Thief was quite ahead of its time by being a stealth based FPS along with its beautiful graphics as well as brilliant cutscenes. I just love the mood the game creates, especially with the catacombs you go into that are crawling with zombies and evil spirits that don't like anyone going down into the tombs to loot the treasure.
While No Regret isn't that unlike the first game, it still is one hell of a great action game with almost non-stop shooting coupled with explosives being thrown and fired at unlucky WEC guards and whatnot. However, one change they made to the game was that you no longer have a limited inventory, but rather can carry all the guns you find like in most FPS games of the 1990's. Its also still got those cheesy FMV sequences like the first one and we get to see Everett "Woody" Skaggs as WEC chairman Nathaniel Draygan once again as he continues with the WEC's attempts at absolute control over the population while also taking out the Silencer Captain. The controls are still the same like in the first game, so you'll be blasting guards and robots away in no time. And as usual, its still got an absolutely awesome soundtrack done by Andrew Saga and Dan Grandpre that'll have your adrenaline flowing all throughout the firefights. A must have for those who enjoyed the first game despite its clunky controls and sometimes unfair jumping sections.
Back in 2001 when ArmA: Cold War Assault or Operation Flashpoint as it was known, was released, it was considered one of the most realistic depictions of being a foot soldier in a war. With its main storyline being set during the Cold War, when tensions were high between the USA and the Soviet Union, following a group of soldiers that find themselves stuck in the middle of an invasion on the island of Nogovo by the Soviet Union. You play as one of the soldiers and your main objective is to push the Soviet Union army off of the island while keeping the civilians safe. And there is also an expansion pack that follows a civilian who becomes part of a resistance group that struggle against the well trained and armed Soviet Union. If you're thinking you can go and play this game like Call of Duty or any other game, then you're mistaken. You can't just rush into enemy fire and expect your health to regenerate, your only way of recovering health is by calling for the medic that is with you, provided he haven't been killed during combat. Also if you get hit in the arms or legs, you suffer penalties like reduced movement speed and having a hard time aiming any of the weapons.
