Alan Wake's American Nightmare	Remedy Entertainment	2012	Enfocándose más en la acción que el título original, y con una ambientación más Pulp que Thriller, aunque narrativamente sea algo más pobre es mucho más entretenido y jugable que la primera entrega. Recomendable. Nota: cuidado con la Uzi, come la munición como si fuera ilimitada. 7 de 10
Allods Online	Nival Online;Gala Networks Europe (Astrum Nival)	2009	Personally I hate the fact that parties are only formed for mobs that require about 10 or so people to work together ("raid") to defeat. Besides that, parties don't seem to be formed and everyone is soloing. If parties were formed more readily (and actually needed by more than the support classes, such as the healer), I might consider this a good game, but woe, it does not. There's a high variety in the available classes, but the annoyingly non-existant need to work together like in some other MMOs just makes this a very boring single-player experience. Of course, I don't know about high level stuff since leveling up there on solo takes a looong time. Fact which has escaped me for quite some time, since partying would speed this up, but no-one wants to form parties.*Open beta starts on 2010-02-16.2009-10-01 Open Beta starts in Russia*[b]Minimum:[/b] Windows 2000 or XP * 1.5 GHz Pentium III CPU * 512 MB RAM * 64 MB VRAM * GeForce FX 5200 or Radeon 9600 GPU * 800x600 display * 4 GB HD space [b]Recommended:[/b] * 2 GHz Core 2 Duo or Athlon X2 * 1 GB RAM * 256 MB VRAM * GeForce 7600 or Radeon X1600 GPU * 1024x768 display

The standard edition comes on no less than 5 CDs, The DVD edition contains the entire game on 1 DVD. [b]Tags[/b] Uses the AD&D ruleset. is set in Forgotten realms where Baldur's Gate is a location. This game begins the Baldur's Gate series. Players can create and name Human, Elf, Dwarf, Half-Elf, Halfling, and Gnome characters of either gender of the Fighter, Mage, Thief, Cleric, Ranger, Druid, or Paladin classes. Some classes can engage in sorcery according to the AD&D ruleset. Players can also dual-class or multi-class according the AD&D ruleset. In a 1-player game, the player controls an entire party, in multiplayer games, each player can control one or more characters (or none at all). Players must cooperate, there is no competitive options in the game. There are multiple ways for a character to summon underlings for temporary help. Characters must sleep or suffer the effects of fatigued. Characters can also become poisoned, confused,charmed, enfeebled, paralyzed, turned to stone, encumbered, impaired, or drunk if the character does avoid situations that lead to such effects. The detail of the fantasy world this game takes place in seems to qualify it as belonging to the high fantasy genre. Characters can use bows, crossbows, slings, knives, swords, axes, bludgeons, pole arms, whips, or fight unarmed (non-lethal). A vast number of items can be aquired from stashes in the world, on defeated foes, or purchased from shops or individuals. The AI of the player's characters can be programmed in a scriptable language. But this is highly optional as adequate AIs are provided or the player can pause constantly to direct everybody with point-n-click commands; then unpause for as long as those commands are helpfully being executed. (Documentation for Scripting can be found on the 1st CD. Users have created AIs that can be found online and loaded into an existing game). Many NPC can be joined to the party and left to retrieve later. Some will leave if they are unhappy with the main characters actions. Evil people prefer the main character to do evil, good characters prefer good. Some NPC have their on purposes for joining and will stay of leave depending on the changing conditions matching their goals or not. The experience system follows the AD&D ruleset. This includes XP awarded for defeating enemies and for completing quests (which are documented on-the-fly in an automated journal that also records some plot information). The XP required to level up are preset according the the AD&D ruleset. When leveling up (at the players initiation, once the require XP are collected), skill points are awarded that can be distributed to a subset of skills available to the character's class (not all AD&D skills are included in this game). Several small village/towns can be visited and Baldur's Gate is a massive 10+ levels (not counting interiors that include multistory buildings) of civilization that approaches the definition of a city. Several large keeps make up whole levels (again not counting interiors that include multistory buildings). Several tall towers can be explored. Many multilevel mines and dungeons can or must be explored. Developers comments can be read on some tombstones a cemetery. [spoiler=View spoiler;Close]Bauldur's Gate has a sewer system as a location.[/spoiler]. Books, scrolls, and documents in the game offer extraneous details about the Forgotten Realms and Bauldur's Gate area, plot background, plot information, and character advancement training (rare). This game is available in a 5 CD set (original), 3 CD set, or on a single DVD to save on disc swapping. The game can be configured to run from the various CD or have them installed to hard drive per CD. But, upon running the game will require CD 1 to be in the drive for copy egest. [spoiler=plot similarities;Close]The plot shares some similarities to events in the Book of The Watchers (from the Book of Enoch, an apocryphal Jewish writing). In Baldur's Gate, an unearthly being came to the earthly realm and copulated with mortal females. The children of these unions have unusual and advanced traits and eventual fight with and kill each other.

