Velvet Assassin

Velvet Assassin is a stealth game from Replay Studios published through Southpeak Games set in World War 2. You play a female assassin/spy who performs stealth missions behind enemy lines during the war. The game is very much like Thief and Splinter Cell, with only a special "morphine mode" to distinguish it, allowing you special moves and limited invisibility. Despite not being a big budget game, Velvet Assassin offers rare hardcore stealth gameplay in a unique setting for the genre with nice graphics and good controls.

Far Cry 2

Far Cry 2 is a mission-based, open-ended FPS set in a fictional african country on the verge of civil war. The story is not even remotely connected to the original Far Cry, so this game is more like a Boiling Point fan's dream come true. Who needs Trigens when angry mercs are everywhere ?

Passage

Passage is a freeware game. But perhaps game is the wrong word - there aren't really any objectives to complete. It's more like a five minute metaphor for your unremarkable life, the irreversible process of aging, and your inevitable destiny to die alone, unloved, and forgotten.

Wheelman

Wheelman is an over-the-top open-world driving and shooting game developed by Vin Diesel's development studio, Tigon Studios and published by both Ubisoft and Midway. Diesel himself lends his likeness and voice to the game, which focuses strongly on feeling like an action movie. Gameplay mostly consists of insane driving through Barcelona with no focus at all on realism and instead a concentration of feeling like an action movie filled with stunts and insane chases. If you like crazy fun gameplay more than polish and graphics, Wheelman might be worth a chance purchase.

World in Conflict

Originally, the game was Vert- out of the box. Native Hor+ was added in patch #1 and TripleHead support in patch #3. Patch #10 is required for playing online with owners of Soviet Assault. World in Conflict is a modern-era military RTS focusing on combat, with no base building or resource gathering to worry about. The campaign pits you and the US armed forces against an invading Red Army. The game also features multiplayer maps for up to 16 players. Soviet Assault adds new plot elements to the campaign and six missions from the USSR side.

Rail Simulator

Rail Simulator combines an electric & steam train simmer with a powerful built-in editor you can access at any time during play. Take on scenarios or just explore the routes at will. Steam and electric train controls can be set to three levels of complexity, from Simple to Expert so that everyone can hop in and enjoy the ride.
(Up to patch Mk1, the game is Vert- with very limited resolution choices and 2D stretch)

Burnout Paradise

The first in the Burnout series to be ported to the PC, Burnout Paradise is an arcade driving/racing game. Unlock dozens of cars each featuring a detailed damage model and packing large amounts of "boost". Enter a challenge at every crossroad in Paradise City, from "orienteering" races to stunt contests - or freely roam the streets, train tracks, multiple-storey parking lots and buidings roofs in search of Super Jumps or "smashables" to add to your achievements list. With a host of community tools, modes and leaderboards, the game is also strongly oriented towards online multiplayer.

World of Subways

World of Subways is a standalone train sim series focusing on urban passenger transport (subways, city trains, trams). It features control over radio announcements, first-person free roaming in stations as well as detailed graphics with 3D cab controls, dynamic lights and motion blur. Vol. 1 : The Path models the route between New Jersey and NYC. An add-on has been released that introduces missions besides the basic schedules. Vol. 2 : U7 will take players to Berlin.

F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin

The highly anticipated follow-up of F.E.A.R. will still be a FPS with loads of graphical violence and bullet time in a paranormal atmosphere.
