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.

Resident Evil: Dead AimResident Evil: Dead Aim is a survival-horror game released exclusively for the PlayStation 2 under the Gun Survivor title, which was used for several games made for the Namco light gun controllers. The game is played in two camera angles: the player moves from a third-person perspective while walking, which changes to a first-person perspective while aiming the gun. 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

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
