| 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 |
| Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast | LucasArts (Raven Software) | 2002 | The game has an extra stage for the demo, that is kind of well made and replayable (outstanding in demo standards)***Este es uno de esos juegos que tratas de evaluar casi negativamente para intentar compensar el subidón de nostalgia. Sin embargo, en este caso redescubrí que convertía este juego en GENIAL. Un diseño de niveles que prima la rejugabilidad de sus pantallas, con diversas maneras de solventar muchas zonas y combates, y una gran variedad de entornos y de cambios de horizontalidad-verticalidad. Un sistema triple de armamento (sable-armas-fuerza) muy equilibrado, obligándote a alternar entre ellos y no haciendo menos peligrosa a una patrulla armada que a un par de sith despistados. Enfrentamientos de sable que pueden acabar rápido o alargarse según tu habilidad (especialmente notable en el enfrentamiento final, que puede hacerse larguísimo o solventarse con un sólo mandoblazo) Porque los sables CORTAN, no se sobrevive a mucho más de 1 o 2 golpes. Y el sistema de 3 tipos de combate (poderoso-equilibrado-rápido) es sencillo pero versátil. Una historia entretenida, y un protagonista sin parangón (hasta su grito de muerte mola) Y como copete, un multijugador impecable, con situaciones memorables como el arrastrar contigo a alguien al vacío con el estrangulamiento o que todo un equipo se te lance encima cuando llevas la bandera y descarguen una tormenta perfecta. 9 de 10***2009-09-16 on Steam, by LucasArts (lang: eng, fre, ger, ita, spa)***In the tradition of the multi-award-winning Star Wars Jedi Knight : Dark Forces II, rebel agent Kyle Katarn returns in exhilarating first-person action. Several years have passed since Kyle avenged his father's death and saved the Valley of the Jedi from Jerec and his band of Dark Jedi. Allowing his Force powers to languish for fear of falling to the Dark side, Kyle set aside his lightsaber, vowing never to use it again. But when a new and menacing threat to the galaxy emerges, Kyle knows he must reclaim his past in order to save his future. Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast is being developed in partnership with Activision's critically acclaimed developer Raven Software. Players assume the role of Kyle as they employ a unique mix of weapons, Force powers and your lightsaber in both single- and multiplayer modes. * Expanded and enhanced use of the lightsaber features a slew of attack and defense moves * Tap into the powers of the Force including Jump, Push, Jedi Mind Tricks and more * Employ combat or stealth, depending on the situation. When a fight is necessary, be at the ready with an arsenal of weapons: stun baton, Bryar blast pistol, blaster rifle to name but a few * Explore breathtaking Star Wars locales--Cloud City, the Jedi Academy on Yavin 4, Nar Shaddaa, the smugglers' moon--plus some never-before-seen locations * Multi-player options including, deathmatch, saber-only deathmatch, and team capture the flag * Developed in conjunction with the critically acclaimed Raven Software using a modified Quake III Team Arena engine [Raven]***I finished it all, and it's really a great game!!! Light saber looks so real!!!!***I like it but i stuck on a level in the middle of the game and i leave it. [Butch Willis] | labelimagesubject |

| Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne | Take 2 Interactive;Rockstar Games (Remedy Entertainment) | 2003 | En cuanto a la jugabilidad, mejora y pule todo lo visto en el anterior juego. Sin embargo, peca de un argumento ya demasiado noir y poco creíble, con una fuerte carga fílmica que no le favorece mucho. 7 de 10***Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne is a violent, film-noir love story. Dark, tragic and intense, the in-depth story is a thrill-ride of shocking twists and revelations. Love hurts. Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne delivers the most intense gameplay experience imaginable. The fierce, yet stylish action sequences and slow-motion gunplay that has become synonymous with Max Payne is back and better than ever. New and enhanced moves and options provide breathtaking cinematic game play. Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne raises the bar on action games all over again. | labelimagesubject |
