| Psychic Detective | Electronic Arts | 1996 | Eric Fox is a psychic who lives in San Francisco and earns his living performing magic shows in seedy nightclubs. This changes when Eric meets Laina, a mysterious woman who trains him to venture inside other people's minds. Laina then hires Eric as a private detective to travel into the minds of the people who attend a wake held in honor of her father, which has died under unclear circumstances. Psychic Detective is an interactive movie with adventure elements. The player can choose people whose minds Eric is able to read, and also interact with objects for further insight into the storyline. Many of these decisions and interaction choices branch the storyline, leading it to different endings; one of these endings is reached if the player chooses not to interact at all and lets the movie unfold by itself.*** [84] | labelimagesubject |
| Singles: Flirt Up Your Life! | Deep Silver (Rotobee Realtime 3D) | 2004 | Comparable to The Sims series, though does not censor nor shy away from more explicit material (in fact includes a great deal more of sexual activities).***Singles Flirt up your Life! is the simulation of the exciting relationship between Mike and Linda. The game shows them in their shared flat, which means that everyday routines are focused as well: Cooking, watching TV and cleaning are as important as talks and a cuddle. And of course the two have to work for a living as well. | labelimageminimize |
| The Suffering | Midway Games;ZOO Digital Publishing (Surreal Software) | 2004 | [quote=Wikipedia]... graphical glitches in the first game, such as models not appearing and missing walls. [...] The solution was to ensure both games were fully uninstalled, then go through the Windows registry and manually delete anything related to Surreal Software, The Suffering, or the Riot Engine.[/quote]***EAN-13: [code]5 060034 555803[/code] (Zoo Digital) EAN-13: [code]7 053810 000060[/code] (Midway?)

Others do not see the monster, though. Also considering the final boss is a manifestation of his hate, the events of that fight are rather questionable. There are also other people who are more or less insane, such as Dr. Killjoy. [b]outlaw protagonist[/b] - possibly framed, but this isn't established solidly in the first game. The sequel seemed to expand on this. [/spoiler]***Prison is Hell! Experience the terror as you fight your way out of a maximum-security penitentiary overrun with ghastly creatures. Your desperate bid to escape this prison and the island that surrounds is only the beginning as you learn the truth behind The Suffering. [Box blurb]***I seem to recall that one of the "evil bastards" implied that the protagonist was responsible for all the shit going on. The game blocks normal printscreen key usage, so taking screenshots of any kind requires 3rd party software which I personally don't have or know of any that don't add ads to the screenshots such as Fraps. | labelimagesubject |
| Doom 3 | id Software | 2004 | Note! Activision worked only as distributor for Doom 3, not publisher.***Science has unlocked the gates to the unknown, and now only one man stands between Hell and Earth. A Sci-Fi horror masterpiece, Doom 3 is like nothing you've ever experienced. Dramatic storyline, pulse-pounding action, incredible graphics, and revolutionary technology combine to draw you into the most frightening and gripping first person gaming experience ever created.

You're initially greeted by bleak residents of the Mars base and the uptight workforce of the place and are quickly pushed to your first assignment. And your arrival could not have been on worse time, as the conditions rapidly deteriorate from then on into an invasion by demonic forces and a darker plot brewing behind it. --- Personally I think the game is quite good, and the major criticism from others seems to have been about the extremely dark setting (lack of lighting), but how many horror games do you see in brightly lit environs that still manage to scare you? I doubt any. Creep you out by weirdness, perhaps, but not scare you. The only gripe I have about the game is that it relies all too much on scripted sequences to scare you, and the mob A.I. seems to be a bit too straightforward to give much challenge as it's quite easy to figure out and once that's done, most situations are ridiculously easy to handle, especially with the virtually infinite ammo you have (not that that's much a surprise as the place _is_ weapons research and manufacturing facility on top of everything else).***[b]Minimum:[/b] [*] Windows 2000 or XP [*] Pentium IV 1.5 GHz or Athlon XP 1500+ CPU [*] 384 MB RAM [*] 64 MB VRAM (Radeon 8500 or GeForce 3) [*] 8X CD-ROM drive [*] 2.2 GB free HD space [*] soundcard [*] mouse [*] keyboard***[spoiler=Show partial access code list;Hide code list][b]Syntax:[/b] [code]locked object : code [lock location] [code found from][/code] Listed in order of encountering the locked object Reception & Marine HQ Combat Prep : 584 [Marine HQ] [Bill Tyson's PDA near the location on second visit to Marine HQ] Locker #001 : 396 [Maintenance] [Kitchen, Adam's PDA] – automatically opened and emptied on return trip if not opened by player Locker #023 : 531 [Energy Stab.

