ArmA II

Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos

Star Wars: Empire at War: Forces of Corruption

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II

just rewrote this again for the 3rd time, but the game has had 2 expansions so figure its due again.

So the game has gone through several incarnations so far. Imo it started off most fun of all, got super nerfed, and has been struggling ever since. The designers really have just been whittling away at every unit tha... Read Full Review

Fallout: New Vegas

this should rate lower as its way easy, but its just got so much content it rates a bit higher then normal.

so ya this game is pretty big. And while many people that i know (mostly the nubs) like fallout 3 better then this, i liked vegas myself (altho im still gunna gripe as usual). This game was done by many of the origin... Read Full Review

X3: Terran Conflict

i had reviewed this previously but have come back to the game again. It still could have had a better rating tho

so any way you cut it this game is going to take you awhile to play. I like that in a game. I have lots of time to invest, and i like the idea of big empire spanning games that take forever to complete because of legit... Read Full Review

Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad

I was a fan of the first one, and there are some great improvements in this one, but bugs still hurt.

So ya i like alot of ideas the red orchestra team brings to the table. Bit slower gameplay, but longer range, and far more realistic. In these things they have still more or less succeeded, but of course, ive always g... Read Full Review

Battlefield 3

If you've played one EA game, you know what to expect.

So i enjoyed the previous battlefield games, and i was around for the originals. This one as a game is my favorite of the bunch as well, and several things have been streamlined and rebalanced to pretty satisfactory lev... Read Full Review

Mount & Blade: Warband

if you see a 9.0 from me, then you know theres something different with this one.

so it took me a long time to even try this one out. And even once i had i was really not into it for the first several days of game time. The graphics arent really all that impressive, and as a fps or 3rd person pers... Read Full Review

Warhammer: Mark of Chaos

A perfect example of the lack of quality game manufacturers and failed support of today.

This game had a great foundation. The graphics were pretty good. It is one of the first games that displays this many units on the field at any given time, but there are problems. Many problems with many things. The... Read Full Review

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky

The never should have made past testing, but is still one of the greater fps's around.

So ive had nothing but problems with clear sky's bugs and just overall rough design of the game (usually both at the same time), and the game still has a wicked appeal. Even when i have to go 45 mins out of my way bec... Read Full Review

Red Faction: Guerrilla

Lots to love, and lots to hate

So this game has some cool stuff going for it. The tech involved is definitely impressive, as this is i believe the first game to ever have real destructible environments instead of replacing existing objects with a blo... Read Full Review

Assassin's Creed

A good buy, especially for the xbox but its not without problems.

Assassins creed looks good, its entertaining and theres alot to be said for it. Theres a large world with no shortage of content (even if some of it can get a little repetitive), and alot of visually pleasing geography ... Read Full Review

ArmA II: Operation Arrowhead

This aint yo momma's cod.

So first off, if your going to get this game make SURE you get it on steam or one of these companies that does updates for their games automatically. If you'll notice i reviewed arma 2 and it didnt get as good of a sco... Read Full Review

EVE Online

Some ideas from this game show just how pathetic other mmo's have been, but some ill conceived mechanics ruin this.

So at one point i had literally over a dozen of my buddies playing this game. Now only one remains, and hes running macros and exploiting the game left and right. All the rest have learned to hate the game for a few ba... Read Full Review

Alliance of Valiant Arms

These guys obviously failed their first semester at coding school.

So some companies fail so bad you wonder how they manage to remember to breathe. This company puts those people to shame. Im hoping to be re-writing this if i or my 2 other buddies can fix our problems with the game, b... Read Full Review

Company of Heroes

Good graphics, some cool units, and some cool effects, but ai is worse then anything i can compare it to.

So i realize EVERYBODY seems to love this game. You cant even say anything about this title without someone getting in your face (online i mean). I fully expect to receive hate mail for this review alone. Well, i p... Read Full Review

Hidden & Dangerous 2

So just like all these other fanatics around here, ive got to say this game is wicked.

So normally i try and wait until im done with a game or ive gone through the bulk of it. Ive played through the campaign on easy and impart way through on medium. I fully intend to run back through on the harder diffic... Read Full Review

Blood Bowl

between the bugs and the broken dice system, the game is just annoying to play.

So blood bowls tt game is hard enough to get into, but this incarnation adds some annoying bugs and broken functions to make for an even more abrasive gameplay then the original rough set of rules. So ive been to the ... Read Full Review

Star Wars: TIE Fighter Collector's CD-ROM

The coolest star wars game ever made, and imo one of the most enjoyable space flight sims of all time.

So xwing and its expansions were awesome, but Tie fighter was the game for me. The ships in the game start off as crap normal tie fighters but you work up to some of the coolest ships including the tie advanced, the t... Read Full Review

Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars

Worst rts EVA.

