Lugaru: The Rabbit's Foot	Wolfire Games	2005	Lugaru (pronounced Loo-GAH-roo) is the predecessor to Overgrowth. It is a DRM-free, third-person action game available for Mac, Windows, and Linux. The main character, Turner, is an anthropomorphic rebel bunny rabbit with impressive combat skills. In his quest to find those responsible for slaughtering his village, he uncovers a far-reaching conspiracy involving the corrupt leaders of the rabbit republic and the starving wolves from a nearby den. Turner takes it upon himself to fight against their plot and save his fellow rabbits from slavery.***Lugaru source code was released under GPL license on 2010-05-11. This presumably only includes the game engine code and not the artistic assets. For more info, see: [url]http://blog.wolfire.com/2010/05/Lugaru-goes-open-source[/url] Lugaru HD is the same game but includes a fan-made high definition texture pack by Tim Soret which was originally available as a free mod to the game, but was at some point later (2009-05) included in the base game's download as well.
Assassin's Creed	Ubisoft Entertainment (Ubisoft Montreal)	2008	El comienzo estelar de la saga, a pesar de ser mucho más lineal y corto que sus predecesores (y unas misiones secundarias enormemente repetitivas), se hecha de menos no ser una arsenal andante que puede con toda la guardia de la ciudad: mucho más sigilo y huida y menos acción. Especialmente reseñable era la posibilidad de finalizar un asesinato siguiendo el diario de Altair, convirtiendo el encargo en un auténtico reto, además de la claustrofóbica situación de Desmond y la intriga que rodea todo el juego. Como reprochable, la enorme letalidad del agua, aunque también es cierto que es de gran ayuda contra los templarios. 8 de 10*2008-04-09 as boxed 2008-04-09 on Steam (eng,fre,ita,ger,spa)[b]save points[/b] - there's only one save per profile, so make sure you back it up occasionally. Nothing worse than playing almost through the game and the save getting corrupted for whatever reason (such as BSOD). The saves are stored in `[code]%APPDATA%/Ubisoft/Assassin's Creed/Saved Games/[/code]´.Latest version: 1.02 (as of 2008-05-14)The story starts with Desmond Miles being kidnapped in 2012 by Abstergo Industries and put into the Animus machine, a device capable of drawing out genetic memories and allowing the user to re-live their ancestors' lives. For Desmond, this is the life of Altaïr Ibn La-Ahad (الطائر), an assassin who lived during the Third Crusade in 1191. Although the story skips the kidnapping and starts with Desmond jagged into the Animus and experiencing some synchronization issues with it. The game is difficult to categorize and abundantly lampshaded by the fact that most of the game takes place inside the Animus which has been created to produce a video game like experience, so effectively you're playing a video game inside a video game. And the experience produced by the Animus is an abstraction of sorts with various alterations that make it easier for the user to operate it, such as translating all languages to plain English and so forth. So any inconsistencies with reality are due to that, and since memories aren't exactly logical 1 to 1 copies of reality, much illogical instances can occur, some of which can be interpreted to mean some [url=http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/JustBugsMe/Ptitlel59ywfenym8d?from=JustBugsMe.AssassinsCreed]very strange things[/url]. Things you may need to replay the whole game for:[spoiler]In memory block 4, you have a chance to pickpocket Vidic to get his security pen. This opportunity does not represent itself and replaying the memory block later does not roll back time in the "real world". After the credits you gain access to the conference room where you need Vidic's pen to access a computer, but there's nothing else after that besides your ability to replay the memory blocks and aim for 100% completion (collecting all the flags, killing the templars, scouting, and doing all the side tasks).[/spoiler]*[b]Minimum:[/b] Windows XP or Vista * 2.6 GHz dual-core Pentium D or Athlon 64 X2 3800+ CPU * 1 GB RAM (2 GB for Vista) * 256 MB VRAM * Radeon X1600 or GeForce 6800 GPU * 8 GB HD space [b]Recommended:[/b] * Core 2 Duo 2.2 GHz or Athlon 64 X2 4400+ CPU * 5.1 capable soundcard***The PC version has 4 new missions compared to the original console version.

Tomb Raider: Underworld	Eidos Interactive (Crystal Dynamics)	2008	Es una pena los enormes errores en el manejo que tiene el juego, ya que por lo demás es claramente mejor que las anteriores entregas en prácticamente todo.

