| Doom 3 | id Software | 2004 | Note! Activision worked only as distributor for Doom 3, not publisher.***Science has unlocked the gates to the unknown, and now only one man stands between Hell and Earth. A Sci-Fi horror masterpiece, Doom 3 is like nothing you've ever experienced. Dramatic storyline, pulse-pounding action, incredible graphics, and revolutionary technology combine to draw you into the most frightening and gripping first person gaming experience ever created.

EAN-13: [code]5030917024399[/code]***[b]missing images:[/b] interesting and clear main/cover image to replace the current low resolution one***Latest version: [url=ftp://ftp.idsoftware.com/idstuff/doom3/win32/]1.3.1[/url] (as of 2006-12-14)***You take up the role of nameless marine come to UAC Mars research base as a replacement to fill up the diminishing security forces on site. You're initially greeted by bleak residents of the Mars base and the uptight workforce of the place and are quickly pushed to your first assignment. And your arrival could not have been on worse time, as the conditions rapidly deteriorate from then on into an invasion by demonic forces and a darker plot brewing behind it. --- Personally I think the game is quite good, and the major criticism from others seems to have been about the extremely dark setting (lack of lighting), but how many horror games do you see in brightly lit environs that still manage to scare you? I doubt any. Creep you out by weirdness, perhaps, but not scare you. The only gripe I have about the game is that it relies all too much on scripted sequences to scare you, and the mob A.I. seems to be a bit too straightforward to give much challenge as it's quite easy to figure out and once that's done, most situations are ridiculously easy to handle, especially with the virtually infinite ammo you have (not that that's much a surprise as the place _is_ weapons research and manufacturing facility on top of everything else).***[b]Minimum:[/b] [*] Windows 2000 or XP [*] Pentium IV 1.5 GHz or Athlon XP 1500+ CPU [*] 384 MB RAM [*] 64 MB VRAM (Radeon 8500 or GeForce 3) [*] 8X CD-ROM drive [*] 2.2 GB free HD space [*] soundcard [*] mouse [*] keyboard***[spoiler=Show partial access code list;Hide code list][b]Syntax:[/b] [code]locked object : code [lock location] [code found from][/code] Listed in order of encountering the locked object Reception & Marine HQ Combat Prep : 584 [Marine HQ] [Bill Tyson's PDA near the location on second visit to Marine HQ] Locker #001 : 396 [Maintenance] [Kitchen, Adam's PDA] – automatically opened and emptied on return trip if not opened by player Locker #023 : 531 [Energy Stab.

| Prototype | Activision (Radical Entertainment) | 2009 | Anyone 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.

| Trine | Nobilis;Frozenbyte (Frozenbyte) | 2009 | Un juego de plataformas interesante y entretenido, basado en saer usar las virtudes de cada uno de los 3 personajes para completar la pantalla. La banda sonora (no puedo quitarme el tema principal de la cabeza), los escenarios y el narrador son increíbles. Muy divertido en multijugador, aunque sólo sea por ver lo que cuesta explicar donde es "ahí" en la frase "pon esa caja ahí" 8 de 10***Trine is a physics-based action game where three characters allow clever solutions to challenges created by hazardous puzzles and threatening enemies. The gameplay is based on fully interactive physics - each character's different abilities and tactics can be used to invent new ways to overcome obstacles and save the kingdom!***[b]new game+[/b] - unlocks Very Hard difficulty.

[b]drm-removed[/b] - with patch 1.06***Gameplay is reminiscent of Fury of the Furries (when played solo) and somewhat of Lost Vikings (when played by 2 or 3 people). Pontius works as the shield carrying dimwitted heavy hitter, Zoya as the grappling hook flinging archer, and Amadeus as some odd third-party who can create and levitate objects. Although playing solo the cooperative nature is lost as you're forced to use whichever character can maneuver through the obstacles alone (switching between them when necessary), while in coop you can pair up powers to reach places you can't alone or finding solutions to problems impossible with single character. The three are tied together by an object Amadeus thinks is called the [i]Trine[/i], which also explains why the three are working together (instead of going their separate ways as they seem to be eager to; the demo was a bit vague on how thoroughly tied they are).***For 1-3 players on single machine (online mode is planned but not promised).***2008-12-05 [url=http://frozenbyte.com/2008/12/05/trine-announced-for-psn-and-pc/]Announced[/url] by Frozenbyte. 2009-07-02 on Steam, by Frozenbyte (lang: eng, fin --- fre, ita, spa & ger added in a later [2009-07-29] patch) 2009-07-10 as boxed, by Nobilis (lang: eng, fin, fre, ger, ita, spa)***2008 teaser trailer [media=youtube]TXILzS03HCo[/media] | labelimagesubject |