| Fallout: New Vegas | Bethesda Softworks (Obsidian Entertainment) | 2010 | Has 2 minor content DLC: -Courier's Pack: Includes all the items from the differente store preorders of FNV. -Gun Runners Arsenal: Introduces challenges and achievements related to them, and a store with some new weapons and mods.***Nyaeh there's the high roller. El mejor RPG de exploración de la generación actual, con personajes humanos creíbles (nadie es inmortal) y hasta cierto realismo económico (granjas, lucha por el agua...) El argumento del Skyrim en comparativa es de segunda. 10 de 10***Welcome to Vegas. New Vegas. It’s the kind of town where you dig your own grave prior to being shot in the head and left for dead...and that’s before things really get ugly. It’s a town of dreamers and desperados being torn apart by warring factions vying for complete control of this desert oasis. It’s a place where the right kind of person with the right kind of weaponry can really make a name for themselves, and make more than an enemy or two along the way. As you battle your way across the heat-blasted Mojave Wasteland, the colossal Hoover Dam, and the neon drenched Vegas Strip, you’ll be introduced to a colorful cast of characters, power-hungry factions, special weapons, mutated creatures and much more. Choose sides in the upcoming war or declare "winner takes all" and crown yourself the King of New Vegas in this follow-up to the 2008 videogame of the year, Fallout 3. Enjoy your stay. Key Features * Feel the Heat in New Vegas! Not even nuclear fallout could slow the hustle of Sin City. Explore the vast expanses of the desert wastelands – from the small towns dotting the Mojave Wasteland to the bright lights of the New Vegas strip. See the Great Southwest as could only be imagined in Fallout. * Feuding Factions, Colorful Characters and a Host of Hostiles! A war is brewing between rival factions with consequences that will change the lives of all the inhabitants of New Vegas. The choices you make will bring you into contact with countless characters, creatures, allies, and foes, and determine the final explosive outcome of this epic power struggle. * New Systems! Enjoy new additions to Fallout: New Vegas such as a Companion Wheel that streamlines directing your companions, a Reputation System that tracks the consequences of your actions, and the aptly titled Hardcore Mode to separate the meek from the mighty. Special melee combat moves have been added to bring new meaning to the phrase "up close and personal". Use V.A.T.S. to pause time in combat, target specific enemy body parts and queue up attacks, or get right to the action using the finely-tuned real-time combat mechanics. * An Arsenal of Shiny New Guns! With double the amount of weapons found in Fallout 3, you’ll have more than enough new and exciting ways to deal with the threats of the wasteland and the locals. In addition, Vault-Tec engineers have devised a new weapons configuration system that lets you tinker with your toys and see the modifications you make in real time. * Let it Ride! In a huge, open world with unlimited options you can see the sights, choose sides, or go it alone. Peacemaker or Hard Case, House Rules, or the Wild Card - it’s all in how you play the game.***EAN-13: [code]0093155125049[/code]***[b]Welcome to Vegas.

