Notrium	Instant Kingdom	2003	[b]Minimum:[/b] * Windows 98, ME, 2000 or XP * 1 GHz CPU * 64 MB RAM*Latest version: 1.345 (as of 2010-03-02?)You have crash-landed on planet Notrium.

You can try getting past your enemies quietly, but often you will need either fast legs or a sharp aim. Player Characters * The Human is weak, relying on weapons and items for survival. * The Android is very strong, but can only heal himself with repair units. * The Alien gains fearsome hunting skills through evolving. * The Psionic has unique mental powers, but cannot carry anything.

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.

Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth	Bethesda Softworks;Ubisoft Entertainment (Headfirst Productions)	2006	INT 2009-06-16 on Steam, by Bethesda Softworks (lang: eng, fre, ger)*The game is initially very much like survival horror, but "degenerates" sometime in the midpoint of the game to stealth FPS and later to plain FPS (although only because the enemies no longer have firearms and you don't have to watch out for them shooting at you anymore, the character is extremely frail [compared to other FPS games] and wouldn't survive such). [spoiler]There may be some confusion on the true nature of the protagonist. But, if one bothers to understand the mythos, we can see that the Yith only swapped bodies with him. Explaining the sequence where he was in an alien body for a time, and the amnesiac time of his past. His consciousness had been swapped by the Yith, leaving his consciousness in the "original" body of the Yith who had taken over his. Some have proposed that the protagonist himself is Yith but this ignores how the Yith work (they swap minds across time and space, usually for purposes of study). The Yith either wiped his memory or the experience was too traumatic that caused the initial amnesia. As an additional note, the physical form of the Yith is actually not their original, simply what species they had taken over in force (supposedly not all can house their minds for prolonged periods of time).[/spoiler]Call of Cthulhu -- Dark Corners of the Earth is a first-person horror game that combines intense action and adventure elements. You will draw upon your skills in exploration, investigation, and combat while faced with the seemingly impossible task of battling evil incarnate. Other than fighting, you have the ability to interact freely with characters and the gaming environment. To increase the sense of immersion, there is no interface or 'HUD' on screen at any time during normal gameplay. Instead, more intuitive methods are available for you to assess your condition, ammunition levels, and other relevant information. The combat within the game is extremely realistic, with a detailed damage and healing system that breaks down the healing process into conditions and treatments - rather than having the typical FPS 'health packs' lying around everywhere. The game also allows you to stamp your own style onto the proceedings via an advanced AI system that can react to your method of play. Cthulhu enemies can roam freely around the environment - opening doors and tracking you down single-handedly or in groups. To stay alive you won't just be able to outshoot them, you'll need to outthink them as well. You will have to keep your mental health in check as you are exposed to the increasingly shocking images of the Cthulhu Mythos. You will need to combat enemies using the environment, powerful and evil artifacts, Alien technology, or by fighting with weapons that are completely authentic for the period. Set during the 1920s, Call of Cthulhu is based on the Cthulhu Mythos of HP Lovecraft, an American writer of fantasy and horror. Lovecraft's stories tell of unthinkable evil, psychic possession, and mythical worlds and his work has profoundly influenced numerous fantasy and science fiction writers, including Stephen King and Anne Rice. The technology powering Call of Cthulhu has provided Headfirst with the means to present an incredibly detailed and accurate depiction of the sights and sounds of this unique 1920's New England setting. A diverse range of cutting edge special effects is utilized to ensure both unprecedented levels of realism and an exact portrayal of your mental degredation. Key Features: Diverse array of levels from quaint towns to alien locations, including Deep One City * Dynamic Sanity system resulting in hallucinations, panic attacks, vertigo, paranoia, and more! * Incredibly detailed real-time graphics with atmospheric lighting and dynamic shadows * Intelligent gameplay involving puzzle solving as well as combat and exploration * 1920s weaponry and vehicles as well as evil artifacts and alien technology * Lovecraft's famous monsters and locations [Bethesda]
Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts	THQ (Relic Entertainment)	2007	Latest version: 2.602 (as of 2011-05-24) Version history: * 2.601*bundle - Bundled with Asus GeForce 8800 GT.[b]Minimum requirements:[/b] CPU with SSE instruction set * 512 MB RAM (1.1G without swap) * 64 MB VRAM * GPU with Shader Model 1.1 support * 9 GB free HD space [b]Recommended:[/b] * 1 GB RAM (1.8G without swap) * 256 MB VRAM * GPU with Shader Model 2.0 support**Company of Heroes : Opposing Fronts is the next chapter in the groundbreaking real-time strategy franchise from critically acclaimed studio Relic Entertainment. This standalone game features two unique armies with full length campaigns. Players will experience fast-paced dynamic tactics like never before, in two of the most brutal World War II campaigns ever fought. Take command of the tenacious British 2nd Army in the vicious battle for Caen, France, or lead the German Panzer Elite as they struggle to repel the largest airborne invasion in history. With two intensely cinematic campaigns, mission persistence, improved vehicle AI and weather effects that directly impact the battlefield, Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts supports DirectX 10 and is fully compatible with the original Company of Heroes. Battle online with these two all-new armies and utilize full compatibility with the original Company of Heroes for a total of four playable armies - allowing players to wage the ultimate war for Fortress Europe. FeaturesFeatures Bigger – Play as the British or Germans in two intensely cinematic campaigns. * Better looking – DX10 support and significant upgrades to the Essence Engine. * Smarter – Improved vehicle AI and path-finding. * More Realistic – All new weather effects directly impact the battlefield. [Relic]***Introduces two new armies, the British 2nd and the German Panzer Elite, both with their own all new campaigns, too. British are slow-moving and highly defensive army and apparently has movable base unlike all the other armies, as well as tank airdrop and many other interesting and unique abilities. Panzer Elite on the other hand is a low number force of, you know, elite forces who're more suited for rushing the enemy in Blitzkrieg tactics and specializes on vehicular combat more than any other army. Apparently You won't need to have Opposing Fronts to play against their armies after a new patch is rolled out for the original game, although you won't be able to play _as_ either of the new armies if you don't get the expansion, nor likely are you able to play the two old armies if you don't have the original, but you can still play against those who either have only the expansion or only the original even if you only have the other.

