Sci-Fi

Sci-Fi themed games are games that are characteristic of science fiction literature; the narrative is dependent on the impact of scientific discoveries that do not yet exist in reality. Some games, such as those in the Half-Life series and Unreal series take place in a sci-fi universe that was created specifically for the purpose of the games. Others may take place in existing sci-fi universes, such as licensed Star Wars games. Common elements of sci-fi themed games include futuristic settings, high-tech items and weapons, and alien characters.

Terminator 3: War of the Machines

Terminator 3: War of the Machines is a team-oriented multiplayer FPS from Clever's Games and Atari. It is based on the Terminator 3 universe (having loved The Terminator and hated T2, I haven't seen T3 and can't comment on whether the game follows the movie or not). It takes place in the year 2029, where the machines are attempting to take over the world, and the humans are trying to stop them. You play as a grunt on either side in one of the many battles that occur. Gameplay closely resembles Battlefield 1942.
