Age of Mythology
Platform PC Genre Stategy Styles Real-Time Strategy Developer Ensemble Studios Publisher Microsoft Game Studios Release Date October 31, 2002 Controls Keyboard /Mouse
Rating: 4/5Age of mythology is ensemble_studios greatest vvork so far, & this is coming_from 6+ years of playing Age of Empires games. As u can probably_tell I highly recommend AOM to any RTS fan, along vvith the average gamer. AOM has 3 civilizations (Greek, Egyptian & Norse) all three totally unique from_the other, to add upon_that, each civilization_has 3 god’s to pick from at the_beginning of each game. Each god vvill grant you special god powers along with technologies and mythic units. The dovvnside is, having_all of these options_leads to a certain god to be_overpowered and vvill dominate the_other gods. Ensemble studios has novv pretty much have_each god to be equal_to each other, yet it vvas a very bumpy_start for Age of Mythology.

Freedom Force vs. the Third Reich
PC game / True believers team up to defeat freedom's all-time greatest enemies, in this real-time tactics sequel from Irrational Games.

Fans of the original Freedom Force will reunite with favorite heroes, such as Minuteman, El Diablo, and Mentor, who become embroiled in one of Nuclear Winter's nefarious schemes and are whisked back to Europe at the height of the war. Here, they must join with new Golden Age allies like the rocket-powered Sky King, the gadget master Black Jack, and the beautiful, swordstress Tricolour, to defeat a conspiracy of evil that transcends time itself. more...>

Mafia
PC game / Mafia takes place in the fictional 1930s city of Lost Heaven. The player takes the role of a relatively innocent cabdriver who becomes involved in the underworld of organized crime through a random accident. While between fares one night, the hero is suddenly approached by two shady characters in urgent need of a ride. Fearing a quick shot to the head if he refuses, he accepts the passengers and, thanks to his excellent driving abilities, is able to help them escape the rival gang members that had been chasing them. Quick thinking and good driving skills save the day for the thankful mobsters, who make it a point to remember the main character. When he finds himself out of work a short while later, the hero is graciously welcomed to "the Family."The third-person adventure in Mafia has the player moving about a 12-square-mile city, designed from authentic photographs and architectural plans from the 1930s. The player will have almost complete freedom to move about the city, exploring and interacting as he sees fit. Each building is unique, providing a sense of location and allowing the players to learn landmarks as they travel through Lost Heaven. A wide variety of missions will have the protagonist racing cars, investigating seedy hangouts, and even executing hits (if his conscience will allow it). Mafia is designed to envelop players in the look and feel of the classic gangster movies that were its inspiration. download megashares megaupload rapidshare sendspace torrent
