Brings what grabs you about Abuse: a sci-fi setting, good gunplay and a dark atmosphere.

The Source engine version of the shooter classic: as scientist Gordon Freeman you fight through aliens and soldiers after an experiment goes wrong at Black Mesa. Updated lighting, water and physics refresh the look, but it remains the tightly scripted, linear original.

Alien Carnage

Jumping and platforming

A classic DOS side-scrolling platform shooter where a jetpack-equipped hero blasts hordes of aliens and zombies through run-and-gun levels while rescuing hostages. The tone is campy and tongue-in-cheek.

Alien Trilogy

Dread and tension

A grim 1996 first-person shooter that recreates the Alien films across 30 levels, as you blast through corridors full of facehuggers, xenomorphs and Queens with a range of weapons. The claustrophobic atmosphere and motion tracker build constant tension.

Doom 64

Dread and tension

A classic first-person shooter where you blast through 30+ grim levels of demons, hunt secrets and track down the Mother of Demons. The remaster of the N64 original delivers retro pacing, key-hunting level design and an eerie atmosphere.

Half-Life

Action-packed real-time combat

The landmark shooter sends physicist Gordon Freeman through the alien- and soldier-infested Black Mesa facility, telling its story seamlessly without cutscenes while mixing tense firefights with environmental and physics puzzles.

Black Mesa

Action-packed real-time combat

A loving fan-made remake of the original Half-Life: as Gordon Freeman you fight through the disaster at the Black Mesa research facility, with rebuilt levels, new voice acting and music. Classic first-person shooter action with alien fights, physics puzzles and the extended Xen finale.

Doom

Dread and tension

You fight through hordes of demons on a Mars base and into Hell as a lone marine, moving at breakneck speed. Its fast weapons, hidden passages and grim atmosphere define the classic feel that this Xbox port carries over unchanged.

The Lost World: Jurassic Park

Jumping and platforming

A film tie-in action game where you play as different characters, including a raptor and a T-Rex, fighting and evading dinosaurs through jungle levels with a mix of shooting and platforming.

Doom

Action-packed real-time combat

You blast through hordes of demons on Mars and in Hell in this faithful, modernized port of the 1993 original. Fast movement, a brutal arsenal and secret-filled maps reward aggressive, skillful play.

Blackthorne

Jumping and platforming

A grim cinematic platformer in the vein of Prince of Persia: as Kyle Blackthorne you climb, take cover and shotgun your way through mines and fortresses on the planet Tuul. Precise timing, cover-based gunfights and light puzzles define its unforgiving pace.
