Video Games Themes for the Truth Seekers (Page 2 of 2)

Since we are already on the topic.

Star control 2 (also "the ur-quan masters" is a fanmade reproduction of the game) A war that had humans and alot of other races on one side and ur-quan (predatory spider / lizard  race on the otherside) ended with humans loosing and the alliance that humans were fighting for all being slave-shielded on their own respective worlds. The game revolves around one shipcaptain who comes back to his homeworld (earth) and finds that the alliance lost. Having to rebuild the whole alliance from scratch and defeating the Ur-quans.

Baldurs Gate 1 & 2 (Game bout a hero realising he is part demon part human, and having to live with that. and people trying to kill him)

Final Fantasy 6 Best of the final fantasy games in my opinion. Very deep and involving story.

X-com 1 (Ufo: Enemy unknown) Very very good strategy game about a organization trying to stop aliens from taking over the earth, the aliens do terror attacks, probe around, build bases and try to convert nations to their cause (US being one of the easiest to turn actually) you play the part of the organization. The aliens have such nice things as Sectoids(grays, right down to the psychic abilities), have technologies such as elerium 115(element 115 anyone). And have a base in mars in cydonia. Worth playing.

there are more but i'll probably post them later.

Shadow the Hedgehog---Project Shadow is a fake lifeform made with joint alien/human government technology to carry out their agenda.  Shadow eventually destroys his controllers and gains his free will.

Well, it's time to revive this thread, because I've found a new adventure game (new to me anyway, it came out in 2003).  It's called Conspiracies, and it's an FMV (Full Motion Video) game originally made in Greece.   This is the setting in which the murder/mystery takes place:

"The 21st century human society is threatened by a destroyed natural environment, cannot solve the problems of over-population, suffers from poverty, organized crime and the increasing forms of depression and neuro-diseases.
Earth is one single federation of cities. Greece is one of them. Every city-state has its governor and its local government, which is subject to the Supreme  Federal Government. But the political lobbies, the big companies, the organized crime impose their own order, a situation, which most of the times surpasses law, creating its own reality."

Far fetched, I know!  But seriously, the game starts out as a private dick down on his luck, and ends up in a tangle of... well... conspiracies.   One thing I think is interesting is the introduction of a revolutionary drug that eliminates stress and contains a "happy" component.  Prozac, anyone?

Just finished a very creepy game called "Indigo Prophecy," known as Farenheit in the UK.  The protagonist finds himelf in a bathroom after killing a man by severing the arteries in his heart and carving strange symbols into his forearms.  His search for why he did this leads to Mayan sacrifice, mind control,  and a conspiracy plot by the people who rule the world behind the scenes.  Very interesting game, if you get a chance to play it.

In metro areas, very fast, single passenger vehicles are common.
