The Nomad Soul  Eidos;Square Enix (Quantic Dream)1999cd"I have many things to tell you and very little time... I come from a universe parallel to yours. My world is desperately in need of your help. Only YOU can save us."

This heralds the beginning of an epic adventure through an increasingly strange and dazzling parallel world, trying to solve the many puzzles that prevent you escaping alive. Think, fight and interact with the immense gaming environment to defeat the menacing demons that have tried to trap you.
[Steam Store]***(Jugado hasta desbloquear al segundo protagonista)
Una mezcla de géneros entre la aventura gráfica, un juego de lucha y un shooter: además con un argumento de lo más curioso y psicodélico.

Pros:
-La música.
-Las opciones diversas para completar cada fase.
-El sistema de muerte y reencarnación.

Cons:
-El sistema de guardado limitado por si tienes o no anillos.
-El vehículo de transporte tiene un compartamiento torpe, y a veces toma rutas muy largas en modo automático.
-Aunque le dan variedad, ningún modo de juego está verdaderamente pulido.

Grand Theft Auto III  Take 2 Interactive (DMA Design)2002dStealing Cars Just Isn't Enough Any More - Respect Is Everything! Twenty minutes into the future, and the city's a changed place. It's darker. Dirtier. Meaner. The police are fighting back, and the army might just be lending a hand, Or a tank. And there's not just one Mr Big these days, friend, there's seven. If you want to get anywhere, you're going to need to get noticed. Get noticed and maybe you'll get somewhere. Maybe you'll get rich. Maybe you'll get dead. Grand Theft Auto is back! Set in an eerily familiar, yet futuristic, dark and vast metropolis, you play the role of a lone gunman who is out of cash, out of luck and definitely operates outside the law. Law and order is breaking down. The city has been carved up by ruthless gangs and crime syndicates leaving the police and government to fight an even tougher war to wash scum like you from the city streets. However, the city is yours for the taking if you have the guts and the brains. You start your quest with a car jacking a simple yet, effective crime otherwise known as Grand Theft Auto. Once you take your pick from the thousands of vehicles jamming the dirty city streets, you are on your way to becoming King of the City. There are two ways you can accomplish this feat - find a gang willing to employ your sorry butt or use your ruthless cunning to set the gangs at each other's throats with you wiping out the last few survivors.***You've been betrayed and left for dead. Now you're taking revenge, unless the city gets you first. Mob bosses need a favor, crooked cops need help, and street gangs want you dead. You'll have to rob, steal, and kill just to stay out of serious trouble. Anything can happen out here. Grand Theft Auto III features a fully 3-D living city, a combination of narrative-driven and nonlinear gameplay, and a completely open environment.Players are put at the heart of their very own gangster movie, in which anything can happen and probably will. With a cast of hundreds, 50-plus vehicles--including sports cars, ice-cream trucks, boats, and buses--three hours of music, (including opera, reggae, house, drum and bass, pop, and disco), a huge array of street-ready weapons, and some of the seediest characters in video game history, Grand Theft Auto III is a sprawling epic that will show you that sometimes crime can pay, and that sometimes it pays you back.***El boom de los GTA empezó con este juego por algo.

Aunque el Vice City es un juego más pulido que este, Liberty City ofrece uno de los mejores sandbox de la historia.

El iniciador de una época de sandbox.

Imprescindible.

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas  Take 2 Interactive;Rockstar Games (Rockstar North)2005dBastante más alocado que el resto de la franquicia, y con elementos interesantes robados a Maxis y a Ensemble Studios como hacerte un Super Size Me y talar madera.

Bonus: puedes ser un gangsta en una bicicleta robada mientras llevas chancletas.

Muy recomendable, muy buen juego, además de bastante cómico en comparación de otras entregas más "serias" de la saga.

Burnout Paradise  Electronic Arts (Criterion Games)2009dUn juego de carreras gamberro, que recuerda al Hot Pursuit o al Flatout.

Muy buen juego, especialmente en multijugador. La banda sonora también es uno de sus fuertes.

