Stubbs the Zombie	Aspyr Media (Wideload Games)	2005	If anyone is having trouble getting this to run on modern systems (e.g. XP64, Vista, or 7), you may have luck using older drivers (mainly ATi/AMD GPU users) or something that you can force extension limit on the game. For example, Nvidia GPU users can try Nvidia Inspector which allows to set extension limit (choose 0x00004844 for Stubbs in that particular app) which at least for me solved the problem completely. Some people have had luck with compatibility modes and such, but they made no difference for me.**[b]Minimum:[/b] Windows 2000 or XP * 1.2 GHz CPU * 256 MB RAM * 64 MB VRAM * 4 GB HD space [b]Recommended:[/b] * 2 GHz CPU * 512 MB RAM***2007-05-17 on Steam + demo
Shadowgrounds	Plan 1;Meridian4 (Frozenbyte)	2005	Juego de acción cenital. Aunque su historia y jugabilidad son bastante corrientes, su control y cámara marcan la diferencia por su perfecto manejo. Además el hecho de la batería limitada hace usarla cuando es debido (no sólo cuando hay oscuridad) un elemento clave, trayendo reminiscencias del primer Half-Life. De lo mejor de este tipo de juegos, aunque la secuela Shadowgrounds:Survivor es mejor. 6 de 10*[b]distorted vision[/b] - getting poisoned causes thisShadowgrounds breathes fresh air into the action genre with explosive combat sequences, an innovative weapon upgrade system, and an intriguing storyline. The adrenaline-pumping, top-down gameplay and audiovisual fireworks set the scene for this new action experience which also includes single computer (split keyboard or joystick) co-op play. UPGRADE THOSE WEAPONS! Use a devastating arsenal of high-tech weaponry to dispose of the alien threat. Each weapon has multiple upgrades that maximize the carnage.

WHAT LURKS IN THE SHADOWS? Shadowgrounds uses cutting-edge realistic lighting and glow technology to light up the battlefield and create detailed shadows producing an atmosphere of fear. But the lighting and the flashlight also affect some aliens' behavior – take advantage of that and you can turn the tide in the game of fear by using your flashlight effectively. DESTRUCTIBLE ENVIRONMENT! What good are weapons and special effects if you can't wreak havoc on the environment? Shadowgrounds lets you go all-out - glass shatters, ground shakes, trees fall, barrels explode and furniture blows to smithereens. You can use the environment to your advantage. THEY'RE BIG AND NASTY! Big, brutal monsters await you. Prepare to face many different bosses who will do anything to stop your journey. They're nasty, blood-thirsty beasts, but don't give in to fear - remember to use the environment and the lighting to your advantage!

Gibbage	Zombie Cow Studios (-)	2006	Note: Zombie Cow Studios was established about two years after this game was initially released, before that it was published by the author (not that there's any real difference, really).*For 1-2 players simultaneous*Gibbage is an incredibly simple concept. Each player is spawned from their Power Booth, with a perpetually-draining Power Level of 200. Your ultimate goal is to reduce your opponent’s Power Level to zero, thereby winning control of the arena. To do this, you run around collecting the randomly spawned Power Cubes (up to three at a time), and returning them to your Power Booth. Doing so increases your Power Level, and reduces your opponent’s. Naturally, as the Power Cubes are in short supply you’ll have to stop the other team getting there first. This is where the ‘gib’ part of Gibbage comes in; you’ll need your wits about you as you leap and swing about the arena trying to kill your opponent with well-timed bombs or your itchy trigger-finger. To help you get the edge over your opponent, there are several powerups available. These range from devastating new weapons to cheap bullet-time effects and Sonic the Hedgehog style speedy boots. Features: - Hi-Octane Single or Two-Player Hijinks! - 27 Unique Maps! - Loads of brilliant Power-ups, Special Moves and Weapons! - Team Setup lets you track your Stats! - Laws of Physics! - Unnecessary Levels of Gore! - Kick-Ass Music! - Acts of God! - Actual fun, like how games used to be! - Armies of the Undead and Monkeys touching themselves inappropriately!

