Lost Sector
Survive
Equip gear and venture out into an unsettling, destroyed research facility in the far future. Fight your way through the ever increasing difficulties of a changing environment, overrun by hostile creatures to clear the path through the sector.
Upgrade
Collect new modules and abilities, either by taking a risky route, advancing deeper into the facility and gathering rare items, or by taking a much slower, less rewarding, but safer approach. Upgrade your gear in the saveroom before venturing back outside and become powerful enough to defeat the final boss before the sector becomes too overwhelming.
Return
Lost Sector is a dangerous place which will lead to various deaths. Master the combat and learn more about how to overcome the hostile environment and the weak points of its mutated dangers. Unlock new weapons and items each run and slowly discover what happened.

STAR WARS™ Jedi Knight - Jedi Academy™
Probably one of the best Star Wars games out there, in between Republic Commando and Battlefront II of course. This was from a long forgotten era of games where the developers cared about what they were doing, and greed wasn’t as prominent as it is today.
Made by Raven Softworks, Jedi Academy is the 4th installment of the Jedi series of games, and the last in the series. At the time this game was considered more or less an expansion to Jedi Outcasts rather than its own game. Because of this the initial sales for the game on release weren’t amazing, and critics were pretty harsh on it, but like a lot of old movies and games it has managed to build up a cult following surrounding it years later.

you know, i have to say. i own this game and Jedi Outcast on cd, and have put 1000’s of hours into both of them. they are amongst my favorite starwars games, ever made. get them, and play them, and don’t forget to use dismemberment cheats in outcast, and a dismemberment mod for academy, (also rebind force pull to mouse wheel down, and force push to mouse wheel up.) What enabling dismemberment in these games does, is remove the hitbox during saber swings, and instead, have the samer constantly do near insta kill damage to anything it hits. therfore, you keep the animations from swings, but they become more diverse, allowing you to use the animations in unique ways to hit enemies all around you. it also affects enemy jedi the same way, making saber duels much like the movies, first one to get hit, loses something. add in a plethera of fun cheats, and the game never gets old. Never before have you felt like such a legitimate jedi. with all the powers available to you, there is so much that you can do, you’ll never want to stop playing. Imagine being able to ligning a room full of baddies into a corner, or backflip shop a guys head clean off, or force push a rocket back into someones face. well you can. but you can do more than that. Try force choking a tough enemy, jumping 3 stories into the air, and force pushing them upwards so high, that the fall kills them shortly after you land. Try slowing down time with force speed, and running around with a rocket launcher, firing one shot at everyone in a room, then speeding up time again to watch them all die at once. Try dueling an enemy jedi with dismemberment on. try turning off enemy targeting in the console, along with noclipping, and setting up unique encounters with enemies in levels you’ve allready played. you can even set up boss fights as you play through the game over, and over again. try spawining in a bunch of enemy sith in the next area, then going back where you were, and spawing in a ton of friendly jedi. then you adventure into the craziest battles you’ve ever seen, and i cant stress this enough, with dismemberment, these fights are thrilling and nuts. try accidently cutting off your allies head, or watching a sith do the same. try force choke, into backflip insta kill. try everything.

Dead Space
I’m not huge into survival horror with emphasis on ammo and health pack conservation. But I bought this ages ago on sale and finally pushed myself to go and complete it. Still not huge into the genre but I had fun and was pretty fun all the way through. Graphics still hold up ok too. I would obviously recommend to anyone who enjoys Resident Evil games.

Aged Like Fine Wine
Dead Space is now more than 13 years old, but don’t let its age and dated graphics fool you. Some may say that I’m too late to the party, but I dare say that this game was truly ahead of its time, and there isn’t anything like this nowadays. If you, like me, are new to the franchise or just looking for a good horror title, this review is for you - with no spoilers.
Curiosity in Storytelling
You play as the silent engineer, Isaac Clarke, on his mission to repair the mining spacecraft USG Ishimura. Throughout the campaign, you will find leftover data like text and video logs explaining a fraction of events before your arrival. The variety of information given to you is like a piece of fabric, so you can sew the story back together just enough to understand what had and is happening. From data research regarding the “creatures” you encounter, to the sheer panic and the slow downward spiral into insanity that the crew had experienced due to the influence of “the artifact”. While the game’s progress is linear, as you move from one section of the ship to another, everything still feels interconnected. There are some chapters where you return to the previous areas, the environment has been renewed, you can now enter previously-locked rooms, whereas some of the old segments are now blocked because of the advancement of the “creatures”.