Prototype Activision (Radical Entertainment)2009dAnyone experiencing crashes that can't be traced down to anything real should try playing the game by limiting it to 1 CPU core, on systems with 4 or more cores some may have luck with limiting it to less than half of the cores.your.
... Personally this occurred as spurious crashes (in nvd3dum.dll which supposedly indicates bad GPU driver) until it finally became rather consistent when trying to protect the bloodtox tank.

The game is also one of the few games truly incompatible with 64 bit version of XP, so you're out of luck there (compatibility mode nor anything else will help you).***[spoiler=Show spoilers;Hide][b]Autopsy on fully clothed Alex[/b] : A Web of Intrigue video mentions that everything on Alex is actually part of his biomass, this also explains how he mimics people and their clothes repeatedly and discards them for his own form, and repeats this as often as he wants to. It also conveniently removes a nude scene and the source of his clothing during his escape.
[b]People running around on the streets while the infection spreads (not escaping)[/b] : the island is in quarantine, though the seemingly oblivious behaviour of the pedestrians few blocks away is not explained by this, nor why they don't hide indoors.

Just Cause 2 Square Enix (Avalanche Studios)2010dSandbox de acción a raudales, donde te dedicas a hacer el cafre por oficio y beneficio.
Es como si al Mercenaries 2 lo mezclaran con el Bionic Commando.

7 de 10***Developed by Avalanche Studios, Just Cause 2 finds Rico Rodriguez returning in an epic open-world adventure set in the diverse tropical playground of Panau in South East Asia, where the aim is to cause chaos and destruction in a way that only Rico knows how! His mission is to destabilize the island and free it from the tyranny of the evil dictator, Baby Panay. Players tackle missions and objectives in any way they want while exploring the highly-detailed and beautiful island by land, sea or air, performing an insane range of new daredevil stunts and mastering the use of the all new grappling hook and Rico's trademark parachute.

Saints Row: The Third  THQ (Volition)2011dUno 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.

Saints Row IV  Deep Silver (Volition)2013dSandbox en estado puro, similar al Saints Row The Third (incluso la ciudad es la misma), pero con muchas más misiones secundarias y con el añadido de ser más absurdamente divertido que nunca gracias a su elemento insigne: ahora "The Boss" tiene poderes.
Y los enemigos son lo suficientemente duros para que, a pesar de todas tus abilidades y arsenal, suponga un mínimo reto completar las misiones.

Hatred Destructive Creations2015aThis is modern take of the original Postal game in essence. You're a misanthropist who just wants to kill as many people as possible before taking his own life. The actual content isn't anything spectacular or not available as something to do on the side of other games that have received far less attention (you can do all this in GTAV for example, it's just not the goal).***[media=youtube]Pa8sQb9nb7w[/media]***[media=youtube]ytdEYapPXdY[/media]***Hatred is an isometric shooter with disturbing atmosphere of mass killing, where player takes the role of a cold blood antagonist, who is full of hatred for humanity. It's a horror, but here YOU are the villain. Wander the outskirts of New York State, seek for victims on seven free-roam levels. Fight against law enforcement and take a journey into the antagonist's hateful mind. Gather equipment of the dead ‘human shields’ to spread Armageddon upon society. Destroy everything on your way of hunt and fight back when it's disturbed...

...just don't try this at home and don't take it too seriously, it's just a game. :)

The question you may ask is: why do they do this? These days, when a lot of games are heading to be polite, colorful, politically correct and trying to be some kind of higher art, rather than just an entertainment – we wanted to create something against trends. Something different, something that could give the player a pure, gaming pleasure. Herecomes our game, which takes no prisoners and makes no excuses. We say ‘yes, it is a game about killing people’ and the only reason of the antagonist doing that sick stuff is his deep-rooted hatred. Player has to ask himself what can push any human being to mass-murder. We provoke this question using new Unreal Engine 4, pushing its physics (or rather PhysX) systems to the limits and trying to make the visuals as good as possible. It's not a simple task, because of the game's non-linear structure and a lot of characters on the screen. But here at Destructive Creations, we are an experienced team and we know how to handle the challenge!