Then don't worry, just like Leon in the Professional, we will not only give you a hand in how to play, but have introduced a new game play mode to make sure the Rookies amongst us can get in and play the game as we want. * Accidents happen: What better way to make sure that latest kill doesn't come back to haunt you than to make your hits look like an accident? The all new accident system allows you even more freedom in your choice of how take a target out--drop a priceless chandelier, use a remote bomb, create a nasty slip into a turning paddle wheel--all designed to terminate your targets without creating alarm or suspicion. * All-new glacier game engine: Since his last outing, 47 has found himself in an all new gaming engine. Now with a number of new moves and a revamped NPC and AI system, the world of being an assassin has never been more realistic. * Sick of getting caught? 47 now has the ability to hide bodies in boxes and enclosed spaces.***Product Description from [[link:http://www.amazon.com Amazon.com]]: Hitman: Blood Money brings back the world's greatest assassin, Agent 47.

DEFCON	Introversion Software	2006	Un juego de estrategia global de interfaz directa y sencilla, basada en un escenario tipo Segundo Gran Juego (AKA Guerra Fría) poniéndose en el peor escenario: una ofensiva nuclear.

Aunque ganar en este juego supone ser el menos perdedor, el que menos aniquilado resulta. Es un juego muy interesante, aunque algo repetitivo. P.S.: Me recuerda mucho a la película Juegos de Guerra. 6 de 10***Introversion Software presents its third title, DEFCON, a stunning online multiplayer simulation of global thermonuclear war.

Genesis Rising	DreamCatcher Interactive;Akella;Nordic Games (Metamorf Studios)	2007	[b]racism/speciesism[/b] - humans were nearly wiped out because of this and returned the favor. Now, humans are pretty much the sole (sentient) species in the whole [i]universe[/i], except in this little corner of it that still remains outside of their control - and where the game incidentally takes place. And it still continues.*Latest version: 1.044 (as of ?)[b]Recommended:[/b] Windows 2000, XP, XP64 or Vista * 2.5 GHz Pentium IV or Athlon CPU * 1 GB RAM * 256 MB VRAM * GeForce FX 6600 or Radeon X1600 GPU * 2.5 GB HD space**Three thousand years in the far distant future after what was believed to be the arrival of "The Savior", Mankind has carved a bloody path across the known Universe. Considering themselves a divine race and beyond reproach as a species, they view all alien races as inferior. Those that do not bend and acknowledge the infinite superiority of the Human genome are subsequently punished or simply destroyed. This dominion over almost all sentient life forms was only attainable through the creation and exploitation of the ‘organids' – genetically designed organic technology, easily adaptable to any enemy strategy through the introduction of seeds into the blank genetic makeup of these living machines. The governing body directing the initiative is "The Chair of Three" on which the representatives of three Human factions reside: The Military, the Church and the Judicature. Only one part of the Universe remains unconquered: The galaxy where the Universal Heart; an enigmatic entity that spawned all life and matter into the universe, is hidden. At least, that's what the Chair of Three believes. As Captain Iconah, you have been commissioned to uncover the location and purpose of the Heart. A battle-hardened fleet commander and a brilliant genetic designer, you must follow in your father's footsteps; quelling the alien insurgences, outsmarting pirate cohorts and uncovering the lost galaxy and the secrets hidden within. The fate of Humankind rests on the path you choose; take command and lead your fleet to a glorious destiny and ensure the survival of the species! FEATURES Genesis Rising is a space RTS that incorporates the best elements of role-playing games; immersing the player in a rich back story and drawing them into an epic crusade that they won't soon forget. * The non-linear single player campaign is comprised of over 30 branching missions that unfold as choices are made based on the actions you take. * Resource gathering, technology upgrades, and combat are refined, making Genesis Rising accessible to even the most novice RTS players. * A co-op mode in which two players can work together and control one fleet! * All of the 20+ gene-based organid ships in the game can be customized with over 50 different weapons and abilities; giving the player thousands of possible combinations to choose from when constructing a fleet. * As genes are inserted, ship models will morph in real-time to reflect the choices that you make! * Many non-player character alien races share the vast emptiness of space with Humankind. Make alliances with other races to secure their support and technology, or purge them completely and take whatever you want! * Expand your genetic capabilities through the invasion of enemy vessels, steal unsuspecting technology and maximize your gene bank's diversity. * Change genetic makeup on-the-fly and adjust your approach based on your enemy's fleet; recycling unused genes to meet any demand. * GameSpy Multiplayer featuring 12-player support and many multiplayer maps on which to flex your dominance! * The universal resource in the game is Blood Air, which in addition to genes, can be harvested from the lifeless carcasses of organid ships.