| Spec Ops: The Line | 2K Games (Yager) | 2012 | Rara vez se ve un FPS de guerra que transmita la verdadera desolación de una zona marcial. Spec Ops: The Line lo logra de manera magistral gracias a la sensación de abandono y a lo humanos que expone a los enemigos, lejos del típico "yo bueno, tu malo" tan común en los shooter en general. Además, en terminos de juego no tiene nada que envidiar a sus compañeros de género, con un buen arsenal y la añadidura de la física de la arena y sus múltiples efectos (hasta corriendo se nota). incluye también elementos muy propios de los juegos de Tom Clancy en el aspecto de enviar órdenes, aunque de manera muy simplificada. El multijugador no es nada del otro mundo, el típico clase+perks+armas y los clásicos modos deathmatch/por equipos/etc... 8 de 10***Spec Ops: The Line is a new original title from 2K Games that features provocative and gripping Third-Person modern military Shooter gameplay designed to challenge players' morality by putting them in the middle of unspeakable situations where unimaginable choices affecting human life must be made. Features include, a gripping, storyline reminiscent of Apocalypse Now and Heart of Darkness but set in a ruined Dubai, tactical squad-based Delta Force gameplay throughout a horizontally and vertically oriented world, devastating sandstorms which can be used in combat, a variety of multiplayer modes and maps, and deep support featuring two factions. It’s been 6 months since Dubai was wiped off the map by a cataclysmic sandstorm. Thousands of lives were lost, including those of American soldiers sent to evacuate the city. Today, the city lies buried under sand, the world’s most opulent ruin. Now, a mysterious radio signal is picked-up from Dubai, and a Delta Recon Team is sent to infiltrate the city. Their mission is simple: Locate survivors and radio for Evac. What they find is a city in the grip of war. To save Dubai, they’ll have to find the man at the heart of its madness—Col. John Konrad. [b]Gameplay[/b] Spec Ops: The Line is an action-packed Third-Person Shooter that delivers heart pounding physically close combat through a squad-based play mechanic. Players lead a team of three characters, Captain Martin Walker, Lieutenant Adams and Sergeant Lugo. Each character has his own distinct personality and specialized skills, and the mature story they each play a role in explores the dark side of war in a realistic way, in which there are no good outcomes, only hard choices. As missions are completed more advanced weapons and equipment are made available. In addition, the desert environment of Dubai is brought into the game in a unique way with stunning visuals, and dynamic sandstorms that actively effect level designs, and which can be used to help and hinder progress. The vertical interiors of Dubai high rise buildings also provide tactical advantages and risks that can used be by players. Multiplayer campaigns bring new modes and unusual situations and environments to expand the single player experience. Key Features * A new portrayal of the military shooter experience with twisting narrative uncertainties. * Action packed 3rd Person Shooter gameplay provides an up-close and personal view into the brutality and emotion within the combat. * Command an intelligent and powerful squad of Delta-Force soldiers in a dangerous and unpredictable combat zone. * Cross "The Line" in a mature story that explores the dark side of war, where there are no bright outcomes, only bad or worse choices. * Unique Dubai setting strikes the imagination and transports players to a larger-than-life playground for vertical gameplay and stunning visuals. * Sand-filled Dubai provides new gameplay experiences including sand avalanches, and powerful, disorienting sandstorm combat. * Customisable, Class-Based, Blazing Multiplayer | labelimagesubject |
