---

Will is a young boy whose father disappeared long time ago. Now Will lives in a small town with his grandparents. He possesses unusual abilities of pushing and pulling things without touching them. One day, he finds in his house a girl, who soon turns out to be the princess Kara. Kara's father, king Edward, wants her to marry a mysterious person called the Jackal. Kara asks Will to help her to escape the palace, and soon they both get involved in a string of mystery and conspiracies.

Illusion of Gaia is an action role-playing game set in a fantasy version of Earth reminiscent of the age of exploration (16th century) and featuring famous real-world locations such as the Egyptian pyramids, the Great Wall of China, etc. The player controls Will, who can either fight in his regular form or transform into any of the two alter egos: the dark knight Freedan and Shadow, a manifestation of energy. Each character has different attributes and fights with his own weapon. The player receives special jewels upon clearing a room of enemies, which acts like experience points and is used to improve the protagonist's attributes. There is no monetary system or equipment in the game.

Dec. 3, 2024 Review Uma das melhores adaptações de filmes para games - Publicado originalmente como comentário, no tópico Ja jogaram Alien 3 de SNES? - Grupo Jogos Retrô - Lemmy Brasil , em 02/12/2024. Uma das melhores adaptações de filmes live action para SNES. Veio de uma safra que contava também com Stargate e Judge Dredd (este último tenho o cartucho até hoje aqui). Mas Alien 3 se destaca por sua trilha sonora bem tensa, gráficos, complexidade das missões e jogabilidade bem à frente do seu tempo. Chama à atenção a arma multifunção, com: metralhadora, lança-granadas, lança-mísseis e até lança-chamas, que você usa tanto para combate quanto para isolar uma área, soldando as portas para que os aliens não entrem. E também temos as clássicas partes de andar agachado dentro das tubulações É um jogo dificílimo, nunca finalizei. E surpreende por ter várias missões numa mesma fase: resgate de prisioneiros, destruir ovos dos aliens, selar portas etc. Nem tudo são flores, a jogabilidade é meio esquisita (os pulos soam como em câmera lenta). Por outro lado, os gráficos são de cair o queixo. Tanto o level design, contando com vários planos (dando aquele efeito "paralaxe") e a própria movimentação de Ripley , como quando ela atravessa uma área segurando nos ferros com as duas mãos (semelhantes a uma "escada na horizontal", que costumamos ver nos playgrounds ou quartéis), vemos a arma em seu ombro, pendurada pela "bandoleira" e balançando. Os terminais davam aquele descanso e uma sensação de calmaria, antes de partir para o combate novamente. Neles, você poderia escolher as missões e também tinha acesso às plantas (mapas) do local. Também havia um radar para alertar sobre a presenção dos aliens, se bem me lembro. E a lembrança traumática que muitos têm, a tela de Game Over , com áudio do filme "Game Over, man!" enquanto mostra uma imagem mega realista de um alien babando!

https://i.imgur.com/UbuYGIb.jpeg

Depois, comprei uma caixinha chamada "Half-Life Generation", que vinha com 4 CDs: "Half-Life" ("o jogo necessário para rodar CS"), "Opposing Force", "Blue Shift" (expansões) e "Couter Strike".

https://i.imgur.com/u9jfElP.jpeg

No dia em que o pedido chegou, estava num churrasco de confraternização da firma. Depois de ficar levemente alcoolizado e cantar "Chopis Centis" (Mamonas Assassinas) no karaokê, voltei para casa no final da tarde.

Ansioso e ainda sobre o efeito do álcool, tentei abri-lo com a chave de casa (o resultado pode ser conferido na foto do estojo original). Felizmente, os CDs ficaram intactos.

https://i.imgur.com/BCgeTUu.jpeg

Passei a jogá-lo ainda com conexão discada, de 56 Kbps. Nas salas de bate papo do lobby conheci um grande amigo do RJ, que hoje mora em Portugal. Chegamos até a fazer parte de um "clan" (time). Lá se vão mais de duas décadas.

