]]> 21 May 2007 03:43:16 Battlefield 2: Special Forces is an official expansion pack for the computer game Battlefield 2. It includes six new armies (compared to just three in Battlefield 2): U.S. Navy SEALs, British SAS, Russian Spetsnaz and MEC Special Forces, a Russian Rebel group and a Middle-Eastern Insurgent faction.

]]> 21 May 2007 03:28:08 Private Military Corporations (PMCs) have become big business, as small governments and large multi-national corporations have increasingly come to rely on the flexibility, value and discretion that PMCs provide in their security schemes.

In 2006, the Darkrock Corp. announced its intention to provide the full spectrum of security needs to anyone with pockets deep enough to engage their services. Two years later, Lubriconn International retained the services of Darkrock to secure the release of oil crews held hostage by the Venezuelan government, beginning a series of events that led to the overthrow of the democratically elected government of Venezuela by the Darkrock Corporation; leaving the country in the stewardship of the oil conglomerate Lubriconn.

As Lubriconn’s grip on the global oil market tightens, EurOil, the second largest oil company in the world, retains the services of Force Objective International, Darkrock’s principal competitor in the PMC business, to regain control of those oil production facilities and other energy producing assets that Darkrock had seized at the behest of Lubriconn. Now, these two corporations, staffed with the cream of the Specwar crop (Navy SEALs, US Army Recon Rangers, SAS, GIGN, SPEZNAZ), square off in squad combat around the world, the ultimate mercenaries. Where governments can’t or won’t get involved, when lobbying fails, the PMCs will answer the call… if the price is right.

]]> 15 May 2007 06:02:50 One planet amidst a sea of lifeless stars holds the promise of life, faith, and a new beginning for two different alien races, each coveting it for their own. The biomechanical Ohm were once a peaceful race, but perpetuated their own demise through their obsession with machines - a fascination that led to an evolutionary shift leaving their species physically weak and infertile.

The relatively young race of Humans has sent out a Coalition searching for ideal environments in which to continue to propagate their species. They happen to stumble upon the idyllic Kaladi system unaware that the peaceful and perfect planet is about to be the center of a fierce war.

The planet Kaladi, a veritable utopia rich in resources and beauty, one of the galaxies most coveted, guarded and hidden treasures… Until now.

]]> 29 Apr 2007 03:54:27 Turok: Rage Wars is a multiplayer centric first-person shooter released for the Nintendo 64. The game features a large number of weapons, a large number of playable characters, with alternate skins, and a large number of arenas to play in. Besides several multiplayer modes, the game offers a single-player game which consists of several bouts linked together versus bots.

The game is set apart by other arena based first-person shooters by focusing on tactical-based combat with four players in small levels. The game is also unique in the way that you choose your weapons before the match, all you need is to collect ammo in order to use your chosen weapons. You are allowed two bullet weapons, two energy weapons, and one explosive weapon. The player is also given a warhammer that does not consume ammunition.

All of the games playable characters are humanoid except for two, the raptor, and the mites. The raptor and mites do not use weapons, instead they use their claws for melee attacks. The mites also have a poison spitting ability.

The game has a few picksup available for the player, deployable auto-turrets, mines, the Cerebral Bore, and bear traps. A powercore can also be picked up at a designated location which gives the player one of many randomly picked abilities, invulnerability, slow-time, life leech, weapon resistances, regeneration, and teleport, among others.

Rage Wars has 50 medals that are earned through playing multiplayer matches, except for 4 of them awarded for defeating bosses in single player. Medals exist for killing sprees, large numbers of kills, deaths, suicides, strict usage of certain weapons, and so forth.

Unique weapons in the game include the Boomerang, the Emaciator and Inflator, the Chest Burster, which has the ability to spawn an alien from a player's chest causing instant death, the Flare Gun, and the Napalm Gel launcher. All weapons in Turok: Rages Wars have primary and secondary functions.