Loki	Focus Home Interactive;Crimson Cow (Cyanide)	2007	PL 2007-09-07 by Techland*securom7 - only in Chinese release"Loki" is a hack 'n' slash (action/RPG) and it is, by far, the studio's most ambitious project to date. However, it is not the first incursion into a fantasy world as the subtle blend of humour and haemoglobin in "Chaos League" met with popular success. A fantasy voyage through the great mythologies, Loki allows the player to take on the role of one of the 4 heroes of the game, each drawn from a different mythology : a mighty Norse fighter, a fierce Greek warrior, a powerful Egyptian magician or an Aztec shaman who masters the secrets of the spirit world. Whatever hero the player adopts, he must come to the aid of the gods he worships. He will come to realise that behind the chaos that is threatening his world lies Seth, the Egyptian god of darkness and evil, who has returned from the kingdom of the dead. The hero must therefore undertake an epic journey across the various epochs and myths. He will fight a multitude of monsters of all shapes and sizes, and even overthrow a few gods, on his way to preventing Seth establish his wicked reign. Main Features An epic adventure across 4 great mythologies – Aztec, Egyptian, Greek and Norse – allowing the player to live through many of the key episodes that mark these cultures (the siege of Troy, Ragnarok, ......) and setting him in the path of the most prominent figures within each episode (Achilles, Thor, Akhenaton.....) * Choose from 4 different heroes with radically different attributes and powers. Each hero has a vast array of spells and skills to help him through his quest. * More than 100 monsters of all shapes and sizes * Dare to take on mythological creatures that struck fear into the hearts of our ancestors (Fenrir the giant wolf, the Minotaur in his labyrinth, .......) * Innumerable story lines through random generation of decors and items, so that nobody lives the same experience and allowing the game to be played many times without the hero ever having the same set of weapons, armour or spells. * Weapons, being made of two parts (loosely "handle" + "cutting edge") and from different materials, can be customised at the village forge to change characteristics. Magic runes, found along the way, can multiply a weapon's power. * Live through the adventure with friends in cooperative multiplayer mode or fight in single combat against friend or foe in PVP mode on a battleground.

Scheduled for a summer 2007 release, Overlord will launch for PC and as a console exclusive for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft. Controlling a mysterious figure that has inherited the legacy of the evil, long-dead Overlord, the player emerges, near death, from the ruins of the old Overlord's Dark Tower. Only the player's actions will determine if they will rise to become the new all-powerful Overlord; it's all down to how much of a bad ass they want to be in order to succeed... evil or really evil! Played out with plenty of black humour and dark irony, the game will immerse players in twisted parodies of classic fantasy scenarios and characters. Overlord's key innovation is the introduction of an array of impish creatures - the Minions. They believe you are the old Overlord reborn and will use their unique skills to fetch, fight and die for you. Throughout the game players will actively control a horde of these gremlin-like critters and they'll follow your every instruction no matter how despotic or, for the Minions, life threatening it is.