Crysis Warhead	EA Partners (Crytek Studios - Budapest)	2008	Aunque su forma de juego de soldado futurista con poderes es similar al Crysis original, la falta total de suspense en pos de una acción continua desvirtúa un poco el juego, compensando ligeramente este problema con la inclusión del Crysis Wars (multijugador) 7 de 10*Tagline/Slogan: Adapt, Engage, Dominate!Officially the game is "Crysis Warhead" although all graphical representations of the title imply "Crysis: Warhead" to be correct.

Left 4 Dead 2	Valve;EA Partners (Valve)	2009	Set in the zombie apocalypse, Left 4 Dead 2 (L4D2) is the highly anticipated sequel to the award-winning Left 4 Dead, the #1 co-op game of 2008.

Minecraft	Mojang	2011	Minecraft is a game about breaking and placing blocks. At first, people built structures to protect against nocturnal monsters, but as the game grew players worked together to create wonderful, imaginative things. It can also be about adventuring with friends or watching the sun rise over a blocky ocean. It’s pretty. Brave players battle terrible things in The Nether, which is more scary than pretty. You can also visit a land of mushrooms if it sounds more like your cup of tea.*[media=youtube]MmB9b5njVbA[/media]Following concepts were removed with some versions: healing items (1.8 - re-added with 1.9) * uncolored lighting (1.8)

Tomb Raider	Square Enix (Crystal Dynamics)	2013	Probablemente el mejor Tomb Raider jamás hecho, aunque abusa un poco de los QTM y se nota la ausencia de puzzles. Aún así, la mezcla de acción-plataformas está mejor realizada que nunca. 8 de 10***Notes on tags: [spoiler] [b]Giant humanoids[/b] - the Oni are not explained what they really are, whether they are actually Japanese demons ([url=/groups/info/ogres]ogres[/url] really) or just some of the samurai who suffer from gigantism. [b]Undead[/b] - the Stormguard. Although nothing really suggests this except for that you can kill them by destroying their belt buckles, which presumably animate their dead bodies. [/spoiler]
