Fallen Earth	Fallen Earth;Gamersfirst (Fallen Earth;Icarus Studios)	2009	It’s 2156, and the world has been destroyed by both nuclear and bio-chemical means. Your story takes place in one of the few habitable places left in the world, the Grand Canyon. As a clone with an uncertain past, your job is survival in a world now built on destruction, betrayal and fragile factional alliances. Explore, harvest and stake your claim to over 1,000 square kilometers of harsh and mysterious terrain. The classless advancement and non-linear gameplay allows you to play the character you want. Join a random dynamic events to capture resources and invade towns, capture and hold a Progress Town, fight through instances, take part in the rich faction backstory, or make a living by selling what you scavenge and craft on the auction house. Fallen Earth gives you the freedom to do exactly as you want. The world may be a shadow of its former self, but there’s no limit to what’s possible for you to accomplish. Key features: * Scavenge, harvest and craft just about anything you can think of. Over 95% of the in-game items are player crafted. * The hybrid real-time combat system gives you the perfect blend of first-person combat and role-playing * Pledge allegiance to one of six factions and take part in the rich backstory that defines the world of Fallen Earth * Completely classless, play the way you want to * Over 1,000 square kilometers to explore * Dynamically occurring events, including invasions and resource cache discoveries mean that there is always something happening***Blood Sports is the subtitle of one of the free expansions/patches for the game, but the the game is also sold as Fallen Earth: Blood Sports.
Mass Effect 2	Electronic Arts (BioWare;EA Montreal)	2010	Recruit. Explore. Control. Two years after Commander Shepard repelled invading Reapers bent on the destruction of organic life, a mysterious new enemy has emerged. On the fringes of known space, something is silently abducting entire human colonies. Now Shepard must work with Cerberus, a ruthless organization devoted to human survival at any cost, to stop the most terrifying threat mankind has ever faced. To even attempt this perilous mission, Shepard must assemble the galaxy’s most elite team and command the most powerful ship ever built. Even then, they say it would be suicide. Commander Shepard intends to prove them wrong. Just like in the previous game, what you say to the other characters matters a great deal. Fortunately, the conversation system has been improved. The camera now pans around characters as they talk to one another to evoke a dramatic, cinematic feel. Also, Shepard can interrupt the conversation when given the appropriate prompt, taking situations into new directions that could help or hinder the mission. Shepard is more customizable than ever, letting you create your ideal lead character — gender, facial features, class, and of course, attitude. Once you embark on missions, you’ll be treated to an improved battle system that lets you target weak points and blast off your enemy’s limbs with a variety of weapons. Set out to lead your team to victory... or die at the hands of The Collectors. Either path is possible in BioWare’s smash hit, Mass Effect 2. Which destiny will you choose?* [100]* [12]*Mejora lo visto en el anterior juego, añade el elemento de la munición y simplifica la exploración de planetas. Nunca "Shepard" dijo tanto 7 de 10Besides removing pretty much everything that was bad about ME1, ME2 has some other improvements besides that. Though I did miss driving with the Mako on the planet with the Thorian, I'm still glad planetary surveys had been simplified to manual scanner sweeps over the old drive around with the Mako till you find something of interest. The game's RPG elements have been simplified, as most weapon skills no longer exist, and the ones that exist are temporary boosts or similar. Biotics were largely unchanged, though some new powers were added. A unique(?) feature was introduced with every single skill branching on the last (fourth) level into two alternatives that give various benefits. Otherwise the game remains largely the same, though there's almost none of the tedious running "quests" ME1 had on the Citadel. The locations you visit are much smaller, but generally speaking more unique. You won't feel like you're visiting the same place for the thousandth time unless you really are. That comes obviously with the cost that there's less optional things to do besides scanning planets for minerals, though I didn't bother to scan any more than was necessary (which probably left well over two thirds of the systems unexplored). To summarize: ME2 is better in almost all aspects I could care about in ME1's sequel, was somewhat amazed at this achievement myself.*[b]Minimum:[/b] Windows XP, Vista or 7 * 1.8 GHz Core 2 Duo CPU * 1 GB RAM * 256 MB VRAM * GeForce 6800 or Radeon X1600 Pro GPU [b]Recommended:[/b] * 2.6 GHz Core 2 Duo CPU * 2 GB RAM * GeForce 8800 GT or Radeon HD 2900 XT GPU
