Vampire: The Masquerade – Redemption	Activision (Nihilistic Software)	2000	The protagonist joined a crusade for religious reasons even if this motive faded. He is in love with a Christian (Benedictine) nun (of which order?) who definitely values her religion and wants to keep her vows (which was not a given in the 12th century). This nun also values prayer. The protagonist also has religious vows that he clings to. Christian religion has a significant role in the story. Though the game ending greatly depends on the protagonist's conduct, this mechanic is has nothing to do with any real-world faith or religion, it is more of an constructed system of virtue unique to the game.* [100]* [12]* [84]*From official site: 'Before your fall, you led a crusade against evil. Now you've become one of the undead creatures you once battled-a Vampire. Inhabiting the World of Darkness, you must face a series of brutal confrontations with your nemesis, Vukodlak, a powerful vampire lord. Your unholy showdown begins in medieval Europe and rages on into the modern day, as you track a soulless enemy in an eternal struggle to destroy him. For this is the only hope of vengeance for your tortured immortality.'
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

New York Taxi	Hemming (Blimb;Team6 Game Studios)	2002	[company=Team6 Game Studios]Team6 Game Studios[/company] re-released the game on their own, through [company=Xing]Xing Interactive[/company], in late 2003. It was called [i]New York Taxi 2[/i] or [i]Taxi Racer New York 2[/i] and sold as a quasi-sequel. It had less features but was based on an updated version of the game engine. A legal defeat (most likely against [company=Blimb]Blimb Entertainment[/company], through which the original game was released) later forced Team6 to cease and desist any sales or promotion of the game.

Bestowers of Eternity	Wadjet Eye Games	2003	[[link:http://www.davelgil.com/wordpress/?page_id=15 Homepage]]
Crime Scene: Manhattan	Rondomedia (Blimb;Team6 Game Studios)	2003	Play the role of a female assassin (Gloria) from Hollywood, who is forced to flee to New York and lie low after her last job ended badly, barely avoiding arrest... and revenge. The next few days will be critical for her as she desperately searches for money and the kind of contacts she can count on and trust for help. With your guidance, she may succeed in earning enough money to obtain a new identity, and ultimately the chance to go back to sunny California! * Hi-octane racing action with six different cars, five different weapons and lots of pedestrians. * 20+ missions take place on a highly detailed 3D-model of Manhattan. * Unique game modes such as Mafiamode (take protection cash) and Stuntmode (get money and bonuses for stunts)
Manhattan Chase	Magnussoft (Team6 Game Studios)	2004	Manhattan Chase will let you choose between Angel, a brave and proud member of the NYPD, and Yasmin, a cold-hearted and sadistic criminal. Reveal the exciting story about these two completely different girls by finishing all episodes from both sides of the law! As if these action-packed story-episodes are not enough to guarantee a long lifetime of this game, there is also a multi-play mode. Team6 did their best to make this their most challenging game ever: The car-chases are more intense, agressive and addictive then showed in any other game ever before, and the 3rd person action makes sure there is plenty of variation in gameplay terms. In 3rd person the girls carry effective but 'ordinary' weapons such as a machinegun, grenadelauncher or sniper: But once inside one of the dozen available cars the mass-destruction weapons become available! Vulcan-cannons, Multi-missiles, homing rockets, mines and even airstrikes are yours to use or abuse!

The Punisher	THQ (Volition)	2005	There'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] Windows 98, 98SE, ME, 2000 or XP * 1 GHz Pentium III or Athlon XP CPU * 128 MB RAM * 64 MB VRAM * 2 GB HD space [b]Recommended:[/b] * 2 GHz Pentium IV CPU * 256 MB RAM * 128 MB VRAM * GeForce 4 or Radeon 8500 GPU
Fahrenheit	Atari (Quantic Dream)	2005	[100]* [12][b]censored[/b] - The US release was renamed to Indigo Prophecy to avoid confusion with Fahrenheit 9/11 movie as well as removing sex scenes and some other undefined "adult" content, this was done to get the game lower than Adults Only rating.**GUILT IS A CHILLING FEELING In the men's room of a diner a mysterious murder takes place.

