Deus Ex
Deus Ex is an eye-opener, for FPS and/or RPG fans alike.
I was full of curiosity and awe when I first started to play, it was like playing Might and Magic the Half-life style, or the other way round. Your character levels up in terms of bio-transplants the way a paladin levels... Read Full Review

Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers
The best arcade classic to convert to the PC.
For those 90's arcade goers, none of us would forget this classic. Well, the best part is, we get to enjoy the action without paying ridiculous amounts of tokens here. In fact, the file size of this game on the pc is so ... Read Full Review

Command & Conquer: Red Alert - Counterstrike
A bit of a letdown...
When I realised there are giant ants in a military RTS, I knew the developers were desperate. They knew they couldn't make a perfect game any better and they were exasperated! Then, in the midst of collapsing in their bo... Read Full Review

Command & Conquer: Red Alert (EA Classics)
The best game in my life.
No introductions needed I supposed. What C&C has succeeded, C&C Red Alert brought it to a higher level, including units and levels design, game plot, cinematics and well, it has skirmish play! The single-player c... Read Full Review

Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth
Frankly, this game should come packaged with the official guide! A tough RPG!
The unique side-scrolling interface and 2D arcade style combat system brings a whimsical retro feel to this also very foreign setting of a Norse folklore adaptation. In fact, the game itself will baffle even the most exp... Read Full Review

Alien Shooter: Vengeance
Over the top shoot-em-up experience in this graphically revamped old-school shooter!
Alien Shooter Vengeance is an ultimately fun brainless shooting experience for those retro shoot-em-up lovers. Along with the usual heart-pumping techno soundtrack, the advanced graphics including beautiful particle syst... Read Full Review

Jeanne d'Arc
A solid turn-based strategy game that retells the story of Joan of Arc with a stylish twist.
I always loved the square grid turn-based strategy genre like FF Tactics, and Jeanne D'arc does a good job making this old-school genre rock again with a new recipe - Godspeed transformation. Like Sailormoon, some of you... Read Full Review

Broken Sword: The Sleeping Dragon
It seems a great game for fans of the series, but it just feels ok for me.
For a Broken sword game, it's a revolution to witness the transformation to 3D at that time, which may be a hit for the series' fans, but in the adventure genre, The Longest Journey or Syberia may still be a notch better... Read Full Review

Twisted Metal: Head-On
Very arcade style action. Kind of like Bomberman, except it's for cars.
Though I'm not the arcade action buff type, I've seen enough arcade games to say that Twisted Metal: Head On does features one of the most intense and difficult arcade battles that I've come across. The normal levels are... Read Full Review

Command & Conquer: Generals
A bold new strategy concept using the C&C license and it works!
At first I was quite sceptical about Generals since it doesn't relate to the C&C universe that we were so fond of, but upon experiencing it, I realised where the efforts of the developers went. A new concept was brou... Read Full Review

Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2
A solid follow-up to the first Red Alert, but a little strange on the look and feel.
It's not bad actually, with a modern day setting of the Allies and Soviets, complete with some cool backdrops like The Pentagon. There's quite some makeover of the units' and structures' concept, well, Tanya could swim n... Read Full Review

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II
More engaging combat and squad strategies than the original, and did away with building and resources.
Now that your squads come with hero characters that can level up, it feels like Warcraft DOTA, just that you are controlling 4 heroes at a time! Anybody who loves a bit of RPG elements will love this aspect of gameplay, ... Read Full Review

Etherlords II
An improved sequel over the first, but still retains almost everything the first has to offer.
For Etherlords II, if you ever care, the main improvement has got to be the "carry-over" factor for your main hero, like what Heroes of Might & Magic has done. That aspect actually improves the whole Etherlords experienc... Read Full Review

Command & Conquer: Renegade
Marvelous transfer from top-down strategy to experiential close-up FPS!
This experience for C&C fans such as myself is like Charlie in Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. The experience is overwhelming. I could say I'm moved to tears when I walked my commando Major to the entrance to the re... Read Full Review

Postal 2: Apocalypse Weekend
Frankly, this expansion sucks big time if not for the scythe... and elephants to go with.
Alright, welcome the new addition of 3 cold-blooded murder tools, the mallet, machete and scythe. Yup! Postal II Apocalypse Weekend does nothing more constructive than pushing the boundaries of violence to a new dimensio... Read Full Review

Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened (2007)
Interesting puzzles and innovative solutions, though tedious somehow, even for a Sherlock Holmes fan.
No offense to Sherlock Holmes fans but, I have to compare it with the few games of the genre that I've played. As a pure adventure game, Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened offers less imagination than The Longest Journey and ... Read Full Review

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
Feels like playing Finding Nemo or some kids-themed adventure game.
It doesn't have the grandiose of the movie, nor the intense of the action, and it just doesn't fit in with the mood of the blockbuster film. I'm sad to say I wish it hadn't been made. I'm a fan of the trilogy, thus am ve... Read Full Review

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
WARNING! I spent almost 200 hours on this.
In the first 20 minutes, I was wowed by the stylized graphics and cinematic soundtrack, and then the next 2 hours intrigued by the engaging environment, NPCs and their quests. The next 20 hours I still can't get over the... Read Full Review

Max Payne
"It's Max Payne! Pain to the max!" A revolutionary shooter for The Matrix fans.

Ground Control II: Operation Exodus
It's fun to play and watch, but has a half-hearted story with no Oompf.
Ok, one reason it got me excited to play was the poster girl, who is supposed to be the resident b*tch in the game. Well I thought she was going to be part of the cinematics treat during the game, but disappointingly, th... Read Full Review

Untold Legends: The Warrior's Code
Unless you're a super hardcore hack'n'slash fan, you probably won't enjoy this as much.
Untold Legends: The Warrior's Code is a mark above the first game in my opinion in terms of the combat system, level design and overall graphics. Yet the gameplay still suffers I think, due to the mundane hack and slash ... Read Full Review

Dissidia: Final Fantasy
Be prepared to set aside a good hundred hours on this, for all hardcore FF fans of any series.
At first, I'm quite skeptical about Dissidia, seeing it as a misuse of the famed Final Fantasy series for a lame Mortal Kombat style rumble. I liked Mortal Kombat by the way. So when I finally laid my hands on it and beg... Read Full Review

Diablo II: Lord of Destruction (Re-release)
A great expansion to an ace game. Assassins kick ass.
I name my Assassin character Elektra... Anyway, with 2 new characters, a new level (with a new baddie who calls himself Bhaal) and tons of new loot, this is a very worthy buy for a great game. Also, it's juicier if you p... Read Full Review

Diablo
The Godfather of hack'n'slash.

Half-Life 1: Anthology
The game is a masterpiece, but the review is meant for this package, thanks to Steam.
All the single-player games including the expansions are fun and challenging to play accompanied with intriguing storylines, apart from Blueshift being a little far-fetched. The graphics are also enhanced to at least sui... Read Full Review

Fallout
A great RPG experience set in every cyber punk's favorite premise, the wastelands!
I played Fallout 2 first, so I can't give a fair judgment on this original one, but one thing that bothers me is the deadline countdown for the main quest. The countdown timer starts once you leave the vault and goes on ... Read Full Review

Neverwinter Nights 2: Storm of Zehir
May not appeal to all, but nice overhaul if you like Final Fantasy style exploring.
Storm of Zehir did something really radical here by taking a deeply-rooted series formula and adding an element that's familiar in other games, the overmap. Personally, I love the FF7 exploring feature complete with rand... Read Full Review

Neverwinter Nights 2: Mysteries of Westgate
Try this short adventure if you can't get enough of the NWN series!

Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of The Betrayer
Nice epic-level gameplay, but a little stressful with time management.

Neverwinter Nights 2 (CD-ROM)
Stays true to the original NWN game mechanics, with a new array of prestige classes!

Hitman 2: Silent Assassin
Agent 47 is one of the coolest game characters in the gaming world. Love the suit.

Silent Hill 4: The Room
Rather than being a good creep-fest like its predecessors, Silent Hill 4 actually makes you more pissed off than scared.

Dungeon Siege: Legends of Aranna
I can't describe how bored I am with this uninspired expansion.

Dungeon Siege
A worthy addition to the hack'n'slash family since Diablo II.
If you're comparing this to Diablo II, then it has a tad too many weak areas such as poor character developments, simplistic combat system and slightly draggy pacing. However, if you're a hack'n'slash fan looking for a n... Read Full Review
