Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis	Vivendi Universal;Sierra Entertainment (Blue Tongue Entertainment)	2003	[spoiler=Show available dinosaurs;Hide][b]Dinosaurs:[/b] * Dryosaurus * Gallimimus * Homalocephale * Kentrosaurus * Pachycephalosaurus * Styracosaurus * Ankylosaurus * Brachiosaurus * Camarasaurus * Corythosaurus * Edmontosaurus * Ouranosaurus * Parasaurolophus * Stegosaurus * Torosaurus * Triceratops * Albertosaurus * Ceratosaurus * Dilophosaurus * Velociraptor * Acrocanthosaurus * Allosaurus * Carcharodontosaurus * Spinosaurus * Tyrannosaurus[/spoiler]*[b]hunger[/b] — the dinosaurs require sufficient number of food dispensers to keep them fed, also their living areas require water supply, such as a lake, to keep their thirst at bay. Dinosaurs will die after a while if either is missing for too long. Possibly a factor with the tourists as well, but only to keep them at the park longer. [b]npc anxiety/fear[/b] — seen if a dinosaur breaks free from their containment area (this affects the tourists) or if two different dinosaurs (specifically a carnivore and herbivore or large carnivore with smaller carnivore) are forced to be too close to each other. The dinosaurs may try to avoid the carnivore so much that they can't stave their hunger and eventually starve to death unless the carnivore ends up killing them (is that even possible here? didn't witness it, but hypothetically it could happen). To prevent this, you can either provide separate holding areas for the dinos or large enough single area for them to prowl so they can keep their distance naturally. The latter is obviously much harder set up and maintain, but the game does provide sufficient mechanisms to attempt it.*Latest version: retail.
Black & White 2	Electronic Arts (Lionhead Studios)	2005	[b]Minimum:[/b] * Windows 2000 or XP * 1.6 GHz Pentium IV CPU * 512 MB RAM * 64 MB VRAM * 3.5 GB HD space*Latest version: 1.2 (as of ?)[size=150]Will you be an evil or benevolent deity?[/size] That's the choice you must make upon returning to a warring land in Black & White 2. Like its wildly successful predecessor, Black & White, the sequel is all about moral choices. The land, however, has transformed itself. The inhabitants of this breathtaking 3D world have lost their innocence and developed new weapons and technology. As you enter this warring world, will you make tribes coexist peacefully; encouraging villages and towns to grow into sprawling metropolises, or prompt them to inflict their will upon others by, creating and commanding large armies that seek to dominate and conquer? Creatures in the game have grown too. They can learn strategies, master new abilities and skills, lead armies into battle and be your ultimate unit. Black & White 2 includes other new elements, such as improved graphics and miracle effects such as rivers of fire and earthquakes that yield massive destruction. Every choice you make will have an impact. Each action and inactions prompts obvious changes to buildings, flora and fauna, all morphing to reflect your personality. New features: Wage massive wars, sieges and battles or use your skill and power to keep the peace. * Discover and use new Epic Miracles, including the ground-ripping Earthquake and volcanoes, which cause rivers of lava. * Choose and customize the Creature that's right for you from a selection, including old favorites such as the Ape, Cow, and Lion. * Research and create new forms of weaponry, from swords to bows to siege machines. * Build and design unique defensive gates and walls. * Control and marshal huge and varied armies. * Create and control settlements that include housing, farming, and many other buildings like fountains and lush gardens (if you're Good) or spikes and torture pits (if you're Evil). * Weather systems such as rain, snow, mists, and fog. * Journey through 9 lands homing each of the five tribes.

Dwarf Fortress	Bay 12 Games	2006	Dwarf Fortress is a single-player fantasy game. You can control a dwarven outpost or an adventurer in a randomly generated, persistent world. Although Dwarf Fortress is still in a work in progress, many features have already been implemented.

