| Total Annihilation | GT Interactive (Cavedog Entertainment) | 1997 | The presented conflict is between Core and Arm. Core being the government who imposed the requirement of turning people into robots (full robots, not cyborgs) by transferring their consciousness into robotic husks and attaining some sort of next step in human evolution. Arm are the people who wanted to continue living on as humans, but of course the government didn't take a no for an answer. The conflict obviously has escalated quite a bit from that. Both sides use remotely controlled robot armies to wage the war, so there are no lives lost on either side except for the commanders if they fail to escape.***Simply put: this was the best real-time strategy game when it was released, and it still is the king, despite being so old by the time I'm writing this. The graphics are no longer the best in the market, but they're still gurgeous, with fully animated polygonal units, and incredibly rendered terrains. The soundtrack is orchestral - literally. The basic game has nothing less than 150 units, there's more in the expansion pack Core Contingency, and yet a dozens more free for download, all of them made by the developer, and in the Internet you'll find thousands of third party not only of units, but also of maps, AIs and lots of other goodies. And the gameply... oh, the gameplay... Hundreds of robots, planes, ships and tanks involved in huge battles at the same time, with amazing explosion effects for incredible different weapons, including inter-continental plasma cannons and nuclear missiles. Command squadrons with as many units as you like to storm an enemy outpost, or build plenty of defense buildings to not get hammered. Since there's land, water and air units, you'll have to plan very well your advance through the map till total annihilation of your foes. That's not to mention, this game was the very first to introduce nice concepts, now present in every strategy game, such as wind that has influence on the shots' fly, higher ground grants plenty of advantage, specific air-to-ground and ground-to-air weapons, detailed unit behavior control, and the list of advances goes on and on... To finish: I urge you to play this game. You may love it, you may just like it a little, but there's no way you will hate it. It's not for no reason that it's one of the only games ever that has a very active community even after the developer company exits business. In some last worlds before they would go away, they shared some words with Total Annihilation's fans, both players and third party developers: 'You guys are the Cavedog now'. | labelimageminimize |
| Deus Ex | Eidos Interactive (Ion Storm) | 2000 | 2007-03-29 on Steam; GOTY edition (lang: eng)***This GAME OF THE YEAR EDITION of the smash hit Deus Ex features an all-new multiplayer mode and a new head-to-head deathmatch mode. Also included is a software development kit, so you'll be able to create both single and multiplayer missions from scratch, as well as modify existing ones. The year is 2052 and the world is a dangerous and chaotic place. Terrorists operate openly - killing thousands; drugs, disease and pollution kill even more. The world's economies are close to collapse and the gap between the insanely wealthy and the desperately poor grows ever wider. Worst of all, an ages old conspiracy bent on world domination has decided that the time is right to emerge from the shadows and take control. No one believes they exist. No one but you. * Real role-playing from an immersive 3D, first-person perspective. The game includes action, character interaction and problem solving. * Realistic, recognizable locations. Many of the locations are built from actual blueprints of real places set in a near future scenario. * A game filled with people rather than monsters. This creates empathy with the game characters and enhances the realism of the game world. * Rich character development systems: Skills, augmentations, weapon and item selections and multiple solutions to problems ensure that no two players will end the game with similar characters. * Multiple solutions to problems and character development choices ensure a varied game experience. Talk, fight or use skills to get past obstacles as the game adapts itself to your style of play. * Strong storyline: Built on "real" conspiracy theories, current events and expected advancements in technology. If it's in the game, someone, somewhere believes it. [Valve - GOTY edition]***If there's a thing that doesn't make