UGO writes: "Rooted in the mythology of Robert Ludlum's Bourne series of novels, The Bourne Conspiracy is both an adaptation and expansion of the events depicted in the first film. Players take control of Jason Bourne (sans star Matt Damon's likeness) as he attempts to uncover his true identity. The events of the film are interspersed with a series of playable flashbacks which run through some of the trained killer's earlier days, when he was the hunter rather than the hunted.
In order to properly realize the late author's fictional world, High Moon and publisher Sierra Entertainment enlisted the aid of Tony Gilroy. Gilroy was the screenwriter on all three of the films and is nowadays considered the architect of Bourne's future. The writer was instrumental in helping High Moon craft a narrative which falls both factually and tonally in line with the source material.
The developer also brought in Bourne series veteran Jeff Imada, the architect of the character's unique style of fighting and fight stunt coordinator on the latter two films. Imada's presence is definitely apparent in the game's hand-to-hand combat mechanics. Bourne's reliance on trusty weapons is minimized completely, with combat revolving primarily around punches, kicks and the occasional weaponized environmental element."
TGC: There was a time when games based on movies were actually pretty good, and The Bourne Conspiracy stands out as one of the better attempts.
Solid movie licensed game indeed. Its unfortunately another High Moon Studios release (i.e. Transformers & Deadpool) with little hopes of a re-release or remaster happening anytime soon, due to expiring license.
As the world reels from the shockwaves of the seismic news that Microsoft is acquiring the proverbial swamp of the video-game landscape, Activision Blizzard King, it only seems natural that our minds should now shift towards what the fallout will be for presumably years if not decades to come.
Another Prototype would be awesome.
As for Singularity, I don't necessarily need a sequel, I just want to see Raven be able to flex their creative muscle again; not just be relegated to assisting with CoD. A lot of the old guard is still with the company.
That's part of what I'm hoping to see come from this acquisition. Revive teams like Vicarious Visions and Ravem to actually allow them to work on their own new projects again.
I'd like to see Activision get the Transformers license again and continue the War and Fall of Cybertron games. the movie games were crap and the game that combined both movie and Fall and War of Cybertron sucked a new Prototype would also be good as well.
Re-imagining of River Raid and the original adventurer Pitfall. Oh Zork is also a great game.

Castlevania Lecarde Chronicles 2

Just because it's an independent fan-made game doesn't mean it's not the greatest Castlevania title in over a decade. This masterpiece truly deserves to be played, but goes unnoticed 😔
Definitely some overlooked gems there. Shadows of the Damned was one of my top five favorite games from the last generation. Highly recommended just for the humor!
Gurumin A Monsterous Adventure. To this day I love that game. Like a light hearted more platformer than combat version of Threads of Fate. I don't know a single soul outside me and my brother that knows the game. sad because it's one of my favourite PSP games I played even on Vita alot. Now I play the PC version a bit lol
I have Dante's Inferno, but I've never paid any of the others. Too few people have played Ico. Still one of my favorite games. As for a game that no one seems to have heard of but me... Undergarden is great. Hard to describe. Watch a vid and you'll see.
The lack of Matt Damon's likeness = Me no likey.
this game looks epic
