This is for the benefit of newcomers to the modding scene to give them some insight into the BF2 editor and its features for changing gameplay objects and using the new single player tools. I will be showing you how to use the current navmesh area to set up your own custom playing areas and objects. This tutorial will focus on using the stock battlefield 2 map, “Songhua Stalemate.” I’m currently navmeshing this map, so thought I would kill two birds with one stone :)

Enter the Matrix is just another example of a movie franchise that had to have a game sequel. Unfortunately, it was slated to appear in the same time with the movie in question, having the producers rush the development and finally releasing a somewhat unfinished game on the market (and if you were to ask me, a bad looking one at that). The game doesn’t follow the adventures of Neo as we might have expected, but in terms, it follows the story of a small character, at least in the movie and it’s used as a pretext for filling some of the gaps in the original script.

Need For Speed: Porsche Unleashed (or 2000 in some regions) is the black sheep of the NFS franchise but not in a bad way. For many fans, this was the best game released due to the unusual amount of physics involved in what was supposed to be an arcade game. There were some critics expressed toward the Porsche exclusivity feature but they’ve calm down over the years. Almost seven years later, it’s still the reference point for any NFS games released since then.

It would have been so unfortunate for you to really retire. I’m glad that your quality skills don’t need to wear off by giving up on what you do best – kill people. There’s always a time to take the shot and a time to hide and wait. I’m sure you’ll do just marvelously (I am aware of your past experience). Pursuing the organization that put you out of… retirement will surely prove to be quite an adventure and I’m sure you will take on a few contracts just so you can pay for all that artillery you plan on using on the poor guys. Just as always, do your best to remain anonymous or this journey will end much faster than you planned.

The third title in the Hitman series brings Agent 47 back in action. Memories of his past contracts haunt the sedated mind of the hitman and open up paths for new exciting and at the same time dangerous contracts. The dark portrayed targets with psychopathic behaviors create the illusion that 47 is actually a hero of humanity and by his actions, tons of sufferings have been prevented. This is an addition to the series that not only engages new comers in a most captivating quest to finish off the crime syndicate and take out the most important figure, crime lord Lee Hong. The game also brings back memories of the two other titles in the series Hitman: Codename 47 and Hitman 2: Silent Assassin. It almost makes you want to replay those as well.

A classic RPG for our hearts Sacred is one of the few hack and slash games that managed to free themselves from the huge shadow of Diablo. With a similar gameplay and an open world, it managed to provide a solid experience that would be remembered and even compared with its archrival. The story wasn’t all that good and it was plagued by bugs even with a lot of patches released afterwards but even so, the Sacred franchise is still very much alive and kicking. Start the game with the /cheats=1 command line parameter. Start a single-player game and press ~ during game play to display the console window. Enter sys cheats 963 to enable cheat mode.
