Description:
Well i dont know how to introduce the run, i try this way.
READ THIS PART BEFORE YOU START WATCH THE RUN!!!
Ok. First i would like to thank:
* Cauldrath for his xbox360, from which i used some routes for my run.
* ExploddingCabbage for some major shortcuts
This run took me exactly 3 month, i started the run at 9th June and finished it at the 9th September. I basically started the run because this game is awesome and i think SDA really need a run of this game. Apathy started nearly at the same time ,but some how he disappeared with his start. During the run i was close to give up the run, in this time ExploddingCabbage and Snvus started a run. Hopefully we will see some more runs of this game. Ok enough of the useless stuff!
I need to explain some of the tricks i used in the run.
bot-clip Abuseing:
Here i placed a security- bot in a door, which is later locked. The bot somehow breaks the clip and you can pass through it.
deathwarping:
With killing yourself or getting by someone you get teleported to the next Vita-Chamber and so you can advance faster to your goal.
radio/Diary skipping:
Sometimes there a radio messages which have to be played to trigger an event, mostly these messages are very long and you lose time trough that. When the message started you just have to start manually a radio messages or a diary. Sometimes you can skip an entire radio message with that. The Xbox360 is faster there because with the controls you better can skip through the menu.
fastshooting:
Shotgun, grenade launcher and crossbow got a reload animation after a shot, to skip that switch to plasimids and then switch back to the weapon you use again.
melting ice:
Instead of using incinerate you also can use exploding bucks or ordinary fire.
floor triggers avoidance:
Some important doors are closed by floor triggers. Sometimes you just can walk around the trigger and sometimes you have to jump over the trigger.
look triggers avoidance:
There are a few enemies and that activate when you look at them, you can avoid activating them by not looking. Same goes for doors. Sometimes floor and look triggers are combined.
item stacking:
Just stack some items to a small tower and jump on it to get to a point where you normally dont get.
pressure jump:
put an item against a flat wall and jump on it, then you get a push in the direction you want.

Command and Conquer 3: Kane's Wrath
Welcome back, LEGION. Indeed, Joe Kucan is back, portraying the legendary self-proclaimed prophet Kane, through 20 years of Command and Conquer history: past, present and future. The 13 missions spread story explains what happened to the Brotherhood of Nod right after the Second Tiberium War, and fill the history gap left by the original Command and Conquer 3. And then of course some more, the action takes us a bit more into the future, showing just a sneak peak of the shape of things to come.

Sins of a Solar Empire
The stellar "Sins of a Solar Empire" hits our PCs with a unique interesting new combination of game genres and a few cool ideas that should draw the attention of quite a few strategy fans. The newcomer Ironclad Games managed the impossible and created a competitive title indeed. But aside from all the prays and high marks this game received overall, its approach on RTS and the mix of elements it brings, one can find some things that will bother a few players and that will eventually influence the grades of this review. Ok, let's take it from the top.

Sherlock Holmes versus Arsene Lupin
Sherlock Holmes, the worlds` greatest detective, created by Arthur Conan Doyle is about to face his biggest challenge so far: Arsene Lupin, the worlds` greatest thief, created by Maurice Leblanc. Who is going to win this battle of wits? Who is going to be victorious, and, most importantly, who would you like to see as the winner?

Silent Hunter 4: Pacific U-Boat Missions
I thought a bit about how to start this. While saying that Silent Hunter IV is the best submarine simulator out there is true, it doesn't mean much, especially for new players. Saying it is one of the best simulator games out there is again accurate, but again, a bit of an understatement. Why? Well because... despite the high complexity and realism involved, Ubisoft Romania managed to develop a game that is appealing to the beginners as well, in a certain degree.

Sword of the New World: Granado Espada
Lineage II had it share of success. At the time the game was released, it was one of the most beautiful MMOG on the market. To take its place as the most beautiful MMOG, the Ragnarok Online (or RO) developers from imcGames created Sword of the New World: Granado Espada.

GC: Disciples 3: Renaissance
We were able to take part in 2 battles and what we saw pleased us. The transition to the 3D helped the game and gave it a better view on the battlefield. You can move the camera and this way you get a better look at the action. The units are amazing and their animations are clean and good looking. Same goes for spells and effects: you will love what you see.

GC: Aion Tower of Eternity
In a perfect world, everything is controlled by a balance between Chaos and Order. But what happens if things start to get messy and a great evil is about to unleash an epic conflict onto the universe? This is what NCsoft decided to unveil and also explain why Aion is a MMO bound to have success.

Race 07
So here I am back on the road with a BMW. This time in Race 07 demo. The only racing-simulation game that really impressed me at GC. But only with the help of the Steam client which probably will become the "god" of online distribution! Anyway a big minus for this decision of playing the game only through Steam.
