Unreal	GT Interactive;Infogrames (Epic MegaGames;Digital Extremes)	1998	MSRP: $54.95 (U.S.)* [53]1998-04-30 original release as reported by Epic Games, published by GT Interactive. Validity uncertain despite the source. 1998-05-22 as reported on the official site at the time of release. 1999 Unreal Gold - re-release that bundled Return to Na Pali. 2000-09-22 - re-release by Infogrames 2001 another re-release by InfogramesAlthough Unreal was great back in the days it first came out, it hasn't fared well against the ravages of time. It's difficult to get running on modern Windows operating systems (with hardware 3D acceleration, software rendering works fine) and when you do, it's a terrible realization that it doesn't look as great as you remember. Something 3D games are perhaps only now managing to accomplish (if even now), a level of detail that can survive for ages like 2D graphics reached long ago. The difficulty setting is a bit curious as it adjusts the dodge-firing ratio, so the easiest difficulty may actually be the hardest since the enemies dodge a _lot_, while at hardest they practically just stand there and shoot at you a never ending stream of bullets/rockets/whatever. So, if you're poor shot, go for harder difficulties, if you're poor dodger, go for easy. The normal difficulty and those near it balance it out so it may be harder or easier depending on your skill and playstyle.*Great FP-Shooter, network-playing, Missiondisc available
Die by the Sword: Limb from Limb	Interplay (Treyarch Invention)	1998
Aliens versus Predator	Fox Interactive (Rebellion)	1999	[i]Aliens Versus Predator Classic 2000[/i] features the Colonial Marine, Alien and Predator Campaigns and the frenetic single-player Skirmish mode from the original title: Alien Versus Predator Gold Edition, which was released to massive acclaim in 2000. Alien Versus Predator Classic 2000 has been updated to run on modern PCs and laptops using DirectX 9.0c and includes support for Xbox 360 Controller for Windows, however, it does not currently support multi-player. The three most ferocious species in the universe in a bloodthirsty battle for the ultimate prize: survival. Take your pick: be a Colonial Marine, a Predator or an Alien. Fight through suspense-filled environments: from starships and space stations to colonial bases and eerie planetscapes. One wrong move turns you from hunter to prey. * Three campaigns: Colonial Marine, Alien and Predator * Includes all the levels from the original AvP Gold Edition plus the Millennium Expansion Pack * Skirmish mode against infinite Alien hordes * Bonus Episodes * Unique abilities, weapons and equipment for each species * Scale walls and elevator shafts as an ALIEN with frightening speed as you attack and devour your victims * Stalk your prey as the deadly PREDATOR using wrist blades, shoulder cannons and stealth mode * Lock and load as a COLONIAL MARINE using motion trackers, grenade launchers and flame-throwers to exterminate your foes * Supports Xbox 360 Controller for Windows * Music from the original soundtrack CD [Fox Interactive?]*[b]healing magic[/b] - Predator heals himself by expending his energy reserves and stabbing himself with the healing stabby things, can be repeated whenever the player feels like it and there's sufficient energy reserves left. [b]health draining[/b] - xenomorph's healing method vaguely belongs to this: by "eating" the heads of humans and predators, live victims give more health. [b]hypermobile foes[/b] - xenomorphs when playing against them. [b]steam[/b] - only for AvP ClassicLack of out-of-place music, impressive (at the time) ambient noises, slick darkness, the gritty and terrifying world and xenomorphs of the Alien franchise with the somewhat monstrous but oddly honorable cloaked hunters from Predator movies, AVP sets an experience that is action-packed and laden with horror. Stalk humans and predators alike as a lone xenomorph drone. Run in the darkness as a lone marine, hunted by both the swarming xenomorphs and the stealthy predators. Or stalk as a predator, nailing down humans one at a time and fighting the hordes of xenomorphs. Regardless of whom you play as, the feeling of anxiety, exhilaration and fear you felt with the original Alien movie and the sequel are pretty much there. The game actually feels almost Lovecraftian, but instead of psychological horror, the game gives you a relentless horde of aliens with nary a sufficient arsenal to counter them. Besides the foreboding darkness and the lonesomeness each character makes you feel, each character's gameplay is different in their own way. The [b]xenomorph[/b] drone outmaneuvers and stalks individual targets from the dark while avoiding most direct confrontations as he is quite fragile but can rend almost anything they come in close enough to pieces in less than a second. [b]Marine[/b] has it tough as the neverending swam of xenomorph drones forces them to progress onward, not giving him time for a breather, making even his impressively varied arsenal seem pitiful and even a single predator on his path can make things a lot more difficult. For [b]predator[/b], picking out humans while cloaked may seem simple, they rarely offer much of a challenge except in large numbers. The aliens however see through the predator's cloak and come swarming in on him like a nest of bees, making many of his more powerful weapons useless in close quarters. All three provide unique challenges and experience. It's amazing how AVP didn't become more popular than it is, it's a solid package of great gameplay with decent story, however it was unfortunately released shortly after Half-Life which was hyped by the press and many others even though it offered less in a sense, contributing to AVP's lower popularity. AVP was perhaps too hectic and not everyone is fan of horror and dark places where you feel insignificant and can't see your enemy properly. Instead of making you feel like a hero like HL did, AVP makes you feel like you survived. (Sorry for the ad-like speech at the start, but I couldn't think of anything better.)Seems like people have trouble running the game with anything newer than XP SP2, meaning anyone with XP SP3 or newer (like my XP64) are unlikely to get the game to work. Though the game is practically playable even on XP64, as long as you don't linger in the main menu for long and skip the cinematics as the game otherwise crashes in a minute or so.Comes on 2 CDs.[b]Gold Edition[/b] includes the "Millenium Expansion Pack". I couldn't find info if this was available for separate download for owners of regular AVP, but my memory says it was. There's 9 new multiplayer levels and few singleplayer levels for the marine. There's 2 new weapons, pistol and "skeeter", for the marine. Other weapons, mostly the explosive kind, were made more powerful, too. Gold Edition multiplayer is incompatible with the original AVP. There's different title screen and apparently some voice overs were replaced by Rebellion staff. The new AvP Classic is essentially the Gold Edition.[b]Minimum:[/b] Windows 95 or 98 * 200 MHz Pentium MMX CPU * 32 MB RAM * 640x480x16 display * 400 MB HD space [b]Recommended:[/b] * 400 MHz Pentium MMX CPU * 64 MB RAM * 4 MB VRAM * 640x480x16 display * 500 MB HD space * EAX*EAN-13: [code]3348542147805[/code] (BestSeller series, Gold Edition)For 1 to 8 players.Not to be mistaken with the new [game=#172171]AVP game[/game] (2010) from the same developer.Based on the 'Alien' and 'Predator' films, this highly rated shooter became famous for its intense fear factor, equal to if not better than other famously terrifying games: Thief, System Shock 2 and Half-Life in places. Despite its superb exploitation of human terror, however, it failed in terms of gameplay to match the top FPSs of the time (Half-Life had been released just five months before). But with three games in one, one for each race (Alien, Predator, Human [Marine]), few could be disappointed by AvP.**Official description: Featuring characters from the popular and terrifying film sagas Aliens and Predator, Aliens vs. Predator pits three of the deadliest species in the universe against each other in a bloodthirsty battle for the ultimate prize survival. Playing as a colonial marine, a Predator, or an Alien, players stalk their way through richly detailed, spine-tingling environments.

