Origin is a digital distribution platform developed by Electronic Arts. It offers mainly online gaming service and digital rights management (DRM). Origin allows its users to purchase games via the internet for PC and mobile platforms and then download them with the Origin client. It also features many social options, like profile management, networking with friends on chat, and direct game joining (along with the in-game overlay). Another cool option is streaming via TwitchTV, sharing of game library and community integration with networking sites (Facebook, Xbox Live, PlayStation Network, etc.). Electronic Arts wants Origin to match its leading competitor, Steam by adding many new features, rewards, and cross-platform releases. Origin also allows its users to browse and purchase games for full price from Electronic Arts' catalogs. Instead of receiving a box, disc, or even an activation code, the purchased software is immediately (and permanently) attached to the user's account and can be downloaded with the corresponding Origin client. EA Downloader was launched in late 2005. After many changes, it was reopened under the Origin name on June 3, 2011. Currently, Origin has over 50 million registered users.Platform games (also known as platformers) are one of the oldest video game genres. Their main mechanic focuses around maneuvering an avatar to jump between platforms and over different obstacles to progress in the game. Jumps, attacks and all other movements are controlled by the player. Platform games were developed in the early 1980s but popularized in the mid-1990s. The term “platform games” describes titles in which jumping on platforms is considered an integral part of the gameplay. It was established no later than in 1983. The best and most well-known platform games are Super Mario Bros, Contra, Trine, and Rayman. Most of these franchises already have a cult status among their fans. It’s worth noting that platform games were, at one point, the most popular video game genre. On Games Republic player can find only the best platform games for PC and consoles. We offer amazing titles for an amazing price!In Single Player mode, only one player is expected to participate in every gaming session. The term “Single Player video game” usually refers to a game that can only be played by one person. The “Single Player mode” usually refers to a particular game mode that is designed for one player, though the game also contains other modes (that can be played by several players simultaneously). The majority of modern video games are designed so that they can be played in Single Player. Although many of these games have modes that allow two or more players to have fun, very few require more than one player for the game to be played. A good example is The Unreal Tournament series. Single Player games rely heavily on compelling stories and immersive settings. The point of this is drawing players into the experience and creating a sense of investment. Humans are unpredictable and therefore players cannot be relied upon to carry a narrative in a particular direction. Because of this fact, most multiplayer games try not to focus on a linear narrative. By contrast, many Single Player games are built around a compelling story and interactions with the in-game world.Dishonored is a stealth action-adventure video game franchise, created in 2012 by Arkane Studios and published worldwide by Bethesda. Set in the fictional, industrial city of Dunwall, Dishonored games follow the story of Corvo Attano and Emily Kaldwin (an optional protagonist in Dishonored 2). Dishonored’s unique steampunk style and well-executed mechanics resulted in franchise’s massive success. Both Dishonored games are played from a first-person perspective and allow players to undertake many assassination and infiltration missions, with a heavy emphasis on player’s choice. Objectives can be completed through stealth, purposeful combat, or a mix of both. Exploring levels opens new paths and alternatives for accomplishing mission goals. Players can complete all missions by killing their targets or eliminating them in a non-lethal manner. The story and missions are changed in response to the players’ violent actions and/or lack thereof. Dishonored games are one of the best, highly praised titles in the last few years. Their beautiful visuals and unique style make them a real jewel among modern FPS games. A must-have for every gamer!Hide
