| Hellgate: London | Namco Bandai;Electronic Arts (Flagship Studios) | 2007 | Latest version: SP 1.2 (as of ?), MP 1.3d (as of 2008-07)***[b]References:[/b] * Diablo: Wirt's peg leg***2008-02-22 Korea, published by Hanbitsoft Note that the original English version of Hellgate has been abandoned and Hanbitsoft continued to develop their release beyond that. They re-published their version internationally, but it has been changed noticeably from its origins and there is no update/upgrade path for original Hellgate: London owners to the Hanbitsoft version. The core game is still very similar, but Hanbitsoft's version resembles MMOs much more closely in terms of features (though still lacks open areas where all players fight for ).***The multiplayer part is similar to that of Guild Wars, with people gathering at the hubs (underground stations; a bit like location specific in-game lobbies) from where they head out into [i]instanced[/i] combat/quest areas. So this is practically a MMO with the same experience available for single-player/offline users (minus the other players).***[b]Minimum:[/b] * Windows XP SP2 or Vista * 1.8 GHz CPU (2.4 GHz for Vista) * 1 GB RAM (2GB for Vista) * 128 MB VRAM * 7 GB HD space * Radeon 9000 or GeForce 6200***DESCRIPTION Hellgate : London is the first original title from premier developer Flagship Studios. Set in the near future, Hellgate introduces gamers to a world devastated by demon invasion. Players are thrust into a desolate city scorched by hellfire. Here, the few survivors must meld science and sorcery in order to gain a foothold against the minions of darkness and save the bloodline of humanity. Hellgate : London combines the depth of role-playing games with the action of first-person shooters while offering infinite replayability and an individualized gaming experience complete with dynamically created levels, monsters, items and events. Players create a hero and then battle through innumerable hordes of demons while completing quests and advancing through experience levels and branching skill paths. A robust, flexible skill and spell system, highly-customizable items and a massive variety of randomly generated equipment allow players to create a hero that is truly unique. FEATURES * A New Perspective on RPGs Combining the depth and customizability of role-playing games with the immersion of those played from the first-person, Hellgate is fast-paced but doesn't require lightning reflexes to achieve a high level of success. * Unique and Appealing World Explore an ominous post-apocalypse London alone or with friends. From ancient ruins long buried beneath once thriving streets to shattered cathedrals, fact and myth are blurred into an unceasing nightmare as the last remnants of humanity fight for their very souls. * Character Classes Fight against the demons of the underworld as one of several unique character classes. like the Templar, each class has a unique visual and game-play style based on its particular history and place in the world. Randomly generated items that can be modified in numerous ways ensure that heroes are distinct and individualized. * Hell on Earth Battle against a wide variety of demonic enemies, each with their own unique attributes, abilities, and vulnerabilities. * Infinite Re-playability With dynamically generated levels, massive quantities of randomly created items, chance events and story-driven quests, no two gaming experiences are ever the same. Differing levels of rarity and modification potential for items and skills also mean that every game played is a unique event. * Single-Player and Online Multiplayer Support While Hellgate : London stands on its own as a singleplayer game, it also provides a compelling multiplayer experience via a dedicated online gaming destination. By creating unique and individualized gameplay "instances" within a vast online community, Hellgate provides gamers with all the best parts of traditional massive multiplayer games, but without any of the common downsides.

| Dragon Age: Origins | EA International (BioWare) | 2009 | Un mundo muy detallado y con grandes diferencias según el personaje que escojas, se presenta como un RPG de grupo muy entretenido y variado. 7 de 10***Initial impression was quite good. Just didn't last past going outside the initial Grey Warden camp, the forest (The Wilds) outside just seemed so rudimentary compared to anything prior. Advancing through the game seems to be only fun if you're interested in learning about the world (the lore) as it offers very little besides that.***[b]Minimum:[/b] * Windows XP or Vista * 1.6GHz Core 2 Duo or 2.2 GHz Athlon 64 * 1 GB RAM * 128 MB VRAM * GeForce 6600 GT or Radeon X850 GPU * 16 GB HD space***Latest version: 1.02 (as of 2009-12-07)***As the spiritual successor to BioWare's "Baldur's Gate", one of the most successful role-playing games in the industry, Dragon Age: Origins represents BioWare's return to its roots, delivering a fusion of the best elements of existing fantasy works with stunning visuals, emotionally-driven narrative, heart-pounding combat, powerful magic abilities and credible digital actors. The spirit of classic RPGs comes of age, as Dragon Age: Origins features a dark and mature story and gameplay. Epic Party-Based Combat – Dragon Age: Origins introduces an innovative, scalable combat system, as players face large-scale battles and use their party’s special abilities to destroy hordes of enemies and massive creatures. Powerful Magic – Raining down awesome destruction on enemies is even more compelling as players apply "spell combos," a way of combining together different spells to create emergent unique effects. Players develop their characters and gain powerful special abilities (spells, talents and skills) and discover ever-increasing weapons of destruction. With its emotionally compelling story, players choose with whom they wish to forge alliances or crush under their mighty fist, redefining the world with the choices they make and how they wield their power. Players select and play a unique prelude that provides the lens through which the player sees the world and how the world sees the player. The player's choice of Origin determines who they are and where they begin the adventure, as they play through a customized story opening that profoundly impacts the course of every adventure.***US 2009-11-03 on Steam, by Electronic Arts?

| Hellgate | HanbitSoft | 2009 | Very much the same game as the original Hellgate: London with offline play removed completely and some other features added. Immediately obvious differences is the presence of item shop (microtransactions), achievements, auction house, newbie XP boost status effect, and various other features reminiscent of MMOs. The overall story is less apparent and some things in regards to the story that existed in the original are no longer in. | labelimageminimize |
