The player is in a role of a gunner/shooter of a ship escaping an alien invasion in order to warn the rest of humanity of the incoming attack. It’s basically a rail shooter, so the player does not control the ship only defends it. There are 2 gun groups attached to the ship: upper and lower. As the player drags the mouse the cannon groups are switched to cover all the space around the ship. Each level has it’s story, but basically you need to take down all/most of the targets that are attacking and thus to survive. The levels last for 10 minutes each and are finished once the player reaches that time point – and is alive. The last level lasts a bit longer (15 minutes). The game contains 6 levels. After the level completion there is a shop with various utilities and armaments. Eg. better guns, shields, time-warp (slowdown), gun enhancements etc. Money(crystals) is gained by destroying alien ships – the better shooter you are more crystals for use in the shop. Are you up to the challenge space warrior? Game Features: Fastest and most intense 3d space shooter game you have ever seen – feel free to compare it to other games! * The ship is driven by the pilot, and you defend with 2 turrets (upper and lower) covering all the space around the vessel (this is a 3d "rail" shooter game) * Unique feel of intense battle and adrenalin pumping trough your veins * 6 blood pounding missions with great heavy metal tracks while shooting down the invading force, with an option of muting the music if you rather prefer silence or playing some custom tunes on your favorite player in the background * Hours and hours of fun play before you successfully survive the last world and inform humanity about the Acronians – rewarded by a neat animation at the end * Over one hour of constant action needed to finish the game (if you survive all the levels in a row, that is...) * 4 levels of difficulty (Rookie, Normal, Ace and Abnormal) * Incredible environments and planets (you can’t land, that’s a decoration only, but very detailed I should add). Indie or casual games ususally do not have that. * Flexible graphics settings to meet your hardware – indie or casual games usually do not have this – you can check the features and minimal/recommended specifications here * 3d explosions with debris falling of everything you shoot at, plus beautiful particle effects * Shop available at the end of each level: weapon, add-ons, shields, utilities, repair-bots... everything to make you happy. * Intro and game complete cut-scenes * Listen to in game chat of pilot, gunner and the ship’s AI to find out what happened meanwhile...

[Relic]***Introduces two new armies, the British 2nd and the German Panzer Elite, both with their own all new campaigns, too. British are slow-moving and highly defensive army and apparently has movable base unlike all the other armies, as well as tank airdrop and many other interesting and unique abilities. Panzer Elite on the other hand is a low number force of, you know, elite forces who're more suited for rushing the enemy in Blitzkrieg tactics and specializes on vehicular combat more than any other army. Apparently You won't need to have Opposing Fronts to play against their armies after a new patch is rolled out for the original game, although you won't be able to play _as_ either of the new armies if you don't get the expansion, nor likely are you able to play the two old armies if you don't have the original, but you can still play against those who either have only the expansion or only the original even if you only have the other.

The steel monster that once struggled so fiercely for life and freedom is now held captive by ices. All flesh aboard the ship has not only lost its normal appearance but even the right to die. Alexander Nesterov who comes from the world of warmth, life and motion finds himself in an environment alien to any thinking being, an everlasting reign of cold, non-existence and immobility, a closed world of a huge Atomic ice-breaker, a space tightly locked by the massive metallic structure. Cold, darkness, standstill, slowdown of time, physical and chemical process are factors that nourish and unite transformed crew of the Ship. Irrational aggression breaks out: 'Get lost! Don't disturb our regular existence, we are happy with everything. We enjoy our standstill'.

Dark Horizon	Akella;Paradox Interactive (Quazar Studio)	2008	The game ''Dark Horizon'' takes the player to the very beginning of the Second Era of Enosta Universe, about a century before the disappearance of the legendary cruiser ''Talestra''. This chronicle begins on a date which became a judgment day for many races of the Galaxy, when a new form of Mirk came into existence, later to be called ''De'Khete''. The player takes part in these events as a member of the race of Guardians. Once human, now transformed by the Mirk, the Guardians created their own world and found the strength to confront the incoming menace. ''Dark Horizons'' is a look at the past of the world through the eyes of those who are currently the spawns of the Mirk, and who's victories could give hope to many. During the missions, the player will have to go through a long and exhausting defense of the place that became the second home to the Guardians, fighting alongside the people transformed by the Mirk, who's powers lay beyond human comprehension. This is a story about the warriors of Vattar Ama'Dan fortress, called to defend the construction of the ''Light Core'', which would save billions of lives later on. Their heroism is immortalized in the Tarr Chronicles, the dark annals of the dying galaxy of Enosta. Features * A hybrid technology of two races, the Guardians and Bioses, is an example of cooperation against a common threat. More powerful ships of unusual construction, more powerful weapons. * Shadow mode allows you to become invisible to your enemies for a short period of time, while Corter mode significantly improves the power of your weapons. Only a skilful combination of these two modes will allow the player to complete the game. * Now you have the option of constructing not only special devices for your ship, but also new weapons. Having studied the enemy, the player will be able to assemble a more effective combat equipment in any quantities, limited only be the available resources. * Interacting with your allies will allow you to deal with difficult enemies more effectively.

