This game holds a special place in my heart. It may not be the best Splinter Cell in terms of gameplay and it has for sure many technical flaws and some questionable game design elements, due to the release of the game being rushed, but I love it.
And first of all I really loved the double agent concept and the different main choices having impactful consequences on some of the characters and on the story, that brought a great extra layer of tension to the traditional, great and unique Splinter Cell gameplay. I honestly rarely felt so much tension in a game and it's unique to Double Agent in the series, and even in the entire stealth genre. I think that's what made me love this game so much. Besides I consider its soundtrack and story as the best ones in the entire series, and the Shanghai mission is part of my top 5 favorite missions of the whole franchise.
And even if this game lacks polish and was released too early, it was still innovative gameplay-wise and introduced some new interesting features and gadgets like the ability to swim, takedowns from a corner, the inverted rappel through the winch, the glass cutter, the ultrasonic emitter, the safe-cracking minigame, the ability to hide under a truck or a desk,... If the devs had the opportunity to properly implement these mechanics and features, I'm sure this would have been the ultimate Splinter Cell game !
I've always dreamed of Ubisoft finally patching this game and fixing it once and for all because this game gets so much ignorance, rejection and bad reviews because of its poor optimization. Sadly I know they'll never do this, so hopefully we can have it on GOG with the patches, the fixes and the widescreen resolutions included.
One case of devs making different games with the same name. For the sake of closure and preservation, "Version 2" as its called must come to PC... And I suppose a fixed version of the flagship version would be nice.
Heavy Gear IIAs the leader of the special ops group Dark Talons, lead your squad mates on a series of dangerous missions as you discover the NEC plot against your homeland, Terra Nova. Operate behind enemy lines as you gather data, attack enemy camps, capture enemy leaders, take over space stations, and more. Combat happens on land, underground (huge caverns), and even in space. There are plenty of weapons to outfit your gear, even some hand-to-hand weapons. You can also add perks and flaws to further customize your gear. Stealth is a major concern in some missions. The game play feel is very different from the Mechwarrior series.
Set in Dream Pod 9's Heavy Gear universe (it actually rivals the Battletech universe in complexity, though not nearly as famous), this game requires 3D accelerator with its "Dark" 3D engine. The gears are capable of very human-like movements, such as kneeling, crawling, and jumping.Action Science fiction

Gain-greedy gunmen would go to any length to have their way, including the murder of civilians and direct confrontation with the two private military companies.
The players will have to experience living in the skin of one of the mercenaries who survived the initial stage of the Tarkov conflict. After choosing one of the sides – USEC or BEAR – the player’s character starts to make his way out of the city.

Knight Rider 2: The GameIn the sequel to Knight Rider: The Game, Michael and KITT are targeted by a missile attack while driving back to the foundation. They barely survive and set up a meeting with the base. On their way home however, they notice unusual black marks in demolished villages, and decide to investigate.
All missions have the player control KITT, who has now been equipped with three weapons: a lock-on laser, a plasma gun, and missiles. There is also turbo boost to jump over obstacles, micro jam to scan items and recharge, the ski mode to drive on two wheels through narrow passages, super pursuit mode for faster speed, and a shield to block incoming attacks. When damaged or running low on energy, certain functions are disabled.
The different missions are linked by sequences where the story is further explained using the in-game engine. Many familiar characters from the tv series make an appearance, such as Bonnie, Devon, Garth and KARR. Missions either focus on racing or exploration. In the first type, the player mainly evades attacks while racing on a highway. The latter has the player drive inside closed areas, maneuvering through passages and fighting robots. There are also a few puzzle elements where the player has to locate terminals, shoot an object in the environment, or find enemies' weaknesses. When a stunt is performed, the action slows down and the camera switches to a spectacular angle.
Next to the main story mode, the individual missions can be replayed in the mission mode. The player can also unlock TV scenes, view background information about the series, or do a quiz.Action Science fiction
