| Half-Life | Sierra On-Line (Valve) | 1998 | [100]*** [12]*** [84]***Half-Life Deathmatch: Source is a recreation of the first multiplayer game set in the Half-Life universe. Features all the classic weapons and most-played maps, now running on the Source engine. (Source standalone multiplayer/deathmatch mode)***Winner of over 50 Game of the Year awards, Half-Life set new standards for action games when it was released in 1998. Half-Life: Source is a digitally remastered version of the critically acclaimed and best selling PC game, enhanced via Source technology to include physics simulation, enhanced effects, and more. (Source Remake Half-Life)***Named Game of the Year by over 50 publications, Valve's debut title blends action and adventure with award-winning technology to create a frighteningly realistic world where players must think to survive. Also includes an exciting multiplayer mode that allows you to play against friends and enemies around the world. (GoldSrc Half-Life)*** [53]***The gifted son of the love triangle between Wolf3, Doom and Quake. Having a Steam account without Half-Life is as absurd as a Spanish omelet without eggs or potatoes. Absolutely essential, recommended therapy against claustrophobia, arachnophobia, boredom and addiction to Wolverine clone shooters. It is recommended not to touch the microwave. Valve's greatest masterpiece to date. 10 out of 10***There's two versions of this game (also of Blue Shift and Opposing Force) out, one uses the original GoldSrc engine, and another which was ported to the newer Source engine with very few (barely notable) changes to how the game appears or works.***[b]Minimum:[/b] * Windows 95, 98 or NT4 * 133 MHz Pentium CPU * 24 MB RAM * Mouse * Keyboard***Listed as Game of the Year by nearly all (if not all) of the major gaming publications, this first person shooter is excellently done. From the gripping story, to the wonderfully scripted AI, this game will have even hard core gamers coming back for more. Many people complain about the late game "jumping torture" areas, but all in all this is a wonderfully designed game that raises the bar for all games to come. Also, it offers a graphics and AI engine that is hugely editable, allowing a vast number of Single Player and Multiplayer mods. To date, no game has matched its appeal or sales figures: and still it tops nearly every list of games. | labelimagesubject |
| Ys: The Oath in Felghana | Falcom;XSEED Games (Falcom) | 2005 | When 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. * Unlockable "Time Attack" and "Boss Rush" modes for anyone looking to show off his/her boss-taming abilities. * Over 30 unique Steam Achievements as well as Steam Cloud support. * Adjustable high-resolution PC graphics with original blood effects intact. * Gamepad support in addition to standard keyboard and mouse controls. | labelimagesubject |
| Star Wars: The Force Unleashed | LucasArts;Aspyr Media (LucasArts;Aspyr Studios) | 2009 | Un hack and slash con un cierto enfoque más variado y plataformero, ya que aunque los combos existen y tu personaje no es precisamente débil, no consiste en machacar botones hasta llegar a los 3 dígitos. El uso del entorno y su destrucción es su fuerte, ya que generas cuantiosas pérdidas materiales allá por donde pasas a base de empujones y tirones. Si que se me hace algo raro lo del sable como un objeto contundente más, y estaría bien que se pudiese cambiar de guardia. 7 de 10***Only released as the Ultimate Sith Edition for Windows.***[b]Minimum:[/b] * Windows XP, Vista or 7 * 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo or Athlon X2 5200+ CPU * 2 GB RAM (and 1 GB swap file¹) * 256 MB VRAM * Radeon HD 2900 or GeForce 8600 GPU * 30 GB HD space [b]Recommended:[/b] * 2.8 GHz Core 2 Duo or Athlon X2 6000+ CPU * 512 MB VRAM * GeForce 9800 GT GPU ¹) game refuses to start without swap file | labelimageminimize |
| Avatar | Ubisoft (Ubisoft Montreal) | 2009 | Seriously, anyone playing this game should NOT map [i]use key[/i] to [i]space bar[/i] like I always do. The space is hard-mapped to skip dialog and with use mapped to it (the same key that initiates the dialog), you'll miss >99% of the dialogs, makes a rather empty game and if not for the objective marker, you'd be completely lost.***[b]bioroids[/b] - the human-Na'vi hybrid remote controlled hosts (Avatars) [b]magic[/b] - although the movie makes anything even slightly mystical have some scientific sounding answer (although still quite fantastic), the game incorporates elements (not seen or even hinted in the movie) that are impossible to explain away as such (many of the "skills"). [b]upgrade system[/b] - hidden behind the conquest minigame. [b]no children[/b] - although this makes sense for the RDA, the Na'vi villages, especially the hometree, are oddly devoid of children. [spoiler=Show spoiler tag descriptions;Hide][b]human / bioroid protagonist[/b] - early on the player is given choice to side with RDA or the Na'vi, later events also make the latter (and likely former) choice quite permanent, the former obviously bars out any use of the Avatar as they were intended mostly for diplomatic reasons, while the latter occurs as an accident of sorts where the original host body of the protagonist dies and the Na'vi use their pseudo-magical religion to transfer the protagonist's consciousness permanently into the Avatar.