Heretic II	Activision (Raven Software)	1998	Un auténtico juegazo de acción, con un inventario de armas y hechizos de lo más pintoresco y un grandísimo multijugador. 7 de 10*Corvus finally returns home from where ever D'sparil had sent him with his dying curse, only to find his people ravaged by madness and disease.Latest version: 1.06 Enhancement Pack (as of ?)During the development of Portal of Praevus, Raven Software worked feverishly to lay the groundwork for yet another revolutionary action game: Heretic II. Based on Id Software's Quake II engine, Heretic II successfully blended first-person shooter action with a third-person camera to create an entirely new game genre. This new perspective on the Heretic/HeXen universe was the biggest critical success in Raven Software's storied history. With dozens of awards and numerous accolades, Heretic II showed the world that third-person action games could be fun and intuitive, while it solidified Raven's reputation as one of the industry's top game developers. The game was published by Activision Inc. and released to the public in 1998. Heretic II was one of the last 3-D action games to ship with fully playable co-operative gameplay. Heretic II has since inspired a new generation of third-person action game development...a testament to the groundbreaking impact of the title. [Raven]*Raven Software once again showes that they know how to make a game with Heretic II. It takes place along the lines of the original Heretic (Doom engine). You finally make it home after your odreal with the first of three serpent riders (The second and third are in the Hexen series), only to find it ravaged by a plague. As you go dig deeper into finding a cure, you yourself become infected, and find out most of the world is as well. This game features the Quake 2 engine, and has amazing graphics (espically for weapon and spell effects). However, Raven took a challenge with a 3rd person only point of view, which some do not like. Personally, I think this is a great game.

The Witcher	Atari;CD Projekt (CD Projekt RED)	2007	Andrzej Sapkowski, the creator of the Witcher universe, stated that he would not play the game since he has no interest in video games in general. However, he praised the game's opening cinematic, which (partially) tells the story of Sapkowski's very first short story, called simply Witcher (Wiedźmin). The Polish version of the game also comes with this short story.*The original (Polish) version of the game features some allusions to the Polish national-conservative party Law and Justice (Polish: Prawo i Sprawiedliwość). The party's name is mentioned by NPCs in the game in connection with corruption and discrimination against non-humans. Also at some point Geralt may dismiss an NPC saying "Spieprzaj, dziadu!" (approximately "Piss off, old man!"). The cofounder of Law and Justice and president (at the time the game was released) of Poland Lech Kaczyński once famously said those words to a heckler.Un juego curioso, ya que su manejo e historía son de corte clásico (control en combate "por turnos", inventario complejo e historia de decisiones vinculantes) Algo complejo de manejar de primeras, pero de todas formas una gran adaptación de las novelas del Tolkien del este. 8 de 10Latest version: 1.5.0.1304 (as of 2009-07-31) There's also a separate patch ("[url=http://www.thewitcher.com/community/en/news/920.html]Director's Cut[/url]") that restores the North American version to the same uncensored level that the original European release is. Works on any version from Enhanced Edition onwards.Although the game has endurance meter, this is only used for casting the magic signs and therefore not eligible for [url=/groups/info/stamina]stamina/endurance[/url] tagging.Chinese is the only one without voice-overs in that language, all the others have both voice-overs and subtitles.[b]Enhanced Edition comes with:[/b] Game disc * Game guide * Manual * Soundtrack CD * CD with music inspired by The Witcher * Bonus game content disc (adventure editor and two new adventures) * Behind the scenes DVD * Hard copy of "The Witcher" story by Andrzej Sapkowski * World map**[b]Minimum:[/b] Windows XP SP2 or Vista * Pentium 4 2.4 GHz or Athlon 64 +2800 * 1 GB RAM (1.5 GB for Vista) * 128 MB VRAM * 8.5 GB free HD space [b]Recommended:[/b] * Core 2 Duo 2.13 GHz or Athlon X2 5600+ * 2 GB RAM * GeForce 7900 GTX or Radeon X1950 PRO Those with less than the min specs need to run the game with [code]-dontForceMinReqs[/code] command-line option passed to the game or it'll refuse to run (though I'd imagine it's quite unplayable for them at some points).