Prototype	Activision (Radical Entertainment)	2009	Anyone experiencing crashes that can't be traced down to anything real should try playing the game by limiting it to 1 CPU core, on systems with 4 or more cores some may have luck with limiting it to less than half of the cores.your. ... Personally this occurred as spurious crashes (in nvd3dum.dll which supposedly indicates bad GPU driver) until it finally became rather consistent when trying to protect the bloodtox tank. The game is also one of the few games truly incompatible with 64 bit version of XP, so you're out of luck there (compatibility mode nor anything else will help you).*[spoiler=Show spoilers;Hide][b]Autopsy on fully clothed Alex[/b] : A Web of Intrigue video mentions that everything on Alex is actually part of his biomass, this also explains how he mimics people and their clothes repeatedly and discards them for his own form, and repeats this as often as he wants to.

Players assume the role of an insurgent fighter with the newly re-established Red Faction movement as they battle for liberation from the oppressive Earth Defense Force.

Utilizing improvised weapons, explosives and re-purposed mining equipment and vehicles, Red Faction: Guerrilla allows players to tear through fully destructible environments in an unforgiving Martian landscape swarming with EDF forces, Red Faction resistance fighters, and the downtrodden settlers caught in the cross-fire. Red Faction: Guerrilla also features a robust multiplayer component, including several modes focused on destruction-based gameplay.*2009-09-11 on Steam, by THQ (lang: eng, cze, fre, ger, ita, jap, pol, rus, spa)
Risen	Deep Silver (Piranha Bytes)	2009	Un juego de acción/RPG que combina bastante bien la exploración y un ligero plataformeo con combates de corte sencilla. Notable las diferentes reacciones de los diversos enemigos (agresivos, territoriales...) 7 sobre 10*The game left me feeling it was incomplete and that the main plot had a lot to be desired of. The side quests were however fairly entertaining and far better (and time consuming) than the main plot, giving this a bit of an impression on Elder Scrolls series which also thrives from side-quests rather than the main plot. However, unlike most RPGs ever, player can actually fight and defeat end-game opponents fairly early on as combat is mainly based on player skill rather than numbers (attributes, statistics, etc.), though due to lacking numbers these will take a bit more time. Even the final boss is beatable with fairly low level character (maybe as low as 10) since it's not that dependent on player having any numerical advantages. Levels mainly making combat go faster because you deal more damage and makes mistakes more forgiving, but they don't really help you fight the enemy, since levels do not make you immune to shield breaks, enemy dodging, or cause you to dodge automatically. Overall this is fairly enjoyable game, but loses most of its appeal once you have nothing else than the main plot to do (around chapter 2 or 3). The ending is also disappointing as it does not really solve the original issue at all. Variety of smaller bugs can make the game experience jarring and the jest spell not having any effect it is claimed to have (beyond making characters laugh) despite frequent claims that it does, does make the game feel rushed.An epic story in an authentic world hand-crafted with an eye for detail and populated by "real", plausible characters. A Mysterious Volcanic Island The heavy tremors on the island bode ill for its inhabitants. Ancient temples have risen from the ground recently, bizarre creatures are terrorising the area. Fear and terror is spreading among the population. The End of All Hope? A group of powerful men who call themselves "The Inquisitors" have taken it upon them-selves to put an end to these events. They send an exhibition to this remote island, but a storm takes hold of the ship and destroys it at sea. A Hero Will Come - As if by a miracle, the player survives the shipwreck and is stranded on the volcanic island alone. He finds himself amidst a chaos of rebellion, tyranny and mystic rituals. He must now decide to which side the pendulum of fate will swing.**Very similar to Gothic series which was also by Piranha Bytes.
Assassin's Creed II	Ubisoft (Ubisoft Montreal)	2010	Con una gran variedad de misiones secundarias y mucha más exploración, parece mejor que el primer juego. Sin embargo, un Ezio con demasiados cachivaches (o demasiada munición según se mire) y con habilidades de combate demasiado poderosas (como poder bloquear con la hoja oculta) hacen que las misiones se tornen muy asequibles. Además el sigilo no prima tanto como en el primer juego. 7 de 10*Deluxe Edition adds 3 maps: Palazzo Medici, Santa Maria Dei Frari, and the Arsenal Shipyard. Ad speech mentions secret treasures and nothing else. Unknown if this means simply florins or actual equipment.Undefined game-play elements: blending in with the crowd, hiring prostitutes (or others?) to serve as cover (controllable crowd) or to distract those who'd wish you harm.**Continues Desmond Miles' story right where it ended in the first game, even if Altair is no longer his alter ego inside the Animus.

