The synopsis really is "It", but its quite a good sell. I've been looking to play this game (preferably in a legal sense) for over a decade now. Made by the Carnivore devs, based on Dr Moreau, crazy action, cheesy plot, right timeline of fun jank FPS games on PC. Yet it seems to have questionably no physical circulation in the US, and is definitely not "for sale" on the digital space. I haven't played it myself, but its been an off/on online obsession to check back on it, skim playthroughs, and critiques on it. So technically I have no memories of myself playing the game, but so badly want it available so I can have a story within it.
This is the game that the ukrainian dev Action Forms made before Cryostasis. It is quite different though. Not nearly as slow or as story-focussed.
First impressions can be quite bad as the outdoors environments are frankly ugly and while the story has an occasional good moment to offer, the beginning lacks a hook.
I do not want to spoil, but in terms of how the combat works, enemy types to fight and environments the player will visit, there was a satisfying progression here that surprised me.
This one is a good game hiding behind weak first impressions and mediocre gameplay, but there really is a lot to appreciate here.
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon 2Set in the near future, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon 2 puts the player in the shoes of a highly trained operative who works as a part of the infamous military unit from the U.S. Special Forces only known as "Ghosts".
The game is set in North Korea, where an evil general is diverting all the humanitarian aid to boost his forces and gain more political power in the process and it's up to Ghosts to eliminate this threat.
There is a single player campaign mode, where the player as part of the Ghosts, must take on the evil general in 11 different and quite long missions. There is also a multiplayer modes in both on and offline. The main campaign can be played through with a friend, or you can fight other players in multiple game modes spanning from a simple deathmatch to team based modes.
New to this part of the series is the possibility to use a third person viewpoint, but the classic "From the eyes"-view is also available.Warfare Stealth

FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival.
Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed.
The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo.
As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity.
Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.Our Pick Top Trending Science fiction Sandbox
