Sci-Fi

Sci-Fi themed games are games that are characteristic of science fiction literature; the narrative is dependent on the impact of scientific discoveries that do not yet exist in reality. Some games, such as those in the Half-Life series and Unreal series take place in a sci-fi universe that was created specifically for the purpose of the games. Others may take place in existing sci-fi universes, such as licensed Star Wars games. Common elements of sci-fi themed games include futuristic settings, high-tech items and weapons, and alien characters.

Submitted by Anonymous on 4 February, 2010 - 02:54

Avatar: The Game is a third-person shooter set a couple years before the movie on the same lush planet. As an RDA soldier, you'll first assist the colonial army but may eventually switch sides and "become" a tall tree-hugging Na'vi warrior. Mission objectives and "scanned" creatures will earn you experience points, and levelling up will upgrade the arsenal of weapons and techno/magical superpowers at your disposal.
Avatar supports both DX9 & DX10 and is compatible with a host of stereoscopic 3D display modes.

Sequel to Mass Effect. Carries on the adventures of Commander Shepard and his crew. One interesting aspect is that you can import save games from the original game, where decisions will impact the people and story in the sequel.
