The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

About

Underworld: The Eternal War is based on the movie of the same name. The storyline revolves around the eternal war between the vampires and werewolves, and as the player, you can choose the side you're teaming with. You can either choose the movie's heroine Selene, or can be the "bad guy" Raze, who is a werewolf. It's an all out slugfest as you take on to the battlefields where you must accomplish missions, were they about protecting someone, kill someone, get an item from somewhere, or just kill everyone. The action is the name of the game here and there are lots of it. Using different weapons, you smack the opposition to kingdom come. Many, many times. After that, it's more smacking. And then some.