The world persists as long as you like, over many games, recording historical events and tracking changes. Command your dwarves as they search for wealth in the mountain. ---Craft treasures and furniture from many materials and improve these objects with precious metals, jewels and more. ---Defend yourself against attacks from hostile civilizations, the wilderness, the depths, the dead and creatures of the night. ---Trade for all manner of exotic goods with your neighbors. ---Establish a barony and support the nobility as they make demands of your populace. ---Keep your dwarves happy and read their thoughts as they work and relax. ---Z coordinate allows you to dig out fortresses with multiple levels. Build towers or conquer the underworld. ---Build floodgates to divert water for farming or to drown your adversaries... and don't forget the magma! ---Surgery, sutures, splints, crutches and more: care for your wounded dwarves instead of leaving them to fend for themselves. ---Retire your fortress, then unretire it after spending time playing other roles in the world. ---Honey, wax, pottery, windmills, waterwheels, soap, plaster, wool, eggs, dyes, cheese, glass, animal training, and much much more... Play an adventurer and explore, quest for glory or seek vengeance. ---Meet adversaries from previous games. ---Recruit people to come with you on your journey. ---Explore without cumbersome plot restrictions -- thriving capitals, villages, catacombs, labyrinths, bandit camps, caves and more! ---Seamlessly wander the world or travel more rapidly on the region map and in underground tunnels. ---Travel by day and search for a place to shelter as night falls. ---Listen to rumors and help out town and civilization leaders. ---Earn a reputation as a hero, friend, soldier, enemy, thug, etc. with the various civilizations in the world. ---Retire and meet your old characters. Bring them along on an adventure with a new character or reactivate them and play directly. ---Z coordinate allows you to move between twisting underground caverns and scale structures, fighting adversaries above and below. Climb, jump and sprint! ---Stealth system with vision arcs which also respects vegetation density and other factors. ---Use signs like shoe impressions and animal tracks to hunt and avoid danger. ---Steal a mummy's treasure or learn the secrets of life and death at a necromancer's tower. ---Visit your retired fortresses and ask your dwarves to join you on adventures. The combat model uses skills, body parts, individual tissues, material properties, aimed attacks, wrestling, one-time opportunities, charging and dodging between squares, bleeding, pain, nausea, various poison effects and much more. Attacks and other movements extend over several instants, allowing you to deliberately catch enemy blows or plan your counter-attack. Hundreds of animals and other monsters, including many that are randomly generated for each world. Multi-tile climbable trees and many, many kinds of plants. Fruit, flowers and falling leaves. A dynamic weather model tracks wind, humidity and air masses to create fronts, clouds, rain storms and blizzards. Over two hundred rock and mineral types are incorporated into the world, placed in their proper geological environments. Add new creatures, weapons, plants, metals and other objects via modifiable text files.

The Sims 3	Electronic Arts (EA Redwood Shores)	2009	Way worse than Sims 2, with only a city that is terrain-fixed, and with the control of only ONE family for the sake of neighborhood aging (good concept, but stupid for a shared computer or when you simply want to play many different families) 7 de 10*Although the base game concept is interesting as social simulation game, the game only includes one small town to play in and sell additional towns as microtransactions for about 25USD/20EUR (that's for [u]single town[/u]), there's also other limitations which aren't as egregious as this. But I don't think I need to really go into detail on the game beyond this. It's a money milker for EA, but considering how successful the game has been, I rather question the players who actually fall for this rather than EA for doing it. I bought the game when it was discounted at "low" 15EUR price itself (from original 50EUR) and I can say that the game is hardly worth even that much. Maybe if it was like 10EUR with towns being 2EUR or so, I might consider it reasonable. There's also DLC expansions that cost the same as the base game itself. Unfortunately popularity (or market hype?) of Sims series has made it pretty certain there won't be any serious competition, it also allows EA to continue producing inferior games for ridiculously high price. As a game, it's decent I think, but in terms of value vs price, you're paying 100-1000 times more than you should be. Hence, don't buy any Sims games outside of significant (>60%) discounts.The game seems to have a long standing non-critical bug where the game starts freezing every few minutes. According to some players this is likely related to pathing code where some NPC gets "stuck" and can't figure out how to get their stuff done as a result. There is no real fix for this besides starting a new game which obviously doesn't prevent an NPC from getting stuck again.*The freedom of The Sims 3 will inspire you with endless creative possibilities and amuse you with unexpected moments of surprise and mischief!