sense, then it's the early sound cutoff bug this game has on my system. After trying solutions that work in every other game, I found on a forum that switching to sw rendering and back to D3D fixes it temporarily, and it did, even OpenGL rendering didn't have it. But both of those had some other issues I didn't want so I kept looking. Until I switched off vsync, and behold, sound clipping is [i]gone[/i]. Fine and dandy with me, except it doesn't make slightest bit of [u]sense[/u]. Video card setting that releases the framerate synchronization with screen refresh and allows the game to render more frames [i]somehow[/i] allows the game to play the voice overs to the end. Other people have had similar issues with the game and all with different solutions, but those other solutions actually made sense.***Latest version: 1.112fm (as of 2001-04-28?), 1.4 for French The 1.014f patch is the last that affected single-player.***[b]Minimum:[/b] * Windows 95 or 98 * 300 Mhz Pentium II CPU * 64 MB RAM * 4X CD-ROM Drive * 150 MB HD space [b]Recommended:[/b] * Athlon or Pentium III CPU * 128 MB RAM * 16 MB VRAM * 8X CD-ROM Drive * 750 MB HD space * EAX or A3D compliant audio card | labelimagesubject |

| The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion | 2K Games;Bethesda Softworks (Bethesda Game Studios) | 2006 | Oblivion is set during the Third Era, six years after the events of The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, although it is not a direct sequel to it or any other game. The game is set in Cyrodiil—a province of Tamriel, the continent on which all the games in the series have so far taken place. The story begins with the player imprisoned in a cell for an unknown crime. Emperor Uriel Septim VII, accompanied by Imperial bodyguards known as the Blades, arrives in the prison, fleeing from assassins who have murdered the emperor's three sons and are now targeting him. The emperor and the Blades reveal that the player's jail cell contains a secret entrance to a part of the city's sewer that functions as an escape route. Pardoned by the emperor, the player follows the group into the sewer, where they come under attack by assassins. The blade captain is cut down during the fighting that ensues. Knowing he is destined to die by the hands of the assassins, Uriel Septim entrusts the player with the Amulet of Kings, worn by the Septim emperors of Tamriel, and orders the player to take it to a man named Jauffre, the grandmaster of the Blades, at Weynon Priory. Immediately afterward, one of the assassins kills the emperor. The player escapes the sewer and heads out into the open world of Cyrodiil.*** [100]*** [12]***[b]Add-ons:[/b] (DLC) * Knights of the Nine * Horse Armor * Frostcrag * Battlehorn Castle * Mehrune's Razor * Orrery * Thieves' Den * Vile Lair (Deepscorn Hollow) * Spell Tomes [i]Shivering Isles[/i] is also DLC but adds ~30 hours of gameplay and is considered an actual expansion rather than minor add-on.***[b]Performance optimization:[/b] 1) In [code]Oblivion.ini[/code] set [code]iMinGrassSize=130[/code] (default: 80), this makes grass more sparse (the grass is mostly CPU intensive). 2) Disable HDR and use only Bloom effect (HDR in Oblivion is very hackish anyway).

INT 2009-06-16 on Steam, by Bethesda Softworks (lang: eng) --- GOTY edition, includes Knights of the Nine and the Shivering Isles expansions.***Oblivion, when it still wasn't out in the light, held my hopes of redeeming the errors done in Morrowind for the series, but woe it was not to be so. Oblivion is much like Morrowind, except they ruined the beast races' looks even more (though I kinda like it they chose not to use digitigrade legs for them instead of vainly trying to get them to work like they tried in Morrowind - it was a horrible sight if you don't know). Anyways, Oblivion did have many improvements over Morrowind, the graphic mood isn't as happy as in Morrowind, but still needs work to reach what it was In Daggerfall to really suit my taste (Battlespire and Redguard had the mood right, too). The graphic side really had gained some improvement (mostly just tech eyecandy), except the land still looks like it's made of bent plastic like in Morrowind. Unsurprisingly the AI seems to have received extremely little attention, with the opponents blindly rushing in at you or blasting from afar with little regard to tactics or anything else than to attack and.. well.. attack. The last time I saw AI this weak was in Serious Sam, but that game didn't really need it. Still, You'd have