Aliens Versus Predator Extinction
Game Overview
Aliens Versus Predator: Extinction is a real-time strategy game with a focus on unit management over base-building and resource gathering. Each species has a single resource that is used to summon or upgrade units, and methods of unit generation differ radically. Players must move through specific objectives in order to advance a level, ranging from killing certain enemies or performing tasks like repairing an object. Starting conditions are often dependent on story developments. Each species has a population cap that varies by level. The population cost of units varies drastically between species. Human units, appearing in the game as the US Colonial Marines, gain credits by killing enemies and repairing atmospheric processors. These credits can be spent on upgrading existing units or calling in new ones via dropship, which drop units off at specific landing beacons. Marine units are entirely medium to long range fighters and have support units to perform specific actions that aren't available to humans like other species such as healing. Predator units can only gain resources by killing opponents, which is granted via an "honour" system.[7] As the units gain honour, more units can be summoned via drop pods. Predators can self-heal and cloak themselves, but deplete energy reserves when doing so. There is only one Predator support unit, which improves the rate of energy regeneration.

Blade 2
Game Overview
Blade II is an action beat them up game played from a third-person perspective, with the player controlling Blade's movement via the left analogue stick. The game primarily focuses on melee combat, although it does allow the use of firearms. Combat is controlled via the right analogue stick, allowing for what the developers call a "360° combat system" – the player moves the stick in the direction in which they want to attack and Blade punches or kicks in that direction. The player has no control over what kind of attack Blade executes, only the direction in which he attacks. Blade can also block, chain attacks together into combos and perform "finishing moves", such as grabbing an enemy in a headlock and driving a stake into their head. A major feature of the game is Rage mode. Fighting slowly and methodically charges up Blade's Rage meter through three levels: "Sword", "Shield" and "Strength". If the player activates Rage mode on the first level, Blade will take out his sword and use it for a limited amount of time. If activated on the second level, Blade uses his sword and becomes invincible. If activated on the third level, Blade uses his sword, becomes invincible and increases in strength. At the start of the game Blade is equipped with only a "mach pistol", but as the player advances they can unlock other weapons and accessories; a shotgun, a glaive, stronger body armour, silver knuckles, UV grenades, and serum to increase Blade's health regeneration.
Blinx 2 Masters of Time and Space
Game Overview
In Blinx 2, the player switches between playing as the Time Sweepers and the Tom Toms. Much of the core gameplay is retained from the first game for the Time Sweepers, with each Time Sweeper equipped with a vacuum that can collect debris, time crystals, and gold crystals.[1] When shooting debris, the player can now lock onto enemies, a feature planned for the original game. The player no longer needs to collect the crystals in any order to receive a time control, but rather just collect three of a particular crystal. Some of these controls can also be combined, allowing the player to use certain effects with each other, such as speeding themselves up with the fast forward while slowing the world down at the same time. Each Time Sweeper level has multiple missions that the player can choose to do, although only one needs to be completed in order to progress. Meanwhile, the Tom Toms control much like a stealth game, with the player aiming to avoid Time Sweepers to collect loot at a location, and then return it to their initial location without being caught. In this mode, the player has several gadgets at their arsenal to control space, distract the Time Sweepers and to assist with their passage through the level, such as decoys and wormholes. They also have guns, which can be used to take out Time Sweepers at risk of attracting attention to themselves.
Blinx The Time Sweeper
Game Overview
Blinx The Time Sweeper is an action platformer, with the player controlling the titular character of Blinx. The player is initially equipped with the TS 1000 Vacuum Cleaner, which is able to sweep up parts of the environment (referred to in game as trash), gold crystals, cat medals, and time crystals; they are also able to shoot out collected trash. The player is able to purchase better vacuums with their collected gold in order to sweep larger objects. By collecting at least three of the same time crystals in their inventory, the player gains one time control related to the crystals collected, receiving two if four of the same are collected instead. The player is also able to receive up to three retries by collecting red hearts in the same manner. Using time controls, the player is able to affect the level in one of five ways: reversing time (REW), speeding up time (FF), slowing down time (SLOW), pausing time (PAUSE), and recording their movements for a period of time to create a clone of themselves (REC); the time controls do not affect the player, allowing them to manoeuvre through the stage as the control is being used. If the player is defeated and has a retry, a process similar to the REW time control occurs, although the player is also reversed to a prior state before they were defeated. Each stage must be completed within a 10 minute timer by defeating all enemies in a stage and entering the goal gate.

Call Of Cthulhu Dark Corners Of The Earth
Game Overview
It's time for you to draw upon your skills in exploration, investigation, and combat as you battle the evil incarnate. Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth combines both action and adventure elements into a first person horror experience. You'll combat enemies using the environment, powerful and evil artifacts, Alien technology, and authentic 1920s weaponry. Cthulhu enemies can roam freely around the environment opening doors and tracking you down single handily or in groups. A detailed damage and healing system breaks down the healing process into conditions and treatments. The game features no heads-up display. Instead, condition of the player character is relayed through the sound cues of his heartbeat and breathing, which become more pronounced when wounded, and colour draining from the screen with loss of blood and strength. Specific injuries are also indicated visually and aurally: for example, a broken leg causes the character to limp while making appropriate noises, while a broken arm makes aiming more difficult. The health system was designed as a more realistic take on character injury than other games of its genre in that different wounds, including poisoning and bleeding, require different remedies, such as a splint for a broken leg. The inventory screen shows the character's injuries displayed on his character model and all carried items.
