* 5.1 soundcard***Far Cry 2, the next-generation first-person shooter from Ubisoft, will take you deep into the most beautiful but also most hostile environments in the world: Africa! More than just a visual and technological achievement, Far Cry 2, the true sequel to the award-winning PC game, will provide you with an unprecedented gaming experience.

Caught between two rival factions in war-torn Africa, you are sent to take out "The Jackal", a mysterious character who has rekindled the conflict between the warlords, jeopardizing thousands of lives. In order to fulfil your mission you will have to play the factions against each other, identify and exploit their weaknesses, and neutralise their superior numbers and firepower with surprise, subversion, cunning and, of course, brute force.

OPEN WORLD

The extensive artistic research combined with the next-gen engine will allow you to explore over 50Km2 of seamlessly rendered African landscape. No game has ever provided such freedom of movement!

DUNIA ENGINE

The Dunia Engine was built specifically for Far Cry 2 by the award-winning Ubisoft Montréal development team. It delivers the most realistic destructible environments, amazing special effects such as dynamic fire propagation and storm effects, real-time night-and-day cycle, dynamic music system, non-scripted enemy A.I. and so much more...

REAL-TIME IMMERSION

Real-time story telling, systemic auto-healing, minimal in-game interface are just few of the features that will make you feel the tension of being alone against barbarous warlords that threaten thousands of innocent lives.

WEAPONS OF CHOICE

Choose from a wide range of weapons to make your way to your primary target. Meet the fight head-on with your machine-gun, go berserk with your machete or make stealth kills as a Sniper. If you feel that the atmosphere is not warm enough, light up your flamethrower and let your enemies and everything around them feel the heat.

VEHICLES

Fly, Drive, Run, slide and hover over the huge open world with your glider, trucks, cars, boats and much more.

Even telling how to identify your allies positively (and thus who isn't your ally) by insignia, uniform appearance, etc. would've been extremely useful. Despite this, it's a very impressive simulation shooter though not very enjoyable online to me due to having no way of telling friend and enemy apart.***Latest version: 1.05 (as of 2009-12-22)***Officially not called nor published under any form of "Armed Assault" title, only ArmA.

Mafia II  2K Games (2K Czech)2010Un juego que, aunque con una jugabilidad "sanbox" al estilo GTA, presenta una argumento más serio y sobretodo una recreación tan bonita como inmersiva de los mediados del S.XX en EEUU.

In short: third person action/driving sandbox in the 40s-50s.

Pros:
Great atmosphere and details, especially in cars.
Great jazz and rock music
Collectables that are worth the time to search them

Cons:
The action is too often limited for a videogame, too filmic.
Very limited choices in the story

HAWX 2  Ubisoft (Ubisoft Romania)2010 labelminimizeminimize
L.A. Noire  Rockstar Games (Team Bondi;Rockstar Leeds)2011Originally 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.

Saints Row: The Third  THQ (Volition)2011Uno de los sandbox más divertidos y absurdos que existen.
Además de un multijugador para morirse de risa.
Gangsta en estado puro.

8 de 10***Years after taking Stilwater for their own, the Third Street Saints have evolved from street gang to household brand name, with Saints sneakers, Saints energy drinks and Johnny Gat bobble head dolls all available at a store near you.

The Saints are kings of Stilwater, but their celebrity status has not gone unnoticed. The Syndicate, a legendary criminal fraternity with pawns in play all over the globe, has turned its eye on the Saints and demands tribute. Refusing to kneel to the Syndicate, you take the fight to Steelport, a once-proud metropolis reduced to a struggling city of sin under Syndicate control.

Take a tank skydiving, call in a satellite-targeted airstrike on a Mexican wrestling gang, and defend yourself against a highly-trained military force using only a sex toy in the most out- landish gameplay scenarios ever seen, igniting a city-wide war that will set Steelport on fire. Strap it on.

Alan Wake Remedy Entertainment2012Muy buena atmósfera, con una elaborada historia y un sistema de combate innovador aunque algo repetitivo. Es un survival horror peculiar.

Como jugar a un libro de Stephen King.

8 de 10***When the wife of the best-selling writer Alan Wake disappears on their vacation, his search turns up pages from a thriller he doesn’t even remember writing. A Dark Presence stalks the small town of Bright Falls, pushing Wake to the brink of sanity in his fight to unravel the mystery and save his love.

Presented in the style of a TV series, Alan Wake features the trademark Remedy storytelling and pulse-pounding action sequences. As players dive deeper and deeper into the mystery, they’ll face overwhelming odds, plot twists, and cliffhangers. It’s only by mastering the Fight With Light combat mechanic that they can stay one step ahead of the darkness that spreads across Bright Falls.

With the body of an action game and the mind of a psychological thriller, Alan Wake’s intense atmosphere, deep and multilayered story, and exceptionally tense combat sequences provide players with an entertaining and original gaming experience.

[b]Enhanced for the PC[/b]
* Includes Alan Wake Special Episodes "The Signal" and "The Writer"
* Experience Alan Wake’s Pacific Northwest in higher resolutions and higher fidelity than the Xbox360 version.

* Additional features our fans have sought after such as field of view adjustment as well as "hide HUD".
* Works with AMD Eyefinity 3D 3-screen mode.
* Works with NVIDIA NVISION2 Stereoscopic 3D***Cancelled by Microsoft at some point, citing the game is best played on a couch with TV. Uncancelled at a later time, and the final release includes veiled jab(s) (in QR codes found in-game) at Microsoft's platform exclusive original release.***A psychological thriller from makers of [[game:Max Payne]] series.