| The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings | CD Projekt;Atari;Namco Bandai Games (CD Projekt RED) | 2011 | Mejora lo visto en el anterior juego, especialmente con un combate muchísimo más fluido pero manteniendo su base rolera, y ciertos elementos de acción muy acertados. 9 de 10***[b]Minimum:[/b] * Windows XP, Vista, or 7 * 2.2 GHz Core 2 Duo CPU * 1 GB RAM (2 GB for Vista/7) * 512 MB VRAM * GeForce 8800 GPU * 16 GB HD space [b]Recommended:[/b] * Quad-core CPU * 3 GB RAM (4 GB for Vista/7) * 1 GB VRAM * GeForce 260 or Radeon HD 4850 GPU***The second instalment in the RPG saga about the Witcher, Geralt of Rivia, features a thoroughly engrossing, mature storyline defining new standards for thought-provoking, non-linear game narration. In addition to an epic story, the game features an original, brutal combat system that uniquely combines tactical elements with dynamic action. A new, modern game engine, responsible both for beautiful visuals and sophisticated game mechanics puts players in the most lively and believable world ever created in an RPG game. A captivating story, dynamic combat system, beautiful graphics, and everything else that made the original Witcher such a great game are now executed in a much more advanced and sophisticated way. Key features: * A truly epic, intense, emotionally charged adventure with non-linear game narration. Three independent plot lines with several alternative events are dependent on the player’s choices and lead to multiple different game endings and several additional plot forks. This time gameplay time will be shorter than The Witcher 1, but more intense and packed with events. * A complex, realistic and mature story touching upon subject matter seldom seen in other RPGs, told in a manner that is understandable and attractive to contemporary gamers. We investigate the assassinations of the rulers of the Northern Kingdoms and follow Geralt’s personal theme, in which he’s looking for his own identity. Gradually we learn how powerful forces influence our situation and what role they order us to play. * Rich, mature dialogue as found in Andrzej Sapkowski’s book series and The Witcher 1, presented in highly filmic cutscenes and dialogues sequences, thanks to a new game engine. * New, improved system of flashbacks. Now the reminiscences of Geralt, in which we observe the link between our past choices with current actions, are realistically and smoothly woven into the gameplay. * Unique, deep, consistent and rich game world established in a series of best-selling books by A. Sapkowski and recreated in the game to provide an incredible, believable story-driven experience. * Believable, true-to-life characters with their own motivations and goals. During our journey we meet ordinary men, soldiers, rebels, powerful mages, rulers and their assassins. Depending on our decisions we meet different game characters, and our relationships shape further actions in the game. * Highly varied, breathtaking locations, which thanks to the new engine create a cohesive, fully accessible world! * Rich, living world in which every character has their own way of life and unique occupations. Our actions modify the relationship with the game-world population and, in the case of the main plot line, open or close the possibilities of interaction with the game world. * Greater freedom of exploration to provide increased game realism and a wider range of new tactical options. Geralt will surmount barriers, jump over fences, scale walls and ascend rock formations. | labelimagesubject |
| Duke Nukem Forever | Take-Two Interactive (Gearbox Software;Piranha Games;Triptych Games) | 2011 | Surfaced now and then between 1997-2010 or so, earning itself the status as the best known vaporware.***Un juego gamberro, soez y de acción y destrucción absurdas. Aunque arrastra algunos elementos metidos a calzador y tiene el grave error de incluir un sistema de escudo nada clásico, simpre es satisfactorio jugar a un juego de acción donde puedes esquivar las balas sin ser El Elegido. Lo mejor las fases de canijo y el multijugador. Aunque no es un mal juego, no está a la altura de su antecesor o del reciente juego 2D protagonizado por el Duke. Eso sí, da para muchas risas. De todas formas: Hail to the king. 6 de 10***Contains references to at least the following games: * Doom 3 (teleporting to hell remarks, and possibly the dead [doomed] space marine remark when you find Isaac's helmet) * Dead Space (Isaac's helmet) * Halo (Spartan power armor) * Fallout New Vegas (defense of Hoover Dam and how the aliens can tap into it for limitless power or something)***[i]The King is Back![/i] Cocked, loaded and ready for action, Duke delivers epic ass-kicking, massive weapons, giant explosions and