Grand Theft Auto 2	Take 2 Interactive (Rockstar Games)	1999	Grand Theft Auto is back. The cars are faster. The streets are busier. The bad guys are nastier. The police are angrier. And now, the FBI and the Army are getting involved... Seven ruthless gangs are involved in a ruthless power struggle and it is up to you to make a name for yourself. Respect is earned, not given.* [100]* [84]* [53]Aunque se nota un cierto intento de hacer el juego más serio y con una cierta campaña con respecto al anterior juego, apenas se diferencia en su estilo arcade basado en misiones por teléfono, aunque si que es cierto que el manejo a pie es infinitamente mejor. 5 de 10**This formerly commercial game has been released as freeware at some point and is available [[link:http://www.rockstargames.com/classics/ here]].

Grand Theft Auto III	Take 2 Interactive (DMA Design)	2002	Stealing Cars Just Isn't Enough Any More - Respect Is Everything! Twenty minutes into the future, and the city's a changed place. It's darker. Dirtier. Meaner. The police are fighting back, and the army might just be lending a hand, Or a tank. And there's not just one Mr Big these days, friend, there's seven. If you want to get anywhere, you're going to need to get noticed. Get noticed and maybe you'll get somewhere. Maybe you'll get rich. Maybe you'll get dead. Grand Theft Auto is back! Set in an eerily familiar, yet futuristic, dark and vast metropolis, you play the role of a lone gunman who is out of cash, out of luck and definitely operates outside the law. Law and order is breaking down. The city has been carved up by ruthless gangs and crime syndicates leaving the police and government to fight an even tougher war to wash scum like you from the city streets. However, the city is yours for the taking if you have the guts and the brains. You start your quest with a car jacking a simple yet, effective crime otherwise known as Grand Theft Auto. Once you take your pick from the thousands of vehicles jamming the dirty city streets, you are on your way to becoming King of the City. There are two ways you can accomplish this feat - find a gang willing to employ your sorry butt or use your ruthless cunning to set the gangs at each other's throats with you wiping out the last few survivors.*You've been betrayed and left for dead. Now you're taking revenge, unless the city gets you first. Mob bosses need a favor, crooked cops need help, and street gangs want you dead. You'll have to rob, steal, and kill just to stay out of serious trouble. Anything can happen out here. Grand Theft Auto III features a fully 3-D living city, a combination of narrative-driven and nonlinear gameplay, and a completely open environment.Players are put at the heart of their very own gangster movie, in which anything can happen and probably will. With a cast of hundreds, 50-plus vehicles--including sports cars, ice-cream trucks, boats, and buses--three hours of music, (including opera, reggae, house, drum and bass, pop, and disco), a huge array of street-ready weapons, and some of the seediest characters in video game history, Grand Theft Auto III is a sprawling epic that will show you that sometimes crime can pay, and that sometimes it pays you back.*El boom de los GTA empezó con este juego por algo. Aunque el Vice City es un juego más pulido que este, Liberty City ofrece uno de los mejores sandbox de la historia. El iniciador de una época de sandbox. Imprescindible. 8 de 10
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City	Rockstar Games (Rockstar North)	2003	Un clásico, mejora con creces todo lo visto en el GTA III 8 de 10
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas	Take 2 Interactive;Rockstar Games (Rockstar North)	2005	Bastante más alocado que el resto de la franquicia, y con elementos interesantes robados a Maxis y a Ensemble Studios como hacerte un Super Size Me y talar madera. Bonus: puedes ser un gangsta en una bicicleta robada mientras llevas chancletas. Muy recomendable, muy buen juego, además de bastante cómico en comparación de otras entregas más "serias" de la saga. 8 de 10

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.

Star Wars The Clone Wars: Republic Heroes	LucasArts (Krome Studios)	2009	Star Wars The Clone Wars: Republic Heroes lets Star Wars fans young and old live out the sweeping galactic adventures of the Clone Wars. For the first time ever, players can fight as their favourite Jedi and clone troopers from the pre-eminent animated television series - from familiar faces like Anakin Skywalker to new heroes like Clone Captain Rex. A brand-new storyline, which bridges the gap between season one and two, takes the player on a multi-faceted adventure to stop a mysterious techno assassin's destructive plot. Built around two-player cooperative action, the accessible controls and family-friendly gameplay bring Star Wars fans across generations together like never before to fight the evil Separatists and restore peace to the galaxy. Play as your favourite Jedi heroes including Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Ahsoka Tano, Mace Windu, and Kit Fisto. Slice and dice your way through Separatist droids with your lightsaber and Force powers and use your agility to perform amazing leaps and navigate levels filled with interactivity.

Blast droids and unleash devastation with heavy weapons like rocket launchers and thermal detonators as Commander Cody, Captain Rex and all of your favourite clone troopers. Compete against a friend with in-level challenges for rewards and points to be spent to upgrade your character and unlock bonus items.*I don't think losing is possible in this game. Death only puts you out of combat for 5-10 seconds and you're back in action, auto regen also makes sure you have full health when entering new battles. Not even both characters dying seems to do anything significant. This is helpful though, as some actions are occasionally ridiculously difficult to pull off despite how simple they are. The game also capitalizes on context actions, so there isn't generally a wealth of actions available at all times.[b]Playable characters:[/b] Anakin Skywalker * Obi-Wan Kenobi * Ahsoka Tano * Mace Windu * Kit Fisto * Aayla Secura * Luminara Unduli * Plo Koon. * Captain Rex * Commander Cody * Commander Gree * Ponds * Commander Bly * Private Switch * Sergeant Boomer * Sergeant Kano**[b]Minimum:[/b] Windows XP or Vista * 3 GHz Pentium IV or Athlon XP 3000+ CPU * 1 GB RAM (2 GB for Vista) * 256 MB VRAM * Radeon X1600 or GeForce 7300 GS GPU * 5.1 GB HD space***[b]cartoon[/b] - ties together the first and second season of [url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0458290/]The Clone Wars[/url] cartoon.

Men of War: Assault Squad 2	1C Company (DigitalMindSoft)	2014	Men of War: Assault Squad 2 features new single player style skirmish modes that take players from extreme tank combat to deadly sniper stealth missions. Commanders can now faceoff against opponents on various new multiplayer 1v1 – 4v4 maps. To truly bring the battles to life though there is the new extreme game mode designed for huge battles on spectacular maps. This new Assault Squad game brings significant game engine and visual improvements as well, with special attention paid to ones that were highly requested by the players. [Steam Store]***While it seems more a remake of the original Men of War: Assault Squad than a new installment, it is a really good game and improves a lot multiplayer matches and mod integration. A great mix of RTS tactical squad action and warfare simulation with a great balance between manual control/micromanagement and IA control/given orders, and so hard than even a itsy bitsy error may probe fatal to the mission. Also, its focused in vehicular and artillery weapons in comparition to another MoW games. 6 of 10 P.S.: Is kind of buggy, even in safe mode.