Betrayer	Blackpowder Games	2014	[100]* [12]Un juego que no sé si llamar de sigilo o de terror, pero que tiene una buena dosis de ambas y encima logra ser esperpéntico a plena luz del día. Tiene una jugabilidad bastante minimalista y una estética que salta entre un mundo colorido y un mundo rojo y gris. Además la dosis de exploración y los combates casi siempre en clara desventaja lo convierten en un juego de lo más interesante. 8 de 10**Betrayer is a first person action adventure game that takes you to the New World at the turn of the 17th century. The year is 1604. You sailed from England expecting to join a struggling colony on the coast of Virginia. Instead, you find only ghosts and mysteries. What catastrophe blighted the land and drained it of color and life? Where are the settlers and tribes who lived here? Clue by clue, you must piece together the story of what befell this doomed settlement and find a way to set things right. You will be hunted by corrupted Conquistadors and ravening shadows as you explore an expansive wilderness in order to trace the brief, tragic history of the colony and search for survivors. Key Features Explore large, open environments teeming with danger and discovery. Chart your own course in search of clues and treasures. Switch between two distinct worlds featuring different enemies, obstacles, and threats. Wield early 17th century weaponry including muskets, bows, crossbows, and tomahawks. Upgrade your arsenal by purchasing or finding faster, deadlier, longer-ranged weapons. Charge headlong into battle with guns blazing or pick enemies off quietly. A novel, movement-based stealth system lets you hide in plain sight or use the wind to mask your footsteps. Equip ability-enhancing Charms to complement your play style, granting anything from extra health to faster movement to improved stealth. Play with the default visual style for maximum eeriness and tension or customize the color and contrast settings to suit your tastes.
BioShock	2K Games (2K Boston;2K Australia)	2007	Una ambientación y estética únicas en una especie ciudad sumergida art decó, que presenta una acción directa con el doble uso de armas y plásmidos y una historia que baila entre la nostalgia y lo grotesco. Además tiene una dosis de elección muy superior a un juego de acción al uso. 8 de 10*[b]flash[/b] - used for the map at least.2007-08-21 as boxed 2007-08-24 on SteamBoth the full game and the demo use SecuROM 7.x copy protection. SecuROM is used to enforce CD-in-drive, enforce an online activation, to damage the data on the CD to try to prevent coping it, and was for a much hated "installation limit" that prevented more than 3 install [i][b]attempts[/b][/i]. The geniuses at 2k game didn't want people installing the product on multiple PCs simultaneously and figured that limiting attempts would do the trick. Ingoring the fact that the CD-in-drive restriction already prevents multiple installations from running simultaneously. In reality, it caused the game to be uninstallable if the install process was abandon 3 times (due to errors, or failed requirements such as HD space, or just someone changing their mind). It also forbid reinstallation in cases of a crashed PC or transfer to new computer or in cases of system restore. Any finally, it was possible to successfully install 3 copies on 3 PCs simultaneously, this restriction failed in its purpose! After much complaint, 2k games announced, "Good news! As promised, all activation restrictions, including install limits, have been removed from BioShock PC as of today. You don't have to patch or install anything for this to go into effect for your copy of BioShock – it's already done! " [b]This is NOT and announcement of removal of SecuROM![/b] 2kgames later said "Our other methods of copy protection remain. You will still have to activate your copy, and you will still need to keep the disc in the drive. SecuROM has not been removed" So the cpremoved tag does not yet apply. [Zerothis][quote]No encounter ever plays out the same way twice. No two gamers will ever play BioShock the same way.