Dark Souls	Namco Bandai (From Software)	2012	Drift bags and vagrants are one of the most obscure mechanics of the game. Drift bags are dropped items that are randomly transported to another player's world where they can be picked up, if they aren't picked up they get transported again. Once the drift bag has been transported enough many times, it turns into a vagrant, a rare enemy that spawns in no other way. Vagrants if undefeated will be transported to other players' worlds much like the drift bags.*The game's story is about the waning Age of Fire which the player can help continue or end, the waning of the age also is the cause of the undead curse when Gwyn kindled the First Flame with his essence. Letting the Age of Fire end would bring about Age of Dark (a.k.a. Age of Humanity), but considering how Dark Souls (a.k.a. human souls) are prone to bad things and generally the world's bleak presentation of humans, this would probably be about as bad thing as the previous age or worse. How bad humans and Dark Souls are or can be is especially shown in Artorias of the Abyss expansion (which is included in the Windows port of the game), though the information gained there can be somewhat misleading. The Abyss appeared because the pygmy went insane, not because it was natural thing to happen with Dark Souls, and the Abyss corrupted Artorias and the Oolacile. Many players seem to assume this is the natural progression for what happens with Dark Souls unfortunately.With a moody and almost grimterror atmosphere and lore that would make even H.P.Lovecraft shiver a little, a simple but very customizable character development and a gameplay that is hard and "unfair", bringing back the "trial and error" progress system of classical arcade games, this game is simply a jewel of RPG-action goodness. Sadly, this version is a poorly done port from the console version, almost forcing to be played by handheld control (keyboard + mouse is horribly designed and also missing keybinding for some actions), and the camera feels clunky, slow and very dependant of player panning/autolock. 8 of 10*Dark Souls is an upcoming action role-playing game from the developers who brought you Demon’s Souls, FromSoftware. Dark Souls will have many familiar features: A dark fantasy universe, tense dungeon crawling, fearsome enemy encounters and unique online interactions. Dark Souls is a spiritual successor to Demon’s, not a sequel. Prepare for a new, despair-inducing world, with a vast, fully-explorable horizon and vertically-oriented landforms. Prepare for a new, mysterious story, centered around the King’s Crowns and the original, now dying flame at the center of the world. But most of all, prepare to die. You will face countless murderous traps, countless darkly grotesque monsters and several gargantuan, supremely powerful demons and dragons. You must learn from death to persist through this unforgiving world. And you aren’t alone. Dark Souls allows the spirits of other players to show up in your world, so you can learn from their deaths and they can learn from yours. New to Dark Souls is Beacon Fire, where you can share the experiences of your adventure with the spirits of other players. Around the Beacon Fire, you may find the only warmth and calm that exists in this dark world. Beware: There is no place in Dark Souls that is truly safe. With days of game play and an even more punishing difficulty level, Dark Souls will be the most deeply challenging game you play this year. Can you live through a million deaths and earn your legacy? [b]New Content[/b] Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition will include an untold chapter in the world of Lordran where the player must stop the spread of darkness at all costs by facing and defeating the Dark Knight Artorias.

Player success depends on their eventual mastery of how and when to use the magic spells, choice of armor, the number of weapons, the types of weapons, and the moves attached to the weapons. * Network Play – Players may cross paths with one another, interacting with each other throughout the game even as each player plays their own game. * Flexible Character Development & Role Play – As the player progresses, they must carefully choose which of their character’s abilities to enhance as this will determine their progression style. * Community – See other real players and empathize with their journey, learn from seeing how others died, find and leave messages for your fellow players; helping them or leading them into death. * Symbolic of Life & Hope – The Beacon Fire is an important feature of Dark Souls for many reasons. Though in gameplay it serves as a recovery and re‐spawn point for players whose health gets low and is the one place in the dark world where players can find a fleeting moment of warmth and calm.***[media=youtube]WlVBVKAFFg4[/media]

