| Outwars | Microsoft (SingleTrac) | 1998 | [b]hang glider[/b] - not literally, the power armor at some point become fitted with foldable wings which are used like hang glider except for the fact that you also have the power armor's standard jetpack for additional propulsion.***DESCRIPTION As a Dreadnaut soldier, you will lead a team of space troopers against an alien insect force in a planet by planet battle to save the universe. You are the best we have. You are one mean space marine. Succeed in your mission objectives and we all survive. Fail...and you condemn us all. FEATURES Arsenal of Weapons - Arm your space troopers with a variety of lethal weaponry including heat-seeking swarm missiles, flechette cannons, plasma rifles, grenade launchers, and proximity mines before each level. 3D Interactive Audio - Outwars features a fully interactive soundtrack and sound system. All noises are rendered in 3D and are a major part of the gameplay -- enemy shrieks get louder and more alarming as you near them (even if they are behind a wall!), waterfall noises become louder, and ship noises go through Doppler warping as they scream past you in the full heat of battle. Additionally, the music itself is interactive and sets the tone for each mission. Singletrac has combined a rich redbook audio soundtrack with streaming interactive music that changes based on the game changes. You're searching: it's tense, suspended. You're fighting: it's a wild pounding battle song that will get your heart rate going and keep your fingers hitting those triggers faster, faster, faster. Rocket-Pack Dynamics - You'll experience dizzying heights and enormous depths while piloting a jet-pack armed with lethal firepower to take on the exo-skeleton adversaries. Large, diverse environments - Outwars includes a wide variety of diverse environments including a lush tropical planet, a desert mining colony, a forbidding ice planet and a planet sized hive. Additionally, the gameplay environments in Outwars are expansive; thus, your not just confined to the oppressive environments seen in most run-n-guns. This opens up the gameplay possibilities and makes the game less predicable. Multiple modes of motion - Players can choose from different method of motions including running, gliding and jet packing across vast environments. Unique gameplay strategy - You will face a variety of strategy options in Outwars, such as: Is there enough fuel to make it out of the deep, underground cavern? Would it be better to rush the alien insect force with the whole team, or send someone around to outflank them? Are the your adversaries running away because they were afraid or are they preparing an ambush? Mission-based levels - Outwars offers sophisticated objectives for each mission that vary from stealth under-cover work to frenetic combat action to team-assisted cooperative and research missions. This is not a standard "shoot everything and find the exit" game. Aggressive Adversaries - Deal with adversaries that will actively pursue you across vast landscapes and employ a variety of attacks in order to destroy you. Engaging Storyline - As you achieve your missions, you learn about the aliens that you are battling and their devious plans as your teammates work feverishly to help you foil them. Failure has one consequence: DOOM. Personalized characters - Character options allow you to choose to play as a man or a woman and outfit your teammates before third-person gameplay. Varied Multi-Player Play - OutWars supports modem, LAN and Internet play (via the Internet Gaming Zone) and includes cooperative, capture-the-flag, and death-match modes of play. Technology Support - MMX technology and Direct 3D acceleration are included for immersive play. [Microsoft] | labelimagesubject |
| Dungeon Siege | Microsoft (Gas Powered Games) | 2002 | You begin as a humble farmer, and as you travel through the world and gain new skills, you can gather a party of up to eight characters to aid you. Dungeon Siege impels the player into one over-the-top battle after the other as the storyline unfolds and a larger plot begins to reveal itself. A world of adventure where you can explore sprawling landscapes in a seamlessly unfolding story awaits...Your adventures take place in the Kingdom of Ehb is one of the youngest states bordering the Plain of Tears. Protected by a ring of superb fortifications and heir to the 10th Legion-arguably one of the best trained armies in the world, the Kingdom of Ehb has, so far, been shielded from the raids and invasions that have devastated many of its neighboring states on the Plain.Within Ehb's borders, there is an astonishing diversity in geography and cultures. Most inhabitants worship Azunai, an ancient god of the pre-Imperial Agallan Peaks. Dwarves and men live together in harmony and bow to the same king. Sorcerers are also more accepted than in other countries, thanks in large part to the efforts of Merik, Grand Mage and Warden of Shadows of the 10th Legion. And in the heart of the kingdom, a strange and often contrary race called the Droog is allowed a degree of autonomy, despite its sometimes-troublesome alliances.It is a country in search of an identity, caught between the glories of a fallen past and the potential for an even greater future. Despite several crises, Ehb has never fallen to an enemy. But at any time the course of events could turn down a bleaker path.***Latest version: 1.11.1462 (as of 2002-07) | labelimagesubject |

