Patrick Kennedy from BagoGames writes: In a time where military shooters are a big norm in gaming, we often blur them into one. It’s not very often – in fact very rarely – a game that focuses on military action grants its player a chance of observing some organic, interesting, themes or subject matters relating to war. There are a couple of recent exceptions in gaming such as COD: Black Ops 3 and Battlefield 4. But these weren’t the first to observe what impact war has on human beings and the aftermath it leaves mentally. One game dared to be brave, to show the true colours of war. That game is Spec Ops: The Line.
Whether due to publisher deals gone sour, licenses expiring, feuds between developer and publisher and other reasons entirely, there’s a wide range of games that you just can’t buy digitally anymore.
No One Lives Forever 1+2 is on Internet Archive for free.

Torrents are there. I actually have the original CD's from NOLF 2, never going to part with them.😁
@Cacabunga
While i have a disc with the game, i was able to find it on a torrent ru tracker with at least 3 people seeding right now and it was downloaded 450+ times.
I wouldn't send a link (so i wouldn't get banned). But, i think, torrent or P2P are probably the last mostly reliable way to find old games no one cares about. I was able to find «Fable» there. Not the Lionhearts' Fable, but very old point-n-click adventure.
I still have my PS3 copy of Spec Ops, Battlefield Bad Company 1&2 & Marvel Ultimate Alliance 1/2.
Planning to replay those and a few others, but the controls feel so loose now compared to modern games.
Change the title to: Amazing Games That Have Been Abandoned by Stupid Publishers Who Don't Care About their Legacy, so You Should Pirate and Enjoy them.
Okay, maybe that title was a bit too long. 😅
I missed out on the chance to buy BFBC1 on Xbox and I just want to kick myself silly. One of the best PS3 experience of my life. The feeling, impact, sound design of this game was leagues better than BF games that followed
Cultured Vultures: In the spirit of preserving some kind of history of this industry, we’ve decided to list some of the best games that you just simply can’t get hold of digitally at the minute.
I just started playing Spec op. I've had it for years on steam and forgot about it. Such a good game.
Yes great game spec ops! Since the time we’ve been asking sony to make one:/
Auto Modelista.. a PS2 capcom racer!! A blast to play and great graphics!
Maximo!
Rival Schools!
all the games in the above list are bang on. this is the only reason we need backwards compatibility and physical presense of games for the upcoming future, no matter what.
Honorable mention to the excellent Driveclub, one of the best racing games of all-time and one of my favourite games ever.
yes! incredible rain effects; so good to drive along in rain with your Spotify playlist blaring
I really wanted a MotorStorm using the same engine, Driveclub is easily one of the best looking games on PS4 and I'm surprised they didn't even give it a PS4 Pro patch.
I adored Driveclub and the Bike expansion. I also loved Motorstorm. Evolution shutting down was a crime
Outrun Online Arcade, Sega Rally Online Arcade, After Burner Climax... all good stuff. I keep my 360 hooked up to play these as well as the TMNT games that were also delisted.
wow...I have all of them except the Nintendo ones either in physical or digital version.
Also..Deadpool the Game is missing on that list.
Tim and Luis talk what they’ve been watching and playing along with the news from the past week, including all the games from Sony’s “State of Play,” Evil West, Silent Hill: The Short Message, Hideo Kojima weirdness, Spec Ops: The Line delisted and more!
I loved this game, was excited to see where Yager was going to take Dead island 2, but sadly that won't happen now.
matters relating to war.... here are a couple of recent exceptions in gaming such as COD: Black Ops 3 and Battlefield 4.
stop reading there! I agree about Battlefield 4.. mutliplayer only! Single player is hollywood sh** all fake with pink ponies!
Black ops 3 lmao.. will not even start.. its a fake gun kids game with jumps! Single player was fine, story was interesting.. but it didnt even come close to actual war or stressful/emotional situations.. its all freaking cheap pink ponies for kids! with jumps!
The storyline was interesting, thats about it.
The ending was crazy. Overall, Spec Ops The Line was good and definitely worth a play through. It should be picked up really cheap by now.
A very average TPS, however the story made up for any faults I may of had with the game. Easily one of the best stories of 2012. I didn't say game... but story. What a mind f*** of one it was too! Definitely worth playing!
