Supreme Commander	THQ (Gas Powered Games)	2007	Three opposing sides - the Cybran Nation, the Aeon Illuminate and the United Earth Federation - have been fighting in the Infinite War all across the galaxy, spreading chaos and unrest. You are a Supreme Commander and you have to take one of the sides and put an end to this war. As in most strategy games, you have to build up a base, gather resources and build armies to fight off your enemies. But being created by Chris Taylor of Total Annihilation fame, the RTS also has many unique features, such as a huge unit cap of 500 units per side, different resource management, queue up commands and waypoints, diverse unit types and even dual screen support. Players can play through the Campaign and carry on the story as one of the sides, or fight off computer enemies in Skirmish and human opponents in Multiplayer.* [100]* [12]*Latest version: 1.1.3280 (as of ?)For 1-8 players, with teams or in FFA.

Symbiont	Buka Entertainment (Targem Games)	2008	[b]Minimum:[/b] * Windows XP or Vista * 2.8 GHz Pentium IV or Athlon XP 2800+ CPU * 512 MB RAM * Radeon 9600 Pro GPU [b]Recommended:[/b] * 1 GB RAM***What we saw in the movies finally happened. Science-fiction became reality and everybody could see how huge spaceships landed over the main capitals of the world. Aliens attacked at once, killing millions of humans in mere seconds. The governments of the Earth answered to the attack with nuclear weaponry, in a desperate movement for destroying the aliens, at the cost of the planet itself. The aliens survived, the Earth became a wasteland, and the sewers, the subway and the basements became the only havens for the remains of humans, which gathered into small groups and gangs in order to survive. The Swarm is a 3D adventure game, full of action on 3rd view where the player will face the challenge of surviving in a wasted Moscow that shows the scars of the alien attack, defending himself from the attacks of other humans looking for a piece of food, and from the dangerous aliens. Key Features: • The main character, though starting as a normal human, will be able to assimilate alien skills and characteristics, that will make him more and more powerful to defend himself, though at the cost of his humanity and mental sanity. Develop your character as you wish, choose the alien skills freely, or keep him free of them and focus on the weaponry. • Face huge enemies and bosses, tall as a building which can kill you with a single hit. • Real Moscow shown, under the effects of the alien catastrophe... Fight in the demolished Red Square... defend yourself at the doors of the Kremlin of a 50m-tall alien. [Buka]
Homefront	THQ;Spike (Kaos Studios;Digital Extremes)	2010	The year is 2027. The world as we know it is unraveling after fifteen years of economic meltdown and widespread global conflict over dwindling natural resources. A once proud America has fallen, her infrastructure shattered and military in disarray. Crippled by a devastating EMP strike, the USA is powerless to resist the ever expanding occupation of a savage, nuclear armed Greater Korean Republic. Abandoned by her former allies, the United States is a bleak landscape of walled towns and abandoned suburbs.

Serious Sam 3: BFE	Devolver Digital (Croteam)	2011	Un juego de acción sin ralentí, muy juego de los 90', aunque peca un poco de tardar en otrogar las armas y un meelee más satisfactorio. 6 de 10*BFE presumably stands for Before First Encounter.Serious Sam 3: BFE is a glorious throwback to the golden age of first-person shooters where men were men, cover was for amateurs and pulling the trigger made things go boom.

Iron Brigade	Microsoft Studios (Double Fine Productions)	2012	Includes the Rise of the Martian Bear DLC.
FTL: Faster Than Light	Subset Games	2012	Un gran juego de exploración y combate especial, donde la elección de mejoras y decisiones (dónde viajar, ciertas opciones en dentro de los sistemas) es clave y brutalmente inclemente a los errores, por muy inesperados que sean. Aunque brilla en su apartado de lucha, hubiese estado bien algunas opciones más pacíficas (rescates de naves, aterrizaje en planetas, diplomacia), ya que casi todas tus acciones están enfocadas o en luchar o en mejorar tu nave para el combate (una nave huidiza o sigilosa no es tan buena opción como un arsenal con reactores), que posiblemente le hubiesen dado algo más de variedad y encanto al juego (que si presenta situaciones como lluvias de asteroides o rescates, pero casi siempre con un enfoque como variación del campo de batalla) 7 de 10***[media=vimeo]47066972[/media]
