A tropical paradise seethes with hidden evil in Far Cry®, a cunningly detailed action shooter that pushes the boundaries of combat to shocking new levels. Freelance mariner Jack Carver is cursing the day he ever came to this island. A week ago, a brash female reporter named Valerie had offered him an incredible sum of cash to take her to this unspoiled paradise. Shortly after docking, however, Jack's boat was greeted by artillery fire from a mysterious militia group swarming about the island. With his boat destroyed, his money gone, and the gorgeous Valerie suddenly missing, Jack now finds himself facing an army of mercenaries amidst the wilds of the island, with nothing but a gun and his wits to survive. But the further he pushes into the lush jungle canopy, the stranger things become. Jack encounters an insider within the militia group who reveals the horrific details of the mercenaries' true intentions. He presents Jack with an unsettling choice: battle the deadliest mercenaries, or condemn the human race to a maniac's insidious agenda. Feel the Far Cry engine - The meticulously designed, next-generation Far Cry engine pushes the threshold of action gaming with proprietary Polybump mapping, advanced environment and character physics, destructible terrain, dynamic lighting, motion-captured animation, and total surround sound. Unparalleled long-range gunplay - Battle to the ends of the earth with Far Cry's utterly unique, 800-meter scalable view system. Lock onto enemies from a distance with motion-sensing binoculars. Then choose your style of attack - from long-range sniping to ballistic close-quarters firefights - and everything in between. Cunning and complex AI tactics - Battles never become repetitive when you face Far Cry's unpredictable, intelligent AI mercenary units trained in advanced adaptive group tactics. Units include snipers, stalkers, scouts, and grenadiers who engage you from all angles, distances, and terrains in coordinated strikes. Commanders will even call for reinforcements by land, sea, or air. Diverse combat action - Master a dynamic slate of combat skills - close-quarters combat, long-range shooting, search-and-destroy tactics, stealth operations, and combat driving skills through indoor and outdoor environments. Heart-pounding atmosphere - Experience unprecedented drama and realism in a misleadingly perfect setting, with incredible lighting and shadows, adaptive audio, and weather effects.

《魔兽争霸III》获证实为一款极其出色的电脑游戏,发行起计两周内便售出550万套,而其中450万套更是预订销售。玩家可以选择在《魔兽争霸III》中操控四个种族,其中两个在前作《魔兽争霸II》已曾经出现,分别是人类 (Human) 和兽族 (Orc),另外两个则是《魔兽争霸III》新增的种族暗暗夜精灵 (Night Elf) 和不死族 (Undead)。娜迦族 (Naga) 在制作时曾经设想作为第五个可操控的种族,但在游戏测试时删去,而官方解释就是加上娜迦族之后很难保证游戏的平衡性,而今它则出现在单人任务模式和中立生物当中。 《魔兽争霸III》与暴雪公司之前发布的《星际争霸》一样,可谓一款成功的即时战略游戏。游戏包含了大多数即时战略游戏所具备的要素:资源采集、基地建立和战斗指挥。游戏的操作方式亦类似星际争霸,秉承了星际争霸易于操作的优点,并简化了星际争霸中一些繁琐的操作,例如玩家可设定电脑以“自动施放”部份常用魔法,从而省去人手操作的过程。 此外,亦可从四个种族之设定见到《星际争霸》的影子,譬如暗暗夜精灵则像《星际争霸》Terran 般可以移动自己的基地,而不死族与 Protoss 皆能制作一种专门用于侦察的隐形单位,且于造建筑物时农民于可离开建筑物(犹如“召唤”建筑一样而非“建构”建筑)。

genre: Shooter / Adventure platform: Windows / PlayStation 2 / Xbox publisher: SCi Entertainment
Take control of Ramiro Cruz, a man on a crazy mission through Mexico's drug-fueled underworld. An amazing combat system keeps the action intense, mixing third person action with an incredible combo system for maximum carnage - and maximum replayability. Hilarious special moves and a huge amount of weaponry makes Total Overdose as frantic and fun an adventure as you could ever hope to find, and a red-hot latin soundtrack fits the action perfectly. This can be the perfect Latino gangsta sandbox game you were looking for all your life! The year is 1989 and deep in the sweltering heat of the Mayan jungle, camouflaged among the Inca ruins, Ernesto Cruz catches his breath for a few moments and admires his handiwork, bodies strewn across the temple ruins, as he makes a last gasp effort to board a DEA plane to take him to safety. He never made it home, the tragic victim of an alleged 'overdose’. Two weeks later, Ernesto's son, Ramiro Cruz is hauled out of jail by the DEA to be told his twin brother, Tommy, works for them as an undercover agent and has some new information about their father's death. But, Tommy has had an accident with a hand grenade and now Ramiro must take his brother's place in an undercover operation closing in on the ruthless drug cartel overlord Papa Muerte.

游戏厂商2K Games近日宣布《黑暗》即将推出续作《黑暗2(The Darkness 2)》。根据国外媒体报道,《黑暗2》预计游戏正式发售日期是2011年10月7日,,并将在PC,XBox360和PS3平台推出。 前作《黑暗》是由Top Cow出版的同名漫画“The Darkness”所改编的暴力风格动作射击游戏,玩家扮演Franchetti家族的杀手Jackie Estacado,他在迈入第21岁生日时,体内潜藏的黑暗力量突然复苏,这股黑暗的力量有多种形式,玩家可借着吞噬、刺穿等方式来残杀敌人,但这个力量必须要在黑暗下才能展现。 《黑暗2》的时空背景将设定在前作结局发生的两年之后,玩家将再次扮演第一作的主角Jackie Estacado。本次游戏剧本依然由英国漫画家Paul Jenkins负责,而开发工作则由开发过《杀戮地带》、《生化奇兵》等知名游戏的研发商Digital Extremes负责。《黑暗2》将继续Jackie Estacado的故事,他现在是弗兰凯蒂家族的老大。在抑制了黑暗之力(The Darkness)之后,黑暗之力想要自由。在一场黑帮之战之后,黑暗之力和Jackie再次聚合,Jackie将找寻幕后黑手和帮助他的黑暗之力的动力。 游戏继续支持使用火器的同时,用你的恶魔之手释放挥鞭攻击,攫取物体,投掷物体和敌人。 “《黑暗2》是一款充满黑暗和想象力的暴力游戏,有着风格化的美丽梦魇”,2K总裁Christoph Hartmann说道:“《黑暗2》将继续发扬2K Games一贯创作充满质量,创新和深邃叙事的游戏的优良传统。游戏将建立一套独特的黑暗对战光明的战斗姿态。融合Jackie的火器和充满超自然力量的恶魔之手和黑暗力量,我们很自豪地宣布这款新作。” 项目主管Sheldon Carter在本周GDC期间接受Destructoid采访时暗示了剧情主线的一点信息。 不过他也没有谈论多少详细内容,Carter重点说了说《黑暗II》中主角Jackie的超能力以及他利用黑暗力量的另外一些方式。 其中一个新方式是:两个恶魔手臂可以协同合作。左臂可以抓住一名敌人,右臂处决他。左臂主要负责“抓取”,你可以利用它来抓住物体并扔向敌人——甚至刺穿他们。 《黑暗》是一款第一人称的射击游戏,由Starbreeze Studios开发、2K Games发行。于2007年6月份在北美和欧洲发售。该游戏是基于同名漫画改编。发售平台是X360和PS3。
