A truly great sequel that was well priced, had a legit campaign this time, fun horde mode, and multiple game modes to play on each map. Plus it got jet bikes and no more piercing shield range wonkiness. Sadly another casualty of Games For Windows Live that you can't legally buy anywhere.
Most underrated multiplayer game ever. Insane improvement from the first one, too. Sadly the Windows Live integration made this game a gem lost in time. Would love to play this game again. I could see this game reviving again if it is brought back through GoG. Even if it only has 1 server that's populated, it would be 100% worth it. Will buy it for myself and two friends so we can play together. Playing offline against bots wasn't bad either. Make it happen!
I got this game on Xbox 360 after seeing the one and only TotalBiscuit's strong endorsements of it. He really adored this game when it released and was pushing for its success.
For the gameplay it has a lot going for it: maps were decently big and dropping in from orbit was a novel way of respawning. The ebb and flow of taking and losing the control points, which gives control of a base to one team or another complete with a suite of built in defenses, provides a constant objective to focus on whether you choose to stay on defense and protect a base or make an offensive to capture another one. Dynamic combat missions further mixed things up with side objectives, some of which provided a permanent bonus for the rest of the match.
Vehicles being delivered by airship anywhere you want them will always be a great sight in any game, reminiscent of that one moment in the first Halo, but that it was happening in a multiplayer game was extra cool to see especially for the era. All with bots for offline/online play (as player fill-ins).
For why I'd like to see it on GOG, availability and (fingers crossed) simplicity in accessing its full features. The Steam version is delisted and while it has some lingering keys around it still requires many hoops to jump through just to run, let alone get nearly the full experience (sans ranked play), due to a reliance on both Games For Windows Live (GFWL) and its own shortlived servers that could be fixed up with a new release.
As it stands across all versions there are a handful of weapon unlocks requiring Ranked play and are thus no longer accessible through normal means, a whole game mode (Skirmish) that required a small token from official servers just to access and even DLC purchased back in the day no longer official activates due to GFWL shutting down most of its services. GFWL is still required to run the game but as a legacy service there's no guarantee today's limited version of GFWL will remain available forever.

Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VIIDirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII is an action role-playing third-person shooter. As the first shooter game in the Final Fantasy series, the action is viewed from an over-the-shoulder perspective similar to Resident Evil 4, although players can switch to a first-person perspective if they wish. Defeating enemies yields EXP, and at the end of each stage, the player can either use that EXP to level up, increasing Vincent's stats, or convert it to Gil (the in-game currency), which can then be used to purchase items and equipment upgrades.Action Fantasy Science fiction
FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival.
Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed.
The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo.
As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity.
Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.Our Pick Top Trending Science fiction Sandbox

Resident Evil: Deadly SilenceResident Evil: Deadly Silence is an enhanced version of the original Resident Evil for the Nintendo DS port. It was made to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the series. Toshiaki Mori provided promotional artwork during the release of the game, including cover art.
Deadly Silence includes a "Classic Mode", the original game with minimal enhancements and touch-screen support, and a "Rebirth Mode", containing a greater number of enemies and a series of new puzzles that make use of the platform's specifications.
The game makes use of the dual screen display with the top screen used to display the map, along with the player's remaining ammunition and health (determined by the color of the background); while the bottom screen displays the main action, and can be switched to show the player's inventory. The DS version also includes updated play mechanics: the 180-degree turn introduced in Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, along with the knife button and tactical reload from Resident Evil 4. The updated controls are applicable to both Classic and Rebirth modes. Dialog and loading screens can now be skipped. The live-action footage was still censored, even in the game's Japanese release; however, the scene showing Kenneth's decapitated head was kept.
In "Rebirth", new puzzles are added that use the system's touch-screen. "Knife Battle" sequences, viewed from a first-person perspective, are also added, in which the player must fend off incoming enemies by swinging the knife via the stylus. One particular puzzle requires the player to resuscitate an injured comrade by blowing into the built-in microphone. The player can also shake off enemies by using the touch screen, performing a melee attack.
The game also includes wireless LAN support for up to four players with two different multiplayer game modes. The first is a cooperative mode in which each player must help each other solve puzzles and escape the mansion together. The other is a competitive mode in which the objective is to get the highest score out of all the players by destroying the most monsters, with the tougher monsters being worth more points. There are three playable multiplayer stages and nine playable characters.Horror Survival
Resident Evil Survivor 2 Code: VeronicaResident Evil Survivor 2 Code: Veronica is a first-person shooter video game and the second installment in the Gun Survivor series. As in most lightgun games, the objective is to make it through an environment while shooting enemies. It is somewhat less typical in that you have full roaming control over your character rather than being stuck on rails. More unusually, a timer begins as you enter each area. If the timer runs out before you leave, Nemesis will appear and chase you.Action Horror

You'll pick up several guns through the course of the game, including a magnum, a shotgun, and an assault rifle. But like in other Resident Evil games, zombies are difficult to put down permanently and ammo can be very scarce.Horror Survival
