Got this on the 360 when it was released, remember reading so much about the fire psychics and thinking how awesome it was that the fires spread so impressively and that wooden doors and similar things crumbled broke. The story was confusing, but I found it interesting how the like movie cut "previously this happened thing" was implemented, I had not seen a game do that before
Love this game. It's janky, yes, but very special and it's a shame there's not a PC version that both runs well on modern PCs and has all the content of the PS3 Inferno release. Correction to the description though, it's a sequel to AITD1-3, not a reboot. The OG timeline is: Alone in the Dark 2, Alone in the Dark (1992), Alone in the Dark 3, Shadow of the Comet, Prisoner of Ice, Alone in the Dark (2008) and finally Alone in the Dark: Illumination. It was Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare and later Alone in the Dark (2024) that were attempts at reboots.
I'd just like to mention there's a separate entry in GOG's Dreamlist for the definitive version of the game released only for PS3, Alone in the Dark: INFERNO, which fixed the most egregious bugs of the original and added extra content, including a new inventory system. Wouldn't it be cool to bring that one back? Because the version of the game this entry requests on GOG is already available on Steam, but to play INFERNO legally you'd have to buy an old PS3 and chase an old physical copy of AITD:I.

Prince of Persia: Arabian NightsPrince of Persia: Arabian Nights is the Dreamcast port of Prince of Persia 3D. It was developed by Avalanche Software and published by Mattel Interactive in North America a year after the original was released. There are several notable differences between the two versions, the most immediately noticeable one is the movement of prince being much faster in the port. The port also does not have the quicksave/quickload feature unlike the original, and there some level layouts changes ranging from slight modifications to entire levels being just removed.Action

FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival.
Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed.
The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo.
As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity.
Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.Our Pick Top Trending Science fiction Sandbox
