    In like Ned Beatty.  Out like Burt Reynolds.

    Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition

    In like Ned Beatty. Out like Burt Reynolds.

    I clear the 1st third of the game. I opt for the Catacombs where divinity damage will suit me well. Perfect timing...as I just scored a auto-damaging "miracle" also boosted by faith. I am two short of its minimum require... Read Full Review

    Well, hello there, oversized spider.  You're looking ravishing.  Shall we dance?

    Legend of Grimrock

    Well, hello there, oversized spider. You're looking ravishing. Shall we dance?

    The dosey-doe fighting-and-dodging gives the attacks a rhythmn-mini-game prelude that I enjoy, plus there are some modern-combat mechanics under the retro hood . For instance, when you step back into attack range and swi... Read Full Review

    Arkhamverse?  More like AWESOMEverse!

    Batman: Arkham City

    Arkhamverse? More like AWESOMEverse!

    Writing by Animated Batman's Paul Dini who draws on the darkest corners of the Batman mythos. A soundtrack pulled from the Nolan movies, and then chopped and screwed for a fresh familiarity. (I just made an oxymoron.) An... Read Full Review

    Damn, Poland.  Nice work.

    The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings

    Damn, Poland. Nice work.

    Great graphics? Check. Great story? Check. Nearly perfect pacing? (Especially on the Roche path.) Check. Check...check...check...check. It goes on and on. This game just nailed it. You can tell Witcher 2 w... Read Full Review

    An open-world sandbox RPG.  Play how you like.  No two experiences....too much alike!

    Fallout: New Vegas

    An open-world sandbox RPG. Play how you like. No two experiences....too much alike!

    There are so many things to do in this game and so many different ways to play. Wander the wastes as a shotgun-wielding 'steady' addict blasting things from afar with long-distance slugs that you lovingly hand-crafted y... Read Full Review

    Revolutionary MMO combat and Top-Shelf Sci-Fi story hurt by overly clunky loot, currency, and grouping end-game.

    DC Universe Online

    Revolutionary MMO combat and Top-Shelf Sci-Fi story hurt by overly clunky loot, currency, and grouping end-game.

    Edited: September 2014. Gamespot did away (I believe) with "point-five" ratings on its scale. Thus, I have to review some games with an 8 score that I believe do what they do a bit better than DC Universe Online and am... Read Full Review

    An RPG/FPS that gives you the tools to play how you like.  It can be unforgiving and is for experienced char. builders.

    E.Y.E: Divine Cybermancy

    An RPG/FPS that gives you the tools to play how you like. It can be unforgiving and is for experienced char. builders.

    (EDIT 10/31/2014: I brought down the score by one. The multiplayer is very hard to get into without a password or dedicated server of friends. Despite a seemingly lavish stat-building, level-up system, there are underp... Read Full Review
