  • UFO Afterlight
    CENEGA PUBLISHING signs new title for 2007 UFO: Afterlight signed for PC-CD ROM March, 1st , 2006 – Prague, Czech Republic CENEGA PUBLISHING has signed a deal with ALTAR Games , founding member of IDEA Games (Independent Developers Association), for another forthcoming PC-CD ROM title from the UFO series, UFO: Afterlight , due to release in Q1 2007. Following the successful UFO: Aftermath and UFO: Aftershock, UFO: Afterlight will improve the current game type and interface and extend the current storyline of the series. CENEGA PUBLISHING and ALTAR Games are looking forward to bring more hours of quality entertainment to UFO fans and all potential players. As its predecessors, UFO: Afterlight is a mixture of squad based tactical action and global strategy with the gamer controlling the actions of elite ground troops, and the running and construction of an intricate network of interlinking bases while collecting resources. UFO: Afterlight takes us to Mars, where a human colony has been built with the help of the Reticulans not long before the events of UFO: Aftershock took place. Mars base is self- sustainable and provides all the necessities for survival of humans on a foreign planet, mainly breathable air, water, food. Although the people inhabiting this colony have the technologies and knowledge required for their further development, basic survival is their major concern. Their only activity is the research of a nearby excavation site, which proves the existence of an ancient intelligent and highly developed alien civilization. The player will enter the game when the research drastically affects all Mars inhabitants. New and unexpected enemies appear in the form of robots, built centuries ago by the unknown aliens for their protection, whose purpose is to eliminate any traces of other civilizations on Mars.

  • Monitoring Trends in Global Combat: a New Dataset of Battle Deathsz
    European Journal of Population (2005) 21: 145–166 Ó Springer 2005 DOI 10.1007/s10680-005-6851-6 Monitoring Trends in Global Combat: A New Dataset of Battle Deathsz BETHANY LACINA1,2,* and NILS PETTER GLEDITSCH2,3 1Stanford University, Palo Alto, CA, U.S.A.; 2Centre for the Study of Civil War (CSCW), International Peace Research Institute Oslo (PRIO), Hausmanns gate 7, NO-0186 Oslo, Norway; 3Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Trondheim, Norway (*Author for correspondence, e-mail: [email protected]) Received 26 February 2004; accepted in final form 22 June 2004 Lacina, B. and N. P. Gleditsch, 2005, Monitoring Trends in Global Combat: A New Dataset of Battle Deaths, European Journal of Population, 21: 145–166. Abstract. Both academic publications and public media often make inappropriate use of incommensurate conflict statistics, creating misleading impressions about patterns in global warfare. This article clarifies the distinction between combatant deaths, battle deaths, and war deaths. A new dataset of battle deaths in armed conflict is presented for the period 1946–2002. Global battle deaths have been decreasing over most of this period, mainly due to a decline in interstate and internationalised civil armed conflict. It is far more difficult to accurately assess the number of war deaths in conflicts both past and present. But there are compelling reasons to believe that there is a need for increased attention to non-battle causes of mortality, especially displacement and disease in conflict studies. Therefore, it is demographers, public health specialists, and epidemiologists who can best describe the true human cost of many recent armed conflicts and assess the actions necessary to reduce that toll.

  • Intro by the Admin
    The Sierra Chest Newsletter: Issue 2, May 2009 Intro by the admin Dear Sierra fans, Another busy month of construction on the Sierra Chest. Most notably “Gabriel Knight 3: Blood of the Sacred, Blood of the Damned” has been inserted. And while that took far more time than expected, the result is great! More info about that on the next page. We also worked a bit on King’s Quest, and fully inserted “Lost in Time” by Coktel Vision. Some general stuff, such as a load of box arts have been added and it is now also possible to access the fanbased Empire Earth servers through the Chest. Also our friends at UnityHQ, member of the Sierra Gateway and fanbased home of the No One Lives Forever forums and servers, have a small request for you. It is a pleasure to say that, after some 200 uploaded videos on the Sierra Chest’s Youtube channel over the past half a year, we finally nailed an honor! The video “Gabriel Knight 3: Fiction versus Reality” was among the most watched videos in the video gaming category in France on April 26th. It was a small honor, which lasted only a day, but it was an honor nonetheless, so it is gratifying to see things are beginning to fall in the public spotlight. The video combines real locations with Gabriel Knight 3 gameplay and then shifts towards the vampire story during the 2nd half of the video, all guided by music of W. A. Mozart’s Requiem. With the number of subscribers to the Sierra Chest Youtube channel increasing by about 50% over the past month alone, we are confident more fans will find their way to the site and the Sierra Gateway forums (http://www.sierraforums.com).

  • Zeit Für Zombies!
    Zeit für Zombies! Digitales | Games: Killing Floor 2 Längst gehören Zombies zum guten Ton der digitalen Gesellschaft und sind Grundbausteine vieler Spiele. Filme und Serien schildern die lebenden Toten oft als böse, postapokalyptische Ungeheuer, vor denen es selten ein Entrinnen gibt. Gamer greifen stattdessen zur Gegenwehr. Von LINH NGUYEN. Jedes Jahr versuchen sie, beim Zombiespektakel in ›Call of Duty‹ im Kooperationsspiel so viele Beißer wie möglich zu erlegen. Obwohl Zombie-Spiele stetig aus dem Boden sprießen, scheint der Markt noch nicht übersättigt. Das amerikanische Studio Tripwire Interactive wirft nun das Zombie Survival Koop-Spiel ›Killing Floor 2‹ auf den Markt. Bevor ihr das Spiel startet, steht euch eine Reihe von Klassen zur Verfügung, zwischen denen ihr wählen könnt. Dabei besitzt jede Klasse besondere Fertigkeiten, mit denen ihr euch und eure bis zu fünf Mitspieler supporten könnt. Während der Sanitäter schneller heilen kann, übernimmt der Unterstützer die Aufgabe eure Freunde mit Munition für den Kampf ums Überleben zu versorgen. Der Beserker ist Spezialist für Nahkampfwaffen und kann aus kurzer Distanz, vor allem bei Tunneln oder engen Gassen geeignet, den Gegnern fernhalten. Klassenkampf mit Zombies Insgesamt stehen euch 10 Klassen zur Verfügung, die ihr nicht nur in jedem Spiel, sondern bei jeder Angriffswelle wechseln könnt. In Bezug auf Waffen hat jede Klasse seine eigene Vorliebe. Zwar könnt ihr nach jeder Angriffswelle, sofern ihr genug Geld habt, eure Waffe frei wählen, allerdings gibt es die sogenannten Vorteilswaffen, die bei eurer ausgewählten Klasse – wie der Name schon verrät – Vorteile wie besseren Schaden oder erhöhte Nachladegeschwindigkeit verschaffen. Wenn die Unterstützer-Klasse also Waffen für kurze Distanzen, wie etwa Shotguns, bevorzugt, solltet ihr diese Waffe wegen diverser Vorteile auch nehmen.