| Dungeon Siege II | Microsoft Game Studios (Gas Powered Games) | 2005 | Like the original, DS2 fails to be exciting in any manner, even though I'm usually fan of RPGS and games where creatures explode in a colorful shower of blood. The game is so very simple and unchallenging for the most part that I'm half-asleep when I try to play it and when I wake up, I'm seeing this teleport screen caused by death as I'm sent back to nearest village, from where I have to run back to where I died, collect my worn equipment that were conveniently left there and resume. There's little if any challenge besides some boss creatures, the rest of the mobs die from simplest touch in gory shower of gibs. Effectively it's a shmup in the guise of an RPG.***Latest version: 2.2 (as of 2005-10?)***Comes on 5 CDs***Minimum requirements: * Windows XP SP1 * 1.0 GHz CPU * 256 MB RAM * 4 GB free HD space * Radeon 7000 | labelimagesubject |

| Alone in the Dark | Atari;Akella (Eden Games;Hydravision Entertainment) | 2008 | Latest version: retail***THEY SAID CENTRAL PARK WAS FOR THE PEOPLE... THEY LIED. Central Park was not built as a haven for the people of New York, but for something else entirely. Now the truth can no longer be contained. In one apocalyptic night, Edward Carnby must fight the unimaginable to reveal the earth-shattering secret of Central Park. Intense story: Told in thrilling episodes of action, plot twists and cliff-hangers Improvise to survive: Use your imagination to create devastating new weapons Exhilarating gameplay: Blockbuster action, tense exploration, dangerous driving, vicious fights Pyromania: Play with fire but don't get burned Never Get Stuck: DVD-style chapter select lets everyone reach the game's climax NEW YORK WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN.

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. Removing these seems to at least temporarily fix any bugging, until Eden Games releases a patch for the issues.***EU 2008-06-20 NA 2008-06-24 RU 2008-06-?? by Akella (possibly only distribution) | labelimagesubject |

| 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 | labelimageminimize |

| Portal 2 | Valve;EA Partners (Valve) | 2011 | Probablemente el mejor juego de puzzle de la historia, superando en mucho a la ya de por sí soberbia primera entrega en todos los aspectos: jugabilidad, argumento y rejugabilidad infinita (con las pantallas de la Workshop). Cave Johnson aporta el punto final para el 10. Imprescindible, si el Portal hablase diría "I'm proud of you son" 10 de 10***Portal 2 draws from the award-winning formula of innovative gameplay, story, and music that earned the original Portal over 70 industry accolades and created a cult following. The single-player portion of Portal 2 introduces a cast of dynamic new characters, a host of fresh puzzle elements, and a much larger set of devious test chambers. Players will explore never-before-seen areas of the Aperture Science Labs and be reunited with GLaDOS, the occasionally murderous computer companion who guided them through the original game. The game’s two-player cooperative mode features its own entirely separate campaign with a unique story, test chambers, and two new player characters. This new mode forces players to reconsider everything they thought they knew about portals. Success will require them to not just act cooperatively, but to think cooperatively. Product Features * Extensive single player: Featuring next generation gameplay and a wildly-engrossing story. * Complete two-person co-op: Multiplayer game featuring its own dedicated story, characters, and gameplay. * Advanced physics: Allows for the creation of a whole new range of interesting challenges, producing a much larger but not harder game. * Original music. * Massive sequel: The original Portal was named 2007's Game of the Year by over 30 publications worldwide.

| Minecraft | Mojang | 2011 | Minecraft is a game about breaking and placing blocks. At first, people built structures to protect against nocturnal monsters, but as the game grew players worked together to create wonderful, imaginative things. It can also be about adventuring with friends or watching the sun rise over a blocky ocean. It’s pretty. Brave players battle terrible things in The Nether, which is more scary than pretty. You can also visit a land of mushrooms if it sounds more like your cup of tea.***[media=youtube]MmB9b5njVbA[/media]***Following concepts were removed with some versions: * healing items (1.8 - re-added with 1.9) * uncolored lighting (1.8) | labelimagesubject |
