When I First Heard Of This Game, I Thought It Would Be Something Different Compared To Halo On Xbox, When I Bought It, It Was Literally A Blast! The Game Mechanics Had Amazing Explosive Animation, The Idea Blowing Up Cars And Such Was So Cool. The Storyline, Music, Weapons, All Was So Badazz! Sadly, We Never Got A Sequel, Muchless A Multiplayer Side Release, This Game Deserved So Much More, It Became Forgotten, And Deserves A Modding Community To Help Bring In Better Updated Visuals And A Multiplayer Mode! Remaster This ASAP!
Classic! One of the best ps2 era games, so cool playing this, especially on harder difficulties, lost count of many times I beaten this gem. This definitely should be on PC!
This is a Playstation 2 classic, to this day everyone talks about it. It should have a PC version. I really liked this game, I remember when I was a kid dying horrors in this game.

One of the most difficult shooting games that no one at the time knows, new generations need to have access to this classic, to know the feeling of beating black on the highest difficulties.

L'un des jeux les mieux réalisés sur PS2 et Xbox avec un univers totalement destructible, accompagné d'effets spéciaux spectaculaires : les bâtiments partent en ruines, les objets explosent ainsi qu'un gros travail sur la modélisation des armes et l'éjection des douilles.
Uns dos melhores jogos de ação e guerra da EA Games com Criterion Games! É IMPOSSÍVEL ESQUECER ESSE JOGO E O QUÃO BOM FOI na época de PS2. Meu Deus... que nostalgia meus amigos.
Dust, bullet holes, explosions and environments coming apart! It may not not have been Bad Company 1, but it came out a few years earlier and it was on PS2. For the time, it felt fantastic. I also remember the story being quite interesting, but really the gameplay and visuals are what lived in my mind all these years.
Eu joguei muito esse jogo memorias boas inesquecíveis queria muito que a gog eu ia agradece muito a gog e eles colocasse o BLACK aqui, muita gente q jogou o black saber como e a memoria dele top de mais tiro pra todo o lado kkk , Um dos melhores q ja joguei.
Black é o melhor jogo de FPS do PS2 sem duvidas ja tem meu voto. Espero que consigam trazer esse lendario jogo de PS2 para o GOG sem duvidas vai dar muito retorno
Um jogão desses nunca ter recebido um porte para PC é realmente uma pena, pois ele é um dos melhores FPS já feitos, joguei demais no PS2, gameplay, historia, gráficos, jogabilidade, tudo é muito bom nesse game, espero muito um porte dele para o PC e poder jogar na melhor qualidade possivel!!!
Those games also need your vote!

Freelancer
FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival. Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed. The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo. As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity. Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.

Wolfenstein RPG
Wolfenstein RPGWolfenstein RPG is a first-person shooter and role-playing video game developed by id Software and Fountainhead Entertainment, released in September 2008 for mobile phones and in May 2009 for iOS. In 2013 the game was removed from App Store. The gameplay follows the recipe from Doom RPG as it is shown in the first person while being a turn-based role-playing game rather than a shooter and puts emphasis on the plot. Combat and movement are turn-based, allowing the player time to select their responses in combat. The player turns at 90 degree angles and moves space by space. One step or action by the player allows all other characters in the area to take one step or action themselves. The game takes advantage of its deliberately slow pace, encouraging players to take their time and check out every little corner, read the books on every bookshelf, and destroy all the furniture to see if anything is hidden within. Levels include underground passages and weapon development laboratories plus a level involving a moving vehicle. The game also includes two mini games: the card game War as well as Chicken Kicking, where the player is awarded points for kicking a chicken into a score area.

The game also features a complex multiplayer mode entitled Metal Gear Online with some original missions based on the stealth aspects of the single-player games.