]]> 13 Mar 2007 12:10:26 SWAT 3: Close Quarters Battle (also known as SWAT3 or SWAT3:CQB) is a tactical squad-based first-person shooter, developed by Sierra Northwest and published by parent Sierra Entertainment for the PC on November 23, 1999. SWAT3 remains the biggest selling title of the SWAT series,[citation needed] and is the only member of the SWAT series to come close to the popularity of the earlier titles of the Police Quest series, from which it originated.

As the first first-person shooter of the Police Quest/SWAT games, SWAT3 received a new game engine with cell and portal technologies for simulation of environments, and advanced AI and ballistics. The developers spent some time with LAPD SWAT, studying tactics in order to create an accurate, realistic simulation. Most of the animations in the game were motion captured, acted out by a SWAT officer.

The player assumes the role of a Los Angeles Police Department SWAT element leader, in command of a five-man element. Over a number of missions, the player has to defend the city from violent criminals, terrorists and the threat of a nuclear weapon, and prevent disruption of an important treaty signing. The game also features multiplayer including traditional Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch modes in addition to Paintball mode and Cooperative play through the single player missions.

SWAT 3 was succeeded by SWAT 4 in April 2005, development and publishing being transferred to Irrational Games and Sierra owner Vivendi Universal.

]]> 12 Mar 2007 02:52:07 Battlefield Vietnam follows the same objectives as Battlefield 1942, involving the capture of key locations on large maps, with the dominating force draining a set number of points from the opposition; the winner being the team that forces the other to drop to zero. Players can join teams representing the United States, ARVN, Viet Cong and NVA, depending on the map.

The game gives the player a variety of weapons, spanning the M16 and AK47 to punji sticks and land mines that were used as booby-traps, as well as access to a large range of vehicles including tanks, jeeps and aircraft. It also has several additions to it, such as air-lifting vehicles and playing the radio in any vehicle from a wide selection of 1960s music. Another notable enhancement is the ability to fire from the passenger sides of vehicles this time around, rather than having to sit and watch. Also, helicopters hover by themselves (assuming there is a person in the pilot seat, and the helicopter is balanced) without requiring constant tapping of the keyboard, and the engineer class is sometimes equipped with a blowtorch that allows for sabotage or eliminating a threat, such as a tank.

The game features a variety of famous military vehicles from the war, that are drivable by players. These include tanks such as the M60 Patton, the AH-1 Cobra and possibly the most famous jet fighter of all time, the F-4 Phantom II. However, Vietcong players also get access to a wide range of vehicles, such as the Mig-21 jet fighter, T-54 tank and even a scooter.

It is primarily an online multi-player game, although it is possible to play single-player, but as pointed out in a number of game reviews there were some key issues that caused problems. In the first release the gameplay was marred by technical flaws and balance issues, though this was partially addressed in the first patch; in particular, the infamous American anti-armour kit that had featured both the M60 and LAW was removed after frequent complaints about its excessive strength compared to any other kit.

There are numerous modifications (called mods) to Battlefield Vietnam in development. Many Battlefield 1942 mods changed over to BFV as well as many new ones were announced. Many of the existing, released BF1942 mods may at some point create a BFV version as well. How many modifications will actually be released is unknown, especially with the release of Battlefield 2.

There are several mods available for Battlefield Vietnam, such as the "Eve of Destruction" mod, which uses better quality models for vehicles and weapons, as well as introducing new ones and new maps. Other popular mods for Battlefield Vietnam are "Operation Peacekeeper", and "Point of Existence" also known as PoE. PoE takes place in 2007, with a hypothetical war between the United States and Russia over oilfields in Africa.

]]> 12 Mar 2007 01:51:46 Battlefield 1942 combines high polygonal and high texture resolution 3D computer graphics with extensive gameplay. Players are able to fly World War Two era fighter aircraft and bombers, navigate capital ships and aircraft carriers, man coastal defenses, drive tanks and jeeps, control stationary weapons on the battlefield or aboard vehicles or just fight as one of five classes of infantry. Some argued that Battlefield 1942 had one of the most realistic physics and game engines available in FPSs on the market when it came out in 2002; others however, find this debatable because of certain details. For example, tanks tended to lob their projectiles (which should have had a very flat trajectory) and target leading was arguably due to game and network lag rather than programmed physics.

