Prey, Desktop Computer

Tommy is a simple garage mechanic on his home reservation. He dreams of bigger things, like venturing out into the bigger, wider world, away from his family and his roots. But his girlfriend Jen wants to stay - to build her life there. She runs the reservation's Roadhouse, a popular meeting place/hub/watering hole for the locals. Jen loves her home and work, and can't understand why Tommy would want to leave. Talking of leaving... Prey's story begins in the men's room at the Roadhouse. Suddenly, there's an eerie light bathing the whole building and the roof is being torn away. The strange lights in the sky were what folks most feared - unidentified flying objects - and as the roof came away from the Roadhouse, the giant craft beamed everyone aboard. From this point on, things get seriously weird, as Prey begins to toy with your mind. The ship that Tommy has been beamed aboard is a living breathing entity, reacting to what goes on within and around it. Prey is no ordinary FPS in that it raises the expectations of the genre and then subjects it to some extraordinary gameplay features, such as wall-walking, gravity manipulation, spirit-walking and an aggressive environment fraught with danger. Throughout Prey, Tommy interacts with three different environments: the physical world of humans and alien; the co-existing spirit world of aliens and humans that contains hidden features that Tommy can use to his advantage; and the death world, where Tommy must fight wraiths to return to the physical world: normality, if that's what it really is. Prey has been in the pipeline for a long, long time, and originally solely as a PC project. The wait has been worth it, and Prey is certainly worth every minute invested by the developer, and every penny spent by the punter to get a hold of this mind-warping game that packs not only an emotional punch, but the visceral type too.

Unreal Tournament 2004
Despite being extremely well received and generally proving popular within the FPS gaming community, it was always considered that UT2003 didn't quite introduce as many new gameplay features as people had originally hoped. Granted, the tried and tested formula - still considered by many loyalists to be unmatched with regards to its exhilarating multiplayer action - was still intact and as good as ...
Doom III
With its 1993 debut, iD Software's Doom quickly became a classic - a legend even. And though relatively straightforward in comparison to what is on offer today, Doom's simple puzzles and first-person action were second to none, and the same is true of Doom II, Final Doom and any other family members of the iD franchise. But perhaps what is more surprising is that this also applies to Doom III - a ...
Star Trek Action Pack
Now you can't complain at four for one, can you? Well that's exactly what this is. Four complete Star Trek titles, all for the price of one. Bargain. Featuring - wait for it - Star Trek Armada, Star Trek Armada II, Star Trek: Voyager Elite Force, and, last but not least, Star Trek: Voyager Elite Force Expansion Pack, the combo looks likely to have its players fluent in Klingon by the time they get...
Final Fantasy VIII
Like its predecessor, FFVII, Final Fantasy VIII is, at the time of release, the biggest game the world has ever seen, spanning across four CD's. The beautifully rendered introductions scenes form the perfect start to a vast and involving RPG. With so many variables and sub-plots, it is unlikely that one will ever play it all, even if they do reach the end. If Square continue to progress at this ra...
Midnight Club II
Devoted to illegal street racing, Midnight Club II for PS2 was a big seller, thanks to a little controversy and some good gameplay. The Xbox version followed just six weeks later, and now, just one week after that, the PC version is ready. Whip out those Sidewinders and steering wheels - you're gonna need them. The concept for the PC version remains intact here. You race, playing as one of 22 char...
