Breed

Breed:
It's German for let's geddit on! |
'Breed' is the first project to be developed utilising the 'Mercury'
engine. Breed is an action based game by German developer Brat Designs.
It's set both in Earth's orbit and on its surface. From the orbiting
USC Darwin the player launches attacks against the Breed, the aggressive
biomechanical race infesting Earth. Once the Darwin is discovered
the Breed will launch waves of attacks to destroy the last of the
USC cruisers.
The
player takes control of 'grunts' who may be flying fighters or dropships,
driving tanks or APC's, manning vehicular turrets or running around
in the dirt, trying to blow away the 'Breed'. Heavily armed dropships
are used to deploy ground forces into Breed controlled territory.
If aboard a suitable vehicle, the player may move freely between
orbit and the planet surface.

Colin
McRae Rally 3
 |
It's
like being there. |
Behind the wheel of your internationally famous Ford Focus RS WRC
with your co-driver Nicky Grist ready to set the course alight as
you race to become Champion. Rain, sleet, snow and mist make all
the difference to your visibility and the car's handling, especially
when every second counts. Test the limits of both your ability and
your car as you hurtle through treacherous terrain and dangerous
weather conditions to shave all-important milliseconds off the clock.
Overall,
Colin McRae Rally 3 is hands down the best rally game on the market.
For maximum pleasure I suggest switching to cockpit view and getting
yourself a racing wheel. Put some headphones on and you're going
to feel like you are actually driving a rally race. Amazing stuff.
