<br />
Often touted as the &quot;Spiritual successor to System Shock 2&quot;, BioShock is a long awaited fps in development by Irrational Games, with lead designer Ken Levine promising to advance the definition of first person shooters.  <br />
<br />
As a likely 2007 release grows closer more screenshots and trailers are being released, and one thing that's apparent is a gorgeous environment, seemingly inspired in great part by the art deco period of the last century.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;">Game overview and features as reported at the official site</span><br />
BioShock is a revolution in the shooter genre that will forever change the expectations for the FPS. Going beyond &quot;run and gun corridors,&quot; &quot;monster-closet AIs&quot; and static worlds, BioShock creates a living, unique and unpredictable FPS experience. BioShock is the Shooter 2.0.<br />
<br />
After your plane crashes into icy uncharted waters, you discover a rusted bathysphere and descend into Rapture, a city hidden beneath the sea. Constructed as an idealistic society for a hand picked group of scientists, artists and industrialists, the idealism is no more. Now the city is littered with corpses, wildly powerful guardians roam the corridors as little girls loot the dead, and genetically mutated citizens ambush you at every turn.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;">Features:</span><br />
<ul class="user_list"><br />
<li class="user_li">Take control of your world by hacking mechanical devices, commandeering security turrets and crafting unique items critical to your very survival.<br /></li><li class="user_li">Upgrade your weapons with ionic gels, explosives and toxins to customize them to the enemy and environment.<br /></li><li class="user_li">Genetically modify your body through dozens of Plasmid Stations scattered throughout the city, empowering you with fantastic and often grotesque abilities.<br /></li><li class="user_li">Explore a living world powered by Ecological A.I., where the inhabitants have interesting and consequential relationships with one another that impact your gameplay experience.<br /></li><li class="user_li">Experience truly next generation graphics that vividly illustrate the forlorn art deco city, highlighted by the most detailed and realistic water effects ever developed in a video game.<br /></li><li class="user_li">Make meaningful choices and mature decisions, ultimately culminating in the grand question: do you exploit the innocent survivors of Rapture...or save them?<br /></li></ul>

UnEarthed Gods is a PC Role Playing Game being developed by Clint Brewer. If you would like to know more about Unearthed Gods or UnEarthed Games, send questions to Clint, or comment here.<br />
<br />
To be notified when the game is available: Take a potato, cut it in half and insert a small piece of garlic in one half(it's important the piece is small...but not too small!), bind this in animal skin and bury it on an open hillock facing south. <br />
<br />
<strong>The down and dirty:</strong><br />
This has been in development in a while.  There is still a good deal of work to do to finish this and I'm reevaluating how I can best do this. Right now I'm planning on a more focused version. Focusing on the action of hand to hand weapons combat, and less on the magic casting and deep role playing aspect. There will still be magic but not the more complex type I have been planning for.  Any feedback you can give me about what you think given the little you've seen will help me direct the future development.  Your comments are most appreciated!<br />
<br />
Thanks for taking a look!<br />

The graphics and box art were designed by Chahi, while the music was composed by Jean-Fran&Atilde;&fnof;&AElig;&rsquo;&Atilde;&sbquo;&Acirc;&sect;ois Freitas.<br />
<br />
While not a great commercial success, Another World was innovative in its use of cinematic effects in the graphics, sound and cut scenes, with characters communicating through their facial features, gestures, and actions only. This cinematic style granted Another World cult status amongst critics and fans.<br />
<br />
The protagonist of the game is Lester Knight Chaykin; a young, athletic, red haired physicist. Lester arrives at his high-tech underground laboratory during a thunderstorm, and continues to work on his experiment using a particle accelerator. Right before the particles reach their intended destination, lightning strikes the lab and interferes with the accelerator causing the unforeseen teleportation of Lester to a barren alien planet.<br />
<br />
The player can control Lester using the keyboard or gamepad using four directions buttons and two action buttons: one for main actions, and one for jumping. Depending on the player's current position, movement, and status, the main action key performs a variety of actions including attacking and interacting with Lester's environment. At the start of the game Lester can only kick to attack, but later he can acquire a gun. While the movement keys normally make Lester run, the game also features sections where the player must swim, roll, or drive a vehicle. The player only has one life, but there are multiple checkpoints he can return to by entering the relevant pass code given at each one.<div style="clear:both;"></div> ]]></description>			<pubDate>10 Dec 2006 09:53:52</pubDate>		</item>		<item>			<title>Gem Ball: Ancient Legends</title>			<link><![CDATA[ http://www.greatgamesexperiment.com/game/gemball/?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss ]]></link>			<description><![CDATA[ <img style="float: left; clear: left;" src="http://static.greatgamesexperiment.com/userimages/7/78446682aa227568a10b86fd79485773_sq.jpg" title="Gem Ball: Ancient Legends Image" /> Gem Ball is a 3D arcade game.