The censoring (in NA release) is associated with all the instances where you have sex with the gals. This shows only a very scantily clad art piece of the person and nothing else, so it isn't really that explicit even. More like extremely suggestive. The art pieces were re-touched to make them more modest (such as bare breasts being covered). The dryad NPC was made to have more cover as well in-game (the dryad is fully nude in European releases, though the textures are blurry and don't show any great detail). The Enhanced Edition is available for free as downloadable update for the owners of the original, although it is worth 909 MB of data so expect it to take a while.**The Witcher represents the pinnacle of storytelling in role-playing games, shattering the line between good and evil with a world where moral ambiguity reigns. In a beautiful, rich game universe created by artists first, technology second, the player becomes his own hero in an epic, action-packed narrative uniquely defined by his actions. Returning to the roots of the role-playing genre with a fresh and modern approach, The Witcher emphasizes story and character development in a vibrant world, while incorporating tactically-deep real-time combat like no game before it. Immersed in a vivid but harsh fantasy world, the player assumes the role of a white-haired witcher named Geralt, a renowned monster-slayer-for-hire and master swordsman with superhuman strength and reflexes. While trying to regain his lost memory, Geralt unwillingly becomes involved in a world-shaking power struggle. Created to provide entertainment for both fans of role-playing games and those seeking fast-paced action, The Witcher brings together epic storytelling and dynamic, visually stunning, and tactically deep action. Characteristics: Geralt of Rivia: a one-of-a-kind protagonist * A charismatic and unique character, Geralt is a mutant swordmaster and professional monster slayer. * Choose from over 250 special abilities correlated to attributes, combat skills and magical powers to build the character in a way best suited to tactical needs and style of play. * Original fantasy world drawn from literature * Inspired by the writings of renowned Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski. * Featuring adult themes, less fairy-tale than typical fantasy, with mature social issues like racism, political intrigue and genocide. * It is a harsh world where nothing is black or white, right or wrong, often forcing players to choose between the lesser of two evils to advance. * Non-linear and captivating storyline * Full of turns, twists and ambiguous moral decisions which have real impact on the storyline. * All quests can be accomplished in several ways and the game has three different endings depending on the player's actions and choices throughout the adventure. * Visually stunning tactical action * Engage in complex yet intuitive real-time combat based on real medieval sword-fighting techniques. * Motion capture performed by medieval fighting experts at Frankfurt's renowned Metric Minds studio, resulting in 600 spectacular and authentic in-game combat animations. * Six combat styles, dozens of potions, complex alchemy system, modifiable weapons and powerful magic add tactical depth to the fluid real-time experience. [Atari]**The Game „The Witcher" returns to the tradition of the role-playing genre with a fresh and modern approach, emphasizing story and character development in a vibrant world, while incorporating spectacular and well developed combat system like no game before it. The story is set in the world described in five books - giving additional credibility and depth of the background of the story. The game features the player as a „Witcher", a warrior who has been trained to fight since childhood, subjected to mutations and trials that transformed him. He earns his living killing monsters and is a member of a brotherhood founded long ago to protect people from werewolves, the undead, and a host of other beasts. The Vision Our vision of the game can be described as: A modern story-driven RPG with unique hero, stunning visuals and easy-to-use, yet complex combat system. Perfect both for fans of storytelling and admirers of vigorous action. Main Features Deep and intriguing storyline Interesting story full of twists and turns in a complex and coherent setting. * Most quests can be accomplished in several ways. * Three different endings that depend on player's actions and choices throughout the whole adventure. Dynamic and visually spectacular action * Real time combat with motion captured animations performed by a master of medieval sword combat. * Ragdoll and rigid body physics, powered by Criterion's Karma Engine to simulate interaction with opponents as well as elements of surrounding. Original character concept and fantasy world * The main character is a professional swordmaster and monster slayer. * Game world which is more „adult" and less „fairy-tale" than typical fantasy. * The world which is not black and white and is inhabited by believable characters. Easy to use * Thanks to transparent and intuitive controls, players are able to enjoy the game right after beginning without a long learning curve. During the game the complexity of the system will be gradually uncovered. * All actions can be done using the mouse only, however shortcuts for all of them are fully configurable. [CD Projekt]

Spectromancer	Three Donkeys (Apus Software)	2008	In Spectromancer, an online fantasy card game, players participate in a magical duel against other mages by strategically summoning creatures and casting spells. Each mage uses five magical elements during a duel - Fire, Water, Air and Earth, plus a fifth related to the specific mage type.

