Swordfish Studios 2009-02-20
genre: Shooter platform: PlayStation 3 / Xbox 360 publisher: THQ
The game revolves around rapper 50 Cent. The co-player's character can be one of three other members of the G-Unit crew: Tony Yayo, Lloyd Banks, or DJ Whoo Kid, each specializing in different combat techniques. The co-player is either run by the game or through online cooperative play. The game is set in an urban warzone in an unnamed Middle Eastern country, where 50 Cent and G-Unit have been hired to play a rap concert. After the concert the promoter, Anwar is unable to pay them the US $10-million in cash he promised, but relents after being threatened. However, instead of the cash they were promised, he gives them a diamond-and-pearl encrusted human skull (bearing a striking resemblance to a platinum cast diamond encrusted skull by artist Damien Hirst) as collateral. This is promptly stolen by a paramilitary group led by the terrorist Kamal. 50 Cent (with the help of a selected G-Unit partner) decides to get it back at any cost and they soon find there is a much bigger enemy than Kamal. In the video game, he kills Kamal, Anwar, his enemies and he retrieves his skull.

1944年,第二次世界大战正在上演。残酷的战争让世界陷入恐怖之中,惨烈的战争让很多无辜者枉死。这些无法进入天国的怨灵带着憎恨结集在恶魔城中。那座曾经无数次给人间带来灾难的城堡。这次的“恶魔城”并非德古拉伯爵的杰作。它由一位画家“布劳内尔”唤出。布劳内尔在二战中失去了两个女儿。为悲伤和仇恨所笼罩的他,出卖了自己的灵魂,做了吸血鬼,发誓要毁灭这个肮脏的世界,向全人类复仇。闻听恶魔城重现世间的埃里克·里卡德毅然前往恶魔城,但一直没有音讯。   此后,他的两个女儿史黛拉·里卡德和罗莱塔·里卡德前往恶魔城调查父亲失踪的真相。她们在恶魔城最深处见到了身负重伤的父亲埃里克和吸血鬼布劳内尔。精神世界一片混乱的布劳内尔,将史黛拉和罗莱塔看作了自己死去的女儿。最后,史黛拉和罗莱塔被布劳内尔交换了血液变成了吸血鬼,做了他的忠实奴仆。   教会调查到了恶魔城的存在。为平息这个混乱时代给人类带来的波动,吸血鬼猎人乔纳森·莫里斯和天才魔法师夏洛特·欧琳走进了被怨念所包围的恶魔城。与其他吸血鬼猎人不同的是,虽然约翰·莫里斯将圣鞭Vampire Killer交给了儿子乔纳森,却从来没有教他如何使用。空负“吸血鬼猎人”之名,却无法发挥圣鞭真正力量的乔纳森,心中始终对父亲心存一份无法解消的怨恨。   他们在恶魔城中见到了亡灵“温德”。温德虽身处恶魔城中,却能创造出不被恶魔城邪恶之力影响的结界。温德告诉了乔纳森和欧琳,恶魔城城主已不再是德古拉,而是吸血鬼布劳内尔。布劳内尔在恶魔城中的一幅幅油画里,创造了数个幻象世界,而这些画正是恶魔城魔力的来源。   在漫长的冒险中,乔纳森和欧琳了解到“温德”实际就是埃里克·里卡德。当他们最终解放了史黛拉和罗莱塔的灵魂时,姐妹二人告诉乔纳森:贝尔蒙特家族之外的任何人使用圣鞭Vampire Killer都要付出削减生命的代价,而里卡德家族,就是唤醒圣鞭真实力量的引子。   乔纳森的父亲约翰·莫里斯的死因看起来是与吸血鬼交战受伤,实际上是因使用了圣鞭的退魔之力。所以,约翰不想让儿子重蹈覆辙,想让乔纳森不依靠圣鞭的力量也能平静地生活下去。深深感到自己的使命和父亲良苦用心的乔纳森,毅然解放了圣鞭的真正力量,向布劳内尔发起了挑战。   布劳内尔最终倒在了圣鞭之下,然而突然出现的死神将布劳内尔劈成两半,并告诉乔纳森和欧琳,布劳内尔的画解放了恶魔城的究极魔力。在死神的召唤下,吸血鬼伯爵德古拉已在恶魔城获得了重生。乔纳森和欧琳冲入了恶魔城的城主之间,消灭了最终与死神融合在一起的德古拉。失去魔力支撑的恶魔城,瞬间变成了一片瓦砾。

