Ultimate Spider-Man

Description

When 15-year-old Peter Parker was bitten by a genetically altered spider he became faster, stronger, more agile and gained the spider-like ability to cling to walls. Add web shooters and a costume and Peter becomes Spider-Man. Eddie Brock, Jr. is Peter’s childhood friend. In search of his scientist father’s legacy, Eddie came in contact with a symbiotic suit which transformed him into the monstrous Venom.

Uru – Ages Beyond Myst

Description

Uru: Ages Beyond Myst continues the saga of the D’ni at a different point in their time line. In the first Myst game, players met the sons of Atrus whose actions contributed to the demise of the D’ni Ages. In Uru, players instead interact with Atrus’ daughter, Yeesha, who sends them on a quest through the linking books.

As in the earlier games, players progress through exploration, finding clues, and solving puzzles.

Unlike previous games in the series, Uru allows players to utilize both first- and third-person perspectives. A new play-style has also been introduced to capitalize on the game’s use of real-time 3D, allowing players to run, strafe, climb, and jump through the game world. The game’s interface reflects this, as players must now use both the mouse and the keyboard to control the protagonist. …

UEFA Champions League 2004-2005

Description

After many years under Eidos/Silicon Dreams ownership and development, EA releases the official Champions League game for the 2004/2005 season.

The last rehash of the engine debuted on FIFA 2003, it draws most of it’s gameplay elements from the 2005 edition, but with some changes to gameplay such as a slightly more aggressive AI on attack (reducing the need to constantly push players forward using the Off The Ball controls, still present), new refereeing aspects such as some deliberate errors (as in occasional bad offside calls or throw-ins, not cheating the player through mistakes), advantage rule and handballs and a new set piece system, which replaces the much criticized “targeting” and “push and shove” featured in 2005. This system is much less rigid and less formulaic, as a directional arrow and powerbars define how balls are crossed and there are four player movement setups, thus making each corner and indirect free kicks different. For direct free kicks, players have the option to take driven or curved shots or drop a pass to a nearby player to explore a gap in the defense. All options are available at all times, instead of being determined by the distance to goal. Many of these changes were later adapted into the new FIFA 06 engine, and it was also chosen as the match engine for subsequent Bright Future’s FIFA Manager. …