[/quote] This is because the game has quite rapid respawn rate (enough rapid to be irritating and making the game into forced slugfest), causing encounters to happen even if not wanted and the creatures wander around aimlessly through the levels with apparently nothing to do. They sometimes huddle over corpses as if there was something interesting there, but there really isn't (I had scavenged all valuables from those corpses long ago). Though I have to admit that I [i]did[/i] play it on the hardest difficulty, so maybe that's (the rapid respawn) the only way they could think of how to make it more difficult. Didn't have much chance for stealth or alternative approaches when the guys were running everywhere. Although it was advertized that munitions were supposedly scarce, I never really ran out of them, actually I was almost constantly maxed, except in the particular weapon I had taken a liking of and after fighting swarms and swarms of suddenly script-spawning enemies or after fighting a Big Daddy (they really can take a beating). The only ways this game is better than Quake 4, Doom 3 or the like is that it's more free roaming (though there's very little use for it), has conversations and some sort of plot twists as well as the light RPG-ness in form of weapon and plasmid upgrades. The number of choices of approach are quite limited actually, either you shoot them or you.. well.. shoot them. Sneaking past them is usually impossible, or simply just ridiculously difficult opposed to just shooting them and the game has too many scripted sequences where you have to shoot them regardless of how you wanted to do it. The reliance on scripted sequences for variance is too old, but gives stronger story (scripted sequences are required to have a story, but the use of them outside it is not very good). Some of the things that happened were also very retro FPS-like, for example the one case where I picked up a new gun and swarms of new Mobs were spawned so I could "test it out". Sad little game in that regard, but can be fun if you ignore all that. On the confrontation with Ryan, I heard a rather poor explanation for it once (if I remember it correctly, they simply assumed Ryan was raving mad). My own interpretation of it, however, is different. [spoiler=Show;Hide]Ryan first demonstrates the protagonist's dilemma, he's been "programmed" to follow orders of others, with key words activating certain behaviour and in this case, simple "please" would force the protagonist to do as was asked. Protagonist ridiculously follows Ryan's brief orders ("turn around", "run", etc.) followed by "please", until finally Ryan gives him a golf club and tells the protagonist to "kill" (please), while the protagonist is beating him to death, Ryan solemnly repeats a motto: "Man chooses, slave obeys." which he had said earlier (IIRC). This is where some might think Ryan is insane, however, to me he seems idealistic or something that the protagonist is not a slave as he was made to be (which he also demonstrated with his earlier commands), but a free man, able to choose his own actions. Unfortunately, the protagonist is unable to break through the "programming" (mind control) and finally kills Ryan.[/spoiler]*BioShock is a shooter unlike any you've ever played, loaded with weapons and tactics never seen. You'll have a complete arsenal at your disposal from simple revolvers to grenade launchers and chemical throwers, but you'll also be forced to genetically modify your DNA to create an even more deadly weapon: you. Injectable plasmids give you super human powers: blast electrical currents into water to electrocute multiple enemies, or freeze them solid and obliterate them with the swing of a wrench. No encounter ever plays out the same, and no two gamers will play the game the same way. Biologically modify your body: send fire storming from your fingertips and unleash a swarm of killer hornets hatched from the veins in your arms. * Hack devices and systems, upgrade your weapons and craft new ammo variants. * Turn everything into a weapon: the environment, your body, fire and water, and even your worst enemies. * Explore an incredible and unique art deco world hidden deep under the ocean.