Os últimos coops que jogamos foram: "Portal 2", "Spec Ops: The Line" e atualmente estamos jogando "Shift Happens".

Half-Life® 2: Episode Two is the second in a trilogy of new games created by Valve that extends the award-winning and best-selling Half-Life® adventure.

As Dr. Gordon Freeman, you were last seen exiting City 17 with Alyx Vance as the Citadel erupted amidst a storm of unknown proportions. In Episode Two, you must battle and race against Combine forces as you traverse the White Forest to deliver a crucial information packet stolen from the Citadel to an enclave of fellow resistance scientists.

Episode Two extends the award-winning Half-Life gameplay with unique weapons, vehicles, and newly-spawned creatures.

Jan. 1, 2010 played Para o #SegundaFicha cujo tema é “momentos impactantes (narrativos ou mecânicos)”, trago "Half-Life² - Episode Two" (2007), com "Dog vs Strider". Dog, apesar do nome, é um robô grandalhão que mais lembra um gorila em seus movimentos. Foi criado por Eli Vance para cuidar de sua filha, Alyx. Neste trecho, ele salva a pele dela e de Gordon Freeman (personagem que controlamos). O que é mais fascinante neste jogo é que não há cutscenes, toda a ação acontece em tempo real e continuamos a controlar o personagem, escolhendo o que olhar e de qual ponto de vista.

Oct. 24, 2024 playing Este jogo será removido do Steam no dia 15 de dezembro de 2024. E, hoje, já não permite mais a compra de nenhum DLC de forma avulsa.

Ou seja: se você quiser os conteúdos adicionais, como os trocentos carros dos DLCs, compensa mais pegar a edição Ultimate.

Disseram que é praxe a Microsoft remover jogos antigos dessa franquia das lojas digitais, supostamente por causa da expiração do licenciamento de marcas e músicas.

O que gosto na franquia Forza é a possibilidade de jogar com marcha manual e embreagem. Além disso, na visão do cockpit, é bem divertido dirigir nas pistas com chuva, neve e poças d'água.

Na versão Ultimate, é carro que não acaba mais:

1 - Ritual Entertainment: este é o nome da desenvolvedora do jogo. Numa caverna bem escondida, encontramos uma pessoa fazendo reverência à placa com o nome da empresa. Metalinguagem, pois "ritual".

2 - Filme "O dia em que a Terra parou" (The Day the Earth Stood Still, 1951): Este é meu favorito. Num quadro de cortiça de um dos escritórios, há uma frase pregada na parte inferior: "Klaatu Barada Nikto". Ainda que o filme seja antigo, não darei spoiler para quem não o assistiu. É uma frase icônica na cultura pop e um longa que merece ser assistido.

Motor Rock
Dec. 16, 2013
genre: Racing platform: PC developer: Yard Team publisher: Yard Team
Motor Rock is an unofficial 3D remake of Rock 'n Roll Racing. Like the original, it is a racing game where drivers from various planets compete in an intergalactic championship using both their skills behind the wheel and the deadly weapons and booby-traps their vehicles are equipped with. The game features several modes, including single races and tournament. In the tournament mode, the player must win enough races to continue to the next planet, using the money earned by his victories to upgrade his current car or buy a more powerful one. A multiplayer mode is also present.

The game offers two views: the classic isometric view of the original game and a rear view more similar to 3D racing games like the Rock 'n Roll Racing's sequel Red Asphalt. As in Rock 'n Roll Racing, the soundtrack is comprised of arrangements of famous rock songs.

Um clássico do SNES / Mega Drive, com trilha sonora de clássicos do Rock (em versão instrumental), como "Hightway Star" (Deep Purple), "Paranoid" (Black Sabbath) e "Born to be wild" (Steppenwolf).

