrades, such as increased ammo capacity, some weapon attachments, and such. One of the most useful investments being the upgrade that gives you health from kills, however illogical that is.

Killing perps with torture is worth -20 points and obviously no rewards for successful interrogation or the subsequent Quick Kill.

Torturing wounded enemies is easier as they regain their composure much slower and feel more threatened by it, but as some methods actively harm them, this may result in their untimely death.

Successful interrogation restores a small portion of your health. This is also the only way for recovery besides the upgrade that gives you health from kills.***[b]Minimum:[/b]

Halo 2 Microsoft Game Studios (Bungie Studios)2007Falling Leaf Systems released a patch that removes the Windows Vista limitation. This is not a patch that modifies the game, it merely keeps the game from checking which Window version it is running on. It runs fine on Windows XP (with Directx 10 installed, also courtesy of FLS), the OS check is entirely an artificial ploy to encourage XP users to stick themselves with Vista.

007 Legends Activision (Eurocom)2012 labelimageminimize
Tomb Raider  Square Enix (Crystal Dynamics)2013Probablemente el mejor Tomb Raider jamás hecho, aunque abusa un poco de los QTM y se nota la ausencia de puzzles.
Aún así, la mezcla de acción-plataformas está mejor realizada que nunca.

[b]Giant humanoids[/b] - the Oni are not explained what they really are, whether they are actually Japanese demons ([url=/groups/info/ogres]ogres[/url] really) or just some of the samurai who suffer from gigantism.
[b]Undead[/b] - the Stormguard. Although nothing really suggests this except for that you can kill them by destroying their belt buckles, which presumably animate their dead bodies.