| Lugaru: The Rabbit's Foot | Wolfire Games | 2005 | Lugaru (pronounced Loo-GAH-roo) is the predecessor to Overgrowth. It is a DRM-free, third-person action game available for Mac, Windows, and Linux. The main character, Turner, is an anthropomorphic rebel bunny rabbit with impressive combat skills. In his quest to find those responsible for slaughtering his village, he uncovers a far-reaching conspiracy involving the corrupt leaders of the rabbit republic and the starving wolves from a nearby den. Turner takes it upon himself to fight against their plot and save his fellow rabbits from slavery.***Lugaru source code was released under GPL license on 2010-05-11. This presumably only includes the game engine code and not the artistic assets. For more info, see: [url]http://blog.wolfire.com/2010/05/Lugaru-goes-open-source[/url] Lugaru HD is the same game but includes a fan-made high definition texture pack by Tim Soret which was originally available as a free mod to the game, but was at some point later (2009-05) included in the base game's download as well. | labelimagesubject |

| Fallout 3 | Bethesda Softworks (Bethesda Game Studios) | 2008 | A spin and rebirth of the saga, brings back a desolate atmosphere but in FPS-packed-action; neverless, the VATS compensates incredibly for the turn-system action. Sadly, the story empowers epicness over good story, with immortal characters an black/white characters in general (there are exceptions) But is important for being the predecessor of Fallout: New Vegas, who is better in every way possible and retakes the old developers of Fallout 1 and 2. 8 de 10***[b]Non-free add-ons:[/b] (DLC) * [url=http://fallout.bethsoft.com/eng/info/opanc.html]Operation: Anchorage[/url] (2009-01-27) * [url=http://fallout.bethsoft.com/eng/info/thepitt.html]The Pitt[/url] (2009-03-24) * Broken Steel (2009-05-05) * Point Lookout (2009-06-23) * Mothership Zeta (2009-07-29?)

| The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings | CD Projekt;Atari;Namco Bandai Games (CD Projekt RED) | 2011 | Mejora lo visto en el anterior juego, especialmente con un combate muchísimo más fluido pero manteniendo su base rolera, y ciertos elementos de acción muy acertados. 9 de 10***[b]Minimum:[/b] * Windows XP, Vista, or 7 * 2.2 GHz Core 2 Duo CPU * 1 GB RAM (2 GB for Vista/7) * 512 MB VRAM * GeForce 8800 GPU * 16 GB HD space [b]Recommended:[/b] * Quad-core CPU * 3 GB RAM (4 GB for Vista/7) * 1 GB VRAM * GeForce 260 or Radeon HD 4850 GPU***The second instalment in the RPG saga about the Witcher, Geralt of Rivia, features a thoroughly engrossing, mature storyline defining new standards for thought-provoking, non-linear game narration. In addition to an epic story, the game features an original, brutal combat system that uniquely combines tactical elements with dynamic action. A new, modern game engine, responsible both for beautiful visuals and sophisticated game mechanics puts players in the most lively and believable world ever created in an RPG game. A captivating story, dynamic combat system, beautiful graphics, and everything else that made the original Witcher such a great game are now executed in a much more advanced and sophisticated way. Key features: * A truly epic, intense, emotionally charged adventure with non-linear game narration. Three independent plot lines with several alternative events are dependent on the player’s choices and lead to multiple different game endings and several additional plot forks. This time gameplay time will be shorter than The Witcher 1, but more intense and packed with events. * A complex, realistic and mature story touching upon subject matter seldom seen in other RPGs, told in a manner that is understandable and attractive to contemporary gamers. We investigate the assassinations of the rulers of the Northern Kingdoms and follow Geralt’s personal theme, in which he’s looking for his own identity. Gradually we learn how powerful forces influence our situation and what role they order us to play. * Rich, mature dialogue as found in Andrzej Sapkowski’s book series and The Witcher 1, presented in highly filmic cutscenes and dialogues sequences, thanks to a new game engine. * New, improved system of flashbacks. Now the reminiscences of Geralt, in which we observe the link between our past choices with current actions, are realistically and smoothly woven into the gameplay. * Unique, deep, consistent and rich game world established in a series of best-selling books by A. Sapkowski and recreated in the game to provide an incredible, believable story-driven experience. * Believable, true-to-life