| System Shock 2 | Electronic Arts;Night Dive Studios (Looking Glass Studios;Irrational Games) | 1999 | The developer desired to create a Linux version of this game but did not have access to the source code. When pressed for further details they say that the source code is lost. Subsequently, there is an officially supported wine based Linux port available on Steam. Further reports suggest that a stolen version of the source code may be in the possession of an illegal hacker. Sections of this stolen code are available on the web but because of current US copyright law the stolen code cannot be used by anyone, including current ligitimate developers of the game.***MPN: [code]LGE08902537S[/code] (box), [code]LGE08902537CA[/code] (other side of the box), [code]LGE08902537IB[/code] (jewel case), [code]LGE08902537D[/code] (CD) GTIN/EAN-13: [code]5030930021290[/code]***[b]Minimum:[/b] * Windows 95 or 98 * 200 MHz Pentium CPU * 32 MB free RAM * 2 MB VRAM * 250 MB HD space [b]Recommended:[/b] * 300 MHz Pentium II CPU * 64 MB free RAM * 4 MB VRAM * 3D accelerator * 550 MB HD space***UNIQUE COMBINATION OF SCI-FI HORROR AND ROLE PLAYING AND 1ST-PERSON GAMEPLAY Enter the O.S.A. to fine-tune your mind to manipulate your environment and carry out deadly psionic warfare.

[Box blurb]***[b]missing images[/b] - title screen, more in-game screens [b]install OS limit[/b] - refuses installation on NT-based machines, citing DX6 limitations. This can be skipped by adding [code]-lgntforce[/code] command-line option to the setup program. [b]adv-xpdistr[/b] - there's really no experience, only "cyber modules" which are awarded at varying quantities upon completing tasks related to the main plot and occasionally found from the game world. These are used to buy upgrades to the protagonist's "cyber rig", each subsequent upgrade costing more cyber modules than the last (for skills the initial cost is also much higher than few of the following upgrades to them).

Obviously there's no cure for them besides death (and even if there was, hardly any would wish to live as such horribly mutated creature). -- averted telekinesis - only used to take items from a distance, not to manipulate them or any other objects***Latest version: 2.3 (as of 1999-09)***"System Shock 2 is the sequel to [company=Looking Glass Studios]Looking Glass Studios[/company] / [company=Origin System]Origin System[/company] 1994 PC and Macintosh title, [game=#33139]System Shock[/game]. Like System Shock 1, there will be persistent levels (i.e., drop an item on one level, and you could go back later to retrieve it), gameplay elements like logs, inventory, skills, persistent world, leaning, hacking, RPG elements, multiple weapons and enemies, and a compelling storyline. Unlike most other first person shooters, the purpose of System Shock was not to kill everything in sight; nor was it a "find the key to move onto the next level" game. The plot was always present, but not so confining as in traditional shooters—there was almost always more than one task to accomplish. Levels were realistically designed and had logical reasons behind them. It is the principle of System Shock 2 to continue this game design." | labelimagesubject |
| Max Payne | Take 2 Interactive;Gathering of Developers (Remedy Entertainment) | 2001 | Un shooter con un especial énfasis en el uso del entorno y sobretodo en el empleo de "tiempo bala" y de esquivas de todo tipo. Además tiene una historia muy interesante y con elementos, como las viñetas o las fases oníricas, que le vienen como anillo al dedo para crear esa atmósfera miserable de una tragedia noir. 8 de 10***Max Payne is a man with nothing to lose in the violent, cold urban night. A fugitive undercover cop framed for murder, and now hunted by cops and the mob. Max is a man with his back against the wall, fighting a battle he cannot hope to win. Prepare for a new breed of deep action game. Prepare for pain... Developed by Remedy Entertainment and produced by 3D Realms, Max Payne is a relentless story-driven game about a man on the edge, fighting for his justice while uncovering plot-twists and twisted thugs in the gritty bowels of New York during the century's worst blizzard. Max Payne is an original third-person 3D game based on the MAX-FX engine, and uses photo-digitized textures, resulting in one of the most realistic looking games ever seen.***Max Payne is a cool game. Nice story line, good playing, especially when we have many mod to play. 5 Stars for Max Payne. [zbig13]***The first action game to approach Half-Life in terms of playability. Impressive originality, such as Bullet Time, made it a benchmark game for 2001, improving on Half-Life in many fields, yet still not fully attracting the support the former got. | labelimagesubject |

