In the years that follow, the UN gradually loses control of MARSCORP, mainly due to the non-transparent licence policy of its director.

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.

Cold Fear	Ubisoft Entertainment (Darkworks)	2005	There's only two things I dislike about this game. For one, being able to carry every single weapon found. This is supposed to be survival horror, you know. For second, the boss battle. I can't remember playing more aggravating boss battle than this on PC (console gamers seem to love these insanely overpowered bosses as they're so damn common on them). Way overpowered compared to anything else met and [i]nothing[/i] prepares you for it. Finally used a trainer to get through it because the game was sitting at the final battle for over a month (probably one fourth of the game can be played in the same amount of time I invested solely on the boss battle). [spoiler=Grievances with boss battle;Hide]Effectively you have to shoot the boss until he turns his attention to you, dodge the charge he makes either left or right, by staring at him in the aim view until he raises either of his arms to strike (so you know which side to dodge to), and repeat this until Anna escapes (which takes some 5+ charges). After this you have to wait for him to charge, dodge that, and then run back in front of him so he can grab you - YES! you have to intentionally let him grab you here. And then hit action button to get released. After you do this the third time, you can shoot him in the face. This has to be repeated about 3 times in total, so that's surviving about 9 more charges while managing to let him grab you. You don't have any healing items and you die on the third charge you fail to dodge. There's also the fact that the only way to dodge the boss is to stare down at him until he raises either of his arms (lest you wish to rely on luck as there's no pattern) and then swivel quickly to the opposite side, release aim and [i]run[/i]. There's probably less than a second for you to do this, so imagine repeating this sequence few times, dying at the final part several dozen times because you [i]can't[/i] do it fast enough, and that's pretty much it for playing this game through without cheating.[/spoiler] [spoiler=Third grievance and a spoiler;Hide]Tom gets infected second time but I don't recall him getting an antidote, so I have to assume he spreads the parasites to the rest of the world.

Granted for completing levels, finding and collecting dead birds and metal plates (the metal plates especially are well hidden) and some special objects, from performing some feats in either firearm or melee combat, and one for playing the game through with only melee weapons.*The game was banned in Germany and all copies confiscated on basis of [url=http://www.iuscomp.org/gla/statutes/StGB.htm#131]StGB §131[/url].[spoiler=Birds;Hide bird tip]Birds can be found by following either the buzzing of flies or the squawking/flapping of live ones. Usually few birds are found by the help of a cinematic showing them - during conversation or just the camera passing by an angle from which they're visible - or the game allowing you to use the smell-o-detector (or whatever) to locate them.[/spoiler] [spoiler=Metal plates;Hide metal plate tip]Metal plates are surrounded by black scribbles of eyes and the occasional bird, but mostly just eyes.[/spoiler] [spoiler=Special;Hide special item tip]There's also one special item in each(?) level in the form of a TV with VCR nearby. These are usually in some side room or similar which easily go unnoticed and have no clear markers to guide you there (than perhaps the static sound coming from the TV).[/spoiler] Effectively all these challenge your ability to investigate and explore the levels to the fullest taking cues from audio and visual stimuli which the game uses quite brilliantly.**Working title: The Dark

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]
