- strange and unusual power - he can change into his delectable female double, the
- devilish Deva, a leather clad devil with supernatural powers.
-
- On the evening of Halloween, Dave enters into a haunted house where heinous
- crimes have been committed. He will have to fight against the living dead that

- begins the live coverage, following Dave and Deva's every move, in front of a
- studio audience that is increasingly eager to see the macabre. This evening will
- be the highest rating the show has seen... but at what cost? Devil Inside... to

-
- Tachyon: The Fringe is an intense space-combat adventure of colonizing the vast
- regions of territory on the fringes of space.
-
- The Sol Government has declared that it does not officially recognize the Bora
- colony's claim on several sectors of fringe space. Bora colonists left the solar
- system over one hundred years ago to create an independent settlement. In an act
- of defiance to the government at the time, it did not obtain a proper charter
- for far space colonization. Recently, several legitimate corporations have
- expressed interest in obtaining claim rights to various sectors of fringe space,
- including those inhabited by Bora. Representatives from Bora responded by asking
- the Sol government to officially grant its claim. After several months of
- deliberations, the Sol government decided to refuse Bora's legitimacy, leading
- to a rush for colonization in the newly opened edges of space.
-
- Tachyon features a free form mission structure, furious space fighter warfare,
- innovative new weapons, and the most incredible large-scale objects ever seen in
- a space game. You play one of the best mercenary space-pilots in the Sol system,
- Jake Logan, featuring Bruce Campbell as the voice of your character. Tachyon
- features a two-sided storyline that allows you to join as either a part of
- GalSpan Mega-Corporation or one of the Bora Rebel Settlers.

- Russian nationalism is back with a vengeance. From the ashes of economic despair
- the Old Russian Bear creeps back into the heart of the former Soviet territories
- faster than a heat-seeking missile. Eastern Europe has become the flashpoint for
- WWIII. Russian forces amassed on one side, NATO on the other. You're about to
- deploy the most devastating weapon in the inventory of war: the helicopter
- gunship. You must blend finesse, raw power, stealth, and speed in a high-wire
- balancing act of exact proportions. In 21st century war, the fate of the world
- can turn on one micro-engagement in the epicenter of the action. Fly low and
- strike deep!
-
- Taste the action from both sides in the U.S., British, German, and Russian
- gunships. Fly the AH-64D Apache, Westland Apache, Eurocopter Tiger and Mil-28
- Havoc. Rolling terrain provides for intense low altitude action: take cover
- behind trees, hills and ridges. Mobilize in two hard-hitting modes:
- Instant-Action Target-Rich onslaught or Active World Campaign System overrun
- with military ground units. Stunning graphics generate unlimited battles and
- monstrous multi-player missions. Gunship! gives you all the white-knuckle crises
- of combat deployment that can only be found in WWIII.

- Limitations in downloadable version:

- You can fly an action mission or the Men of Harlech simulation mission.

- The most recent addition to the Lemmings lineage, Lemmings Revolution brings the
- challenge of a simple but elegant 3-dimensional environment to the addictive
- strategy & puzzle game of rescuing the Lemmings from certain doom. Lemmings, if
- you don't know by now, are cute and adorable creatures that lack any sense of
- self-protection. They'll gladly bump into walls and walk off cliffs if you don't
- stop them, so you need to protect them from themselves and guide them gently
- towards a waiting hot air balloon.

- Ground Control is a real-time action and strategy game concerning two political
- factions which have gone to war over a distant world.
-
- By combining strategic combat with fast-paced 3D action elements, Ground Control
- delivers a fresh experience that appeals to a wide audience, including online
- gaming enthusiasts. At its core, Ground Control is a frenetically-paced,
- real-time simulator played out in a visually stunning 3D world. During the
- course of the game, you will be challenged in an intense arena of battle,
- managing tactical squads of foot soldiers, mobile units, aircraft, and support
- units as they vie for control of a distant planet.
-
- Command your squads in a variety of formations, across rugged terrain, and to
- victory in several different mission objectives. Ground Control eliminates many
- of the tedious aspects of typical games and focuses its gameplay on tactics,
- strategy, and the art of battle. There are numerous types of tanks, hover bikes,
- airplanes, and soldiers that will be at your disposal. Once you are in battle
- you won't be able to bring in reinforcements, so proper troop selection will be
- key to success. Each unit type has special weapons, abilities, and armor that
- you can custom fit to each unit. Or let the game auto-select the proper load for
- each mission. Advanced artificial intelligence makes your troops and your
- enemy's troops act and fight realistically, meanwhile, a free-floating camera
- allows you to zoom in and out and view the action from any angle.
-
- Limitations in downloadable version: You can play limited missions.
