Mafia II  2K Games (2K Czech)2010Un juego que, aunque con una jugabilidad "sanbox" al estilo GTA, presenta una argumento más serio y sobretodo una recreación tan bonita como inmersiva de los mediados del S.XX en EEUU.

In short: third person action/driving sandbox in the 40s-50s.

Pros:
Great atmosphere and details, especially in cars.
Great jazz and rock music
Collectables that are worth the time to search them

Cons:
The action is too often limited for a videogame, too filmic.
Very limited choices in the story

The Ball Tripwire Interactive (Teotl Studios)2010A clever puzzle/action-adventure game with heavy emphasis on puzzling and combat using the titular ball. The story is obviously slapped on top as beyond finding the ball, why the protagonist keeps going for miles and miles underground, dropping down immensely deep chutes with no way back and so forth is beyond comprehension and the initial curiosity one can blame on him being archeologist hardly explains why he doesn't just study what he finds and stick around the hole he fell in through to wait for the promised rescue (which he seemingly could've relied on quite easily).

Ergo, if you want story, this is definitely not for you, if you want puzzles and different kind of combat on the other hand...***[b]Minimum:[/b]

War of the Vikings Paradox Interactive (Fatshark)2014A medio caballo entre el War of Roses y la facción nórdica de Pirates, Vikings and Knights aparece este juego, que promete muchísimo ya desde su alpha con un sistema de combate mucho más pulido y unos combates más encarnizados, con placajes y técnicas especiales que dan diversidad suficiente como para que un arquero pueda defenderse cuerpo a cuerpo.

Muy superior al War of Roses, juegazo, de lo mejorcito del melee multijugador.

Dirty Bomb Nexon America (Splash Damage)2015Dirty Bomb takes first person shooters back to their purest roots in a fast-paced team game that will challenge even the most competent players. This game won’t hold your hand, in fact it is more likely to kick your teeth in. With no controller support or aim assist, all that lies between you and certain death is player skill and reaction. Work together or die alone in the most challenging team-based FPS.

In the near future, London stands abandoned, a dilapidated shell of its former self. After a mysterious disaster, the international Crisis and Disaster Agency stepped in to clean up the mess and decontaminate the city. They failed... badly.

Now the streets of London are the playground of Private Military Companies (PMCs) who battle to control what remains of the city’s riches. After all, what’s a little radiation sickness when there’s money to be made?

Say goodbye to London, say hello to the Merc Capital of the World.