Additionally, our hero urgently requires credits in order to purchase better equipment such as weapons and shields. This is where the freedom of choice is applied as the player will be able to earn credits in many different ways: assignments, bounty hunting, piracy, smuggling, trading, escorting, transport, rewards ... Key Features Elaborate story, related by more than fifty minutes of video sequences * Upgradeable space ship "Darkstar One": The player decides which type of spacecraft he prefers - a fast attack ship with many light weapons or a near-invincible cruiser with heavy weaponry * Over two hundred different weapons, shields and equipment items * Rockets, torpedoes and mines feature special tactical uses: mines can tactically fire at opponents or distract approaching missiles * The "Spell Weapon": the player will have a special weapon at his disposal that will have an area of effect similar to certain spells in role-playing games. This weapon will become increasingly versatile throughout the game and it will increase the tactical potential considerably. * A vast, simulated universe with numerous, completely different races, space ships and battle tactics. * Each race features distinctive weapon types with different functions that require different battle tactics. The player will be able to acquire these weapons in order to mount them on the "Darkstar One". * Special missions, for example in canyons, on the surface of planets or inside of planets * Freedom of choice: the player may earn his credits in many ways, i.e. fighting, piracy, assignments, smuggling, trading, escorting, transporting, rewards ... * Follow your own path, be it "good" or "bad", and take advantage of political disputes. * Compatible with mouse, joystick and gamepad. [Ascaron]*[b]health warning[/b] — you start hearing a warning sound. when viewing the game from the cockpit you see the red warning light flashing on the 3D HUD and even being reflected on the canopy (though lack of the protagonist's reflection is a bit strange at these times. [b]monster generators[/b] — cruisers spew forth an infinite number of fighters, so you can't kill their supports first and then the cruiser, you need to destroy the cruiser first or you have an endless and fruitless battle at your hands.Belongs to the same family of spaceflight games as Elite, Freelancer and X. The basic controls are similar to Freelancer, which means the game plays great with mouse and keyboard alone with no need for joystick. The game's story is odd as it states that the DarkStar One is an organic ship, but it is one of the most mechanical looking ones out there (with very out-of-place camo paintjob).2008-02-14 on Steam, by Strategy First (lang: eng)*Reminded me of [[game:Wing Commander]], [[game:Tie Fighter]], etc. from the good old days, so I thought I'd pick it up. The game sounded pretty interesting, but I couldn't really play it for more than five minutes without encountering some major graphical errors or just outright crashes. Funny thing is, when the game crashes, it gives you an error report in German--how helpful! [cjlee001]

Europa Universalis III	Paradox Interactive (Paradox Development Studio)	2007	Es uno de los reyes de la estrategia a gran escala, enfocándose no sólo en el avance militar sino en todos los apectos de un gobierno moderno, pudiendo conspirar, embargar, aliarse por matrimonios, etc... con otros gobiernos. Muy detallista en sus aspectos, aunque cuesta entender su sistema de control y la cantidad abrumadora de datos y mensajes a veces lo convierta en un juego muy complejo. Lo mejor del juego es el sistema de objetivo nacional y le hecho de que puedes personalizar tus ejércitos hasta en el nombre de sus divisiones. Como crítica: es un juego tan inestable que crashea con una frecuencia inaudita. Muy buen juego, imprescindible saga si te gusta la estrategia. 7 de 10

Exodus from the Earth	1C Company;Strategy First (Parallax Arts Studio)	2008	[b]shotguns[/b] - a triple-barreled shotgun.*Latest version: retailExodus From the Earth is a a CyberPunk FPS taking place in 2016. Mankind believes it'll be five billion years before the Earth begins to die. However, recent findings show that the earth is living its last twenty years and the Sun is to become an ever-increasing "Red Giant", burning everything around it and turning the Earth into a lifeless hell. The population is now faced with the monumental task of either adapting human beings for living in extraterrestrial conditions, or finding an Earth-like planet where people can live. The A.X. Corporation, which now rules the Earth, and is the largest genetic and space military engineering company, has undertaken the task of conducting research. After a while, the Corporation offered the technology that could allow human beings to survive in any alien extraterrestrial environment. On a distant planet they found a mineral from which they could produce a vaccine that would allow human beings to live in any environment. The Corporation's proposal was to inject their vaccine into every person and then move to some other planet beyond the solar system. Despite the fact that the first experiments have been successful, the Government has been very confused being entirely dependent on the Corporation. And furthermore, nobody knows how the mineral will affect human organisms. At the same time, according to their information there was an astronaut, John Rick, who had supposedly found a so-called "Second Earth" which was a planet with an Earth-like environment. Based on secret information, John Rick returned from his space expedition and disappeared. The Intelligence Agency suspects the Corporation, headed by Jack Crizby, of removing John Rick in order to conquer all of mankind for their financial interests. Harry Southgate, who is the head of The Intelligence Agency, has commissioned the main hero whose name is Francis Rixon, to find out what is happening inside the Corporation's confines and to get the information about the mineral and the Earth-like planet, should it really exist. Mike Sullivan – an owl at the territory of the A.X. Corporation – is working to help Frank in reaching his goal. Mike is the Chief Security Guard of the Corporation's inside locations and his mission is to lead Frank to the head office of the A.X. Corporation where all the information might be stored.