Metal Fatigue	Psygnosis;TalonSoft (Zono)	2000	[b]dismemberment[/b] - as the mechas fight each other, they may dislodge each others limbs which fall to the ground, these can be retrieved and re-installed back to your own mechs (your enemy may do this as well). this is also one method of gaining your enemy's technology. [b]gameplayinn[/b] - first (and only?) strategy game with dismemberment, and especially one where the removed parts actually still hold a use. Multi-layered (one underground, one ground level, and 1-2 air layers), and the pilots of the destroyed vehicles try to flee back to your base, and their survival is possibly of greater importance than that of the vehicles they pilot/drive. you also need to construct various mecha pieces individually and assemble each mecha equally individually at the mech bay.*Latest version: retailComes on 2 CDs.*[b]Minimum:[/b] Windows 95 or 98 * 200 MHz Pentium CPU * 32 MB RAM * 3D accelerator * 50 MB HD space

Severance - Blade of Darkness	Codemasters (Rebel Act)	2001	Among the first games, if not the first, to have fully dynamic/real-time shadows. Also among the first ones (not [i]the[/i] first one, mind) where you can chop off limbs from your enemies and they continue to live and fight you, until they bleed to death.

The Marine game was generally regarded as superior to either of the alien games, but two years on AvP2 still failed to match Half-Life as most people's favourite FPS.*Sequel to one of the most frightening games ever made, Aliens vs. Predator 2 takes you to Planet LV1201, where three diverse and bloodthirsty species battle for survival. The story-driven plot weaves together the fates of all three races, while the action is as heart stopping as the blockbuster films on which this game is based. Choose to play as Alien, Predator, or Marine as you use your physical prowess, killer instincts, or superior firepower to stay alive.

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.