Deadlight	Microsoft Studios (Tequila Works)	2012
Tomb Raider	Square Enix (Crystal Dynamics)	2013	Probablemente el mejor Tomb Raider jamás hecho, aunque abusa un poco de los QTM y se nota la ausencia de puzzles. Aún así, la mezcla de acción-plataformas está mejor realizada que nunca. 8 de 10***Notes on tags: [spoiler] [b]Giant humanoids[/b] - the Oni are not explained what they really are, whether they are actually Japanese demons ([url=/groups/info/ogres]ogres[/url] really) or just some of the samurai who suffer from gigantism. [b]Undead[/b] - the Stormguard. Although nothing really suggests this except for that you can kill them by destroying their belt buckles, which presumably animate their dead bodies. [/spoiler]

Gunpoint	Suspicious Developments	2013	Una mecánica de juego brillante, que se asemeja en estilo a la saga Metal Gear, ya que baila entre la acción cautelosa y el sigilo más extremo. Su historia es bastante más inmersiva y entretenida de lo que sugiere su sencillo aspecto, y el creador de misiones es fácil de utilizar y eficaz. La música está lograda, y pega bien con unos gráficos llenos de sombreados píxeles y un humor negro casual. 8 de 10***The game title is not relevant to the game itself, as there's even an achievement with description for this muckup for player justifying it.

Dark Souls II	FromSoftware;Namco Bandai Games (FromSoftware)	2014	Developed by FROM SOFTWARE, DARK SOULS™ II is the highly anticipated sequel to the gruelling 2011 breakout hit Dark Souls. The unique old-school action RPG experience captivated imaginations of gamers worldwide with incredible challenge and intense emotional reward. [Steam Store]***Confusingly DS2 DX9 version received an update named Scholar of the First Sin which makes it harder to identify the actual DX11 version released under that name in some circumstances. Although the update makes the DX9 version close to what the DX11 version is, there's still significant differences between them.
A Story About My Uncle	Coffee Stain Studios (Gone North Games)	2014	The game is told as a bedtime story that a father is telling his daughter. When the father was young, his biggest dream was to follow his uncle Fred on his many adventures around the world.

With help from his uncle’s inventions, he traverses beautiful underground caves, uncovers clues to his uncle’s whereabouts and meets fantastical creatures that help him on his journey. The further the boy goes into the caves, the deeper the mystery gets. Where had uncle Fred gone, and why had he left so suddenly?

Lifeless Planet	KISS Ltd (Stage 2 Studios )	2014
Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor	WB Games (Monolith Productions)	2014	Like a lovechild of Assassin's Creed and Batman Arkham series, its most remarkable feature is the lieutenant system and the "live" that brings to your actions and the map itself, making the game a pretty fun sandbox (even dying on purpouse can be useful) intertwinned with some exploration and a few interesting missions. 7 of 10***Fight through Mordor and uncover the truth of the spirit that compels you, discover the origins of the Rings of Power, build your legend and ultimately confront the evil of Sauron in this new chronicle of Middle-earth.

Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin	FromSoftware;Bandai Namco Entertainment (FromSoftware)	2015	DARK SOULS™ II: Scholar of the First Sin brings the franchise’s renowned obscurity & gripping gameplay to a new level. Join the dark journey and experience overwhelming enemy encounters, diabolical hazards, and unrelenting challenge. [Steam Store]*(Jugado hasta la segunda zona) Hasta ahora he visto que mejora y cambia respecto al anterior varios elementos. Pros: -Los controles por fin son decentes. -No se traba como antes. -Alterna con mucho más criterio entre lugares claustrofóbicos y espacios abiertos. -Añade cierta belleza a su habitual mundo tenebroso. Cons: -Sigue favoreciendo demasiado las clases de melee puro o con toques de magia frente a cualquier otra. 8 de 10[b]Scholar of the First Sin[/b] edition brings few mostly irrelevant changes to the base gameplay while bundling the 3 Crowns DLCs. Also exclusively 64 bit and DX11 unlike the original which was exclusively 32 bit and DX9. [b]Changes:[/b] 6 maximum players per session (2 allied summons and 3 invaders) instead of 4, and an additional item to control soul memory. * Some enemy placements have been changed. * Includes the Crown of the Sunken King, Crown of the Old Iron King, and Crown of the Ivory King DLCs.
