Unreal	GT Interactive;Infogrames (Epic MegaGames;Digital Extremes)	1998	MSRP: $54.95 (U.S.)* [53]1998-04-30 original release as reported by Epic Games, published by GT Interactive. Validity uncertain despite the source. 1998-05-22 as reported on the official site at the time of release. 1999 Unreal Gold - re-release that bundled Return to Na Pali. 2000-09-22 - re-release by Infogrames 2001 another re-release by InfogramesAlthough Unreal was great back in the days it first came out, it hasn't fared well against the ravages of time. It's difficult to get running on modern Windows operating systems (with hardware 3D acceleration, software rendering works fine) and when you do, it's a terrible realization that it doesn't look as great as you remember. Something 3D games are perhaps only now managing to accomplish (if even now), a level of detail that can survive for ages like 2D graphics reached long ago. The difficulty setting is a bit curious as it adjusts the dodge-firing ratio, so the easiest difficulty may actually be the hardest since the enemies dodge a _lot_, while at hardest they practically just stand there and shoot at you a never ending stream of bullets/rockets/whatever. So, if you're poor shot, go for harder difficulties, if you're poor dodger, go for easy. The normal difficulty and those near it balance it out so it may be harder or easier depending on your skill and playstyle.*Great FP-Shooter, network-playing, Missiondisc available

Severance - Blade of Darkness	Codemasters (Rebel Act)	2001	Among the first games, if not the first, to have fully dynamic/real-time shadows. Also among the first ones (not [i]the[/i] first one, mind) where you can chop off limbs from your enemies and they continue to live and fight you, until they bleed to death. (IIRC, organic mobs did bleed, undead didn't.. long time since I last played)
Return to Castle Wolfenstein	Activision (Gray Matter Interactive Studios;Nerve Software;id Software)	2001	One of those game that you play with the feeling of "I remember it as awesome cuz' nostalgia and such" BUT NO, this game is still epic. -A brutal and unforgiving AI, who knows to delude you and how to flank you, kick back grenades, use covers and retreats in a clever way, and even how to use the environment to kill you. -Variety: from run and gun missions, to incredible monsters and bosses, stealth missions and defend point situations. -Superb level design: maps with many routes to take and even some secrets. -A very unique blend of classical and modern FPS (weaponry from old with aiming from contemporary times) -Zombies nazis and nazi zombies (the first ones have less meat) -And last, an objective-based multiplayer mode (not great, but kind of unique). GET PSYCHED! 9 of 10*[media=youtube]sHdBHeDjAY0[/media]World War II rages and nations fall. SS head Himmler has Hitler's full backing to twist science and the occult into an army capable of annihilating the Allies once and for all. Battling alone, you're on an intense mission to pierce the black heart of the Third Reich and stop Himmler -- or die trying. Fighting in advanced team-based multiplayer mode, you'll wage your own WWII in an all-out Axis vs. Allies contest for frontline domination. Powered by the Quake III Arena engine, the Wolfenstein universe explodes with the kind of epic environments, A.I., firepower and cinematic effects that only a game created by true masters can deliver.

Attacks and other movements extend over several instants, allowing you to deliberately catch enemy blows or plan your counter-attack.

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.

The spirit of classic RPGs comes of age, as Dragon Age: Origins features a dark and mature story and gameplay.
