This would be an insta-buy for me if this ever appeared on GOG and the price was reasonable. Killing enemies with the grenade launcher was so satisfying and the upgrade system itself was fun and interesting, forcing you to explore every inch of the map. I remember buying the original Xbox just to play this and Halo 1 and 2, back in 2005.
Although I´m more a singleplayer type of gamer I even loved the multiplayer demo, yeah right, I even played the demo for hours and oh boy was that fun using the grenade launcher after obtaining an upgrade point with the possibility to let it remotely explode with the press of the mouse button. Also the other weapons like the let u shoot like an electricity ball that dealt out area damage, a when upgraded fast loading shootgun an rocket launcher with a homing in missles similar to that in CoD4 to destroy tanks or like in Ace Combat. But skill won in the end. The vehicles had kind of bad controls like in Halo but were neat on some occasions. You know it is the same guys that really developed Unreal Tournament, namely Digital Extremes when you played that multiplayer. The campaign wasn´t that memorable but ok. If you make the multiplayer playable again with the map editor I never tried then I´d hopp on board. Sadly only the Xbox version had a coop-mode for the campaign.

I miss this game so much! Had one of the coolest and most accessible map creation tools for online and LAN play. Still have my retail copy, but this game really needs GOG's touch for preservation, as it's already a largely unknown title that has disappeared into obscurity. Please bring this game back!

Silent Hill: The Arcade
Silent Hill: The ArcadeSilent Hill: The Arcade is an arcade game based on the Silent Hill series. Being a rail shooter, the game is a large departure from the normal survival horror mechanics. Gameplay is similar to the House of the Dead series in which players use light guns to aim and shoot at enemies. Shooting away from the screen reloads the player's gun. The Arcade has a multiplayer element, a second player can join the game at any time.

Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising
Operation Flashpoint: Dragon RisingOperation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising is a game about a fictitious conflict on one of the Sakhalin islands, a conflict that is in danger of erupting onto a global scale. The player takes the role of a US soldier, part of the allied force fighting against outnumbering Chinese forces vying for control of the island. The game centers on a campaign narrative that gives the player a variety of roles in the allied forces ranging from a Marine Infantry, tank commander, Special Forces and helicopter captain. The game has an incredible realistic depiction of war with careful attention to the detail of the weapons, equipment and tactics of the armed forces. The action is varied from intense fire fights through to slower pace tactical decision making on how to best tackle the mission objectives.

Tomb Raider: 10th Anniversary Edition
Tomb Raider: 10th Anniversary EditionTomb Raider: 10th Anniversary Edition (TRAE) was the last Tomb Raider game developed by Core Design, the original creators of the franchise. In 2003, due to poor sales of Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness, Eidos Interactive took away Tomb Raider franchise from Core Design and assigned Crystal Dynamics to work on the next game in the series (Tomb Raider: Legend). TRAE was developed soon after Tomb Raider: Legend, but was later canned by Eidos in favour of Crystal Dynamics' "Tomb Raider: Anniversary". Nevertheless TRAE is actively being restored by the fans and is playable on PC. It is completely different to Tomb Raider: Anniversary in a sense that it keeps the original levels whilst adding more to them with better level geometry and new moves.