Sexy Demon Transformation!	Softhouse-Seal;MangaGamer (Softhouse-Seal;Devil-seal)	2011	My name is Ashiya Yamato. I'm an exorcist genius whose job is to cleanse demons. It's not something that can be revealed to the outside world, though, so no one knows. With the spread of civilization, demons have shrunk in size and are as dangerous as insects, but I have containers in which I can collect them... because I have been dishonored! You, Asuka, have dared to snatch the position of Boss, the greatest leader of exorcists, from that of should have belonged to - me! It doesn't matter. I'll recover what was stolen from me. The possession abilities obtained by demons, and the demonic cleansing powers of exorcists - once combined, nothing is impossible! That's right, with a myriad of monsters under my command, I'll have no problem ravaging Asuka! Once she's pregnant, her spiritual power will be reduced, and she'll fall from the position of leader!***The protagonist Yamato, an onmyouji (exorcist) who has befriended youkai, decides to prevent his childhood friend Asuka from becoming the next boss of the onmyouji organization because of her zealous habit of exterminating every youkai she encounters in order to become the next boss himself to pave peace between onmyouji and youkai. The plan involves impregnating Asuka, but for some reason he decides he needs to accomplish this by raping her repeatedly while posing as various youkai via "possessing" them (fusing with them).

Magic: The Gathering - Duels of the Planeswalkers 2012	Wizards of the Coast (Stainless Games)	2011
E.Y.E: Divine Cybermancy	Streum On Studio	2011	Un juego de acción que parece una versión futurista del barroco de Los Austrias mezclada con elementos orientales, se presenta como una mezcla de FPS clásico con personalización, habilidades, conversaciones e inventario de RPG. Campaña muy sólida, misiones secundarias variadas que añaden rejugabilidad y un multijugador muy entretenido. Pena que el interfaz sea algo lento, porque por lo demás es un auténtico juegazo. 8 de 10*Without having played the game, it gives off similar feel to Anachronox, Cybermage and especially Shadowrun (the P&P game, not the botched MP game based on it). Seems to have some Chinese and Gothic influences in designs.As a member of the strange secret society E.Y.E, you wake up after a fight in which your fellow teammates were killed. E.Y.E, an armed branch of the Secreta Secretorum is attempting a coup against the all-powerful Federation, a coalition of several worlds and planets that rule with an iron fist. To complicate matters, E.Y.E itself is plagued with its own internal conflicts between the Jian faction and the Culter faction, to which you belong. Your loyalties are torn between Commander Rimanah, your superior and the chief of the Secreta who is a separatist with an unstoppable ambition, and the "Mentor" your friend and instructor. The "Mentor" tries at all costs to unite the two rival factions. In doing so, you are thrust into the middle of a fratricidal war frought with political conspiracies and quests for power in which different groups and megacorporations are implicated. These troubles set the stage for an attack by an unknown force bent on destroying humankind. Key features: Multiplayer co-op modes directly influence solo play, and vice-versa. The limits of solo and multiplayer games are finally left behind. * Psychological and mental trauma management. * 25 weapons, different shooting modes, dynamic precision, drilling shots, iron sighting, extended zoom. * Complete hacking system with game play impact * 9 devastatingly subtle PSI powers. * More than 20 NPC with non-scripted, fully reactive and efficient AI, endowed with a sense of initiative. Bloody close combat with technical detail. Incredible physical movement realism thanks to Source Engine physics. * Excellent replayability - primary and secondary missions, dynamic environments, non-linear level progression, and random NPC spawn, type and appearance. Death doesn't penalize players: no need to restart the current mission. * Open-level gameplay for hours of fun without reloading.
Orcs Must Die!	Robot Entertainment	2011	Grandísimo juego de defensa de punto, que mezcla elementos de juego de acción con tower defense. De estilo desenfadado y absurdo, terriblemente divertido, es un juego muy inmersivo y rejugable a más no poder. Su único problema es que se ve opacado por su sucesor, mejor en todos los aspectos (salve quizás que el tutorial de este es ligeramente más acertado) Recomendable, aunque es mucho mejor obtener el Orcs Must Die 2.