Mars: War Logs
TLDR
Mars: War Logs is one of those gems that lurks behind “A” titles, just waiting to shine. Very much like Mad Max or WoW in playability, tactics, NPC aggro proc, and utility of various game strategies, the GUI will be familiar to anyone who has played a 3rd person and the particulars are not complicated; you can also change keybinds for fine-tuning. The detailed plot can go in at least three different major directions near the end, and choices determine results on several questlines, but the first two chapters will be very similar/same for any given playthrough. First playthrough on"normal" difficulty was challenging to learn but not difficult, and my second on “difficult” wasn’t too bad
! (except for the Moles in 2 particular encounters)… but “Extreme” has me stumped. There must be a build order that I haven’t identified correctly… yet.

Single-player action RPG with 3rd person view, in the sci-fi setting. Very story-driven, which means NO for the open-world experience. But there is none good tale as well. Just a decent action part in a narrow tunnel of somewhat “noir” agenda. In truth, the game isn’t all bad, it’s just plain and mediocre. But I’m freaked out by how it is presenting itself there on Steam: “An Intense Cyberpunk Rpg On the Red Planet!” While it is really telling about humans on the fourth planet, it is as far from cyberpunk, like me from being a wealthy man. And “Intense” means it is very short and linear. Not a good point to present for decent “story-rich” RPG, you agree?

Negative Atmosphere
Negative Atmosphere is a third person, over-the-shoulder survival horror game dedicated to dread, tension and trauma. Trapped aboard the voidship TRH Rusanov, Samuel Edwards must evade, fight and kill his former crew-mates as an outbreak transforms them into monsters. There’s only one way out and an entire ship to cross. Danger lurks around every corner and time is running out. Explore the depths of the Rusanov, pull whatever resources you can out of its guts, and run.
Treat the infection
As Chief Medical Officer of the Rusanov, Edwards has a confident, in-depth understanding of medicinal drugs. Routine medication can be repurposed for more creative ideas, or transformed into something more extreme. Whether attempting to save the injured, influence enemies or alter himself, Samuel’s medical knowledge will be key to his survival.
Every choice matters
Edwards has beliefs, past experiences and coping mechanisms that players will learn throughout Negative Atmosphere. This means that morality is not just about what you want as a player, as every decision will have an effect on Edwards. Learning his values is important: working with them or against them will affect Samuel’s mental state and change how he reacts to events.
Nowhere is safe
The Rusanov is infested with threats, from man and machine alike. Humans on board have mostly fallen victim to the outbreak, twisting their limbs and stretching their bodies into creatures that are near-unrecognisable. Robots are becoming unstable; some turn violent and roam the ship’s corridors, while others break down in a state of utter panic. Between the remains of the crew, the confused husks of metal and other terrors that skulk in every shadow, every engagement could be Samuel’s last.
Your survival is… unlikely.
Red Faction®: Armageddon™
Short game, but tons of fun. The weapons are some of the most unique I’ve ever come across, and are worth the purchase of the game. The game itself is narrow and linear, with awesome graphics (DX11) and decent voice-acting. Get it on sale and get ready for a fun 10 or so hours.
Installed size on hard drive (all DLC): 9 GB
You can view the opening of game here .
This time around, we are playing as Darius Mason, son of Jake Mason (from the film Red Faction: Origins), and grandson of Alec Mason (Red Faction: Guerrilla). The terraformer has been destroyed, driving all of Mars' human residents underground. But even deeper inside the Mars crust lies an alien threat. If that sounds Red Faction: Armageddon has ventured into B-movie / game territory, you’d be right. It’s a linear shooter, with some fantastic weapons (magnet gun! though the Napalm Laser is another favorite) and decent atmosphere and graphics. While I suppose much of Armageddon has been done before, it’s done well here. So well that I was disappointed when the game ended that there wasn’t more to it.

The Red Faction franchise got its start in 2001, with the original title seeing critical success on numerous levels; making it an instant, must-play classic. While 2002 saw the second game released, further development in the series was halted until 2009, when fan-favorite destruction sandbox Red Faction: Guerrilla saw the light of day. Although the Red Faction IP was sold to Nordic Games after the unfortunate demise of THQ, no information has surfaced regarding new entries into the series. Therefore, 2011’s Red Faction: Armageddon will have to do.