Cities XL 2011	Focus Home Interactive (Focus Home Interactive;Monte Cristo)	2010	El juego que se ocupó de llenar el vacío que tantos años provocó el parón de la saga SimCity. Tiene un enfoque más realista que la susodicha referencia, con entornos de geografías creíbles y trazados más libres y adaptados al paisaje. Y aunque es difícil mantenerse a flote econonómicamente, no es tan imposible como para tener al asesor de economía, a la Maxis, todo el rato chillando. Como contra nombraría la imposibilidad de conectar ciudades de la forma en la cual se podía en el SimCity 4 (se pueden conectar, pero su cercanía no es relevante), y una interfaz algo compleja. 7 de 10*A non-free large update to the original Cities XL, though through some channels owners of the original could get significant (50%) discount on the 2011 edition.Imagine and Conceive cities of all types and sizes on Cities XL planet.

For the first time in this kind of game, Cities XL 2011 finally let you go beyond the simple creation of a city! Connect every city that you build in a trade network, specialize some of them so that they can provide for others, thus creating a large-scale economy balance.

Dungeons	Kalypso Media Digital (Realmforge Studios)	2011	A mighty hero stalks through a dark, dank dungeon making life miserable for hordes of pitiable monsters as he steals anything and everything not bolted to the floor. Been there, done that - about a thousand times? Then it is definitely time to switch sides and show that hero just who's who in the dungeon! Assume the role of a mighty (and mighty evil) Dungeon Lord and create your own diabolical demesnes underground. Dim-witted goblin workers tremble as they await your orders and dig corridors and rooms into the rock at your command. Heroes will visit your dungeon in search of battle and treasure. Naturally, you could always just annihilate them with a snap of your fingers. But isn't it more entertaining and deliciously evil to watch them attain their heart's desire - and then take take it ALL away? So throw them a few treasures and some equipment, give them a couple of fights for entertainment and cherish and look after them. And once they are finally happy enough - it's time for the "harvest". For happy heroes have more valuable soul energy for you to gleefully extract from them in your prison or torture chamber! But even though these self-proclaimed warriors for the good are not much more than an excellent source of resources for you, you still should not underestimate them. If you've beaten up too many of their friends, the powerful and vindictive Champions will occasionally make their way to your Dungeon. Perhaps a small sum could persuade them to forget their moral and ethical principles for once? In addition to the heroes, you should also always keep an wary eye on the underground. For the competition never sleeps, and other Dungeon Lords would like to claim your territory for themselves. As if that were not enough, another Dungeon Lord lives one level below you who, to top it all off, is also your boss and bombards you with useless tasks! Of course, it goes without saying that malicious and sneaky beings such as yourself are already hard at work trying to take his place! [b]Story[/b] The game revolves around Deimos, foremost of all Dungeon Lords. He falls victim to a devious plot hatched by his vile, nasty, thoroughly vicious ex-girlfriend Calypso, and suddenly finds himself at the bottom of the hierarchy and the top of the dungeon once again. As the story proceeds Deimos tries to regain his old place and have his well-deserved revenge on Calypso. First, however, he will have to deal with his new bosses. On the one hand , there's the Zombie King, who is about as intelligent as your average undead zombie is likely to be, and on the other there's hot-blooded Minos, who likes to solve problems using violence or, alternatively, more violence. [b]Key features:[/b] * Be insidious! Three different Boss Monsters await in order to give you a real hard time. Get rid of them to become the one and only Dungeon Lord! * Get ready for a fight! 10 different classes of heroes dare to enter your dungeon where 15 different monsters lurk in the dark * The 17 campaign missions demand your whole cunningness as evil dungeon lord. If you manage to survive them there's still the custom game waiting for you. * In a dungeons there's only one way: going down. 3 different levels wait to be conquered by you. * Prison cells and torture chambers are ready for your command and await "customers" * Create the dungeon of your dreams with 50 different objects * Wimpy goblin workers await your commands and create the dungeon after your wishes.***I'd claim this is [game=#164254]Dungeon Keeper 3[/game] if I didn't know better. A vague cross over of Dungeon Keeper 2, Overlord, and some obscure tower defense where you yourself need to kill all the foes personally. Perhaps best way to describe Dungeons is that it's a Theme Park of Evil where everyone who is enjoying themselves (too much) or is trying to leave gets killed. Everything you build is to entertain the heroes while making sure they die before they leave or are completely satisfied (in which case some heroes just use town portal spell and disappear before you can intercept their escape).
