Cryoma is on a distinguished road
Default Advent Rising

Old game, but very unique gameplay.
It was before halo though, and the storyline changes everytime you play it.
AND it was written by Orson Scott Card, legendary scifi author.
I was so pissed to find out the Majesco blew their money on a another game that bombed, so they can't afford to continue the Advent Trilogy.

You basically play as the last human in the universe cause earth is blown up.
It's funny cause
[SPOILER WARNING]
At the end you end up going to universal court and suing the race that destroyed earth.

It's a microsoft game so I'm sure there are torrents and such, I have it for xbox though.
It's hella fun to run around with your supah powers and blow people to smithereens.
Theres actually two ways to play the game.
1.
Guns and such.
2.
Magical powers.

You see, you can pick up guns off bodies or off weapon racks that you find, and the more you use each gun you level up your skill for that gun.
Each level up improves damage and acuracy and firing rate etc.
Same goes for your powers, say for instance your shield power, you start out by being able to place one shield in front of you, and it stays there, if you try to place another one it deletes the first one.
At shield level two though, you can place two shields at one.
3 on level 3 and on level 4 you can make a bubble shield around you so you're pretty much invincible for the duration that you can hold the shield there (the length of your powers also relies on your level).
There's like 8 different powers and 16 different guns, but you kinda have to choose whether you want to go all out guns, or no guns just powers.
Cause there isn't enough time to perfect both.
I like having one file thats for guns and another for powers.
Oh and with guns you have an optional fps view.