You are a cast-away in Rapture, an underwater Utopia torn apart by civil war. Caught between powerful forces, and hunted down by genetically modified "splicers" and deadly security systems, you have to come to grips with a deadly, mysterious world filled with powerful technology and fascinating characters. No encounter ever plays out the same, and no two gamers will play the game the same way. BioShock is loaded with some of greatest, most modifiable weapons to ever blast their way into a shooter. But guns alone won't be enough to defeat the devious AIs of Rapture. There are literally hundreds of other strategies players can use to take out his enemies.

No two gamers will ever play BioShock the same way. [2K Games]***In the middle of the north Atlantic, a lighthouse juts out of the water. Inside waits a rusted bathysphere, which takes you deep under the ocean to Rapture, a city sprawling along the sea floor. A man named Andrew Ryan, a former Soviet citizen, built the city in 1946, and the society was envisioned as the ultimate capitalistic and individualist paradise, with the elite achieving for themselves, rather than for the whole. Protected by a network of giant sea walls and consisting of a cluster of enormous skyscraper-shaped hive towers, Rapture was designed to be entirely self-supporting, with all of its electricity, food production, water purification and defense systems powered by volcanic vents at the bottom of the ocean. At one point Rapture's population numbered several thousand at its peak during the early 1960s, composed of those people Ryan viewed as the best examples of mankind. A large and tiered economy grew among the people, with different quality products catering to different levels of the society. The grand Art Deco architecture is at once futuristic and archaic, but as you step into Rapture, you find the city a shell of itself. The walls are crumbling and the ocean is seeping in. The hallways are littered with corpses, those who were once the best and brightest of the world above are now mutated and mad, roaming the corridors and waiting to ambush you at every turn.

Black Mesa	Crowbar Collective	2020	[12]*On the game being vaporware: Between 2009 and 2010 the developers ceased to publish notable new information until suddenly resurfacing and releasing part of the game. 2012-09-14 Black Mesa: Source was released, after which the project went on another hiatus and limited communication. 2020-03-06 The final game was released, no longer free and instead fully commercial project.Notable gameplay related changes from original: Energy leeches were removed * Rails no longer electrocute * Rocket test chamber tentacles can't be sneaked around when they're smashing on the same floor simply because of too wildly random swiveling (that is: distractions are much more mandatory) * On the rails no longer has player changing where the rails lead * Gauss gun ricochets off the walls instead of penetrating them * Scientists no longer heal Freeman * Alien grunts are no longer immune to weapons fire at armored parts of their body Other notable changes: * Certain level segments have been omitted or streamlined, making levels shorter. * Certain level segments have been made to make actual sense (or at least some, unlike the complete lack of seen in the original) * Weapons are received in different order and in somewhat different places than in the original*Coop was officially dropped on 2010-03-17, stated reason was technical difficulties.Black Mesa (formerly Black Mesa: Source) is a Half-Life 2 total conversion remaking VALVe Software's award-winning PC game, Half-Life. Utilizing the Source engine, Black Mesa will reintroduce the player as Doctor Gordon Freeman, along with the original cast of memorable characters and environments seen in Half-Life. Black Mesa was built and founded on the basis that Half-Life: Source was inadequate as the Source engine port of Half-Life, regardless of the intentions of VALVe Software. As such, Black Mesa was founded to fully reconstruct the Half-Life universe utilizing Source to its fullest potential in terms of art detail, level sizes and code features. This total conversion will not require Half-Life: Source to play - only a copy of any Source Engine game installed on Steam. [b]The Environment[/b] Black Mesa is set in and around the Black Mesa Research Facility as depicted in the original Half-Life game. The research facility is a former Cold War missile complex based in New Mexico, and features a diverse array of locations ranging from abandoned rocket testing silos to modern administrative offices, from underground physics laboratories to a full-scale hydroelectric dam. The game continues beyond, into an inter-dimensional border world known as Xen. What will set Black Mesa apart from other Source engine modifications in development is the attention to environment detail. Levels will be faithful to the original Half-Life concept and built from scratch, yet will feature higher-resolution textures, detailed world models, and a higher quality of audio ambience courtesy of the Source engines soundscape system. The end goal of such attention to detail is an immersive single-player environment, which will engross the player in a story that is yet to be matched by any other first-person shooter. [b]Features[/b] Black Mesa has many features, several of which are still in planning or being tested. Below are a few of the larger and more distinctive features of Black Mesa: Detailed and interactive environments based on the original Half-Life game, including reconstructed multiplayer maps; * Single-player, co-operative and deathmatch modes planned; * Original music score by Joel Nielsen; * Artificial intelligence that will dynamically think, react and interact with and about their environment; * Normal, specular and parallax mapping utilized on world surfaces and models where applicable; * A priority on gameplay and immersion factors such as ambience, logical functionality and interactivity. [b]Game Modes[/b] Black Mesa will feature three game modes designed to provide a high replayability factor. Single-player * Assuming the role of Dr. Gordon Freeman you will experience an immersive, story-driven mode of play. A world where around every corner a new threat or situation presents itself, provoking thought and interaction between you and your world. Relying on more than just combat to survive, your wits and intelligence will become strong allies in your fight for survival. Environments will be interactive, rich with detail, fully ambient and NPC characters will react to these environments and your actions therein. A world driven by story, locations conquered by wit, enemies matched with firepower. Welcome to Black Mesa. Run, think, shoot, live, Source. Co-operative * Black Mesa co-op will allow players to not only recruit the assistance of security guards and scientists, but also that of your friends! Share the single-player experience by battling through Black Mesa together. Players will be able to wage battles, travel corridors and emerge victorious over the enemies and escape the confines of the Black Mesa Research Facility. Deathmatch * The adrenaline pumping, bullet dodging, rockets-flying, big-red-button riddled deathmatch is back in classic Half-Life style, featuring graphically enhanced multiplayer maps and the full lineup of weapons. You'll find yourself having more fun blowing away your friends than, well, anything. [Black Mesa Team]***[media=youtube]G32_q_3es8E[/media] [spoiler= ; ][/spoiler]

