Darkspore

Darkspore is video game based on the 2008 video game Spore.this game is a sci-fi action-RPG that focus on multiplayer elements that features a much more advanced version of the award-winning real-time character creation and editing technology first seen in Spore. Darkspore will be available on PC platform.

The Crogenitors were a race of unrivalled scientists and had built a large galactic empire.They create an army of genetic heroes that bevcame known as "Living Weapons" based on mutation DNA. Long ago , they created five Genesis types of DNA as well as powerfull type of DNA called E-DNA. Unfortunatelly E-DNA was unstable and all of the subjects who came in contact with it were transformed into a genetic nightmare and connected with a hive mind know as "The Darkspore". The E-DNA rapidly turned into a virus that spread all over the galaxy, killing everything in sight. The end result was war. All genetic heroes were slaughtered, almost all Crogenitors were killed, and the Crogenitor empire dissipated star by star. Six surviving Crogenitors were put in cryogenic pods. Five of them were sent to planets with surviving genotypes, and tasked with constructing new Living Weapons untouched by Darkspore. After 1000 years hibernation the sixth Crogenitor was awakened and got informed by HELIX about what has happened to the galaxy.The Sixth Crogenitor now has been given task to gather the new Living Weapons, strengthening them with the stabilized E-DNA. With this new team the last survivor must fight the way across many alien worlds to Conquer the Darkspore and free the galaxy.

This is an action role-playing game in which players can customize creatures collect an arsenal of living weapons, genetic heroes with different combat abilities , and upgrade them with tens of thousands of collectible body parts and armor. Players can make the heroes truly unique and deeply customized in an enhanced version of the award-winning Spore Creature Editor. From a top-down perspective, players explore various environments (e.g., dungeon-like caverns, mountaintops) as they bite, claw, spit fire/energy balls, and use sword-like weapons to kill fantasy creatures. Combat is generally fast-paced and frenetic, with enemies screeching or grunting when hit; defeated creatures emit splashes of blood that sometimes stain the ground.

With new graphics engine, this game series back and presented in more gory detail than ever before. Mortal Kombat introduces a number of gameplay features including tag team and the deepest story mode of any fighting game.

In this game players compete in a series of combative rounds in order to advance to different matches throughout the game.

After an opponent is defeated at the end of a match, players have the option to perform finishing moves called 'Fatalities.'

Several of these exaggerated finishing moves depict characters getting dismembered, ripped or sliced in half, stabbed, set on fire, or set to explode.
