Arx Fatalis	JoWood Productions (Arkane Studios)	2002	Cast away from the surface of the Earth by the disappearance of the sun, Mankind lived hidden underground in the Fortress of Arx. Humans only have magic left to survive against Ratmen, Dragons and starvation... But a much greater danger is hovering above the world of Arx Fatalis. Lurking in the eternal darkness of the mines, it feeds off the innocent souls of the city. It is not a monster. It is not human. It is pure evil. The adventure has just started, and soon, the fate of Arx, will be in your hands. Arx Fatalis is a medieval heroic fantasy first person role playing game which places the accent on immersion, storyline and innovative magic system. Arx Fatalis is intended for RPG and adventure players. Dive into the universe of Arx Arx Fatalis is an RPG that thrusts the player into an extremely complex fantastic world. Arx Fatalis combines a rich storyline with impressive medieval settings. The easy to use interface results in maximum interaction. The player is in an intense immersion state where he can feel how each one of his actions affects the surrounding world. The goal of the game is to reduce to nothing the cult of Akbaa, God of destruction and Chaos, and thus, prevent him from returning to the physical world. If the player fails, the demon will crush Arx under its rule of blood and terror. The player, assuming the role of potential hero, fights in a large underground fortress, with wood clubs, swords, lances. and many magic artifacts, against the threat of multiple underground creatures (Goblins, Trolls, Ratmen and other vicious creatures.) But rough power is not always the best road to victory. The hero may also use the new "screen magic" to advance. By using the mouse, magic runes have to be drawn and combined on screen in order to create powerful spells that will protect the player or give him the strength to defeat his enemies and to complete his quest. In addition to the fight against demons and monsters, there is also a practically infinite number of interactions with the creatures and objects in the fortress, which enable the player to regain his memory, solve enigmas, and fulfill quests. By accumulating experience points, the player is able to lead his hero and train him any way he wants. Dare to enter the world of Arx Fatalis. Explore the underground cities, secret temples, ancient mine tunnels, discover forgotten civilizations and dominate the magic of Arx Fatalis...*The game may suffer from severe [i]flickering[/i] and depth buffer issues under some circumstances. The actual cause is unknown as it fixed itself and I failed to reproduce it. Bumb mapping used by the game is one of the earliest methods and causes some graphical glitching on at least NV's GPUs (buttons and doorways otherwise revealed by sufficiently high intuition are colored almost pitch black). Therefore it is recommended you disable it. Forcing anti-aliasing causes some text to disappear, the game itself has no anti-aliasing options so this is only reminder not to do it in externally.[b]Minimum:[/b] Windows 98, ME, 2000 or XP * 500 MHz Pentium II CPU * 64 MB RAM * 16 MB VRAM * 750 MB HD space * 4X CD-ROM drive [b]Recommended:[/b] * 900 MHz Pentium III CPU * 256 MB RAM * 32 MB VRAM**Latest version: 1.21 (2011-01-14) Version history: 1.18 (2007-10?)

GISH	Chronic Logic;GarageGames;Halycon Media;My Game Company (Cryptic Sea)	2003	Como todos los juegos de Edmund Mcmullen, tiene una estética bellamente grotesca. Un plataformas interesante, donde manejas una bola de brea enamorada de una chica llamada Brea mientras bajas por las alcantarillas mediante tu habilidad de adherirte a toda superficie, unos cuantos saltos y deslizamientos y chafando todo se te interponga. Muy recomendable, el ser de manejo raro y garrido es una de sus virtudes, además de una gran banda sonora. 7 de 10*[code]2007-07-20[/code] - available via Steam*Life isn't easy when you're a 12 pound ball of tar.

Lugaru: The Rabbit's Foot	Wolfire Games	2005	Lugaru (pronounced Loo-GAH-roo) is the predecessor to Overgrowth. It is a DRM-free, third-person action game available for Mac, Windows, and Linux. The main character, Turner, is an anthropomorphic rebel bunny rabbit with impressive combat skills. In his quest to find those responsible for slaughtering his village, he uncovers a far-reaching conspiracy involving the corrupt leaders of the rabbit republic and the starving wolves from a nearby den. Turner takes it upon himself to fight against their plot and save his fellow rabbits from slavery.***Lugaru source code was released under GPL license on 2010-05-11. This presumably only includes the game engine code and not the artistic assets. For more info, see: [url]http://blog.wolfire.com/2010/05/Lugaru-goes-open-source[/url] Lugaru HD is the same game but includes a fan-made high definition texture pack by Tim Soret which was originally available as a free mod to the game, but was at some point later (2009-05) included in the base game's download as well.