Dead Island	Techland;Deep Silver (Techland)	2011	An open sandbox zombie survival game with crafting (talking about fresh ideas) that brings both brute gory fun and great atmosphere. Pros: -Simple crafting-upgrade system. -Stamina-reliant combat and movement. -IA (specially for beings that hunt down brains) -Drowning zombies. -Leveling up with RPG-like characters and trees (Borderlands anyone?) Cons: -No animals. -No use of extra weapons for repairing or carftfing. -No swimming. -Right seat wheel car. 6 of 10*Note that Dead Island does not strictly match Zombie Apocalypse genre as the zombie outbreak is limited to the island of Banoi with an excessive military quarantine making sure nothing goes in or out of there, thus the outbreak is sufficiently contained. However, none of the events in the game take place outside the containment area, giving it the overall appearance of zombie apocalypse without actually being it.Terror. Violence. Madness. Bedlam. A holiday paradise gone mad. A tropical island turns into total chaos after a mysterious zombie outbreak. Cut off from the rest of the world, the player’s only chance to survive is to fight to the death and find a way to escape from the island. Dead Island combines first-person action with a heavy focus on melee combat, character development and customization of a vast array of weapons. All of these gameplay features are presented in a dark story inspired by classic zombie movies with a gritty and engrossing campaign that can be played with up to four players in co-op mode. Set in an open world tropical island, hordes of different festering zombies await players around every corner while they embark on a variety of thrilling missions through the holiday resort. With firearms and ammunition being scarce the player must rely on utilizing found items as weapons for self-defense and fight off zombie hordes in intense melee combat. A diverse range of items can be collected and will later serve to transform the player’s ordinary makeshift weapons into serious instruments of destruction. In addition to satisfying even the most bloodthirsty action fan’s fantasy, Dead Island also features role-playing elements which allow the player to develop one of the game’s unique character classes according to their preferences, all the while learning new skills and fresh tactics during their journey through the perilous environments of the island. What’s more, anytime during a game up to four players can seamlessly join together and experience the intense combat and immersive story with cooperative gameplay. With the all-new Chrome Engine 5 powering Dead Island, the game will use the latest installment of Techland’s acclaimed proprietary game engine, allowing the player to experience the tropical island paradise in graphical splendor with diverse environments like lush forests and detailed city environments.

Kenshi	Lo-Fi Games	2018	[media=youtube]cXcuZV77UJY[/media]**Kenshi is a single player free-roaming Role Playing Game, with a Real-Time Strategy influence. Its squad-based, meaning you have a whole team of characters who can split up and go to different ends of the world. The game world is 400 square km of seamless terrain with a world map screen for fast-travel, Fallout style. You can play with one character, or with 50, and there are advantages to both. Combat is real-time and is based on swords and bows, action beat-em up style but with RPG stats influencing the outcome. No Magic. No fantasy cliches. Think of a combination of X-Com Apocalypse and Oblivion. Features Original take on the RTS-RPG hybrid genre. No "hero" characters with artificially stronger stats than everybody else- Every character and NPC you meet is potentially an equal, and has a name, a life. * You are not the chosen one. You're not great and powerful. You don't have more 'hitpoints' than everyone else. You are not the center of the universe, and you are not special. Unless you work for it. * Freeform gameplay in a seamless game world stretching over 400 square kilometers. The game will never seek to limit you or restrict your personal play style. * Variation and possibilities of gameplay. Be good, be evil, be a business man, be a thief, live in a town, live in the desert, join the army, fight the army, travel alone, travel in hordes, build a fortress, raze a city. * Purchase and upgrade your own buildings to use as safe fortified havens when things go bad, or use them to start up a business. * Carry your wounded squad mates to safety and get them all home alive. * Dynamic, ever changing world. Support or hinder whoever you wish, or keep to yourself, the world won't stop moving. This is not just a "game", you are living and surviving in a simulated world. * Absolutely no Level-scaling. The world does not level up along with you, and the shops don't change their inventory to only items matching your level. At the start of the game almost everyone will be stronger than you, and survival will always be a struggle. * Realistic medical system that affects gameplay. A character with a wounded leg will limp or crawl and slow the party down, wounded arms means you must use your sword one-handed or not at all. Lose an eye and it will affect your field of vision. Blood loss means you can pass out, and the blood will attract predators. Exhaustion affects performance and is increased by equipment weight, weather, blood loss and thirst. Severed limbs will need expensive robotic replacements. * Intelligent AI that allows for characters to reason and work towards long-term goals and desires. Squads work together and carry their wounded to safety. Characters can be setup to take care of micromanagement for you. * Aid or oppose the various factions in the world while striving for the strength and wealth necessary to simply survive in the harsh desert. * Independently developed with no design influences, or alterations dictated by men in gray suits who have never played a game before in their lives. * Original game world. There are no fantasy-knock-off cliches. No magic.