| Shadowgrounds | Plan 1;Meridian4 (Frozenbyte) | 2005 | Juego de acción cenital. Aunque su historia y jugabilidad son bastante corrientes, su control y cámara marcan la diferencia por su perfecto manejo. Además el hecho de la batería limitada hace usarla cuando es debido (no sólo cuando hay oscuridad) un elemento clave, trayendo reminiscencias del primer Half-Life. De lo mejor de este tipo de juegos, aunque la secuela Shadowgrounds:Survivor es mejor. 6 de 10***[b]distorted vision[/b] - getting poisoned causes this***Shadowgrounds breathes fresh air into the action genre with explosive combat sequences, an innovative weapon upgrade system, and an intriguing storyline. The adrenaline-pumping, top-down gameplay and audiovisual fireworks set the scene for this new action experience which also includes single computer (split keyboard or joystick) co-op play. UPGRADE THOSE WEAPONS! Use a devastating arsenal of high-tech weaponry to dispose of the alien threat. Each weapon has multiple upgrades that maximize the carnage. Unleash the flames of the Flamethrower's Fuel Trap, cause mayhem with the Grenade Launcher's Poison Grenades, slash and dice the monsters with the Laser Rifle's Pinpoint Laser - and many more! WHAT LURKS IN THE SHADOWS? Shadowgrounds uses cutting-edge realistic lighting and glow technology to light up the battlefield and create detailed shadows producing an atmosphere of fear. But the lighting and the flashlight also affect some aliens' behavior – take advantage of that and you can turn the tide in the game of fear by using your flashlight effectively. DESTRUCTIBLE ENVIRONMENT! What good are weapons and special effects if you can't wreak havoc on the environment? Shadowgrounds lets you go all-out - glass shatters, ground shakes, trees fall, barrels explode and furniture blows to smithereens. You can use the environment to your advantage. THEY'RE BIG AND NASTY! Big, brutal monsters await you. Prepare to face many different bosses who will do anything to stop your journey. They're nasty, blood-thirsty beasts, but don't give in to fear - remember to use the environment and the lighting to your advantage! * Upgrade weaponry with powerful modifications. * Face enormous monsters in boss battles. * Destructible environment allows you to wreak havoc with your arsenal. * Visit many exciting locations, including a secret military base and the alien-infested colony New Atlantis. * Fight side-by-side with NPC allies against the massive alien hordes. * Check security cameras and computer logs to investigate alien origins. * Realistic lighting with gameplay effects bring the aliens out of the shadows. * Enjoy horrifying sound effects and a thrilling music soundtrack made exclusively for Shadowgrounds.

| Alpha Prime | IDEA Games;Meridian4 (Black Element Software) | 2006 | [b]unusual protagonist[/b] — the protagonist is the only person (in game, though in background story he is only one of few) resistant to the mind altering effects of "hubbardium", using it to induce a "reflex boost" state at which time seems to slow down, instead of causing delirium and addiction.***Strong story, fast paced shooting action. However, if you cannot shoot, then there is your RECON, hacking device enabling you to remotely control various devices you meet on your way through the dark halls and corridors of Alpha Prime. If that's not enough, you can drug your mind and sharpen your senses by injecting a small dose of hubbardium. And all the time you will be surrounded by physical world in a very literal sense, because almost everything that moves, moves thanks to advanced real-time physics algorithms. * Hacking – need to know who or what is hiding around the corner or behind the door? Use the camera and everything will be revealed at once! * Remote control – make use of the environment and clear your way without having to actually fight! * Machines – have you something heavy to move somewhere else, remove an obstacle from your path? Do you want to get to some otherwise unreachable location? No problem. Just use this Loader. * Bullet time – time seems to fly too quickly to your liking? A small dose of hubbardium will fix it. For a time... * Car – nothing like a little ride under the starlit sky! Jump in and enjoy the otherworldly vistas of Alpha Prime! * Compatible with Matrox TripleHead2Go , enabling gamers to connect 3 screens with a maximum resolution of up to 3840x1024*.

