Final Fantasy VII	Eidos;Square Enix (Square;Square Enix)	1998	The game was re-released in 2012 with the following added: cloud saves, achievements, and an easy access cheat ("Character Booster"). And updated to run on modern Windows OS.*Supposedly, this is not a code port. None of the original source code was used by the outside team from Hawaii that brought this game to Windows. When FF7 for PlayStation was completed, the entire team was reassigned or fired and their unique hardware was sold or dismantled. The source code was unique to the development hardware. Without the specialized hardware, the source code was not compileble or even modifiable in any useful way. Square had neither the people nor the code to do a port. All the new team had was the data specific to the PSX (barely useful) and unuseable source code. Eventually the team discovered that what they had been given was not even from the final PSX version, it was roughly rendered temporary data and pre-alpha code that had never actual been successfully compiled. And to top it off, no one on this new team had every worked on a game before. All this is known because all of the debug information (including rants and raves by the team) were unintentionally left in the executable.*First PC conversion of a Final Fantasy game that finally brought the bizarre numbering system in line in both Japan and Europe/USA. PC RPGs were never the same again, the gigantic storyline and superb combat translated into the keyboard PC layout with surprising success.
Half-Life	Sierra On-Line (Valve)	1998	[100]* [12]* [84]*Half-Life Deathmatch: Source is a recreation of the first multiplayer game set in the Half-Life universe. Features all the classic weapons and most-played maps, now running on the Source engine. (Source standalone multiplayer/deathmatch mode)Winner of over 50 Game of the Year awards, Half-Life set new standards for action games when it was released in 1998. Half-Life: Source is a digitally remastered version of the critically acclaimed and best selling PC game, enhanced via Source technology to include physics simulation, enhanced effects, and more. (Source Remake Half-Life)Named Game of the Year by over 50 publications, Valve's debut title blends action and adventure with award-winning technology to create a frighteningly realistic world where players must think to survive. Also includes an exciting multiplayer mode that allows you to play against friends and enemies around the world. (GoldSrc Half-Life)* [53]*The gifted son of the love triangle between Wolf3, Doom and Quake. Having a Steam account without Half-Life is as absurd as a Spanish omelet without eggs or potatoes. Absolutely essential, recommended therapy against claustrophobia, arachnophobia, boredom and addiction to Wolverine clone shooters. It is recommended not to touch the microwave. Valve's greatest masterpiece to date. 10 out of 10There's two versions of this game (also of Blue Shift and Opposing Force) out, one uses the original GoldSrc engine, and another which was ported to the newer Source engine with very few (barely notable) changes to how the game appears or works.*[b]Minimum:[/b] Windows 95, 98 or NT4 * 133 MHz Pentium CPU * 24 MB RAM * Mouse * Keyboard***Listed as Game of the Year by nearly all (if not all) of the major gaming publications, this first person shooter is excellently done. 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.

Resident Evil 5	Capcom	2009	In Resident Evil 5, returning hero Chris Redfield is sent to Africa to investigate a biological weapon that is transforming the populace into aggressive and disturbing creatures.

Featuring a revolutionary new co-op mode of gameplay, Resident Evil 5 will let players experience fear together as terror moves out of the shadows and into the light of day. The PC version of Resident Evil 5 features online play for co-operative play sessions over the internet and will also take advantage of NVIDIA’s new GeForce 3D Vision technology.*RE5 sees the return of Las Plagas and some even older monsters as well as some completely new.[b]cooperation[/b] - minimal; most commonly you just have to wait for the other player at the exit if they're far away.

This base was known for its intensive research on the alien threat, having produced a number of papers on their behaviour and biological makeup, information the ISAF paid a great deal for. It's unknown whether the attack on this base was caused by the recent presence of a number of recently captured live bugs or whether it was just a random attack.

As a Commander in the Interstellar Armed Forces, your job is to guide your squad and successfully complete their mission against the ravages of the Swarm infestation, a threat which plagues mankind across the breadth of colonized space.