Each battle takes place on one of several maps located in a variety of places and famous battlefields in all of the major theaters of World War II: the Pacific, European, North African and Eastern Fronts. While the combat is always Axis Powers versus Allies, the location determines which specific armies are used (for example, on the Iwo Jima map, it is Japan versus the United States, while on the Battle of Britain map, it is Germany versus the United Kingdom). The maps in Battlefield 1942 are based on real battles, but are not necessarily realistically portrayed; an example of this is the presence of American forces on the Operation Market Garden map, even though, in reality, the Americans had no participation in the battle at Arnhem where this particular map takes place.

]]> 12 Mar 2007 01:40:14 SWAT 4 features a single-player campaign where the player has to take his SWAT team through a number of missions. The missions are not related and there is no overarching storyline. The game aims to have gameplay similar to the real SWAT team experience, for example, it encourages the use of non-lethal weapons to subdue and arrest the suspects rather than shooting them dead. On the higher difficulty levels, it is impossible to progress to the next mission if the current one is not done well, such as suspects getting killed instead of arrested or other team members getting shot.

The player is the leader in a five-man SWAT team, which consists of him and four other men that can be split into two teams of two (called red and blue). The player does not assume direct control over the other officers, however, he can issue them orders such as guard an opening, entering and clearing a room (while at the same time using assorted grenades), handcuff suspects, and so on.

All missions start with a pre-mission briefing which describes the situation and gives whatever details are available on the subjects and/or hostage(s) or other civilians. The briefing also identifies mission goals, which typically are to secure (arrest or kill) all suspects and rescue the hostages or other civilians. Mission objectives are not limited to these, however. After the briefing, the player can choose equipment for himself and the other four officers, for some missions choose an entry point, and then the mission starts.

Usually the player then tries to resolve the situation in such a way as to arrest all the suspects, rescue all the civilians, and secure all the weapons - if that is done and no one is injured in the process, the mission is completed with a perfect score. The missions have very different suspects. Some are poorly armed and unarmored, and these are easy to arrest with the use of no or only non-lethal weaponry. Suspects in the later missions, however, include ones with fully automatic weapons such as AK-47s. Suspects may also be better protected by things such as gasmasks and full body armor. If it is not possible to arrest a suspect, then the team is forced to kill or "neutralize" the suspect.

SWAT 4 also has the concept of authorized and unauthorized use of weapons. Most situations require the officers to give the suspect a warning and ask him to surrender. Shooting without warning is considered unauthorized use of force or deadly force (depending on whether you injure the suspect or kill him) and has a significant point penalty for the mission. Shooting without warning is allowed if the suspect is pointing his weapon at a hostage or a SWAT team member or if he opens fire first. Suspect reactions to warnings differ - some may attempt to hide and set up and ambush, some immediately surrender, others will flee and some will open fire. If a hostage is killed, it results in immediate mission failure.

]]> 07 Mar 2007 01:34:12 Released August 15th 2005, 2 years later then orginal forecast, Geist serves as a reminder of how important inovation is but at the same time how important it is to balance inovation with entertainment.

You play as John Raimi a biochemist who after being captured during a high risk mission with friend Thomas Bryson has your spirit ejected forcefully from your body. Gaining the ability to possess objects and people you attempt to put a stop to demons taking control of the world and get your body back with help from a fellow ghost Gigi Volks.

Possession is the order of the day and results in a unique if occasionally flawed FPS experience (much like Messiah but far less of a dissapointment). Possession is fun as are the puzzles but there's just rarely enough action (or too much) or freedom of movement.

The game also has a multiplayer mode for up to 4 players (and support for up to 7 bots). Possession is present in multiplayer and makes some exciting changes to a somewhat stale genre.