expected Oblivion to have something more advanced but no, it seems they ignored it completely. It's also sad that they still rely on level-scaling the opponents to keep the "challenge" up, but that makes the world seem ridiculous since everything becomes tougher with you. So, in the end, you don't kick the ass out of those pesky rats any more easily then than you did when you just started out of the prison, which leaves room to question, what is the leveling there really for? It seems as if you leveling up means the world is becoming more and more dangerous simply because _you_ are becoming better (by around level 20 pretty much every bandit and God knows what is wearing full Daedric armour and weapons all enchanted to the brink with who knows what), raising curious questions about what your character really is to cause such grand change in the order of things. Your actions still go largely unnoticed by others and have little impact on things that you can do, making one wonder what they really did for the series. The story goes on, the series gets better tech, but the gameplay stays the same crappy self from year to year. If they ever decide to make fifth chapter, well... if it looks like nothing's changed from this for the better, then my hope for the series will be gone for good.***Game links: [[link:http://www.tessource.net/ The Elder Scrolls Source (mods)]] [[link:http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/ Planet Elder Scrolls (mods)]] [[link:http://timeslip.chorrol.com/obmm_download.html Oblivion Mod Manager]] [[link:http://jorgeoscuro.googlepages.com/home Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul]] [[link:http://www.tescreens.be/oblivionmodwiki/index.php/Cosmetic_Compilation Cosmetic Compilation (mod for making better looking characters)]] [[link:http://korana.elricm.com/eshme_bodies.htm Eshme's Bodies (better bodies)]] [[link:http://btmod.beider.org/ BTmod (better UI)]] [cjlee001] | labelimagesubject |
| Resident Evil 4 | Ubisoft (Capcom Production Studio 4) | 2007 | [100]*** [12]***"In Resident Evil 4 players are reacquainted with Leon S. Kennedy, Raccoon City Police Department's idealistic rookie cop from 'Resident Evil 2.' It has been six years since the destruction of Raccoon City and in that time, the U.S. government has been able to destroy the nefarious Umbrella Corporation. Fast forward to 2004 and players rejoin Leon, who is now a U.S. agent with a top-secret mission. He has been tasked to look into the abduction of the President's daughter and his investigation has led him to a mysterious location in Europe. As Leon encounters unimaginable horrors, he must find out who or what is behind everything." [(unknown)] | labelimagesubject |

| BioShock | 2K Games (2K Boston;2K Australia) | 2007 | Una ambientación y estética únicas en una especie ciudad sumergida art decó, que presenta una acción directa con el doble uso de armas y plásmidos y una historia que baila entre la nostalgia y lo grotesco. Además tiene una dosis de elección muy superior a un juego de acción al uso. 8 de 10***[b]flash[/b] - used for the map at least.***2007-08-21 as boxed 2007-08-24 on Steam***Both the full game and the demo use SecuROM 7.x copy protection. SecuROM is used to enforce CD-in-drive, enforce an online activation, to damage the data on the CD to try to prevent coping it, and was for a much hated "installation limit" that prevented more than 3 install [i][b]attempts[/b][/i]. The geniuses at 2k game didn't want people installing the product on multiple PCs simultaneously and figured that limiting attempts would do the trick. Ingoring the fact that the CD-in-drive restriction already prevents multiple installations from running simultaneously. In reality, it caused the game to be uninstallable if the install process was abandon 3 times (due to errors, or failed requirements such as HD space, or just someone changing their mind). It also forbid reinstallation in cases of a crashed PC or transfer to new computer or in cases of system restore. Any finally, it was possible to successfully install 3 copies on 3 PCs simultaneously, this restriction failed in its purpose! After much complaint, 2k games announced, "Good news! As promised, all activation restrictions, including install limits, have been removed from BioShock PC as of today. You don't have to patch or install anything for this to go into effect for your copy of BioShock – it's already done! " [b]This is NOT and announcement of removal of SecuROM![/b] 2kgames later said "Our other methods of copy protection remain. You will still have to activate your copy, and you will still need to keep the disc in the drive. SecuROM has not been removed" So the cpremoved tag does not yet apply. [Zerothis]***[quote]No encounter ever plays out the same way twice. No two gamers will ever play BioShock the same way.