Rogue Trooper
Rogue Trooper.
A good video game adaption of a very great comic! Sure, it’s old. Sure, it’s got a few bugs. Sure, it’s got an awful multiplayer mode. But if you want a legitimate “Rogue Trooper” experience, this game is worth buying!
Characters
Rogue
An interesting character. He’s young and feels betrayed. He makes it his life mission to take down the man who exterminated his kind. Pretty straight-forward person, but his ironically-named buddies (biochips stored in his equipment) make playing singleplayer more of a variety. Voice actor was pretty good at playing the character.

A blast from the past. I remember playing it as a child and eventually I grew from it and decided to give it away to a friend. As time passed by, I began to feel regret and begin to miss it. Years pass by and one day, while checking through Steam, I found out Rogue Trooper was finally released onto Steam and I became elated. I bought it and relived my childhood.
Starting with the pros, It’s a very enjoyable and stylistic game with a lot of personality. The maps are unique, have personality, and at times beautiful. The gameplay is fun and flexible. The backstory of Nu Earth and it’s two factions: Norts and Southerns, is interesting and makes you want to learn more about their rivalry and the story about the GIs. As for the soundtrack, it’s decent and kind of catchy for me.

STAR WARS™ - The Force Unleashed™ Ultimate Sith Edition
Star wars the force unleashed is a fantastic game it is a solid pc game and the graphics for the most part still hold up along with it’s story in this review i will be going over the pros and cons of this game and whether you should get this game alright let’s get on with the review. ^w^
STORY: Star Wars the force unleashed has a very interesting story now i won’t spoil anything but i will say if this is your first time playing this game you will be on the edge of your seat trying to figure out what outcome will come at the end of the story. In the story every character has their own unique personalities that all feel like real people furthermore the dialogue between each character that talks doesn’t feel clunky which is a good thing as it makes the overall universe seem like a Star Wars movie and not a clunky awful mess with cheesy dialogue.

God Mode in Star Wars
Before Jedi: Fallen Order came out last year, this was one of the most recent single-player Star Wars games; it was made in 2008. Despite its age, it holds up quite well as an immersive force experience. It’s not without its issues–some of which are compounded by this advanced age–but it’s still as fun as I remember when I played the Wii version a decade ago.
Story: Uniquely Star Wars-esque
This game explores the period between the third and fourth Star Wars movies; the player is Darth Vader’s secret appearance, groomed by the fallen Jedi from birth. I won’t spoil the intricacies of the story, but it’s solid overall. In ways I can’t quite put into words, it has a very Star Wars-y feel to it.

Alien Breed 3: Descent
Long story short - 10/10, best game ever, this is how they did it back in the days, must have, old school…and why do this studio having this gem, creating other games, instead of a next part?!)
Long story:
Got first part for free on some giveaway long ago, and bought others with 90% discount.
Each part consists of 5 missions, if u play it slow, while checking all the map, u can complete each for 10 hours or so, I think, tops.
Bugs? There do u find them here?! And how?! The only four non-critical bugs I had, was in first and last part.

Team17, the developer best known for the creation of “Worms” and other such classics are the ones responsible for bringing us the subject of my next review, a lesser-known title but a particularly lustrous gem nonetheless.
The Alien Breed Trilogy is a series of third-person shooters. Like their more popular distant cousins the FPS, they too automatically come with an ‘action’ tag by association because that’s what we all (myself included) have come to expect from the genre. Though categorized as such, the three I’m going to talk about today could more accurately be described as atmospheric, survival games wearing Sci-Fi party hats.

MechRunner
Strangely addictive. Fun blast ‘em up.
– Real player with 15.3 hrs in game
Imagine taking a Transformers type game, and then transforming it into an on-rails-shooter! What you’d soon find yourself immersed inside of is the action-packed sci-fi game I’m about to review now, aptly called MechRunner, which was recently developed & published by Spark Plug Games this past year.
Its storyline is admittedly a rather interesting one, in that it based on partially factual events from the past. And it plays out like this: alien technology fell into Russian hands during the Tunguska incident in Siberia which had caused an unexplained massive explosion in the area. But in fact, it was actually a crashed alien spaceship that was found to be the real cause, and soon the Russian KGB were building highly advanced weaponry from this other-wordly technology discovered on subsequent expeditions there in the following years. However, it somehow caused those in charge to go completely mad as a result, and a conquest of Europe soon ensued. But one of the engineers went AWOL from the program and soon created his own super mech to battle head-to-head against theirs, in order to halt the unfolding chaos. Fantastic stuff, and it soon had me excited to give this game a try as I wanted to see how impressive this alien technology really was. Suffice to say, I was not at all disappointed!