Turning Point: Fall of Liberty	Codemasters (Spark Unlimited)	2008	"War becomes more personal than ever... through the eyes of a civilian" Turning Point™: Fall of Liberty sees World War II take a catastrophic turn as a superior Nazi force attacks New York and goes on to take over the United States. Delivering both wartime authenticity and a fresh perspective through an intense, action-driven storyline, Turning Point: Fall of Liberty makes war personal and relevant. Presenting this scenario as a powerful and realistically crafted alternate history, Turning Point: Fall of Liberty delivers an explosive First Person Shooter experience in a world where famous real-world locations appear startlingly different under Nazi occupation.

Use guerrilla tactics and the surroundings to overcome superior post-war Axis weaponry and fight the Occupation. You are Dan Carson, a New York construction worker.

An uneasy alliance between the Germans and Japanese persists. The Nazis now look to the United States – the last major prize in their pursuit of world domination. New York is hit first as an overwhelming Nazi army invades. Zeppelins are the battleships, the blimps are the landing craft and the rooftops of downtown Manhattan are the beaches.

Drug Wars	Paleo Entertainment	2009	In 3100 A.D., global warming has caused the sea level to rise and engulf the streets of Brooklyn. The land is gone, but society rebuilds the city on top of existing structures, connecting buildings through a network of sky bridges. As the upper class literally moves higher, law enforcement abandons the lower parts of the city, and its less-affluent inhabitants. To meet the upper city's demand for laborers, city leaders contract the Brooklyn Institute of Technology (B.I.T.) to clone a new working class. At the time, the B.I.T. Labs had made incredible advances in cloning; Neanderthals were chosen as the main focus of the research based on their physical resilience. The city's contract called for far more Neanderthal clones than were required, causing the excess and sub-standard Neo-Neanderthals to be discarded to the dregs of the city. The well established mob entity known as the Merchants of Brooklyn saw a lucrative opportunity here... use the bottom dwellers for high stakes fights to the death. It became the new sport of under-city kings. In MERCHANTS OF BROOKLYN, You take the role of an elite Neanderthal fighter with a taste for blood. Having had your arm unwillingly detached from your body courtesy of a chainsaw, your new prototype biomechanical arm transforms into different twisted and brutal weaponry to aid you in the slaughter. Your goal: escape from the under city and free your brethren to take over the upper utopian empire to do with as you please. FEATURES * Built using Crytek's CryEngine 2 game engine * Biomechanical Arm enhances weapons in unique ways * Destructible urban environments * Truly unique comic book vs. reality art style * Over-the-top dark humor and action * Fully interactive, immersive environment * Designed with multiplayer in mind [Paleo Entertainment]

Blur	Activision (Bizarre Creations)	2010	Blur is a new style of powered-up racing. The game drops players into heart-pumping racing action with 20 cars on a track all targeting the finish line and battling each other as they trade paint and collect intense power-ups, including the ability to blast other cars out of the way with huge bursts of energy, boost their speed, and more. Gamers can use offensive and defensive attacks as they battle for the lead and careen through real-world track locations ranging from L.A. and San Francisco to the streets of Hackney, UK and the treacherous roads of Barcelona, Spain. Beyond the action-packed racing filled with fast curves, sneaky alternate routes, hair-raising jumps and fully realized damage models that provide for spectacular crashes, Blur’s narrative is presented through Bizarre’s new community-based interface, reaching far beyond the game itself. This unique story-driving social network evolves dynamically as players compete in different races, make new friends, rivals and fans, and connect with other racers both in-game and in real life. Looking beyond Blur's single player story, gamers can engage in competitive and team-based multiplayer races with up to 20 players online, or on a single console via 4-player split-screen. Bizarre has also introduced Blur’s original social gaming experience - Custom Groups, where anyone can create unique multiplayer modes based on their favorite ways to play the game. These new modes are immediately shared through Blur’s social network, expanding the game in ways that are only limited by the gaming community’s creativity.

With over million tactical combinations to build your squad, your options in combat are nearly endless. * Dive into a beautifully rendered world, thanks to the team’s new and improved visual engine: * Experience alternative endings dependent upon your approach to enemy machines in the campaign.
