RoboCop allows the player to play as RoboCop and to uncover a sinister plot involving OCP, local gangsters dealing a deadly new synthetic drug and a powerful cyborg known only as MIND. As a last hope, RoboCop must capture, destroy, or arrest hostile characters in a desperate search for clues and evidence. Robocop places you in the titanium-coated-with-kevlar boots of Alex Murphy, killed in the line of duty and resurrected as the cyborg officer Robocop. The 2003 game features a new plot not featured in any of the films. Crime is up in Neo-Detroit due to the rapid proliferation of a new designer drug "Brain Drain," and the efforts of crime lord William Nexx to control its profitable distribution. Meanwhile, a mayoral race is heating up and getting dirty. And of course, mega-corporation OCP's role in all this is almost certain, but unclear.

《战锤40000:战争黎明》(Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War,台译《战锤:破晓之战》)的繁体中文版将由台湾英特卫发行繁体中文版。《战锤40000:战争黎明》以着名纸上战棋游戏“战锤WarHammer”为主题的开发的3D即时战略游戏,四个种族:星际战士、混沌军团、欧克蛮人、神灵族因各自的利益在星际间战斗。各有高达十多种兵种、兵器及特殊能力,将原本纸上游戏中的各种设定都忠实搬到玩家的电脑上。 无需生产 《战锤40000:战争黎明》最大特色就是无需生产,而是以“占点”的方式来获得各式资源,游戏主要在强调“前线作战的激烈度”,不会有繁复的收集资源和生产过程。 战场以进攻来作为获得补给的方式;以组为最小单位的部队,使得交战的双方之间之间的冲突规模更大、更加频繁。战场上随时有数十名模型制作精细、动作生动丰富的士兵在交战,场面壮观华丽。《战锤40000:战争黎明》也支援8人连线对战。 近战与远距战斗动画 由于几乎每个即时战略单位都做了动画,游戏提供了细腻逼真的战斗细节描绘,您可以看到混沌军团的大恶魔一击将十多名敌步兵扫开打飞,然后再一斧头砍爆倒在地上的人;陆战队员平时以重机枪射击,敌人接近时则会抽出长刀上前厮杀;巨大的无畏级诸多即时战略战斗的热血、残酷细节呈现。 四个种族各自有不同的特色:风格各异的兵种、建筑,四种独特的科技树,连基地的建造方式也各不相同:兽人是用轰炸机空投建筑和部队,而星际陆战队则是由行星轨道上的母船直接把增援打下去。您会看到巨大的铁球呼啸着从天上掉下来,轰然扎进土?,然后展开变成基地。 12个不同的兵种 游戏中每个种族有12个不同的兵种,各兵种还能配置不同的装备:装备喷火器、重机枪、狙击步枪等等以适应不同战斗的需求。士兵会以组为单位指挥,这使得游戏即能制造出庞大的场面又可保持良好的操作性。《战锤40000:战争黎明》还引入了士气对部队的影响,假如您的部队被凶猛的火力交叉射击,或者是被狙击手攻击而无法还击,他们的士气都会降低。而若是在指挥官的率领下突击,则会因士气高涨而战斗力大增。 无论哪一种游戏中的士兵在装备着远端武器的同时都具备了近战能力。当两支部队相遇时,起先是双方互相射击,而后随着距离的接近各自拿出战斧和大刀呼喊着冲向对方。战斗迅速被扬起的烟尘笼罩,变成一场混乱的肉搏。同时Relic还特意加强了肉搏的重要性,在一群手持战斧的欧克兽人冲进己方阵形之后,枪支的射击很难对他们造成太大伤害,这时最好的办法就是枪枝上刺刀后再和这些蛮子拼个您死我活。 策略得以做最大延伸 在《战锤40000:战争黎明》中建造或者是升级部队所消耗的补给点乃是需要靠扩张来维持,在战斗中每当玩家占领了一个战略位置之后都会以一定的速率得到补给点数,若是在此地造上一个基地,增长的速度就会增加。 战略位置通常遍布整张地图,这意味着想占领一个点很容易,但您的士兵有限,想把他们全守住却很困难,也就是说在游戏中主动攻击一方会获得更多的资源是说《战锤40000:战争黎明》中的战斗会比寻常的游戏更加的激烈。 士兵会视手中的武器自动攻击适当的目标,手持重机炮的步兵会自动选择轻步兵做为目标,配备电浆枪的步兵则会选择敌重步兵,配有火箭发射器的步兵则会朝敌炮塔或载具开火,即时战略兵种间相生相克的控兵基本功现在可以放心交给电脑AI而不需手忙脚乱地拖着某个单位绕着队友团团转。

Chaos has erupted throughout the galaxy. As a leader of an elite squad of Republic Commandos, your mission is to infiltrate, dominate, and ultimately, annihalate the enemy. Your squad will follow your orders and your lead, working together as a team-instinctively, intelligently, instantly. You are their leader. They are your weapon. Star Wars: Republic Commando is a tactical first-person shooter video game, set in the Star Wars universe. It was developed by LucasArts using the Unreal Engine, and published for the Xbox and Microsoft Windows in 2005. The game features both single-player and multiplayer game modes. In the story, set in the Star Wars Legends expanded universe, players assume the role of RC-1138 ("Boss"), an elite clone trooper, known as "clone commando", and the leader of the special ops unit Delta Squad, consisting of three fellow clone commandos with distinctive personalities and character traits: RC-1262 ("Scorch"), RC-1140 ("Fixer"), and RC-1207 ("Sev"). The story follows Delta Squad as they complete increasingly difficult missions throughout the Clone Wars and learn to bond as a team. Republic Commando received generally favorable reviews at release. Many critics praised the story and combat, but criticized the short length and average multiplayer. In the years since its release, it has come to be considered one of the best Star Wars games ever made, and has gained a cult following. An enhanced port of the game by Aspyr is set to release for the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 on April 6, 2021. As reported by Jordan Ramée of GameSpot, "Handled by Aspyr Media, Star Wars: Republic Commando Remastered brings the original 2005 Xbox and PC game to PS4 and Switch with enhanced HD graphics and modernized controls, though the multiplayer is absent. Otherwise, it's the same game. And though the flaws in its gameplay are only more noticeable now 16 years later, this remaster manages to still deliver a compelling story of four specialized commandos engaging in a variety of combat missions across the Clone Wars.".
