Dark Sector is a prime example of great execution elevating a tired premise. A cursory look at the plot: Special Forces Guy vs. Mutants might lead the average gamer to think they've played it before, and they probably have—it just wasn't this great before.
Game Description: Dark Sector is a third-person Action/Shooter that thrusts players into a sci-fi flavored nightmare scenario set in the post Cold War era. Playing in the role of Hayden Tenno, an unscrupulous covert operative sent on an assassination mission into Lasria – a fictional Eastern European city on the brink of ruin and rumored to be contaminated by a mysterious and frightening plague, Hayden takes out his mark, but before he can escape is attacked by an unknown enemy. Not killed outright as expected, he is instead infected with the virus that is causing the plague.
Since it was created by the same developers who created the venerable Unreal Tournament series, Pariah showed a lot of promise. But it ultimately proves that what sounds good on paper doesn't always pan out in the execution.
Game Description:Pariah takes you into a deep, dark future as a burned-out military specialist. When your transport ship is shot down, you and your infected patient are stranded deep within the prison sectors of a wasteland called "Earth". Hunted by the most vicious killing machines known, severely outnumbered—with nowhere to turn and no one to trust—you'll do whatever it takes to survive.
Game Description: Built by Digital Extremes, part of the team responsible for Unreal and Unreal Tournament, Unreal Championship is introducing groundbreaking multiplayer gameplay to the Xbox video game system from Microsoft. The latest addition to the Unreal universe will immerse console gamers in the adrenaline packed first-person frag-fest that has revolutionized PC gaming.
