Ring	Cryo Interactive (Arxel Tribe)	1998
Rune	Take 2 Interactive;Gathering of Developers (Human Head Studios)	2000	Experience an exciting single player storyline where you thwart Loki and his minions from bringing Ragnarok to Midgard. [Steam Store]*Juegazo de acción clásica, donde encarnas a un vikingo capaz de llevar 4 armas y un escudo mientras se sana de heridas de batalla comiendo lagartos. Recuerda mucho al Heretic II. 8 de 10Re-released together with the expansion as [i]Rune Classic[/i] in 2012-06-13 with added Steam achievements.Product ID: [code]1-892817-25-X[/code] UPC-A: [code]6 63493 11012 1[/code] EAN-13: [code]0 663593 110121[/code]You play as Ragnar, just recently reached the status of Odinsblade in your village that protects one of Odin's Runestones. The game starts with very crude "tutorial" obviously meant for people already familiar with games (of this type), only telling you details on things that were different from other games of the time. [spoiler=Early spoilers;Hide spoilers]After talking and running around a bit, you get into a mockup fight with the "strongest" of the village. Who, although can take a beating, uses ridiculously simple combat tactics that are easily beaten. After beating him up, the village gets attacked by some stupidhead viking thinking serving Loki is actually good idea and sens Ragnar and his fellow vikings to the bottom of the sea, killing everyone, you included.[/spoiler] [spoiler=Real beginning;Hide spoiler]While slowly descending towards the bottom of the sea, quite dead as you are, you hear the voice of Odin, who demands you to awaken, explaining its not your time yet. And so you are miraculously (although not very dramatically) resurrected, at full health and ready to beat some ass. But where are you? In some natural caves filled with bloodthirsty critters, and you're supposed to beat through them before you can go about stomping the renegade Loki worshipping vikings who so deserve a grand beating by your Odin-granted powers of vengeance. Meaning, the game instantly devolves to simple hack-and-slash adventure for a loooooong time from the start with some rare bits of plot thrown in for measure so common of the games at that time.[/spoiler] On non-spoiler frontier, you almost always have 3 weapons (sword, mace and axe) and a shield. Each weapon offers one magical power you can use after charging up your magical batteries by beating up people, and these change with newer weapons. You can even throw them at your enemies if you feel so inclined and this is actually good idea when a lot of weapons of that type are lying around or you just want to get rid of your old crappier one. Shields can be broken, both your's and your enemies' (it was either axe or mace that excelled in this, I forgot), but despite this small potential setback, shields are important part of survival. The game was quite fun back in the days, but like with many 3D games, it's hard to appreciate it after the technology behind it has gone so far from those primitive times.**Includes a [i]very[/i] basic hack&slash P&P RPG in PDF format on the CD.

Loki	Focus Home Interactive;Crimson Cow (Cyanide)	2007	PL 2007-09-07 by Techland*securom7 - only in Chinese release"Loki" is a hack 'n' slash (action/RPG) and it is, by far, the studio's most ambitious project to date. However, it is not the first incursion into a fantasy world as the subtle blend of humour and haemoglobin in "Chaos League" met with popular success. A fantasy voyage through the great mythologies, Loki allows the player to take on the role of one of the 4 heroes of the game, each drawn from a different mythology : a mighty Norse fighter, a fierce Greek warrior, a powerful Egyptian magician or an Aztec shaman who masters the secrets of the spirit world. Whatever hero the player adopts, he must come to the aid of the gods he worships. He will come to realise that behind the chaos that is threatening his world lies Seth, the Egyptian god of darkness and evil, who has returned from the kingdom of the dead. The hero must therefore undertake an epic journey across the various epochs and myths. He will fight a multitude of monsters of all shapes and sizes, and even overthrow a few gods, on his way to preventing Seth establish his wicked reign. Main Features An epic adventure across 4 great mythologies – Aztec, Egyptian, Greek and Norse – allowing the player to live through many of the key episodes that mark these cultures (the siege of Troy, Ragnarok, ......) and setting him in the path of the most prominent figures within each episode (Achilles, Thor, Akhenaton.....) * Choose from 4 different heroes with radically different attributes and powers. Each hero has a vast array of spells and skills to help him through his quest. * More than 100 monsters of all shapes and sizes * Dare to take on mythological creatures that struck fear into the hearts of our ancestors (Fenrir the giant wolf, the Minotaur in his labyrinth, .......) * Innumerable story lines through random generation of decors and items, so that nobody lives the same experience and allowing the game to be played many times without the hero ever having the same set of weapons, armour or spells. * Weapons, being made of two parts (loosely "handle" + "cutting edge") and from different materials, can be customised at the village forge to change characteristics. Magic runes, found along the way, can multiply a weapon's power. * Live through the adventure with friends in cooperative multiplayer mode or fight in single combat against friend or foe in PVP mode on a battleground.

Tomb Raider: Underworld	Eidos Interactive (Crystal Dynamics)	2008	Es una pena los enormes errores en el manejo que tiene el juego, ya que por lo demás es claramente mejor que las anteriores entregas en prácticamente todo. Pero repetir zonas por culpa de que el juego decida que Lara no debe andar o que los objetos vuelen sin sentido es demasiado frustrante, empeorando notablemente el juego. 6 de 10*Ties in the events of the first Tomb Raider (specifically anniversary remake) and Legend, continuing the storyline. Personally I can't tell if all the other TR games are being ignored or not as I haven't really played them.[b]Minimum:[/b] Windows XP or Vista * 3 Ghz Pentium IV or 2.5 GHz Athlon CPU * 1 GB RAM * GeForce 6800 GT or Radeon 1800XT GPU * 8 GB HD space [b]Recommended:[/b] * 2.2 GHz Core 2 Duo or Athlon 64 X2 4400+ CPU * 2 GB RAM * GeForce 9800 GTX or Radeon HD4800 GPU

In Magicka, up to four players take on a grand adventure to save their world from certain doom using a fully dynamic spell system. The adventure mode takes the players across three different levels, ranging from the lush forests of mountain valleys to the frozen halls of the Mountain King where wits and creative thinking are the keys to victory. In the unlockable hardcore challenge mode, players fight off waves of enemies to earn their place on local and online leaderboards. Main Features: Innovative and dynamic spell casting system * Up to four-player co-op in all game modes, as well as a single-player option * Fight your way through 13 different campaign levels * Explore an expansive realm of adventure to defeat the evil wizard * Find and unlock challenges, items, and powerful Magicks * Experience the parody and satire of a clichéd fantasy world

Skyward Collapse	Arcen Games	2013	Un interesante giro a la estrategia: en vez de intentar sobreponer tu facción ante todo lo que se te ponga por delante, tu misión es equilibrar las fuerzas de dos facciones enemigas sin debilitarlas tanto que el hostil mundo en el cual viven acabe con ambas. Suma criaturas mitológicas e incluso dioses caminando entre ellos y sale un juegazo de estrategia por turnos, como una mezcla entre Black and White con Civilization y aderezada con una pizca de Age of Mithology. Arcen Games mantiene su excepcional saber hacer juegos. 9 de 10