[/spoiler] Na'vi specific: bows, crossbows, riding, melee weapons, summoning RDA specific: all firearms (except machineguns), driving (and all vehicles), hostile flora, ammo magazines, flamethrowers, g.launchers, infinigun (the dual pistols)***[b]Minimum:[/b] * Windows XP, Vista or 7 * 3.2 GHz Pentium IV, 2.66 GHz Pentium D, Athlon 64 3500+ or Athlon 64 X2 5200+ CPU * 1 GB RAM * 256 MB VRAM * 4 GB HD space [b]Recommended:[/b] * 2 GB RAM * 512 MB VRAM***North, Central and South America 2009-12-01 by Ubisoft ?? 2009-12-03 by Ubisoft EU? 2009-12-04 by Ubisoft (lang: eng, fre, ger, ita, spa) - includes Tages copy protection with "3 machine activation limit"***Based on the [url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0499549/]movie[/url] by James Cameron by the same name. | labelimagesubject |
| The Precursors | Russobit-M;Game Factory Interactive (Deep Shadows) | 2009 | There's an unofficial patch for the western release that replaces a lot of the sounds with the ones from Russian release (also thus "adding" voices [rather, restoring their Russian voice-overs] for all characters rather than only very few of them) as well as fixing certain issues. This patch is also available [url=http://www.beamdog.com/products/the-precursors-fan-improvement-pack]as free DLC[/url] on Beamdog in case you got the game from them.***Precursors, predecessors, the legend of the galaxy... Who among the existing races are carrying their genes? The worlds of the galaxy are beautiful, unique and dangerous. Some of them are inhabited, some are deserted, some lie in ruins, others are just smugglers trans-shipment stations. Some worlds are at the beginning of their evolution, other are falling into decay. Only when you'll pass through all of these worlds, when you'll feel the heat of blazing lava-seas and the chilling cold of dark abysses, when you'll see stark heavens and red skies, you will realize the real power of nature. Only when you'll meet corrupt judges, mendacious politicians, unselfish protectors and cruel tyrants, you'll understand the passions of society. Only when you'll reach unexplored sectors of the galaxy and come across wonderful natural phenomenons, when you'll fly through the tail of a comet or dive into a mysterious portal, then you'll perceive the infinite depth and diversity of the universe. Nobody knows what exactly this journey will comprise, but we can assure you that it will be unforgettable... "Precursors" is a new project of Deep Shadows. The game action takes place in space and on the surface of various planets. The genre of the game is freeplay RPG with FPS and space sim combat elements. "Precursors" and "White Gold: War In Paradise" are developed using the Vital Engine 3. It has shader 3.0 support and features various post rendering effects like HDR, motion blur and others. In comparison with the Vital Engine 2 the physics system has been improved and moreover, two of the main features of the engine are destructible objects, which will be found everywhere in the games, and support of one huge unified playing area. You will fight your enemies in space as well as on the surface of various planets. You will be able to work for different factions and carry out their quests to earn money, which is quite essential for your hero. The money will give you the opportunity to buy new weapons, make technical upgrades or repair your damaged spaceship. You can explore a planet's surface using a wide choice of different vehicles, but in space you will use only one ship which will be given to you at the beginning of the game. RPG stats will allows you to upgrade not only the personal characteristics of your hero but the technical abilities of your spaceship as well. [Deep Shadows] | labelimagesubject |

| Bastion | Warner Bros. Interactive (Supergiant Games) | 2011 | Una estética muy interesante, un narrador SOBERBIO y una jugabilidad que recuerda a un intermedio entre un 2D y un 3D del Legend of Zelda, aunque con un gran enfoque en tener un inventario muy limitado (2 armas y una habilidad) y saber aprovechar sus ventajas y compensar sus debilidades, cambiando completamente la forma de juego (desde ser completamente cuerpo a cuerpo hasta sólo poder atacar a distancia) Tremendamente recomendable. 9.5 de 10 "...ain't so simple with this one"***[b]Bastion[/b] is an action role-playing experience that redefines storytelling in games, with a reactive narrator who marks your every move.
