Ys: The Oath in Felghana  Falcom;XSEED Games (Falcom)2005When redheaded thrill-seeker Adol Christin and his eternal blue-haired companion Dogi make an unannounced visit to Dogi's homeland of Felghana after an eight-year absence, it quickly becomes apparent that things have changed dramatically. Hordes of violent monsters roam the outskirts of town, a long-dormant volcano has suddenly sprung back to life and the new lord of the land has begun mercilessly and inexplicably extorting money from its long-suffering citizens. While Dogi seeks out his former combat master for answers, Adol tends to the townsfolk -- and finds himself embroiled in a world of political conspiracies, ancient legacies and unthinkable taboos.

A complete 3D reimagining of the 16-bit console classic "Ys III: Wanderers From Ys," Ys: The Oath in Felghana is a fast-paced action role-playing game with tight controls, Metroidvania-style exploration elements, intense combat with epic screen-filling boss battles, and a thrashing, percussive arranged soundtrack that's been heralded by many as one of the best of all time. Based on the original 2005 PC release, this classic is finally officially available in English with added Steamworks features such as achievements and cloud saving.

Come see why Falcom fans the world over regard this game as "Ys, Perfected"!

Key Features:
* Six difficulty levels ranging from "Very Easy" for casual players to "Inferno" for true old-school gaming masters.

* Over 30 unique Steam Achievements as well as Steam Cloud support.

Star Wars: Empire at War  LucasArts;Activision (Petroglyph Games)2006EMPIRE AT WAR

Un juego de estregia que mezcla 3 estilos distintos de juego: la vista galáctica, muy del estilo de un juego de tablero, las batallas terrestres, similares al Command and Conquer o al Panzers, y las batallas especiales, como las anteriores pero con particularidades propias.

Aunque ninguno de los 3 modos es genial, la mezcla de ellos y la presencia de 2 bandos muy distintos (además de los piratas) lo convierte en un juego muy completo.

En cuanto a modos de juego, la conquista galáctica es el modo de juego ordinario, con todos los elementos del juego; las escaramuzas son partidas rápidas de combate con reglas un poco distintas a las de las batallas normales y el modo campaña presenta 2 líneas argumentales, una para El Imperio y otra para la Alianza Rebelde, que rellenan con bastante acierto huecos del argumento dejados por las películas.

* 5.1 soundcard***Far Cry 2, the next-generation first-person shooter from Ubisoft, will take you deep into the most beautiful but also most hostile environments in the world: Africa! More than just a visual and technological achievement, Far Cry 2, the true sequel to the award-winning PC game, will provide you with an unprecedented gaming experience.

Caught between two rival factions in war-torn Africa, you are sent to take out "The Jackal", a mysterious character who has rekindled the conflict between the warlords, jeopardizing thousands of lives. In order to fulfil your mission you will have to play the factions against each other, identify and exploit their weaknesses, and neutralise their superior numbers and firepower with surprise, subversion, cunning and, of course, brute force.

OPEN WORLD

The extensive artistic research combined with the next-gen engine will allow you to explore over 50Km2 of seamlessly rendered African landscape. No game has ever provided such freedom of movement!

DUNIA ENGINE

The Dunia Engine was built specifically for Far Cry 2 by the award-winning Ubisoft Montréal development team. It delivers the most realistic destructible environments, amazing special effects such as dynamic fire propagation and storm effects, real-time night-and-day cycle, dynamic music system, non-scripted enemy A.I. and so much more...

REAL-TIME IMMERSION

Real-time story telling, systemic auto-healing, minimal in-game interface are just few of the features that will make you feel the tension of being alone against barbarous warlords that threaten thousands of innocent lives.

WEAPONS OF CHOICE

Choose from a wide range of weapons to make your way to your primary target. Meet the fight head-on with your machine-gun, go berserk with your machete or make stealth kills as a Sniper. If you feel that the atmosphere is not warm enough, light up your flamethrower and let your enemies and everything around them feel the heat.

VEHICLES

Fly, Drive, Run, slide and hover over the huge open world with your glider, trucks, cars, boats and much more.

* This game is too BIG for you 10 huge game worlds with secret areas and side quests, hundreds of objects, weapons and monsters to collect. If you’re a completionist, you’re screwed man.
* Help us make Hell a cleaner place there are 100 unique monsters to exterminate in Hell Yeah! Some are rude, others are really ugly but they all equally deserve to DIE!
