Die Hard: Nakatomi Plaza combines the exciting elements of the original blockbuster movie with a pulse-pounding adventure game set in an interactive 3D environment. This single-player game features an event-driven storyline that follows John McClain in his life and death struggle to overcome a group of greedy terrorists, and in the process, save his wife, the other hostages, and hopefully himself. Staying true to the original story, the entire game takes place in the 40-story Nakatomi Plaza office building on Christmas Eve, with our hero "accidentally" called upon to thwart a large-scale burglary attempt by a band of trigger-happy terrorists. By the end of the night, only McClain's stealth manoeuvres, desperately crazy antics, and witty comebacks will save the hostages and thwart the terrorists. Njoy these exclusive puppies taken from the gold version! More to follow shortly...

As you might well have expected it, Divine Divinity will feature a world full of monsters - big monsters, small monsters, happy monsters, sad monsters… more than hundred different types of monsters will be waiting to scare… or rather kill, the gamer. But bear one thing in mind: a monster is just as dangerous as it is intelligent. One example: some monsters are clever enough to only attack the gamer in groups. So the more intelligent they are, the harder it gets to get rid of them.

Recently, the inhabitants of the futuristic metropolis Neocron have learned to use the body and sign language! As soon as a gamer has entered a chat-text, the program checks it for special keywords. If such a headword crops up, the Avatar of the game makes a corresponding movement. Whenever the word "Hello!" appears, the Avatar kindly waves his hand, in case of a "Yes" he nods quite approvingly and every "No" is accompanied by the shaking of his head. No, don't panic. A lot of triggers such as "vo" and "vup" as well as "yes" and "yeah" affect the same animation. In case of words such as "bullshit" or "no way" the Avatar may even give someone the finger, and for enthusiastic expressions such as "wow" and "top stuff" he may even move his hips. (It's Rock 'n Roll Babe !!!).
Yeah Yeah! More about it!