Assassin's Creed II	Ubisoft (Ubisoft Montreal)	2010	Con una gran variedad de misiones secundarias y mucha más exploración, parece mejor que el primer juego. Sin embargo, un Ezio con demasiados cachivaches (o demasiada munición según se mire) y con habilidades de combate demasiado poderosas (como poder bloquear con la hoja oculta) hacen que las misiones se tornen muy asequibles. Además el sigilo no prima tanto como en el primer juego. 7 de 10*Deluxe Edition adds 3 maps: Palazzo Medici, Santa Maria Dei Frari, and the Arsenal Shipyard. Ad speech mentions secret treasures and nothing else. Unknown if this means simply florins or actual equipment.Undefined game-play elements: blending in with the crowd, hiring prostitutes (or others?) to serve as cover (controllable crowd) or to distract those who'd wish you harm.**Continues Desmond Miles' story right where it ended in the first game, even if Altair is no longer his alter ego inside the Animus.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim	Bethesda Softworks (Bethesda Game Studios)	2011	Special Edition does little else than overhaul the graphics a little bit and bundle all the DLC, biggest change is moving from 32 bit to 64 bit but this does not change the game. Mod compatibility between the two versions is a bit vague.*Otro juegazo de rol por parte de Bethesda, con un mapa para explorar más inmenso que nunca. Sin embargo, el juego si que peca de elementos que lo alejan demasiado del rol, como un argumento demasiado lineal (a pesar de las ramificaciones, el final es idéntico), los personajes invencibles (algo insufrible y que desgraciadamente comparte con el Fallout 3) y sobre todo un sistema de leveo carente de especialización real (sólo es cuestión de estar tiempo para tener al mago-guerrero-asesino perfecto).

Subvein: Mutant Factions	-	2012
Jagged Alliance: Back in Action	Kalypso Media (Coreplay)	2012	Jagged Alliance Back in Action is a contemporary remake of the latest title in the much-loved Jagged Alliance series of turn-based mercenary-themed strategy games. Designed from the ground up to offer a modern gaming experience, Back in Action showcases an updated isometric 3D look and interface, highly detailed character models and a variety of new gameplay features. Back in Action takes players to the fictitious country of Arulco, where a ruthless dictator has seized power and only a small group of rebels stand to resist him. Tasked with freeing the island from the dictator’s iron grip, players will command rebel and mercenary forces while using tactical, diplomatic and economic tools to keep troops supplied and ready for the next flight, all while commanding them directly in nail-biting battles. Back in Action’s innovative "plan & go" combat system combines real-time strategy (RTS) with turn-based elements to guarantee that the intricacies of tactical warfare are rendered in dynamic, exciting gameplay. This challenges would-be commanders to master not only strategy and tactical combat, but also to maximize their team’s capabilities through RPG-like character advancement. Key features: * Unrivaled mix of combat (tactics), roleplay, business and strategy * Innovative "Plan & Go" combat system combines RTS gameplay with turn-based elements * Realistic war setting with authentic-looking firearms * Laptop/computer menu as a central anchor point for the player * Assemble your own unit of mercenaries from numerous unique mercenaries * Simultaneous control of multiple squads using a strategic map * Convincing characters who interact with and comment on the game events * All the dialog has audio * Acquire resources by capturing mines and encampments
Aliens: Colonial Marines	Sega (Gearbox Software;TimeGate Studios;Nerve Software)	2013	Has been received extremely poorly, here's few things that go over why: * [url]http://www.destructoid.com/so-who-the-hell-did-make-aliens-colonial-marines--244939.phtml[/url] * [url]http://www.destructoid.com/gearbox-lied-about-aliens-from-e3-demo-to-retail-product-244966.phtml[/url] * [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lGXDM3LGnk[/url]***For any Aliens fans, this game will be horribly disappointing. Despite the gratuitous fanservice from including LV-426, Hadley's Hope, Sulaco, the Derelict and its dead Jockey pilot, Hicks, and various other things from the movies, this game utterly fails to deliver on the atmosphere of the films. Alien acidic blood is only a minor annoyance, player can trivially fight the aliens in melee, the aliens themselves seem incredibly lazy, the way player can carry ~10 different weapons with separate ammo for each, extremely linear locations, and whatever else make this feel unsatisfying when you come to it expecting a proper Aliens game. The license seems almost wasted on it considering how much they deviate from what fans of the franchise would expect. If they had made this a game with no ties to Aliens franchise it would've probably been half-decent, but as it is, it fails to be what it is supposed to be. The graphics are the main point where this actually is quite good at, though for PC game they're kinda low fidelity, but nothing you wouldn't expect from a game that's published on the usual platform trio (X360/PS3/PC). To summarize: fans of the Alien franchise, keep away. People who don't care for the franchise on the other hand, this can work as a mediocre tube shooter.