| Mass Effect | Microsoft Game Studios (BioWare;Demiurge Studios) | 2008 | Mass Effect is a military science fiction media franchise created by Casey Hudson, Drew Karpyshyn and Preston Watamaniuk. The franchise depicts a distant future where humanity and several alien civilizations have colonized the known universe using technology left behind by advanced precursor civilizations.*** [100]*** [12]***Latest version: 1.02 (as of ?) Version history: * 1.01 (?)***Not as great as I expected, and the driving around in Mako is horrible most of the time as well as the final bit of the ending just makes me feel sickly. My recommendation is, if you want to enjoy this game, stick to the main story and avoid any side exploration/quests completely, and try to bear the last bit of the ending (the parts where humans talk). Replayability comes mostly from dialogs as otherwise the game gets quite dull, and unfortunately you need those dialogs to progress your renegade/paragon ranks to open the more interesting dialog choices since these are separate from your regular leveling and skills.***[b]Free expansions:[/b] * [url=http://masseffect.bioware.com/galacticcodex/bringdownthesky.html]Bring Down the Sky[/url] [b]Non-free expansions:[/b] * Pinnacle Station (2009-10)***Comes on 2 DVDs but I have no idea what the second DVD is supposed to be for (backup?).***[b]technomagic[/b] — the "biotics" used in the game do not really fit into any of the groups we have neatly, technomagic and psionics being the closest, but since the ME universe also has psychics, technomagic is all that there's left. [b]multiple endings[/b] — more like ending with variations; the core of it stays the same. [spoiler=Ending spoiler;Close spoiler]However, a notable difference is that if the alien council survived or not, depending on if you chose to save them. If you didn't, humanity will take charge, otherwise humanity is invited to take place as the fourth council race. Other, "more important", details stay the same regardless.[/spoiler] [b]special agent protagonist[/b] — player is appointed a job similar to this somewhat early in the game, so this isn't true from the start. [b]nationalism[/b] — the protagonist and his higher ups are constantly trying to drive the cause of the Human Alliance, it's importance and how you're part of it is constantly hammered at you and occasionally you get to do the same for others. [b]unlikely sentients[/b] — Rachni, Geth to some degree (in mythos puts them on par with rogue A.I.), the plant creature, and some others [b]dialog-keywords[/b] / [b]dialog-stance[/b] — some are full sentences but not actually what is said, generally these are only choices on what to discuss and [i]how[/i] to respond (aggressively or calm negotiator style)***[b]Minimum:[/b] * Windows XP or Vista * 2.4 GHz Intel or 2.0 GHz AMD CPU * 1 GB RAM (XP), 2 GB RAM (Vista) * GPU w/ Shader Model 3.0 * GeForce 6800 or ATI X1300 XT * 12 GB free HD space * 1X DVD-ROM drive [b]Recommended:[/b] * 2.6+ GHz Intel or 2.4+ GHz AMD CPU * 2 GB RAM * ATI X1800 XL or GeForce 7900 GTX or better***US 2008-05-27 EU 2008-06-05 | labelimagesubject |

| Resident Evil 5 | Capcom | 2009 | In Resident Evil 5, returning hero Chris Redfield is sent to Africa to investigate a biological weapon that is transforming the populace into aggressive and disturbing creatures. Joined by another local BSAA agent, Sheva Alomar, the two must work together to solve the truth behind the frightening turn of events. Featuring a revolutionary new co-op mode of gameplay, Resident Evil 5 will let players experience fear together as terror moves out of the shadows and into the light of day. The PC version of Resident Evil 5 features online play for co-operative play sessions over the internet and will also take advantage of NVIDIA’s new GeForce 3D Vision technology.***RE5 sees the return of Las Plagas and some even older monsters as well as some completely new.***[b]cooperation[/b] - minimal; most commonly you just have to wait for the other player at the exit if they're far away. Seen with Chris helping Sheva reach higher ground, or one of the characters holding a door open while the other goes through and unblocks another route for the first character (happens several times). Besides those there's very little. [b]newgame+[/b] - unlocks mercenaries mode (survival mode) and allows playing the story as Sheva, possibly some other changes as well. [b]limited capacity[/b] - 9 item slots per character, only ammo and grenades can be stacked (and even them in very limited manner), body armor peculiarly takes item slots and stacking is limited vaguely by item usefulness, not size.