[/quote] This is because the game has quite rapid respawn rate (enough rapid to be irritating and making the game into forced slugfest), causing encounters to happen even if not wanted and the creatures wander around aimlessly through the levels with apparently nothing to do. They sometimes huddle over corpses as if there was something interesting there, but there really isn't (I had scavenged all valuables from those corpses long ago). Though I have to admit that I [i]did[/i] play it on the hardest difficulty, so maybe that's (the rapid respawn) the only way they could think of how to make it more difficult. Didn't have much chance for stealth or alternative approaches when the guys were running everywhere. Although it was advertized that munitions were supposedly scarce, I never really ran out of them, actually I was almost constantly maxed, except in the particular weapon I had taken a liking of and after fighting swarms and swarms of suddenly script-spawning enemies or after fighting a Big Daddy (they really can take a beating). The only ways this game is better than Quake 4, Doom 3 or the like is that it's more free roaming (though there's very little use for it), has conversations and some sort of plot twists as well as the light RPG-ness in form of weapon and plasmid upgrades. The number of choices of approach are quite limited actually, either you shoot them or you.. well.. shoot them. Sneaking past them is usually impossible, or simply just ridiculously difficult opposed to just shooting them and the game has too many scripted sequences where you have to shoot them regardless of how you wanted to do it. The reliance on scripted sequences for variance is too old, but gives stronger story (scripted sequences are required to have a story, but the use of them outside it is not very good). Some of the things that happened were also very retro FPS-like, for example the one case where I picked up a new gun and swarms of new Mobs were spawned so I could "test it out". Sad little game in that regard, but can be fun if you ignore all that. On the confrontation with Ryan, I heard a rather poor explanation for it once (if I remember it correctly, they simply assumed Ryan was raving mad). My own interpretation of it, however, is different. [spoiler=Show;Hide]Ryan first demonstrates the protagonist's dilemma, he's been "programmed" to follow orders of others, with key words activating certain behaviour and in this case, simple "please" would force the protagonist to do as was asked. Protagonist ridiculously follows Ryan's brief orders ("turn around", "run", etc.) followed by "please", until finally Ryan gives him a golf club and tells the protagonist to "kill" (please), while the protagonist is beating him to death, Ryan solemnly repeats a motto: "Man chooses, slave obeys." which he had said earlier (IIRC). This is where some might think Ryan is insane, however, to me he seems idealistic or something that the protagonist is not a slave as he was made to be (which he also demonstrated with his earlier commands), but a free man, able to choose his own actions. Unfortunately, the protagonist is unable to break through the "programming" (mind control) and finally kills Ryan.[/spoiler]***BioShock is a shooter unlike any you've ever played, loaded with weapons and tactics never seen. You'll have a complete arsenal at your disposal from simple revolvers to grenade launchers and chemical throwers, but you'll also be forced to genetically modify your DNA to create an even more deadly weapon: you. Injectable plasmids give you super human powers: blast electrical currents into water to electrocute multiple enemies, or freeze them solid and obliterate them with the swing of a wrench. No encounter ever plays out the same, and no two gamers will play the game the same way. * Biologically modify your body: send fire storming from your fingertips and unleash a swarm of killer hornets hatched from the veins in your arms. * Hack devices and systems, upgrade your weapons and craft new ammo variants. * Turn everything into a weapon: the environment, your body, fire and water, and even your worst enemies. * Explore an incredible and unique art deco world hidden deep under the ocean.