So this game is perfect for most kids today. Theres no tactical or strategic importance of anything. It all comes down to having the right quantities of units purchased. Thats it. I tried using all the rts tricks i... Read Full Review

GoldenEye 007

Another one of those games they just havent quite done the same since.

So i dont know what it was about this game, but as kids my crew jumped on this game and we got more competitive then anything i can remember since. I also cant think of a game based on a movie that has ever been so succ... Read Full Review

Shadowrun

This was meant to bury the series not help it.

So you cant expect one of the biggest bloated and greediest companies in the industry to make a game about the evils of corporatism, and exploitation of the system on both ends. That would be a conflict of interest to t... Read Full Review

Shadowrun

Just plain cool on so many levels.

This game was lengthy, had depth, was true to the game they took it from (which was the sickest rpg ever conceived after cyberpunk which was the pen and paper game that got banned), each class was very different, and pla... Read Full Review

Evil Genius

If you like dungeon keeper, this is one of the few gems made by the same guy.

i didnt find out about this game until the company was already gone, which is a tragedy imo because i love this game. Its like tropico meets dungeon keeper on a quest for world domination, or of course you could compa... Read Full Review

Napoleon: Total War

had a hard time at first but once this game set in it turns out to be one of my favorites of the series.

so ive had this game for awhile and rewritten this reviews several times already, but i must admit that this game does have a good amount of replay ability and i do enjoy gun powder battles much more especially now that ... Read Full Review

Hitman: Blood Money

Its not for everyone, but ive always loved this sandbox stealth/shooter series.

These games can be a bit slow. You'll probably do a lot of loading and redoing the same encounters several times which can be a bit tedious. Otherwise BM is a good addition to an old great series. The addition of a ... Read Full Review

Grand Theft Auto 2

So everyone had that one game they cant put down, this was mine.

So the graphics to this game were always considered terrible even upon release, but i didnt care. You could and would commit almost every law mankind has ever written, in a zany psychopathic hilarious trek across the ci... Read Full Review

Grand Theft Auto III

Its good to be the king.

When this game came out originally i took the week off from work and so did 2 of my buddies. I especially was an old skool gta fan, and this game was one of the few releases that not only didnt disappoint, but blew us a... Read Full Review

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City

So alot of people i know didnt like this one, but i did...

So the soundtrack is all 80's kinda meh if you ask me. its also the first gta game where they went away from making their own soundtrack. I personally was a big fan of the old radio stations/songs rockstar came up with ... Read Full Review

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

They dont make em like this anymore.

So this gta was the peak of the gta's with side games and 'other' crap going on in the world. A large selection of cars, aircraft of many kinds, swimming, and you can be fat or ripped etc which i thought was cool. Th... Read Full Review

Battlefield: Bad Company 2

They added some cool new stuff, but took away too much.

So the destructible enviro is cool, its got good graphics, and a mediocre ballistic system. But even the destructible environment is kinda wack because thats all the game really is. If your in a vehicle (and many tim... Read Full Review

ArmA II

Well after hundreds of hours just trying to get it to work, i have to recommend 'dont buy'

So the core of this game is awesome. Its got some great ballistics, 'Some' of the vehicles are absolutely great, the tactics you can use are top notch, and subsequently the maps are very large, and everything is made ar... Read Full Review

Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne

They just dont make em like they used to.

So I complain alot around here, look at my reviews and ive probly got at least one of your favorite games i criticize heavily in some way or another. Well this is one of the games im equating those scores to. This ga... Read Full Review

Fallout 3

This is the game im talking about when i say that these kids today will love anything.

So first off lemme say; i was one of the old fallout fans. I wasnt super hardcore but i did love the old game. It doesnt bother me that they made an fps out of the old tactical turn based system (altho the old system w... Read Full Review

Galactic Civilizations II: Dread Lords Gold Edition

Like all those Civ games you've played back in the day, but simplified, expanded on, and some graphics and ai upgrades.

I really didnt think i was going to like this game. I got tired of the civs after playing the turn based games for years and years, and i had thought the entire genre was a thing of my past for me. I finally picked i... Read Full Review

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Dark Crusade

Bout the best its going to get in the rts community for another several years.

So the game has its flaws, and their are a few balance issues, but even those can be over came fairly easily with some basic skill. The game is probably the most skill intensive rts to come out since the grand master ... Read Full Review

Combat Arms

Was cool at first, but not even worth the time now.

So this is another rewrite as ive gone back and tried the game out again recently. The lag seems to be improved, and now you can vote kick hackers out (altho this requires an entire room to vote so), and while i pre... Read Full Review

Medieval II: Total War

Civilization vs Age of empires and you get medieval 2.

The game has alot to be said for it, its large, with many factions. There are alot of unit types, and the combat system based on a good idea, not to mention the actual real history involved with this game over its peers... Read Full Review