characters with their own motivations and goals. During our journey we meet ordinary men, soldiers, rebels, powerful mages, rulers and their assassins. Depending on our decisions we meet different game characters, and our relationships shape further actions in the game. * Highly varied, breathtaking locations, which thanks to the new engine create a cohesive, fully accessible world! * Rich, living world in which every character has their own way of life and unique occupations. Our actions modify the relationship with the game-world population and, in the case of the main plot line, open or close the possibilities of interaction with the game world. * Greater freedom of exploration to provide increased game realism and a wider range of new tactical options. Geralt will surmount barriers, jump over fences, scale walls and ascend rock formations. | labelimagesubject |
| F.E.A.R. 3 | WB Games (Day 1 Studios) | 2011 | Alma is expecting and a new level of terror grows as you and your cannibal brother battle through a hellish nightmare. Fight together or die alone on a deadly mission to confront your twisted mother. Players can take on the role of Point Man, a genetically enhanced soldier with superhuman reflexes and the ability to manipulate time, or the undead spirit of his brother Paxton Fettel, a paranormal entity who possesses incredible psychic powers. Key Features * Blood Runs Deep, F.E.A.R. Runs Deeper: F.E.A.R. 3 delivers all the hallmarks that define the F.E.A.R. brand: terrifying paranormal experience, frenetic combat and a dramatic storyline. * Never Face Fear Alone: F.E.A.R. 3 evolves the brand, introducing Divergent Co-op: deep, social gameplay that gives players distinctly different abilities that affect their own play as well as the experience of gamers they are playing with... or against. * Frenetic Combat: Active 360 degree cover, evolutionary slow-mo modes, scoring systems and best in class mech- combat aid players in facing an army of soldiers and paranormal enemies. * Experience the Almaverse: The game world is tainted by the Almaverse, the alternate dimension where Alma’s psychic essence subsists. New sinister and fantastical enemy creatures birthed in Alma’s warped mind spill into reality and intensify the panic. * Generative System: Proprietary technology creates random events to increase the feeling of isolation and unpredictability when playing alone or with a friend, and offers new experiences each time gamers play through. * Masters of Horror: Legendary film director John Carpenter and writer Steve Niles provide their expertise and guidance to take F.E.A.R. 3 ’s intensity to the next level. Niles co-wrote the twisted storyline that reveals the motivations and family dynamics of the main characters, and Carpenter helped craft the cinematics for maximum storytelling and fright factor.***Nine months ago, Point Man and his F.E.A.R. squad were tapped to stop an unknown man who had commandeered a secret battalion of telepathically-controlled supersoldiers at the Armacham research facility in the Northwestern US city of Fairport. During the mission Point Man learned that the man wasn’t working alone. In fact, the very people Point Man was working to destroy were his telepathic, cannibalistic brother, Paxton Fettel, and his tortured and psychically powerful mother, Alma Wade—products of Armacham’s perverse paranormal experiments. Despite this revelation, Point Man moved forward with the standing F.E.A.R. team orders to stop the targets at any cost. In a last-ditch attempt to end the pair’s homicidal rampage, the F.E.A.R. team set in motion an explosive series of events that seemingly accomplished their goal but at the cost of ravaging the city, its inhabitants and almost all of Point Man’s squad mates. For months following the blast, events in Fairport have made it clear that Alma’s psychic influence survived—and worse, her paranormal power is growing and spilling into reality. Now her supernatural agony repeatedly rocks the city as she attempts to secure the survival of her bloodline and reunite her family. Armacham’s security force remains violently focused on eliminating all evidence of the events in the city, and the remaining F.E.A.R squad carries on the mission to stop Alma. With the chain of command broken and Point Man calling his own shots, where will his allegiance lie? With his brother Paxton Fettel, back from the dead, arriving with an unclear agenda and refusing to leave Point Man’s side? With his pregnant mother Alma and her horrifically twisted, yet immensely powerful paranormal existence? Or with his remaining F.E.A.R. squad brethren who are hell bent on saving the world, but at the cost of destroying the only blood ties Point Man has ever had? | labelimagesubject |

