| Natural Selection | Unknown Worlds Entertainment | 2002 | Latest version: 3.2 (as of 2007-03-01) Version history: * 3.1 (2005-11-10) * 3.0 (2005-03-03)***Natural Selection blends first-person combat with real-time strategy. It features intense "marines vs. aliens" teamplay, where one marine can become Commander. The Commander plays from a top-down perspective and leads live players. The aliens can evolve upgrades like "Cloaking" and "Scent of Fear", and can change lifeforms to run on walls, fly, and even devour marines whole. NS has atmospheric indoor sci-fi environments full of steam and smoke, and features custom orchestral music from the award-winning Jeremy Soule. It is a freely-available Half-life modification, and since its release in October of 2002, has had over 2 million downloads, and has 10,000 unique players every day.

| Natural Selection 2 | Unknown Worlds Entertainment | 2012 | Initial impressions, and what I've been hearing from other players and actually long term beta testers, is that the game itself is extremely stacked for marine side winning. The original NS was fairly balanced, but this new one just isn't even close. Currently I can't recommend this for anyone due to this massive imbalance (it really requires that the marine commander is Really Bad, anything else doesn't really matter that much), but unless they fix the balance issues, people who are interested in this or were fans of the original, are better off with the original. Outside of the balance issues this Could become a good successor for the original.***Originally NS2 was supposed to use Source engine but this was scratched due to technical problems with it and licensing costs, instead UW went and created their own game engine. | labelimageminimize |
