Game modes:Single player, Co-operative, Multiplayer
Story:HyperBlade introduces the 3D battlesport of the future. Players engage in a futuristic street-hockey style game played out on the interior of an elongated ellipsoid arena. Body-checks (weapons are included) go for blood in this game as players can be gruesomely eliminated from the game, including the option to score with an opponent's dismembered head. Power-ups, speed boosts, ramps, and simple team management (for substitutions) are all part of the experience. Some strategy is required for play, but it's mostly pure action. The game also features multiple skill levels, 12 teams (from a US tournament league), and head-to-head network play (IPX and TCP LAN only). If you are looking for a 3D version of Speedball, this is as close as it gets.Show more

In the future of chunky low poly sports, you can whack the head off someone on the other team (after doing a sick, pointless jump off a tiny ramp) and then use it to score a goal. Nobody cares. It's close enough to the ball I guess. HyperBlade controls like a lawn mower trying to plow through a big bag of spoiled ham while falling down the stairs, but man is it good fun. Goofy power-ups, death traps all over the arena - this is combat sports at its not-quite-best.

I used to play this for hours on my parents old CRT. It ran SO SLOWLY on our early pentium but I sat through framerates you could time with a calendar because I loved this game so much. It was a silly game I think we got for free from Egghead (old store). I would love to see this gem revived.

A notoriously hard game to get running these days, Hyperblade is a violent and gory mix of jai alai and ice hockey with excellent stadium effects and a pumping soundtrack.

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the PatriotsMetal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is the final canonical Metal Gear game to feature Solid Snake as the main character. The gameplay of the previous games have been kept along with some new features, such as the ability to roll on your back and also to hide in bins scattered around the environment. Most of the story and the relationship between the characters are explained through cut-scenes with a considerable length, so knowledge of the prior games is recommended to fully understand the story. The game also features a complex multiplayer mode entitled Metal Gear Online with some original missions based on the stealth aspects of the single-player games.