| Dead Island | Techland;Deep Silver (Techland) | 2011 | An open sandbox zombie survival game with crafting (talking about fresh ideas) that brings both brute gory fun and great atmosphere. Pros: -Simple crafting-upgrade system. -Stamina-reliant combat and movement. -IA (specially for beings that hunt down brains) -Drowning zombies. -Leveling up with RPG-like characters and trees (Borderlands anyone?) Cons: -No animals. -No use of extra weapons for repairing or carftfing. -No swimming. -Right seat wheel car. 6 of 10***Note that Dead Island does not strictly match Zombie Apocalypse genre as the zombie outbreak is limited to the island of Banoi with an excessive military quarantine making sure nothing goes in or out of there, thus the outbreak is sufficiently contained. However, none of the events in the game take place outside the containment area, giving it the overall appearance of zombie apocalypse without actually being it.***Terror. Violence. Madness. Bedlam. A holiday paradise gone mad. A tropical island turns into total chaos after a mysterious zombie outbreak. Cut off from the rest of the world, the player’s only chance to survive is to fight to the death and find a way to escape from the island. Dead Island combines first-person action with a heavy focus on melee combat, character development and customization of a vast array of weapons. All of these gameplay features are presented in a dark story inspired by classic zombie movies with a gritty and engrossing campaign that can be played with up to four players in co-op mode. Set in an open world tropical island, hordes of different festering zombies await players around every corner while they embark on a variety of thrilling missions through the holiday resort. With firearms and ammunition being scarce the player must rely on utilizing found items as weapons for self-defense and fight off zombie hordes in intense melee combat. A diverse range of items can be collected and will later serve to transform the player’s ordinary makeshift weapons into serious instruments of destruction. In addition to satisfying even the most bloodthirsty action fan’s fantasy, Dead Island also features role-playing elements which allow the player to develop one of the game’s unique character classes according to their preferences, all the while learning new skills and fresh tactics during their journey through the perilous environments of the island. What’s more, anytime during a game up to four players can seamlessly join together and experience the intense combat and immersive story with cooperative gameplay. With the all-new Chrome Engine 5 powering Dead Island, the game will use the latest installment of Techland’s acclaimed proprietary game engine, allowing the player to experience the tropical island paradise in graphical splendor with diverse environments like lush forests and detailed city environments. Key Features * First-person melee combat * 4-player coop * Weapon customization * Set on an gorgeous open world tropical island * RPG elements for character development * Hordes of gruesome zombies | labelimagesubject |

| XCOM: Enemy Unknown | 2K Games (Firaxis Games) | 2012 | Recordando a los juegos tipo Tactics de los 90 desde el primer minuto, pero con un lavado de cara. Especialmente encomiable el elemento de las decisiones incómodas (algo que desgraciadamente cada vez se ve menos) y la complejidad de los combates. Pena no tener tiempo para disfrutarlo más, tiene una pinta bárbara. Se acerca a la perfección del combate por turnos. 9 de 10***Overall a nice turn-based tactical game, but might not be really up to one's expectations if you go looking for another of the old XCOM games. In short, this new XCOM game is extremely simplified and cut down version of the old X-COM with great number of features missing with only a few new ones to its name. For those familiar with old XCOM, here's a list of differences. Notably there's missing multiple bases for the player to operate, aliens do not set up bases (there's only one alien base in the game), alien craft activity is barely existing (~13 alien craft encountered before the game was over), terror missions and similar do not involve actual enemy craft going to the