Vanilla modern CoD (perks + red screen) with nothing new to offer, except for dashing/double jumping and some techie weapons and abilities (that drain a power bar from their use), and a "grenade launcher" that is only a visual quirk to the average classic grenade. Anyways, if you go for jumps and platforming try Titanfall (you can try it for free on Origin with Game Time, and its better in level design and vertical combat), and if you like futuristic gadgets and customization try Ghost Recon Phantoms (F2P crafted for real multiclass playing and more interesting and versatile special skills) At least displays many different multiplayer modes. Also includes two co-op modes: [b]Exo Defense:[/b] a co-op PvE mode, where the players fight waves of soldiers. [b]Exo Zombies:[/b] a "zombie mode", featuring a mixture between survival and area defense in the way that started Call of Duty: World at War. 4 of 10*Call of Duty®: Advanced Warfare, developed by Sledgehammer Games (co-developers of Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® 3), harnesses the first three-year, all next-gen development cycle in franchise history. Call of Duty®: Advanced Warfare envisions a powerful future, where both technology and tactics have evolved to usher in a new era of combat for the franchise. Delivering a stunning performance, Academy Award® winning actor Kevin Spacey stars as Jonathan Irons - one of the most powerful men in the world - shaping this chilling vision of the future of war.Tagline/Slogan: Power Changes Everything.**Raven Software handled development of the multiplayer component.

Chivalry: Medieval Warfare	Torn Banner Studios	2012	A medio caballo entre un juego de acción más arcade y juegos de melee medieval "serios", brilla con luz propia por su fácil manejo desde el primer minuto, un tutorial muy bien realizado y la variedad de armas que dispone ante el jugador. El Deadliest Warrior le añade tanto diversión como variedad al juego, al aumentar el número de equipamientos y tácticas distintas, y es ligeramente mejor que el juego original. Buen juego. 7/10.

Prepare yourself and Embrace The Darkness!* [100]* [12]***2016-03-24 Japan 2016-04-12 Worldwide There's no perceivable reason for the delayed worldwide release considering the non-Japanese version was release ready at the same time.

Moving freely between fabulously scenic and diverse game areas, players do battle in command of smaller, potent parties of heroes wielding both magical and fighting skills, in a truly interactive role-playing environment.

