Fuel computer game

The computer game Fuel is set in a future North America modeled on parts of the Pacific Northwest, California and possibly Nevada. Global warming has wreaked havoc with weather systems and vast territories have been abandoned in the face of environmental disasters. Youthful drivers have taken over these areas and race a wide variety of vehicles, including muscle cars, motorcycles, ATVs (called quads in the game), monster trucks and SUVs. Somehow, there's always another cache of fuel around the next tree or bush or on the top of the many abandoned buildings.

Half-Life 2 computer game series

The Half-Life 2 computer game series is set on a future Earth that's been taken over by an alien group known as The Combine from another dimension, elsewhere in the universe or even another universe. This invasion occurred after a portal was opened into that dimension or other place during the action in an earlier game called Half-Life (1998). Half-Life 2 was released in 2004 and a subsequent trilogy of episodes started appearing in 2006 (Half-Life 2: Episode One) and 2007 (Half-Life 2: Episode Two). Half-Life 2: Episode Three has not been released as of August 2009.