sites, your soldiers can't pick up enemy gear during missions, grenades and rockets are special one-use gear instead of actual inventory items, inventory overall is severely simplified to a point where its limitations don't make sense, the game does not simulate projectile trajectories except for missed shots destroying scenery (missed shots can no longer hit secondary targets) and auto/burst fire is treated as single shot in terms of hitting or not, as such cover is simply statistical wonder instead of literal cover (shots "penetrate" the cover - with no damage to the cover - when they hit the soldier hiding behind it rather than hitting exposed bits), alien craft interception relies on one-use power ups you need to craft (though they go largely unused), aliens do not attack XCOM base(s), you can only have one skyranger hence you're specifically forbidden to complete missions that appear "simultaneously" with others (you have to choose one, the others automatically fail, their timing and duration essentially synced), interceptor and skyranger management is simplified, chrysalids and robotic aliens can not be captured and studied, aliens do not have jobs (there's only one live specimen of each species to interrogate and beyond that, nothing), battle scanner is missing, arbitrary range limitations to weapons (not allowed to shoot if target is beyond certain range), incendiary weapons are missing, stun grenades are missing, quite a few alien species are missing, levels tend to be far smaller and streamlined (with very few exceptions), action points have been replaced with simplified version that has glaring limitations, soldiers have 360 degree vision, reloading and shooting in same turn is impossible, ammunition is handwaved away completely, aliens do not have morale, taking aliens alive has little far less use, and probably quite a few other things. New features, for those that care: upgrade system accessible via the foundry, psychic damage ability, classes, class perks, two-point system, and probably some others. Personally I think this new XCOM is good game, but just does not hold up to what the old X-COM games were about. If you want the old experience, you're better off with the old games, UFO: Extraterrestrials, UFO: Aftermath/-shock/-light, or the many fan-made remakes. Note that I played the game through on "classic" difficulty (the one just below brutal), which may have had something to do with some of my poor opinions.***EAN-13: [code]5 026555 056151[/code] (European/Worldwide)***[media=youtube]u9i6X5fgaCE[/media] | labelimageminimize |

| Call of Juarez: Gunslinger | Ubisoft (Techland) | 2013 | Volviendo a sus orígenes en el Salvaje Oeste, este Call of Juarez vuelve con Silas y sus aventuras en forma de flashback (narrativamente funciona de maravilla, le da un toque pulp al juego), contando las aventuras de su juventud como pistolero. El sistema de progreso es sencillo (tres ramas de habilidades, un punto por nivel) y elementos como los QTE y la clásica concentración pegan de maravilla. Además los duelos añaden la pequeña variación del honor, que facilita pasárselos si no te importa la puntuación. Los mapas son más o menos lineales pero con posibilidades de variación de rutas y emboscadas, y la acción varía muy acertadamente entre situaciones horizontales/verticales y cerca/lejos, de una forma más frecuente e inesperada de lo normal en los FPS. Una pena que el plataformeo sea algo torpe, ya que los mapas tienen muy buen diseño para andar por los tejados o saltar por encima de las coberturas. 7 de 10 Como nota al margen, la experiencia obtenida destruyendo botellas/calabazas/gallinas es un gracioso guiño a los tiroteos del género fílmico "spaghetti western". | labelimageminimize |

Pirates rule the Caribbean and have established their own lawless Republic where corruption, greediness and cruelty are commonplace. Among these outlaws is a brash young captain named Edward Kenway. His fight for glory has earned him the respect of legends like Blackbeard, but also drawn him into the ancient war between Assassins and Templars, a war that may destroy everything the pirates have built. Welcome to the Golden Age of Piracy.***Probablemente el mejor juego de la saga, retomando elementos de todos los juegos y puliendo o eliminando los que no acababan de encajar, con un personaje genial, un argumento doble (fuero y dentro del Animus) impecables, y aportando muchísimos elementos de exploración y crafteo. 9 de 10 | labelimagesubject |