Gothic	Egmont Interactive;Xicat Interactive (Piranha Bytes)	2001	This nice German developed RPG adventure is set against the backdrop of a landscape savaged by war, the King of the human territories must find enough ore to forge weapons for his army to use in defence against the Orc Hordes. The King's mines are set in a large magical sphere and are worked by prisoners captured from across the kingdom. And it is into this sphere that you are thrown, charged with the task of delivering a letter – a letter that might just mark the turning point in the war against the Orcs. The Gothic world is constantly changing and evolving: events will occur that can alter the relationships between several groups of characters. NPCs are fully rounded with their own daily habits and relationships: they get up, work, go to bed, chat with each other and so on. More significantly, monsters cooperate with each other and are able to figure things out; they have individual perception. Some can be lured with food or noise, some will run away from bright light. Some can only hear or detect movement. Each character has the ability, with the correct training, to improve particular skills as the game progresses: training with the master of the sword, for example, will result in a character displaying noticeably more skilled swordsmanship. It is so much more satisfying to witness the effect of the skills you have learnt when they are visible in your character as oppose to a meaningless number rating, improving say, from 8 to 10. These 'optical' improvements are for the whole range of skills included in Gothic. The two different classes of magic (which are absolutely independent from each other) work along the same lines.* [12]* [53]
Gothic 2	JoWood Productions (Piranha Bytes)	2002	You have torn down the magical barrier and released the prisoners of the Mine Valley. Now the former criminals of the forests and mountains are causing trouble around the capital of Khorinis.

Gothic 2: The Night of the Raven	JoWooD Productions (Piranha Bytes)	2003	"When you're in need of something and don't know where to find it, go to Khorinis. There you can surely buy it." -- Saying (author unknown) The mine valley of Khorinis. The glorious days of the once productive mines in this small seaside region were long over. Surrounded by the impenetrable magical barrier, the slaves eked out their miserable existence in this apparently natural prison. One brave man managed to burst the bonds of imprisonment. Following his own call to freedom, he ventured deep into the subterranean temples. Willing to do whatever was necessary, he went out to banish Evil and destroy the magical barrier forever. Spurred by the hatred of men long-suppressed, the prisoners streamed trough the only pass to freedom. No one in Khorinis had been prepared for this. Too long had they lived under the deceptive notion of security granted by the apparently indestructible magical dome. The small militia garrison could not put up enough forces against the onrush. After numerous bloody clashes, many captives escaped and found safety in the woods or rugged mountains of the surrounding countryside. The steadily escalating number of raids in the vicinity of the town wall and the bandits' ever-increasing boldness seemed to paralyze the whole town. Angered by the militia's inability to protect their farms, some of the farmers formed an alliance with the refugees, no longer willing to pay allegiance to the king. Khorinis is facing an uncertain future. Due to the farmers' decreasing production, more and more of the food deliveries do not take place, and the stocks diminish continuously. The militia's might ends at the town gate. Outside the town wall, nobody is safe from the bandits' armed raids. There is war in Khorinis. A civil war. But there is something else that could not be foreseen. Evil is not dead, rearing its ugly head again. But this time it is set on delivering the deathblow to humanity, and no one can stop it. No one?*Adds one more area to the game as well as re-balances the gameplay otherwise. Pretty much like a huge patch.*English version was released as part of the Gothic 2 Gold combined re-release (2005-11-29), never sold in English separately.

Now it is time to travel to the realms of the mainland, where invading Orcs have enslaved the human kingdom. There are only a few free humans living in the nearly uninhabitable icy northlands of Nordmar and in the southern desert of Varrant, and a handful of rebels hiding in the mountainous forests of the Middle Realm. Players can choose to join the rebellion and stay true to the deposed human king, serve the Orcish usurpers in their quest to topple the last remaining human stronghold, or choose a path that serves their own ends.

From the gripping story, to the wonderfully scripted AI, this game will have even hard core gamers coming back for more. Many people complain about the late game "jumping torture" areas, but all in all this is a wonderfully designed game that raises the bar for all games to come. Also, it offers a graphics and AI engine that is hugely editable, allowing a vast number of Single Player and Multiplayer mods. To date, no game has matched its appeal or sales figures: and still it tops nearly every list of games.
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. [Zerothis]

Killing Floor 2	Tripwire Interactive	2016	Takes the formula of the first game and pumps it to a more gory and intense zombie limbfest. Pros: -Great enemy AI (for a zombie, don't expect advanced calculus) -Light vs. dark places and itchy placement of objects to hit with them in your escape. -Good and simple interface. -You can be the white englishcotish friend of Grandpa "Beetches" Freeman. Cons: -Its kind of repetitive, even for its variety of weapons. -Scarce vertical action situations. 6 of 10
