Cities XL Platinum Focus Home Interactive2013Es muy similar al Cities XL 2011, del cual se puede considerar un remake/expansión.
Sin embargo, algunos de los edificios nuevos rellenan nichos muy necesarios (evitan ciertos saltos que había) y el ayudante es mucho menos insistente, más eficaz y sobretodo mucho más presente (anteriormente pecaba de decirte problemas ya solucionados hasta que se actualizaba)

En resumen, un simulador de ciudades en el cual puedes tratar de crear una población y no fallar en los 10 primeros intentos, y además muy fluido.

Cities XL 2011 Focus Home Interactive (Focus Home Interactive;Monte Cristo)2010El juego que se ocupó de llenar el vacío que tantos años provocó el parón de la saga SimCity.

Tiene un enfoque más realista que la susodicha referencia, con entornos de geografías creíbles y trazados más libres y adaptados al paisaje.

Y aunque es difícil mantenerse a flote econonómicamente, no es tan imposible como para tener al asesor de economía, a la Maxis, todo el rato chillando.

Como contra nombraría la imposibilidad de conectar ciudades de la forma en la cual se podía en el SimCity 4 (se pueden conectar, pero su cercanía no es relevante), y una interfaz algo compleja.

7 de 10***A non-free large update to the original Cities XL, though through some channels owners of the original could get significant (50%) discount on the 2011 edition.***Imagine and Conceive cities of all types and sizes on Cities XL planet.

The Whispered World  Deep Silver;Viva Media (Daedalic Entertainment)2009The Whispered World is an impressive project developed by a graphic designer student in Germany named Marco Hullen. It tells the story of a boy named Sadwick. He roams the country with his family in a circus wagon and earns his living as a clown. One night he has a dream and a blue spirit tells him that he has to embark on a great journey to enlightenment in order to find the sense of life. Since his life as a clown is not a very fulfilling one, he jumps on the opportunity and leaves his family, attempting to trace the great secret. So the great journey through a fantasy world begins. The game includes over 20 sceneries and is sort of a cartoon movie played by your self. Sadwick is accompanied by his pet (a small worm) that will provide some funny moments throughout the game's story. Some of the noteworthy events that will take place in the game include Sadwick meeting a troll under a gigantic bridge, seeing carnivorous birds, entering a village on the back of an eagle and finally solving the mystery of the game in the palace of the mirror natures. In May/2014, a Special Edition was released which included exclusive contents, such as audio comments, featuring the games' authors Jan 'Poki' Mueller-Michaelis and Marco Huellen, a completely overhauled tutorial as well as new achievements.***

Blood Bowl  Cyanide2009Blood Bowl is the video game adaptation of Games Workshop's famous board game of the same name.

A brutal team sport unfolding in a parallel fantasy world based on Warhammer and American football, Blood Bowl invites gamers to form a team of players from such races as: Orcs, Elves, Humans, Dwarfs and many other fantasy creatures, and launch themselves into battle in the bloodiest of arenas. This strategy sports game combines a fine balance of tactics and bone crunching action!

The game offers two game modes. The first, which is fully real time, offers a spectacular gameplay. Intense battles between blocking linemen and daring displays of agility of players leaping and dodging through opponents tackle zones, while powerful spells and dirty trick special plays are unleashed across the pitch; all this creates a highly charged atmosphere. Of course, since it is sometimes difficult to keep an eye on the entire field at once, the game's interface offers different tactical and strategic setups, while the AI is responsible for managing the players on the field.

The second game mode, an actual turn-based game, is a treat for players of the original board game because it is an exact replica of Games Workshop's tabletop masterpiece. The original rules have been faithfully reproduced, and it contains all of the devices, strategies, play and rhythm of the original game.

The single-player experience allows the player to manage a team throughout an entire season of Blood Bowl, through the Old World of Warhammer. The team will evolve over the course of victories, experience gained and awards won. With its immense depth, the game can almost be considered as a management game, from managing the popularity and sponsorship of players to the purchase and sale of players, as well as their aging, retirement and even death.

In multiplayer, the player will be able to throw down a challenge to other Blood Bowl players and participate in large tournaments on the Internet in order to climb the official ranks.

When a thief named Deckard is hired to steal an ancient artifact, he unwittingly triggers a war between man and myth.

Griffons rule the skies, Werewolves tear the innocent limb from limb and cities are held under siege as creatures we'd dismissed as imaginings of our ancestors prove to be very real and very angry for being held prisoner for untold millennia.

As the only person able to return these creatures to the box, Deckard finds that he must work with a shadowy secret society to save civilization before it is torn apart by tooth and claw.

Caught between two rival factions in war-torn Africa, you are sent to take out "The Jackal", a mysterious character who has rekindled the conflict between the warlords, jeopardizing thousands of lives.

WEAPONS OF CHOICE

Choose from a wide range of weapons to make your way to your primary target. Meet the fight head-on with your machine-gun, go berserk with your machete or make stealth kills as a Sniper.

Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3  Electronic Arts (EA Los Angeles)2008In Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 hopeless leaders of a doomed Soviet Union travels back in time so that they can change history. A new alternate timeline appears where the Soviets now find themselves as the leading superpower but also discover something else has gone terribly wrong. World War III is raging, the Japanese Empire of the Rising Sun has risen in the east challenging the Soviet bid for world domination. A three-way war now emerges between the Soviet Union, the Allies, and a new Empire of the Rising Sun faction.

