Turok 2: Seeds of Evil	Acclaim Entertainment;Nightdive Studios (Iguana Entertainment;Nightdive Studios )	1998
Lands of Lore III	Electronic Arts (Westwood Studios)	1999	Practically unplayable on Windows XP and newer, crashes with segfault on lol3.dat whenever a video is about to play. This can be avoided by hitting esc key to skip it, but this requires reflexes and obviously depraves you of whatever bits of the story is revealed in them. Some have managed to run the game by removing certain background applications, but there seems to be no agreement what those are.*Latest version: 1.07a (as of 1999-05?)Comes on 4 CDs.[b][size=130]Easy To Play.

Four guilds, the mystic Dawn, and a magical familiar companion will aid you in this perilous task. Be brave or all shall be lost for eternity... even your very soul. [b]Knowledge At Your Fingertips[/b] Your in-game journal is a manual that builds itself, giving you all the information you need as soon a you need it. Never be lost. Never be confused. [b]Easy-to-Use Interface[/b] An intuitive inventory system puts a vast array of weapons, items and spells at your fingertips.

Dungeon Keeper 2	Electronic Arts (Bullfrog)	1999	[b]Minimum:[/b] * Windows 95 or 98 * 166 MHz Pentium MMX CPU * 32 MB RAM * 2 MB VRAM * 285 MB HD space * 4X CD-ROM drive * 28.8 Kbps internet connection for multiplayer [b]Recommended:[/b] * 266 MHz Pentium II CPU * 64 MB RAM * 3D accelerator w/ 4 MB VRAM*[b]sacrificing[/b] - once you've built a temple, you can sacrifice your minions there in hopes of summoning more powerful creatures, but without knowing what to sacrifice the minions are effectively wasted. This is rather unimpressive as you just grab your minions and drop them in the sacrificial pool surrounded by the hand icon and hope for the best.[b]Minions:[/b] Imp, FireFly, Goblin, Troll, Mistress, Warlock, Dark Elf, Skeleton, Salamander, Rogue, Bile Demon, Vampire, Black Knigt, Dark Angel, Horny [b]Goodly heroes:[/b] Dwarf, Fairie, Guard, Elven Archer, Thief, Knight, Monk, Wizard, Giant, King Hero listing is likely incomplete.*Comes on 2 CDs but I can't figure out what the second CD is for.The copy protection may cause problems on newer operating systems (namely XP SP2, Vista and later), but there's an unofficial "patch" for it that apparently removes the need for the CD to be in drive as side effect (although it still whines about it).**The sequel to the multi award winning Dungeon Keeper, the swansong of grandmaster Peter Molyneux before his departire from Bullfrog. The company, on doing this sequel, had to keep up with the original game's quality and fun. The problem was, without Molyneux. Thankfully, Bullfrog proved that they can still create classic games even without their former mentor. This game takes everything that made it's prequel great, and improves it all. Briefly, you an evil dungeon keeper (natch), that has to command the place in your reign of filth and decay. Also, protect the place from those damn goody-two-shoes who try to destroy your underground evil dungeon. I don't want tp spoil the game with words; you simply have to play it.
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.

[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.

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."
Wolfenstein	Activision (Raven Software;Id Software;Endrant Studios)	2009	[b]Minimum:[/b] * Windows XP or Vista * 3.2 GHz Pentium IV or Athlon 64 3400+ CPU * 1 GB RAM * 256 MB VRAM * GeForce 6800 or Radeon X800 GPU * 8 GB HD space*INT? 2009-10-13 on Steam, by Activision (lang: eng, fre, ger, ita, spa)*Set within a near-fictional, historical WWII setting, players take on the role of the heroic OSA agent BJ Blazkowicz as they are thrust into the unknown and unexpected to battle against combat troops, otherworldly forces, and the dark science created by a supernatural Nazi force hell-bent on world domination.

Assassin's Creed II	Ubisoft (Ubisoft Montreal)	2010	Con una gran variedad de misiones secundarias y mucha más exploración, parece mejor que el primer juego. Sin embargo, un Ezio con demasiados cachivaches (o demasiada munición según se mire) y con habilidades de combate demasiado poderosas (como poder bloquear con la hoja oculta) hacen que las misiones se tornen muy asequibles. Además el sigilo no prima tanto como en el primer juego. 7 de 10*Deluxe Edition adds 3 maps: Palazzo Medici, Santa Maria Dei Frari, and the Arsenal Shipyard. Ad speech mentions secret treasures and nothing else. Unknown if this means simply florins or actual equipment.Undefined game-play elements: blending in with the crowd, hiring prostitutes (or others?) to serve as cover (controllable crowd) or to distract those who'd wish you harm.**Continues Desmond Miles' story right where it ended in the first game, even if Altair is no longer his alter ego inside the Animus.

Saints Row: The Third	THQ (Volition)	2011	Uno de los sandbox más divertidos y absurdos que existen. Además de un multijugador para morirse de risa. Gangsta en estado puro. 8 de 10***Years after taking Stilwater for their own, the Third Street Saints have evolved from street gang to household brand name, with Saints sneakers, Saints energy drinks and Johnny Gat bobble head dolls all available at a store near you. The Saints are kings of Stilwater, but their celebrity status has not gone unnoticed. The Syndicate, a legendary criminal fraternity with pawns in play all over the globe, has turned its eye on the Saints and demands tribute. Refusing to kneel to the Syndicate, you take the fight to Steelport, a once-proud metropolis reduced to a struggling city of sin under Syndicate control. Take a tank skydiving, call in a satellite-targeted airstrike on a Mexican wrestling gang, and defend yourself against a highly-trained military force using only a sex toy in the most out- landish gameplay scenarios ever seen, igniting a city-wide war that will set Steelport on fire. Strap it on.