]]> 07 Mar 2007 07:27:58 Forsaken is a first person shooter based on the Descent series of games. It was released for Windows on in April 30th, 1998. Forsaken was later released on PlayStation on May 13th, and Nintendo 64 on May 27th of the same year. Television commercials for the game featured the repeated phrase "The future is forsaken".

In a world where science had stepped beyond the realms of humanity and the search for higher learning had broken all known limits, a subatomic experiment gone wrong caused an uncontrollable fusion reaction to rip through planet Earth.

Now, one year later, the fragmented planet has been classified condemned by the ruling imperial theocracy, meaning that every freeloading scum in the universe has the rights to raid the dead system and take anything left behind.

Amidst the blasted remains of the forlorn Earth the worst mercenaries this side of the sun do battle not only against each other, but also the robot sentinels that the government has left behind. Our future has become forsaken.

Screaming through tunnels and roaring over the blackened plains, they seek the thrill of a post-apocalyptic head rush that only comes with such a deadly game.

You must compete against the likes of Mephistofun, a veteran of a dozen droid-combat wars and the epitome of pure pumped metal devastation. Beard, a head-banging, bear-swilling hard mother who never blows out his bones. Nubia, the meanest bitch this side of hell with a kill a minute attitude and trigger-happy mentality to match.

When the Earth is left to die and the galaxies' violet prodigy roams free, the future of our planet has become … forsaken.

Forsaken is primarily a multiplayer First-Person-Shooter. The game is based on a 3D-engine that allows unlimited 360-degree movements. This concept is similar to the Descent series, yet Forsaken is not just another Descent-clone, in fact the developers did an excellent job in creating a world of its own, with superior effects and gameplay.

Basically there are two modes to choose from: Single player and Multi player. It is most helpful to complete the single player mission first and gather some experience by fighting against the computer-controlled vehicles. On the other hand, if you do not like single player mode, playing the game against other human pilots might be an amazing new world for you. All in all the two game modes are pretty different, resulting in individual strategies for each mode.

]]> 04 Mar 2007 04:04:21 Daikatana is a first-person shooter computer game developed by Ion Storm and published by Eidos Interactive.

Daikatana was later ported to the Nintendo 64. A different version of the game was developed for the Game Boy Color, with a version for the PlayStation cancelled during development.

The game takes place during 2455 AD, in a world suffering from a major pandemic caused by a man named Kage Mishima. Through use of a magical sword called the daikatana, Mishima travelled back in time and prevented the disease from being cured, allowing him to take control of the world. The protagonist takes the form of a martial arts instructor named Hiro Miyamoto. Hiro, along with minor characters "Superfly Johnson" and Mikiko Ebihara, attempts to recover the daikatana, travelling to a number of different times and places in the process.

Players step into the role of a Commando performing precision operations deep behind enemy lines in this brutally realistic Star Wars combat experience. The game is set at the start of the Clone Wars, as seen in Episode II, featuring Clone Troopers and Jedi fighting a common foe side-by side.

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.

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.

]]> 06 Feb 2007 11:26:16 Call of Juarez is a First Person Shooter for PC, inspired from the greatest movies of the Western genre. It is the first 'serious' and the most realistic adaptation of the genre. Developed by Techland Studio, the game draws on the major themes of the American Wild West through confrontation between the two principal emblematic characters.

While the game focuses on a high level of realism with its incredible graphics, environments and overall look, the gameplay has not been neglected, and players will enjoy a great gaming experience with duels and shoot-outs, wild horseback antics and a great Western atmosphere.

The original scenario is loosely based on a number of Western movie hits from the seventies and eighties. Players will choose to play as either one of two different characters: Billy, a young fugitive accused of murder, or the merciless vigilante hunting him down, the Reverend Ray, an ex-outlaw who turned to religion, believing that God Himself has chosen Ray to be the instrument of His wrath.

Call of Juarez offers a wide variety of gameplay and features many exciting and innovative uses of objects and decor as well as liquids, gas, fire and smoke. Players will also appreciate the radically different ways the gameplay differs for both the main protagonists.
