Hollywood and video games have frequently had a love affair with government agents because agents' jobs seem to be packed with action and danger. Not only do they travel to exotic locations and carry out missions to save the world, they are essentially free to use any means necessary to accomplish their goals. This virtual "license to kill" allows them to wreak havoc, creating intriguing action sequences and fast paced moments that keep the viewer (or player) on the edge of his seat. The most recent title to adapt this concept is High Moon Studios and Sierra's Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Conspiracy, the newly released action-adventure title that lets players unleash their inner Treadstone agent. While stepping into the shoes of the 30 million dollar weapon with a serious case of amnesia is an engaging task, particularly with the hand to hand combat, some of the technical issues attached to the title pull the game back from being as excellent as it could have been.
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
http://the-mig-page.wifeo.c...
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.
I will probabyly rent this game, from what I saw from that video the game looks good. But, looks are deceiving it won't matter anyway. If its really great, it will be a four day purchase for me.
looks like a rent. vids actually look pretty good and hand to hand combat system sounds awesome. bit disappointed to hear about the shooting aspect mentioned in review but will see how this plays out in a rent.
sounds like a reasonably good game though.
hmm looks okk maybe worth a rent...gta iv is getting boring :[[