You are a cast-away in Rapture, an underwater Utopia torn apart by civil war. Caught between powerful forces, and hunted down by genetically modified "splicers" and deadly security systems, you have to come to grips with a deadly, mysterious world filled with powerful technology and fascinating characters. No encounter ever plays out the same, and no two gamers will play the game the same way. BioShock is loaded with some of greatest, most modifiable weapons to ever blast their way into a shooter. But guns alone won't be enough to defeat the devious AIs of Rapture. There are literally hundreds of other strategies players can use to take out his enemies. Here's just a few things you can do a foe: * Catch his Grenades in Mid Air and Toss Them Back at Him * Freeze Him Solid and Shatter Him with Smack of your Wrench * Lead him and his comrades to water and Zap them all with 1000 Volts * Burn Him Up With Home-Made Molotov Cocktails * Booby Trap Healing Machines and Watch Them Blow up IN his Face * Brainwash Him to Become Your Personal BodyGuard * Invent your own Ammo Types to Prey on his Vulnerabilities * Turn his own Security System Against Him * Light Him on Fire and Launch Heat Seeking Missiles At him * Torment Him with Plagues of Insects * Take Research Photos of Him to Learn his Weaknesses * Send Him Flying into the Ceiling to Knock him Senseless No encounter ever plays out the same way twice. No two gamers will ever play BioShock the same way. [2K Games]***In the middle of the north Atlantic, a lighthouse juts out of the water. Inside waits a rusted bathysphere, which takes you deep under the ocean to Rapture, a city sprawling along the sea floor. A man named Andrew Ryan, a former Soviet citizen, built the city in 1946, and the society was envisioned as the ultimate capitalistic and individualist paradise, with the elite achieving for themselves, rather than for the whole. Protected by a network of giant sea walls and consisting of a cluster of enormous skyscraper-shaped hive towers, Rapture was designed to be entirely self-supporting, with all of its electricity, food production, water purification and defense systems powered by volcanic vents at the bottom of the ocean. At one point Rapture's population numbered several thousand at its peak during the early 1960s, composed of those people Ryan viewed as the best examples of mankind. A large and tiered economy grew among the people, with different quality products catering to different levels of the society. The grand Art Deco architecture is at once futuristic and archaic, but as you step into Rapture, you find the city a shell of itself. The walls are crumbling and the ocean is seeping in. The hallways are littered with corpses, those who were once the best and brightest of the world above are now mutated and mad, roaming the corridors and waiting to ambush you at every turn.

| Portal | Valve | 2007 | Todavía recuerdo cuando compré la Orange Box: el plan era pasarse los episodios del Half-Life y después probar, por este orden, el nuevo Team Fortress y ese juego sorpresa llamado Portal. Acabó siendo al revés, este juego (especialmente permanente en las sienes su última cámara de pruebas y los créditos) legendario desde entonces permanece como un favorito, sólo opacado por su aún mejor sucesor. Y esa voz semihumana tan cariñosa es una de los mejores voces de la historia de los videojuegos, probablemente sólo superada en grimilla por The Master de la saga Fallout. En definitiva, devolvió a la luz a los juegos de puzzle y lo demás es historia.

Black Mesa is also mentioned at least twice in Portal itself, as competing research contractor in some presentations and by passing in the ending song.***The game's extremely short (roughly 2 hours for me with initial performance problems, few crashes and several deaths included) but the ending is strangely "rewarding" with the "Still Alive" song sung by GLaDOS.***Portal is a new single player game from Valve. Set in the mysterious Aperture Science Laboratories, Portal has been called one of the most innovative new games on the horizon and will offer gamers hours of unique gameplay. The game is designed to change the way players approach, manipulate, and surmise the possibilities in a given environment; similar to how Half-Life 2's Gravity Gun innovated new ways to leverage an object in any given situation. Players must solve physical puzzles and challenges by opening portals to maneuvering objects, and themselves, through space. Portal is coming in the Fall of 2007 as part of The Orange Box, which also includes Team Fortress 2 and Half-Life 2: Episode Two. The Orange Box will be available for the PC, as well as the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 console systems. | labelimagesubject |