The game follows the tradition of the Command & Conquer series where the player must build up bases and produce a massive attack force to destroy all enemies. The player may choose any one of the three factions, each with a different array of infantry, armored vehicles, aircraft, ships to fight with, as well as buildings with new technologies, upgrades, and the all-powerful super weapons. Players do all their building from a sidebar, this allows them to create production queues and deploy structures fast and easily.***

Crysis Warhead  EA Partners (Crytek Studios - Budapest)2008Aunque 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. The lack of subtitle separation is somewhat unusual.***Comes on 2 DVDs, with Warhead on the first and Crysis Wars (the multiplayer part) on the second. Both require separate installation.***Catalog number: [code]EAE07706196[/code]***[b]Minimum:[/b]

* 15 GB HD space***Adapt. Engage. Dominate!

Take on the fight as the volatile Sergeant "Psycho" Sykes in a new parallel story taking place during the events of Crysis. Psycho's secret mission will take him to the other side of the island on a ruthless pursuit of a North Korean general hell-bent on obtaining powerful technology. With the versatile powers of his Nanosuit and an arsenal of fully customizable weapons & vehicles at his disposal, Sykes will do whatever it takes to carry out his top-secret objective.

Action on the other side of the island is more intense, the battles are fierce, and the mission protocol is no longer "Adapt to Survive". As Sergeant Sykes, now you must adapt to dominate the battle. Twin SMG's blazing, seizing new vehicles, or going stealth, the action and the victory is on your terms.

* Pulse-racing new installment from 2007's PC Game of the Year*: Play as Sergeant Sykes and experience a whole new side of the battle. A standard combat mission behind enemy lines becomes critical when you discover your enemies have captured something of vital importance to the ensuing war. It's down to you to retrieve the cargo, at any cost.
* More explosive and dynamic minute to minute game play: new customizable weapons, new vehicles, new photorealistic locations to explore, and a fully interactive war zone to dominate.
* Enhanced human and alien AI: Intelligent enemies, bigger challenges, and all-new ally squad support.
* Includes Crysis Wars , an expanded new multiplayer experience with new online modes and 21 maps including seven all-new maps to battle it out against other players.
* Crysis Warhead is a standalone release and does not require ownership of Crysis to play.

Besides that, the concepts and gameplay elements they've invented up are quite refreshing, but don't do much in the light of the bugs that prevent you from enjoying it.

After crashing or otherwise exhibiting bugs, it is good idea to exit the game and delete Alone_Data_DFE folder and possibly drm_dyndata_*.dll file in the system temp folder. Removing these seems to at least temporarily fix any bugging, until Eden Games releases a patch for the issues.***EU 2008-06-20

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]

* 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.

STORY

The story begins in A.D. 2741 on a distant planet called Morningstar Prime, a world initially colonized during the 24th century by Crayven Corporation from Earth. Morningstar Prime is but one of hundred planets discovered during mankinds reemergence from the Third World War. Morningstar Prime resembles Earth in many ways, it features indigenous life forms and a similar but still different flora and fauna.

The Great War with the Terran Empire has forced the originally democratic twelve city-states of Morningstar Prime to unite under one military leader and the flag of the Northern Star Alliance.

Battlefield Lost
During the First Stellar War in the 25th Century, the Crayven Corporation lost contact with the colony on Morningstar Prime, leaving them and the other colonies in the outer fringes to fend for themselves. In 2701, the new Terran Empire returned to the outer fringes with the intent of reconquering those colonies. The Imperial forces initially expected little resistance, having assumed that Morningstar would have been devastated and regressed like many other outer colonies.

The first Imperial strike was sudden and savage but the NSA managed to defeat the strike fleet, much thanks to the military competence and leadership of Fleet Admiral T Parker. The initial victory allowed NSA to improve their defenses and gear up for war. Fleet Admiral T Parker, an experienced and wise commander knew that they had won the battle but not the war. She initiated several projects that would search for a long-term solution to the threat from the Terran Empire.

In the following years, the war continued to be fought in space. For several years the Terran Empire attacked NSA space, destroying its colonies one by one, enslaving the people and getting closer to Morningstar Prime, the NSA home world. In 2730, after 29 years of constant war, NSA lost the last of their huge Fortress class ships along with the majority of all their capital ships in a decisive battle outside Morningstar. The NSA had in one single battle lost all their space capability and was at the mercy of the Empire. The Terran Empire ignored all negotiations for peace, they held true to their long-kept tradition: leave no pardon, no surrender.

Fortunately, Fleet Admiral T Parkers' legacy was already in action. Huge electromagnetic domes had been erected on Morningstar Prime to shield the largest cities from orbital bombardment. But they never had the time nor the resources to shield all cities; millions died in month long planetary bombardments. Several urban areas were reduced to piles of rubble and eerie graveyards.

The war entered a brief state of stalemate, as the Empire was unable to penetrate the shields while the NSA were being held prisoners in their own shields. The stalemate was broken when the Empire managed to land their first troopships in the bombarded regions outside the domes.

Jacob Angelus' Company has been sent to Morningstar capitol, where situation is becoming more and more critical and desperate.
For NSA, destiny is at hand; its only hope lies in an ancient and forgotten legend...
