New Games on The Great Games Experiment http://www.greatgamesexperiment.com/css/logo.jpg en-us The storyline involves the supercomputer, Gaurdian, taking the acquired data from the Vasteel, going rogue, and commanding Earth's space fleet to attack the Earth, which resulted in the near-extinction of the human race. In retaliation, the humans created ships to combat Gaurdian and Vasteel and they came up with the Gauntlet and the Vambrace. The gameplay is great, fast-paced, and incredibly difficult to master. You can pick up new weapons and switch them in and out on the fly as well as change the speed of your ship. There are also devices known as CRAW which increase your maximum firepower, shield you from some attacks, and allow you to use each weapon's super attack which drains energy from the CRAW, you can have up to three at a time. These techniques keep things interesting and allow various fighting styles. Unfortunately, this is the last entry in the series. There was going to be another game made for the Dreamcast, but Working Designs went under and never finished it. They did, however, finish the soundtrack and release it.

With TF 2, you'll go into battle as part of a cohesive squad of fellow warriors all bent on the same goal - whether it's storming a beach, demolishing a bridge or escorting a VIP to safety. And you'll do it knowing your teammates are watching your back as carefully as you're watching theirs. Begin by assuming one of twelve roles, each with unique strengths and weaknesses. If you're looking for a straight-up fight, you'll choose Marine or Commando. Prefer the shadows? You'll make a cunning Spy or Sniper. Medics and Engineers support their teammates through bravery and ingenuity. Focus the raw force of your team's talents through communication and strategizing.

Team Fortress 2 and Portal are included with all retail and Steam versions of Episode Two for the PC.
