]]> 01 Dec 2006 10:15:17 Grand Theft Auto III Grand Theft Auto III (GTA III) is an action computer and video game developed by DMA Design (now Rockstar North), published by Rockstar Games in October 2001 (see 2001 in video gaming) for the PlayStation 2 video game console, May 2002 for Windows-based personal computers (PCs), and in November 2003 for the Xbox video game console. A part of the Grand Theft Auto (GTA) series, it is preceded by Grand Theft Auto 2 (GTA2) and succeeded by Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (Vice City). GTA III is also the first in the series to be released on the PlayStation 2.

The game centers on a nameless criminal who was betrayed by his girlfriend in a bank heist, and is required to work his way up the crime ladder of the city, before confronting her and eventually taking his revenge. Like its predecessors, GTA III implements sandbox-like gameplay, where the player is given the freedom to perform various activities in a large city, such as completing missions, exploring the city, committing criminal acts, or completing side missions.

The game concept and gameplay, coupled with the use of a three dimensional game engine for the first time in the series contributed to GTA III's positive reception upon its release and became 2001's top selling video game. GTA III's success was a significant factor in the series' subsequent popularity; as of 2006, five GTA prequels set before events in GTA III have been released. GTA III's violent and sexual contents have also been the source of moral panic and controversy.

Grand Theft Auto III takes place in Liberty City, a fictional city on the East Coast (based on New York City and eastern New Jersey). The timeline of the game was intended to be set at the present time around the first release of GTA III, October 22, 2001; this was indicated by the Liberty Tree website, which included plot points that connect to events in the beginning of the game, in its last existing monthly entry, dated October 18, 2001.[7]

Throughout the story, the protagonist and player character is never named (though he is referred to by several in game characters as "Fido" or "The Kid"). The player character is also a silent protagonist, never uttering a single word.

]]> 07 Dec 2006 08:34:21 Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Vice City is a loose prequel to the preceding game in the series, GTA III, which took place in the present day at the time of its 2001 release. The game is set in fictional Vice City, which is based on Miami, Florida. The game's look, particularly the clothing and vehicles, reflect (and sometimes gently parody) its 1986 setting (with the packaging and artwork in particular owing a great debt to 1980s artist Patrick Nagel). In contrast to the gritty urbanism of Grand Theft Auto III's Liberty City, Vice City appears (mostly) clean and upscale, with golden beaches, waving palm trees, and vivid purple sunsets.

The player takes the role of Tommy Vercetti, who has recently been released from prison in Liberty City. While attempting to re-establish himself within the Forelli Mafia family, boss Sonny Forelli sends Tommy to Vice City to supervise an important drug deal. At the exchange, masked gunmen kill three of the people involved in the trade (two Forelli henchmen and Victor Vance, Lance Vance's brother), stealing both the drugs and the money Tommy was charged with protecting. Vercetti narrowly escapes and informs Sonny, who demands that Tommy get back both the "product" and the money. Both Sonny and Tommy wish to kill those responsible for the theft.

Much of the action in Vice City concerns Vercetti's burgeoning criminal empire, spanning drug trafficking, contract killings, counterfeiting, and protection. The player progresses through the game narrative by performing a series of missions, most of which involve criminal activities. This takes Vercetti from being a small-time hood staying in a beachfront hotel to being the city's crime kingpin, but Sonny is looming over Tommy until he finally comes down to get his stuff personally. And in a shootout similar to that of the ending of the Brian De Palma film Scarface, Tommy Vercetti kills Sonny Forelli and his traitorous partner Lance Vance.
]]> 07 Dec 2006 09:15:20 Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (GTA:SA) is an action-adventure game developed by Rockstar North. It is the third 3D game in the Grand Theft Auto video game franchise and fifth original game overall. Originally released for the PlayStation 2 in October 2004, the game has since been ported to the Xbox and Microsoft Windows, and has received wide acclaim and high sales figures on all three platforms.

Set in 1992, the game revolves around the main character, Carl "CJ" Johnson returning home to Los Santos after learning of his mother's murder. CJ finds his family and his old gang, the Grove Street Families, in disarray. Over the course of the game, CJ gradually unravels the plot behind his mother's murder while working to reestablish his gang and exploring his own business ventures.

Much like the previous entries in the Grand Theft Auto series, San Andreas's critical and commercial success has not been without controversy; hidden content in the game resulted in the game's re-rating and subsequent removal from many retailers' shelves.

San Andreas is structured similarly to the previous two games in the series. The core gameplay consists of elements of a third-person shooter and a driving game, affording the player a large, open environment to move around in. On foot, the player's character is capable of walking, running, swimming, climbing and jumping, as well as utilizing weapons and basic hand to hand combat. Players can steal and drive a variety of vehicles, including automobiles, boats, airplanes, helicopters, trains, and motorcycles.