On "extreme" difficulty this seems to drain regardless. [b]undefined healing[/b] - the T-ENG reserves are depleted to restore health automatically, no T-ENG means no healing. T-ENG is gained from destroyed Akrid and from the remains of any object that managed to explode, except for grenades, rockets and your piloted VS.**[b]Minimum:[/b] Windows XP * Pentium IV CPU w/ HTT * 512 MB RAM * 256 MB VRAM * GeForce 6600 GPU * 8 GB HD space [b]Recommended:[/b] * Windows Vista * Core 2 Duo CPU * 1 GB RAM (2 GB for Vista) * 512 MB VRAM * GeForce 8600 GPU * X360 controller**Gameplay For the most part it was fun, the levels were extremely small except for the vast expanses of nothing* in some places. Fighting medium sized Akrid was especially fun when you didn't have a VS warming your buttocks. The largest variety were just tedious, especially the giant worm that I just avoided after trying to kill it for the fourtieth time (really, are all console games (Lost Planet is console game first and foremost) about repeating the same boss battle for half the whole playing time?) The best parts of the game were usually outdoors, indoors being mostly dull corridors or large halls (cities?) where you're most of the time stomping around with your VS. You seem to play most of the time in VS indoors and as Wayne outdoors, which is kinda funny since anyone with half-a-mind would expect this to be the otherway around. Caves were a bit of an exception for this, but caves are caves. Fighting NEVEC was the part I hated most, and it was the least sensical of it all. Controls Since I can configure them as I see fit, I can't really give an opinion on how good they were or not. Everything I could think of had separate button for it and nothing else. The only gripe I have is that the control instructions for the VS (there's two special buttons for VS) had this huge X360 controller showing how to use the different things on it. The problem is, I was playing with keyboard and mouse, and I had to learn them by trial and error since I couldn't make connections between the xbox controller config and my keyboard and mouse configuration (What were they thinking? That everyone has innate understanding of X360 controllers? Or even have them? I'm playing the game on PC so it's far more likely I have a keyboard and mouse in front of me than that blasted thing between my thumbs). Everything worked out well in the end, since trial-and-error works well usually. There were some issues of the controls not being responsive, or there were several different actions made to happen from the same button (only for some VS, not when running around naked with Wayne, our protagonist), this was the most obvious in the final boss battle. Story During the cut-scenes, I constantly got this nagging feeling that I've missed part of the story somewhere, but I couldn't figure out where. So it was greatly disjointed and oddly hurried. Quality wise the beginning started nicely, but degraded seriously over time and it was not much of a help that you had the feeling that there's parts of the story missing. The characters weren't developed much, but I don't think that was necessary, and even their own background info was only to clarify why they were there in the first place and nudge the plot forward a bit in a bit awkward manner. Of course there was also the "must" romantic affair, too. Also, the characters were awfully stereotypical, but since the game was so short, there was little chance of them being much else. There was also this strange part that you were alone running through every single Akrid hive and NEVEC base to get to some distant location while your friends lazily used alternative route on their huge ass truck / mobile base, until you joined them at the destinaton. This was never even explained, and in some cases where there was some reason to do it, they could've hauled you closer to the final target before letting you off running and gunning everything in sight. And finally, the ending was disappointing, but sadly this is the norm for almost anything except books. Major gripes The game suffers from the usual console game features: ridiculously over-powered boss fights compared to everything else and all too linear story/gameplay. Thermal energy meter gave nothing but another reason to die suddenly when you just happen to use some energy based weapon too much or take too many whacks to your head (Wayne regenerates to full health in seconds by taking a large dose out of your energy reserves). Really, it's just a health reserve that keeps draining itself slowly and sometimes faster (I couldn't figure out what this was based on, some articles have said it's based on the temperature of the surroundings, but that should've meant it shouldn't drop at all or maybe even increase when around volcanic actiivity, lava flow or a smelting pool in some factory). The only thing I did notice to actually cause difference was the use of energy weapons and the special abilities of the VS. Honestly speaking, the game went downhill sometime around the middle of the game when you started fighting NEVEC as much or even more than the Akrid. Summary Overall, I'll give it 2 out of 5. The game's emphasis is on graphics, besides that it is horribly lacking.*Supported videocards: http://www.capcom.com/BBS/showthread.php?t=15043 Game manual: http://static.capcom.com/lostplanet/LostPlanet_PC_manual.pdf Firewall port configuration: UDP in/out: 3075, 27215 UDP out: 27000-27015, 27216 TCP out: 27030-27050ON A LOST PLANET* FIGHT FOR SURVIVAL, HUNT FOR REVENGE Your memory lies in pieces, like shattered glass...