Basicamente, é um battle race, como Mario Kart, mas numa visão isométrica.

A propriedade intelectual do jogo pertence à Blizzard, que sentou em cima do jogo e não deixa ninguém fazer nada (vide o caso do excelente Motor Rock, feito pelos russos da Yard Team, que é a melhor criação desde o jogo original).

Traz um ritmo extremamente frenético, boa física e jogabilidade.

Em determinados momentos, me senti jogando o primeiro Half-Life que saiu mais ou menos um ano depois. E isso não é à toa: Half-Life usa a GoldSrc, uma versão modificada da Quake engine.

Portanto, Quake II envelheceu bem e vale a pena ser revisitado pelos fãs do gênero.

Sept. 17, 2024 played No final de semana, estava com vontade de jogar algo bem descompromissado, "sem enredo" ou maiores complicações. Foi a escolha certa.

Meu primeiro contato com a franquia foi com Quake II, daquela revista Full Games.

Por conta disso, a primeira vez que joguei um pouco do primeiro game, estranhei um pouco por conta dos gráficos (inclusive, no início dos anos 2000, era um dos poucos jogos disponíveis nativamente para Linux).

Mas assim com aconteceu com Mortal Kombat I, esse primeiro jogo da franquia Quake ganhou uma aura especial para mim. Realmente, um divisor de águas entre os Jogos de Tiro em Primeira Pessoa.

Sept. 17, 2024 played #SegundaFicha Um jogo que daria um belo filme é Half-Life (1998). Desde que o protagonista fosse mudo.

Nele, você controla Gordon Freeman, um cientista com PHD em física teórica que, acidentalmente, abre um portal para seres de outro planeta / dimensão.

Um dos detalhes marcantes, é que Gordon jamais pronúncia uma palavra. E isso vira piada quando alguns personagens falam com ele: "Um homem de poucas palavras, né?".

Oct. 1, 2010 played Para o #SegundaFicha , trago Halo Reach. Trata-se de um prequel do primeiro Halo e traz a queda de Reach, planeta colonizado por humanos. Nele, controlamos um Spartan que não é Master Chief. No final, que não contarei, temos um recurso narrativo bem engenhoso na mecânica do jogo e bem emocionante, devido a toda jornada que percorremos até ali.

Metal Wolf Chaos XD Steam
genre: Action platform: PC developer: General Arcade / FromSoftware, Inc publisher: Devolver Digital
The country is in peril as President Michael Wilson defends the nation against a full-scale rebellion led by Vice-President Richard Hawk and the mechanized legions he commands. As the 47th President of the United States, it is your sworn duty to take your country back by any means necessary and end this unjust coup d'etat! Battle in your advanced mech - armed to the teeth - across iconic American landscapes including the Brooklyn Bridge, the Grand Canyon, and the front steps of the White House.



FromSoftware originally released Metal Wolf Chaos in December 2004, appearing exclusively on the original Xbox and only in Japan. The game went on to become somewhat of a legend as it was hard to acquire and even harder to play outside of Japan with most fans experience of the game through YouTube videos and the occasional screenshot. Devolver Digital and FromSoftware have partnered together with developer General Arcade to modernize Metal Wolf Chaos with updates to the game including upgraded visual fidelity, refined controls and gameplay, a new save system, and 4K + 16:9 support for modern displays.
Sept. 3, 2024 to play Para o #SegundaFicha de hoje, escolho "Metal Wolf Chaos", jogo da FromSoftware, lançado originalmente em 2004 para o primeiro Xbox (caixão). Você controla o presidente dos EUA, que está resistindo a um Golpe de Estado promovido por seu vice e ambos caem na porrada usando mechas (robôs). Como diria um comentário à época: "um jogo 'americanista' demais para os EUA", por isso foi lançado somente no Japão... Até que, em 2019, fizeram um port para PC. Está há um tempão na minha lista de desejos, esperando uma boa promoção.
