| The Neverhood | DreamWorks Interactive (The Neverhood) | 1996 | You are Klaymen. Klaymen wakes up in a building in the strangely empty world of Neverhood. Initially, he does not know where he is or what he has to do, but as he explores the area, he finds mysterious disks. Each disk contains a fragment of a recording; gradually, the backstory is revealed as Klaymen finds more and more disks. It would spoil too much to reveal the exact plot, as finding it out is part of the game. The Neverhood is a point-and-click adventure game, notable for its claymation graphics. It uses a simple interface: you move and interact with the world by clicking on the screen. There is no inventory screen, though Klaymen can find a few items he can pick up. There are few inventory-based puzzles; most of the puzzles involve solving riddles and interacting with the environment. Generally, the game is seen from a 3rd person perspective, but when moving between locales, you see the world through Klaymen's eyes (but you have a limited freedom of movement).*** [65]*** [58]***A movie based on the game is in production by Frederator Studios with Doug TenNapel as director.

| Knights of the Old Republic | LucasArts (Bioware) | 2003 | Con un combate de RPG por turnos y una vasta personalización, este juego brilla por una historia elaborada con unos personajes carismáticos.

Stops eventually when he's old and white-haired.***First person perspective is only for using bow, and that's only for better accuracy, has basically no use later in the game unless you really want to waste time doing headshots instead of just filling their bodies with arrows (which you have an endless supply of).***Based on the best selling award winning Xbox title "Fable", "Fable: The Lost Chapters" is now fully optimized for the Windows platform complete with expanded content, greater customization, new quests and enhanced graphics.

| Mass Effect 2 | Electronic Arts (BioWare;EA Montreal) | 2010 | Recruit. Explore. Control. Two years after Commander Shepard repelled invading Reapers bent on the destruction of organic life, a mysterious new enemy has emerged. On the fringes of known space, something is silently abducting entire human colonies. Now Shepard must work with Cerberus, a ruthless organization devoted to human survival at any cost, to stop the most terrifying threat mankind has ever faced. To even attempt this perilous mission, Shepard must assemble the galaxy’s most elite team and command the most powerful ship ever built. Even then, they say it would be suicide. Commander Shepard intends to prove them wrong. Just like in the previous game, what you say to the other characters matters a great deal. Fortunately, the conversation system has been improved. The camera now pans around characters as they talk to one another to evoke a dramatic, cinematic feel. Also, Shepard can interrupt the conversation when given the appropriate prompt, taking situations into new directions that could help or hinder the mission. Shepard is more customizable than ever, letting you create your ideal lead character — gender, facial features, class, and of course, attitude. Once you embark on missions, you’ll be treated to an improved battle system that lets you target weak points and blast off your enemy’s limbs with a variety of weapons. Set out to lead your team to victory... or die at the hands of The Collectors. Either path is possible in BioWare’s smash hit, Mass Effect 2. Which destiny will you choose?*** [100]*** [12]***Mejora lo visto en el anterior juego, añade el elemento de la munición y simplifica la exploración de planetas. Nunca "Shepard" dijo tanto 7 de 10***Besides removing pretty much everything that was bad about ME1, ME2 has some other improvements besides that. Though I did miss driving with the Mako on the planet with the Thorian, I'm still glad planetary surveys had been simplified to manual scanner sweeps over the old drive around with the Mako till you find something of interest. The game's RPG elements have been simplified, as most weapon skills no longer exist, and the ones that exist are temporary boosts or similar. Biotics were largely unchanged, though some new powers were added. A unique(?) feature was introduced with every single skill branching on the last (fourth) level into two alternatives that give various benefits. Otherwise the game remains largely the same, though there's almost none of the tedious running "quests" ME1 had on the Citadel. The locations you visit are much smaller, but generally speaking more unique. You won't feel like you're visiting the same place for the thousandth time unless you really are. That comes obviously with the cost that there's less optional things to do besides scanning planets for minerals, though I didn't bother to scan any more than was necessary (which probably left well over two thirds of the systems unexplored). To summarize: ME2 is better in almost all aspects I could care about in ME1's sequel, was somewhat amazed at this achievement myself.***[b]Minimum:[/b] * Windows XP, Vista or 7 * 1.8 GHz Core 2 Duo CPU * 1 GB RAM * 256 MB VRAM * GeForce 6800 or Radeon X1600 Pro GPU [b]Recommended:[/b] * 2.6 GHz Core 2 Duo CPU * 2 GB RAM * GeForce 8800 GT or Radeon HD 2900 XT GPU | labelimagesubject |