The open, non-linear environment allows players to explore and choose how they wish to play the game. Although storyline missions are necessary to progress through the game and unlock certain cities and content, they are not required, as players can complete them at their own leisure. When not taking on a storyline mission, players can free-roam and create havoc (e.g. drive-by shootings, robberies, etc). However, doing so can attract unwanted and potentially fatal attention from the authorities. The more chaos caused, the stronger the response: police will handle minor infractions, whereas SWAT teams, the FBI, and the military respond to higher wanted levels.

The player can also partake in a variety of optional side missions. The traditional side missions of the past games are included, such as dropping off taxi cab passengers, putting out fires, driving injured people to the hospital, and fighting crime as a vigilante. New additions include truck and train driving missions requiring players to make deliveries on time, and driving/flying/boating/biking schools, which help players learn skills and techniques to use in their corresponding vehicles.

Prepare For Your Finest Hour

Fire period weapons and command authentic war vehicles as you silence the gun batteries at Port Arzew, survive the Omaha Beach landing, and more.

From the contributor:

Medal of Honor Allied Assault was the first in a series of games under this franchise. At the time, it's style and feel were unique and in many ways ground breaking with many similar games coming after it. This is not to say that it was the first or run-away best, but one of the most common compliments seems to be that it was the first to really capture the "right feel". The weapons look, sound and play incredibly true to their real world counterparts and the settings for the missions are beautiful. If you are a fan of the genre, this is a must play.

]]> 29 Jan 2007 01:36:51 Giants: Citizen Kabuto Everything about this game is strange.

Your character choices are: a jetpack-loving British-ish alien, a semi-mermaid sorceress/archer, or an incredibly huge roaring monster that eats everything. All of them are a lot of fun and you play as each during the game's campaign.

Gameplay is usually third-person shooting, but there's also resource collection, base-building, and even some vehicle races.

The most unusual thing about Giants is that it tries to be funny - and is funny! Don't skip the cut-scenes on this one.

Multiplayer supports large games with different modes. The most common is base vs base where each team tries to collect the most resources (brainy smarties) and destroy the enemy teams's base before it can be rebuilt. Resources are spent on buildings for weapon upgrades, base defense, and vehicle production. One player can be the giant Kabuto who's almost impossible to take down.
]]> 07 Feb 2007 01:46:03 Command and Conquer Renegade It's an RTS, but nobody has an overhead view. Everyone is a soldier. Online Multiplayer is the core fun of this game and it does that well.

GDI fights NOD and both teams start with a complete base. The base has buildings for vehicles, power, resource collection, character upgrades, and defense. The objective is to destroy the other team's base.

Players go about it by killing enemies, destroying the other team's (automated) resource collector, or by healing allies. Whenever a player does any of these things they earn money for themselves and that's what makes Renegade so interesting. There's nobody managing the team or overseeing everything from above. It all works because players are rewarded for being effective. Player income is used at the base for upgraded weapons or vehicles.
]]> 07 Feb 2007 03:13:47 Aliens vs Predator Aliens versus Predator is a science fiction first-person computer game developed by Rebellion and published by Sierra. It was officially released for PC and Mac in 1999, followed by an unofficial port to Linux in 2001, following Rebellion's public release of the game's source code. A sequel to Aliens vs Predator, Aliens vs. Predator 2, was developed by Monolith Productions, and released by Sierra in 2001. It is often considered the successor of the 1994 game for the Atari Jaguar.

The game is a first person shooter (FPS), but differs from most other FPS in that the player can choose the perspective to play from : Alien, Predator or Human (Colonial Marine). These different perspectives afford distinct capabilities and weapons.

In the most conventional case, playing as a human is the most similar to other FPS, and the player is able to access a wide array of weaponry (mostly that from the films). As well as powerful weaponry, Marines wear armour for protection and have an image intensifier and flares to improve visibility in dark environments.

As a Predator, the player make use of Predator weapons such as the Plasmacaster, Disc and Wristblades. Predators are also somewhat more athletic than humans, can make use of a cloaking device to stalk prey, and have a range of different vision modes to aid them in hunting the other species. In the game, default Predator vision is similar to that of humans, but an infrared vision mode is available for tracking humans (similar to that in the Predator films), while a vision mode sensitive to electrical systems allows Predators to track Aliens (and androids).

Playing as an Alien is the most significantly different perspective. Players are able to range freely over any surface regardless of its inclination. This allows wall-walking and completely novel means of attack. However, weaponry is restricted to claws, tail and jaws (for the infamous head-bite), though these themselves reward the player with a fairly unusual experience in FPS combat. By default, Aliens visually perceive the environment in a similar manner to humans, albeit distorted by a fisheye lens to increase field of view. Players can also switch to a "sonic resonance" or echolocation mode to increase visibility in dark environments (as explained in Aliens Vs. Predator 2). This is augmented by an ability to detect pheromones and to discern human or Predator prey.

In the single player mode, the game presents a conventional series of levels to progress through. However, because of the differing abilities of the three species, the levels themselves are not always conventional in structure - Alien levels, for instance, often involve climbing through convoluted buildings. The levels are loosely structured, with progression sometimes a little arbitrary (e.g. Predator players find themselves, for a single level only, on the prison planet Fury 161 from the film Alien³).
