I first played Dark Sector on PS3 when I was younger, but I barely remembered it. Recently, I gave it another shot when it was offered for free, and my god, such a hidden gem. Despite its old-school mechanics and kinda clunky controls, it holds up surprisingly well, the difficulty is the cherry on top, Dark Sector is amazing!
Oh, darkSector... it needed more of an audience. Like most, I found out about it after playing Warframe, but it's one fun ride. To think there's a timeline out there where this was successful enough to be turned into a franchise...
Also, it's just cool as hell to toss a glaive, give it an elemental infusion, and slice off the heads of your enemies.
This game was served as a predecessor to their currently active online co-op game Warframe, although their PC port felt poorly playable despite the game was already ported here by fellow Russian gaming company as Digital Extremes previously intended.
I remember borrowing this title from a friend. It was really cool. There's just something inherently awesome about throwing an organically grown bladed frisbee...
And then it gets better with the Aftertouch ability that lets you control that bladed frisbee midhflight and in slow motion. Add in some elemental effect as a cherry on top and enjoy the results.
I love the moment when Hayden say "This is a dark sector, so I will need to put up some Frame of War" 10/10 absolute cinema
Joke aside, thanks to the free giveaway on steam, this game got me hooked, and i mean, HOOKED to Warframe now. If we can get a version of GOG, then DE will have no choice but to made Dark Sector Canon (hopefully)
Played this on Xbox 360 and it was great. Also got the game on Steam for FREE last year. It's not really superior. Because CD Projekt Black/Porting House screwed up the Widescreen resolutions and the post processing crap. I'm fine that multiplayer is absent. All I asked is for the game to be polished up a bit and Achievements included.
Also the Nvidia PhysX is broken. So if you have already installed Nvidia PhysX Legacy Driver, UNINSTALL IT and USE the provided ones from the game. The uninstall it and then reinstall the Nvidia PhysX Legacy Driver back on. It's weird, but that is how you get this game running on Steam. Even SteamStub DRM is a b!tch to deal with without Steamless.
Before "Warframe" there was this overlooked game from the 7th generation. This game isn't anything that special by any means, but it has a good artstyle and has solid gameplay. But what really sold me was the oversized Shuriken and how well you could aim it to not only hit multiple enemies but also engage with some minor puzzles. It was satisfying.
Would love to see it on GOG!
It's ahead of its time. Difficult as all heck with a good storyline to match the challenge of combat. The hook is the tri-blade, but there is a stealth component.

It’s been 20 years since the events of the original game. The virus won, and humanity is slowly dying. You play as Aiden Caldwell, a wandering Pilgrim who delivers goods, brings news, and connects the few remaining survivor settlements in barren lands devastated by the zombie virus.

Haunted by the past, you eventually make the decision to confront it when you learn that Mia may still be alive in Villedor — the last city standing on Earth.
You quickly find yourself in a settlement torn by conflict. You’ll need to engage in creative and gory combat, so hone your skills to defeat hordes of zombies and make allies.

With every sunset, monsters take control of the streets.Open world Action Horror Survival
Resident Evil Code: VeronicaResident Evil Code: Veronica is the fourth video game in Capcom's Resident Evil survival horror series. The game continues the survival horror gameplay of its predecessors: the protagonist explores the surroundings, fighting monsters and solving puzzles. However, it is the first game in the series to do away with pre-rendered backgrounds using a fully polygonal 3D engine instead, which allows for features such as real-time lighting and camera movement. Still, such movements are only used sparingly, and the use of perspective is mostly unchanged from earlier installments: the camera automatically switches to different static angles showing protagonists, monsters and rooms from different spooky viewpoints.Trending Action Horror Survival

Aliens: The Computer GameAliens: The Computer Game is a 1986 video game developed and published by Activision for the Commodore 64, Apple II based on the film of the same title. As Activision's UK subsidiary Electric Dreams Software had independently released their own version of the game with the same title, the game was renamed for European release. Initially planned to be released as Aliens: The Second Part, it was finally published under the title Aliens: US Version with ports for the Amstrad CPC and ZX Spectrum produced by Mr Micro.
Aliens is a series of six minigames strung together via graphical interactive sequences, akin to an adventure game, though the only interaction possible is advancing the dialog, displayed in speech balloons. The minigames are mostly action sequences that involve piloting a ship from Sulaco to the planet's surface, recognizing equipment, and fighting aliens.Action Science fiction

It is based on the film of the same title. Ports for the Commodore 16 and MSX were developed by Mr. Micro and published in 1987.
Aliens: The Computer Game is played from a first-person perspective and is set inside an atmosphere processing plant, a maze complex consisting of 255 rooms.
The player encounters Alien enemies throughout the game. Upon killing an Alien, the body leaves a deadly pool of acid blood that must be avoided. The player also faces the threat of bio-mechanical growth, which, if left uncontained, results in new Alien eggs and facehugger enemies. The player's ultimate goal is to reach the room that houses the Queen Alien and her nests, both of which must be destroyed. The player can directly control a team of Marine soldiers, or can issue orders to the team from the Mobile Tactical Operations Bay (MTOB). When playing from the MTOB, the player has a view of the team's surroundings via video cameras attached to each soldier's helmet.Action Horror Science fiction