Half-Life: Uplink is a demo version of Valve's 1998 first-person shooter computer game Half-Life. Uplink features many of the common enemies, characters, and weapons from the full game, but unlike the first Half-Life demo and the Half-Life 2 demo, the location and scenario in this demonstration do not appear in Half-Life. The Uplink chapters were cut during Half-Life's development phase and roughly fit in prior to or during the Lambda Core chapter; they were, however, strongly revised for the demo release. Uplink also includes the same Hazard Course from the full release of Half-Life. It was also included on "Official PlayStation Magazine Disc 57" as a bonus unlock if you entered a cheat into the PS2 version of Half-Life and swapped the discs.

在前作一年之后,世界各地不甘心失败的吸血鬼侍从们仍然在策划新的阴谋。德古拉的部下西丽亚预谋让苍真体内的德古拉之魂苏醒,而两名魔王的候选人迪米特里和塔里奥则准备争夺魔王的位置,所以他们准备刺杀苍真。   苍真自然不会坐以待毙。他决定去找西丽亚算帐,不料又中了圈套,发现自己似乎回到了去年的恶魔城中。实际上,这只是恶魔城的翻版而已。苍真面对的,是一群德古拉信徒的挑战,以及自己灵魂转化成德古拉的危险。作为历代恶魔城主角中能力最强的人(因为苍真本身就是德古拉转世,只不过换了一个纯净的灵魂而已)苍真可以将被他打败的怪物的能力吸收并且自己使用。   在最后,有角幻也帮助苍真识破了西丽亚杀死“弥娜”的骗局,使他摆脱了德古拉的控制。这个阴魂不散的吸血鬼没有来得及使自己彻底复活,就又一次被夙敌们送下了地狱。到此为止,恶魔城的故事就暂时告一段落。

A new triad gang called the Golden Kane is gaining strength in Hong Kong and starts to openly threaten the Dragon Claw with it's leader James Wong, the oldest and most powerful clan. His daughter Billie Wong once had a relationship with a cop and got pregnant with Teko. One day both get kidnapped by the Zakarov Syndicate. The name of the cop who got Billie pregnant is Inspector Tequila. He is a veteran Hong Kong cop who doesn't really work by the book but has his heart in the right place. When a cop gets kidnapped (and killed) by the Golden Kane, Tequila starts investigating, against the orders of Captain Ed Lee. You take on the role of Tequila and not only get the copkillers but also unwillingly help the Dragon Claw because of Billie and her daughter. But the task isn't an easy one since hundreds of enemies stand between him and his goal which mostly end in killing a boss or blowing stuff up. To deal with all those bad guys Tequila has not only his fists and his trusty Enforcer (dual wield pistols) but also gets access to machine guns, shotguns, grenades and rocket launchers. But this won't be enough either. To give Tequila the ultimate advantage he also has access to Tequila Time and Tequila Bomb. Tequila Time is like the Bullet Time in Max Payne. It slows down time and allows Tequila to better react to the situation. You can either activate it manually or it gets activated automatically if you perform a jump or interact with your environment. You can slide over tables, roll around on carts, run up stairrails and kick over tables to use as cover. The Tequila Bomb are super moves like a Health Boost or a Spin Attack (white doves included). To fill up your Tequila Bomb Gauge, you either need to find hidden Origami Cranes or earn Style Points. You gain Style Points if you kill your enemies during a Tequila Time move or by using your surroundings. If you are fast enough you gain Style Combos which not only fill up your Tequila Bomb Gauge faster but also multiply your Style Points. These Style Points can then be used to unlock all sorts of concept art from the main menu. Since John Woo greatly influenced the development, you also take part in Mexican Standoffs. In these you are surrounded by some enemies and Tequila takes them on one by one but he can only lean to left and right to dodge the incoming bullets. The game also features an online multiplayer mode with statistics. The two available game modes are Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch for up to 6 players.
