Evil Islands	Fishtank Interactive;1C Company (Nival Interactive)	2000	Evil Islands is a perfectly balanced blend of mind-blowing hack-and-slash action with a need for cautious, crafty strategic planning. 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. The course of events unrolls with fatal speed to carry player away to dazzling adventure full of treacheries and guile snares. However, player's fate is in his or her own hands: every item gained on the plains and highlands of the realms of Evil can be taken to the hometown and reassembled to create unique enchanted armor and weapon or unparalleled magic spells. Everything in the game is true 3D. Unique smooth 3D objects change and morphing technology, procedural texturing, and texture preprocessing allows a whole bunch of new opportunities. See characters' shoulders grow right in the course of the game as their skills develop; admire soft shadows cast by trees and mountains; gape at wounds and grazes as they appear on characters' bodies and armor when they are hurt; and feel the easy grace of levitating creatures as their loose garments flutter in the wind. Each of the three islands in the game have unique architecture and art style incorporating elements of native art of the Southeastern and Northern Europe, South America and Ancient Egyptian. Muck and mire of the fens, glittering snowy mountains, sunlit grassland and dank, gloomy dungeons make an overwhelming abundance of detail, enhanced with the additional effects of mist, rain and smooth day/night change. The original, fully interactive electronic-symphonic ambient music enriched with ancient Scandinavian, Celtic and Irish tunes, is professionally recorded in MP3-files. More than 1000 environmental sounds and noises reflect game events, time of the day and year.

Evil Islands: Lost in Astral	Nival Interactive (Matilda Entertainment)	2006
L.A. Noire	Rockstar Games (Team Bondi;Rockstar Leeds)	2011	Originally announced in 2004 with release date in 2007, earning its long time status as vaporware.*Una interesante aventura gráfica-juego de acción. Es una historia noir muy fílmica, y la tecnología de caras realistas es digna de ver en acción. En pocas palabras, es como jugar una película. Recuerda al Alan Wake (el cual es como jugar un libro de suspense) Y además puedes ser un LTA (Legal Theft Auto) 7 de 10*Although the game has some action segments (shooting, chasing, etc.), these are optional. The game will offer to skip them if you fail them a few times. Most of the game focuses on performing police investigator-like duties, finding evidence, examining evidence, interrogating witnesses and suspects, etc. This is also probably one of the few games that fit both action and adventure genres but isn't action-adventure.
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim	Bethesda Softworks (Bethesda Game Studios)	2011	Special Edition does little else than overhaul the graphics a little bit and bundle all the DLC, biggest change is moving from 32 bit to 64 bit but this does not change the game. Mod compatibility between the two versions is a bit vague.*Otro juegazo de rol por parte de Bethesda, con un mapa para explorar más inmenso que nunca. Sin embargo, el juego si que peca de elementos que lo alejan demasiado del rol, como un argumento demasiado lineal (a pesar de las ramificaciones, el final es idéntico), los personajes invencibles (algo insufrible y que desgraciadamente comparte con el Fallout 3) y sobre todo un sistema de leveo carente de especialización real (sólo es cuestión de estar tiempo para tener al mago-guerrero-asesino perfecto). Brilla por una comunidad mod increíble, y con una plataforma como Steam Workshop que le sienta como anillo al dedo. 8 de 10[b]EPIC FANTASY REBORN[/b] The next chapter in the highly anticipated Elder Scrolls saga arrives from the makers of the 2006 and 2008 Games of the Year, Bethesda Game Studios. Skyrim reimagines and revolutionizes the open-world fantasy epic, bringing to life a complete virtual world open for you to explore any way you choose. [b]LIVE ANOTHER LIFE, IN ANOTHER WORLD[/b] Play any type of character you can imagine, and do whatever you want; the legendary freedom of choice, storytelling, and adventure of The Elder Scrolls is realized like never before. [b]ALL NEW GRAPHICS AND GAMEPLAY ENGINE[/b] Skyrim’s new game engine brings to life a complete virtual world with rolling clouds, rugged mountains, bustling cities, lush fields, and ancient dungeons. [b]YOU ARE WHAT YOU PLAY[/b] Choose from hundreds of weapons, spells, and abilities. The new character system allows you to play any way you want and define yourself through your actions. [b]DRAGON RETURN[/b] Battle ancient dragons like you’ve never seen. As Dragonborn, learn their secrets and harness their power for yourself.EAN-13: [code]0093155144569[/code] EAN-13: [code]0093155141551[/code] (Nordic)Set about 200 years after the events of [game=#157662]Oblivion[/game] and the story is not directly related to any other Elder Scrolls games.**[media=youtube]JSRtYpNRoN0[/media]

RADical ROACH	KISS (Decaying Logic)	2013	Nice shooter/platforming game. Pros: -Hazards are diverse and sinergize very well. -Challenging. Cons: -Music is kind of repetitive. 7 of 10***RADical ROACH is a fast paced shoot em’ up, set minutes after nuclear hell falls from the sky engulfing all but a few tough little bugs. Play as the super little radiated roach with new found powers, get to safety before the army of fleas gets you. [Steam Store]

Interloper	Dutch Game Garden (Monogon Games)	2014	Interloper is a real-time strategy game with matches that only take 5 minutes. The result is an intense, fast-paced, micro-focused experience with surprising strategic depth. The world of Interloper is divided in 3 war-hungry tribes that battle for control of a newly discovered world. You fight by claiming domain for your tribe of allegiance in maze-like battlegrounds designed with spatial tactics in mind. The units and structures at your disposal were created to deliver ample opportunity for spatial reasoning and strategic advantage, allowing players to grow indefinitely. The game pits you against competitive online players or a clever AI of varying difficulty. Furthermore the game houses an extensive campaign and a collection of challenge levels to boost your skills and explore the full depth of Interloper. [Interloper Homepage]***A great minimalistic strategy game, with the core elements (resources, territory control, production and upgrades) stripped down to its base, making its gameplay so fast and engaging that resembles speed chess. 8 of 10

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare	Activision (Sledgehammer Games;Raven Software)	2014	In short: great graphics in a bland FPS format. 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.
