Rune	Take 2 Interactive;Gathering of Developers (Human Head Studios)	2000	Experience an exciting single player storyline where you thwart Loki and his minions from bringing Ragnarok to Midgard. [Steam Store]*Juegazo de acción clásica, donde encarnas a un vikingo capaz de llevar 4 armas y un escudo mientras se sana de heridas de batalla comiendo lagartos. Recuerda mucho al Heretic II. 8 de 10Re-released together with the expansion as [i]Rune Classic[/i] in 2012-06-13 with added Steam achievements.Product ID: [code]1-892817-25-X[/code] UPC-A: [code]6 63493 11012 1[/code] EAN-13: [code]0 663593 110121[/code]You play as Ragnar, just recently reached the status of Odinsblade in your village that protects one of Odin's Runestones. The game starts with very crude "tutorial" obviously meant for people already familiar with games (of this type), only telling you details on things that were different from other games of the time. [spoiler=Early spoilers;Hide spoilers]After talking and running around a bit, you get into a mockup fight with the "strongest" of the village. Who, although can take a beating, uses ridiculously simple combat tactics that are easily beaten. After beating him up, the village gets attacked by some stupidhead viking thinking serving Loki is actually good idea and sens Ragnar and his fellow vikings to the bottom of the sea, killing everyone, you included.[/spoiler] [spoiler=Real beginning;Hide spoiler]While slowly descending towards the bottom of the sea, quite dead as you are, you hear the voice of Odin, who demands you to awaken, explaining its not your time yet. And so you are miraculously (although not very dramatically) resurrected, at full health and ready to beat some ass. But where are you? In some natural caves filled with bloodthirsty critters, and you're supposed to beat through them before you can go about stomping the renegade Loki worshipping vikings who so deserve a grand beating by your Odin-granted powers of vengeance. Meaning, the game instantly devolves to simple hack-and-slash adventure for a loooooong time from the start with some rare bits of plot thrown in for measure so common of the games at that time.[/spoiler] On non-spoiler frontier, you almost always have 3 weapons (sword, mace and axe) and a shield. Each weapon offers one magical power you can use after charging up your magical batteries by beating up people, and these change with newer weapons. You can even throw them at your enemies if you feel so inclined and this is actually good idea when a lot of weapons of that type are lying around or you just want to get rid of your old crappier one. Shields can be broken, both your's and your enemies' (it was either axe or mace that excelled in this, I forgot), but despite this small potential setback, shields are important part of survival. The game was quite fun back in the days, but like with many 3D games, it's hard to appreciate it after the technology behind it has gone so far from those primitive times.**Includes a [i]very[/i] basic hack&slash P&P RPG in PDF format on the CD.

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
Legend of Grimrock	Almost Human Games	2012	Simplemente la mejor conversión al videojuego del misterio, emoción y claustrofobia mental que transmite un juego de rol de exploración de mazmorras. Además de destaca por su único sistema de juego, que mezcla un manejo casi de aventura gráfica con un combate a semitiempo real y una creación de personajes muy RPG y variada. Y especialmente notable por su efecto "sólo una escalera/puerta más", haciendo volar el tiempo con facilidad. Eso sí, lo del modo Old School ya es para nostálgicos masocas XD 9 de 10.**What is Legend of Grimrock? Old-school dungeon crawling game inspired by Dungeon Master, Eye of the Beholder and Ultima Underworld. * Explore a vast dungeon riddled with hidden switches, pressure plates, sliding walls, trapdoors and more. * Discover secrets, cast spells with runes and craft potions with herbs. * Fight murderous monsters and seek lost artifacts in ancient tombs. * Create a party of four characters and customize them with different races, classes, skills and traits. Legend of Grimrock is a dungeon crawling role playing game with an oldschool heart but a modern execution. A group of prisoners are sentenced to certain death by exiling them to the secluded Mount Grimrock for vile crimes they may or may not have committed. Unbeknownst to their captivators, the mountain is riddled with ancient tunnels, dungeons and tombs built by crumbled civilizations long perished now. If they ever wish to see daylight again and reclaim their freedom the ragtag group of prisoners must form a team and descend through the mountain, level by level. The game brings back the oldschool challenge with highly tactical real-time combat and grid-based movement, devious hidden switches and secrets as well as deadly traps and horrible monsters. Legend of Grimrock puts an emphasis on puzzles and exploration and the wits and perception of the player are more important tools than even the sharpest of swords could be. And if you are a hardened dungeon crawling veteran and you crave an extra challenge, you can arm yourself with a stack of grid paper and turn on the Oldschool Mode which disables the luxury of the automap! Are you ready to venture forth and unravel the mysteries of Mount Grimrock?
