The pre-cursor to the Total War series. I played this gem on DOS. I remember having to use a map to get through DRM of that era. This has everything. Battles on land and sea. Integrating other troops from the different countries. It even had a series of minigames such as fighting animals, racing chariots, and some others. I would love to play this again because my 8 year old self couldn't figure out the naval combat. I need to remedy that failure of mine and add the UK to my complete empire.

Festival of Blood is a standalone expansion in the Infamous series based on the Infamous 2 engine and map but does not require a copy of Infamous 2 in order to play.

The game features new characters, powers and comes with a new comic cutscene creation for the main game Infamous 2 '​s user-generated content, as well as support for the PlayStation Move controller. Unlike previous games, the game does not feature karmic choices on missions due to Cole's vampire state.

Silent Hill 3
Silent Hill 3Silent Hill 3 is the third installment in the Silent Hill series. Like the previous entries, Silent Hill 3 is a survival horror combining action-based combat and puzzle-solving, but is somewhat more combat-oriented than the preceding installments. The main character is able to side-step and block some attacks, but in general shares with the other protagonists of the series their relative ineptitude in combat.