Penumbra tech demo 2007-03-30 UK boxed and online release 2007-05-08 US boxed release 2007-10-04 Released on GameTap 2009-03-06 Released on Steam[b]missing images:[/b] more interesting in-game screens[b]Minimum:[/b] Windows 2000 or XP * 1.5 GHz CPU * 512 MB RAM * 1 GB free HD space * Radeon 8500 or GeForce 3 Ti*Voice-overs are only in English, German and Russian, for all others the voice-overs are in english. Subtitles are in all available languages. Widescreen is only available in resolutions of 1280x~Like all good nightmares, Philip's begins with something all too real - his mother's death. The days following the funeral are characterized by nothing, save for an incessant feeling of abandonment. Until, that is, he receives a letter from a dead man. Philip's father left before he was born, taking his reasons with him. Now, here he is, opening up the door from beyond the grave. That door leads to more questions, and those questions lead to Greenland. Philip follows the clues - they're all he has left. On leaving the final signs of human civilization behind him, in search of the location mentioned in his father's ambiguous notes, Philip wonders if he's left some part of his humanity behind as well. Soon, that will be the least of his fears. Now, Philip needs your help. He's found an inexplicable metal hatch, in the middle of a frozen wasteland. Inside, is something yet more unfathomable. Step into the unknown. Gameplay* Penumbra: Overture is a first person adventure game that focuses on story, immersion and puzzles. Instead of using violence to progress the player has to use his/her wits to guide Philip on his quest to unravel the past. Played from a first person viewpoint, Penumbra is very different from other adventure games. Not only is it powered by a 3D engine utilizing cutting edge technology, it also has an advanced physics system which allow for a never before seen environment interaction. The weapon system differs from your average game; swinging a melee weapon is done using the mouse, which increases the realistic feel of combat. Fighting enemies is not something best done with brute force though, in most situations fighting is a last resort and the player is often better of using his/her wits. The AI of the enemies will also do its best to hunt and scare the player. The creatures encountered can break down doors, use group co-ordination, interact with the physics and more. Penumbra: Overture will keep players on the edge as they have to explore scary and immerse environments never knowing what is behind the next corner. The world is detailed, graphical as well as a story wise making the player feel part of the world as secrets are uncovered. Features * Detailed and atmospheric environments. * State of the art interaction system. * Thrilling blend of puzzles and action. * Dark secrets to be discovered. * Over 8 hours of gameplay.

Aquaria	Bit Blot	2007	A medio caballo entre el Ecco The Dolphin y un Metroidvania, este juego destaca por su atmósfera y por el buen diseño de los niveles, que te seducen para ser explorados. Imprescindible, de banda sonora sublime. 8 de 10*Latest version: 1.1.2 (as of ?)2005. Project started 2007-12-07 by BitBlot (download; non-Steam version) 2008-12-15 by BitBlot through Steam (download; with Steam achievements added)[[youtube:G40cXjcz-9c]]*Minimum: * 1.6 GHz CPU * 256 MB RAM * 200 MB free HD space***A beautiful, hand-crafted 2D adventure Lonely, restless Naija has spent her entire life wrestling with questions about her identity. We join her as she takes her first steps away from the comfort of home and into new, potentially dangerous waters. Through exploration and magical combat, Naija will unearth the history of Aquaria and connect with beings lost in the depths of time. On the search to discover the fate of her people, her destiny and that of Aquaria's will be forever altered. A massive, underwater fantasy world to explore Aquaria is an action-oriented, non-linear 2D side-scrolling game. Using an intuitive and fluid mouse control system, Naija can deftly swim through and explore a massive, handcrafted world that is teeming with undersea life. Along the way, she will encounter literally hundreds of different types of plants and animals and explore many ingame miles of hidden caves, lost ruins, and other strange places. As kids, we grew up playing the brilliant 2D action and roleplaying games of the time. With Aquaria, we've aimed to capture the excitement of those games in a new way, using updated technology, controls, and visuals. This is a game with a very personal touch, from the characters and story to the creature interaction and expansive environments. Seamless, non-linear gameplay In order to make the experience as engaging as possible, we created an interface that lets the player easily control Naija with just a two-button mouse. The HUD is minimal (restricted to only a minimap in the lower-right corner of the screen). In place of textual dialogue that most games rely on we used voice acting to drive the story without interrupting the gameplay. Through a realtime interface, Naija can sing songs and cast spells without going to a menu screen. With practice, these spells can be cast easily to interact with the environment, solve puzzles, or combine them for strategic effect during combat. Certain spells will allow you to change form, creating new ways of playing the game depending on the form chosen. [Bit Blot]