pure unadulterated fun! Put on your shades and step into the boots of Duke Nukem. The alien hordes are invading and only Duke can save the world. Pig cops, alien shrink rays and enormous alien bosses can’t stop this epic hero from accomplishing his goal: to save the world, save the babes and to be a bad-ass while doing it. The King arrives with an arsenal of over-the-top weapons, non-stop action, and unprecedented levels of interactivity. With hours and hours of action, and a range of bodacious multiplayer modes, rest assured knowing the fun goes on and on. [b]Story[/b] Did the Alien bastards not learn their lesson the first time? Duke has been on hiatus for some time now, kicking back and franchising himself on the fame he gained from saving Earth from the first invasion. The Aliens have returned to Earth yet again, messing up Duke’s sweet routine of dirty leisure habits. The Alien invaders are stealing Earth’s women, especially the hot ones! And they drank Duke’s beer. This. Won’t. Stand. As Duke battles his way through waves of aliens, the once beautiful gambling haven and Duke Nukem franchise chains are crumbling before his eyes. Time to bring the pain! [b]Features[/b] * Bust a Gut: Duke pulls no punches. Duke’s constant stream of hilarious one-liners throughout the game make this an out loud good time. * World Interactivity: Spend as much time as you want shooting hoops, lifting weights, playing pinball, pool, air hockey, and slots. * Scale & Variety: Packed with explosive FPS action, outlandish settings, driving, and puzzle solving — gamers will never tire of the endless FUN. * Multiplayer Like No Other: Classic modes are re-made with a Duke twist. Shrink, squash, freeze and shatter your opponents, or just frag them with a rocket.***[b]2010-09-03[/b] — Take-Two has officially announced DNF to be in development by Gearbox.***[spoiler=Show 2010 gameplay;Hide][media=youtube]5pr3mT2TOo4[/media][/spoiler] [spoiler=Show 2007-12-19 teaser trailer;Hide][media=youtube]cWuteFLUPSY[/media][/spoiler] 3D Realms was closed down in 2009-05 which made future of DNF unclear, but later Take-Two (who held the publishing rights and apparently the IP) announced they're going forward with the project under another developer.

| The Darkness II | 2K Games (Digital Extremes) | 2012 | Un FPS cuya mayor virtud es el elenco de poderes que puedes emplear para destrozar y eviscerar todo a tu paso. Aún mejor que la historia es el multijugador cooperativo, ya que los personajes son a su vez más especialistas y más limitados en sus poderes, lo que genera unas situaciones donde la sinergia es tan necesaria como sorprendentemente poderosa. 6 de 10***EAN-13: [code]5 026555 058902[/code] (UK Limited Edition)***Inspired by the popular comic book series produced by Top Cow Productions, Inc., The Darkness II is an intense first person shooter that delivers a twisted and gripping narrative of tragedy, modern crime drama, and supernatural horror. Players will be taken down the brutal and personal path of Jackie Estacado, head of a New York crime family and wielder of an ancient and ruthless force of chaos and destruction known as The Darkness. It’s been two years since Jackie Estacado used The Darkness to kill the men responsible for his girlfriend’s murder. He’s been unable to shake the memory of Jenny’s death since bottling up his supernatural power and now The Darkness wants out. A sudden, unprovoked attack by a mysterious organization known as the Brotherhood heralds the start of a full-scale war and opens the door for The Darkness to reemerge, setting Jackie on a journey to hell and worse. Key Features * 4-Player Co-op Campaign - Play as one of four unique characters each capable of wielding weapons infused with Darkness powers. Quad-Wielding Chaos - Slash, grab, and throw objects and enemies with the Demon Arms while simultaneously firing two weapons, adding a new dimension to the FPS category. * Harness an Unstoppable Power - Master the Demon Arms and summon the powers of The Darkness for even more explosive gameplay. Kill the Lights - The vicious powers of The Darkness manifest only in the shadows so use the environment to your advantage and watch out for enemies who will use light as a weapon. * Intense and Personal Journey - Experience a dark, twisted and gripping story written exclusively for the game by acclaimed comic book author Paul Jenkins whose credits also include The Incredible Hulk, Wolverine, and the original The Darkness game. * Distinctive Graphic-Noir Style - Graphic novel shading and color combined with the dramatic lighting of film noir pays tribute to the source material and brings the pages of the comic series to life. Inspired by the popular comic book series created by Top Cow. | labelimagesubject |
