Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines
Bloodlines would have been perfect without the random bugs that littered the game.
Before anything, I'd like to warn you about the most lethal problem this game has. Bugs. Game-stopping bugs. Random game-stopping bugs. Yes it's by luck, without the official v1.2 patch, you could have a 50% chance to ge... Read Full Review

Rise of Nations: Thrones & Patriots
A great expansion with a better solo campaign.
Other than having a dozen more nation factions, which kind of add a little bit more variety in the world campaign, the best that this expansion has to offer is the addition of new "story" solo campaigns, especially the C... Read Full Review

Rise of Nations
It's like playing Age of Empires, Blitzkreig and Command & Conquer in one game.
Throw in Risk (the board game) and you'll have the ultimate all-in-one strategy pack in Rise of Nations. Also be prepared to throw in around 30 hours of gameplay for the campaign. What's more, if you love this game so mu... Read Full Review

Mafia
Ambitious game, though not without a few nagging flaws.
Mafia would be exciting for most Americans to play due to the direct heritage links, also for those who love the Godfather trilogy. Moreover, its similar gameplay mechanics and style to the GTA series would have made it ... Read Full Review

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Island Thunder
The stages are big, and very tedious if you're not the patient type.
I did not enjoy this one as much as the first two games probably due to its sprawling map sizes. It gets tedious every stage trying to cover the perimeter picking off the guards, and also, playing the trilogy in a row ma... Read Full Review

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Desert Siege
Great expansion set, though a short one.
What I enjoy most of Desert Siege is the Black Hawk Down feel due to the desert premise. The refinery tower mission is a particularly cool stage because of the impressive set design. There are lots of abandoned houses an... Read Full Review

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon
A review catered for Doom or Quake lovers who fancied a little change to their trigger-happy gaming style.
This is not your trigger-happy shooters like Painkiller or Quake, even the Medal of Honor series is a no-brainer at times. If you haven't played shooters like Swat or Rainbow Six before, Ghost Recon might be a good intro... Read Full Review

Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault
One of the hardest and most engaging sequences in the Medal of Honor series.
After the Allied Assault trilogy, Pacific Assault once again puts the Medal of Honor series on form. Well, if Allied Assault is a nod to Band of Brothers, then this game is the equivalent for The Pacific mini-series. ... Read Full Review

Call of Duty: United Offensive
Best part of the game's gotta be the B-17 Flying Fortress stage. Heard my heart pumping.
Other than some new weapons and a slightly upscaled challenge, United Offensive retains the same quality-assured consistency of the original. There's quite a number of stages involving vehicles and one of the best part i... Read Full Review

Call of Duty
Another classic collection in the WWII-shooter genre.
I can't help but compare Call of Duty to Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, well cos, some of the team were from the party who did the latter. Being a major fan of the MoH series, I had a certain disdain towards Call of Dut... Read Full Review

Project: Snowblind
It's somewhat of a Deus Ex + Red Faction mix, but definitely for shooter fans.
Project Snowblind is not entirely original, as it took on the Deus Ex oriental cyberpunk look combined with a gameplay similar to Red Faction, a straightforward and fast-paced FPS against similar-looking enemy militants ... Read Full Review

Neverwinter Nights: Hordes of the Underdark
Hordes is a worthy expansion with a grand single-player campaign.
Given my previous grumble with the first expansion, Hordes made me a happy fan of the Neverwinter Nights series again. One of the best features is definitely the Epic upgrade and the whopping level 40 cap. Especially for... Read Full Review

Neverwinter Nights: Shadows of Undrentide
It will be a better gaming experience if it's meant for mid-high levels instead of from scratch again.
I'm not really thrilled with Shadows of Undrentide as it did not build up on the previous game either for character building or gameplay challenge. In fact, your character starts from scratch, which makes leveling up rat... Read Full Review

Neverwinter Nights
One of the best RPGs of its time and one of my best RPG experiences!
A Dungeons & Dragons game needs no introduction and Neverwinter Nights improves this pen and paper experience with revolutionary 3D graphics and it's best admired when the game is paused in the middle of a wizard clash w... Read Full Review

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Soulstorm
The more not neccessarily the merrier. Worth playing only if you haven't tried Dark Crusade.
Again re-utilising the Risk-style campaign, fans of Dark Crusade may find Soulstorm a kick if not for the broken bonus functions that spoil the game. Yes, some bonuses for conquering stronghold maps don't really work, li... Read Full Review

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Dark Crusade
Very addictive non-linear campaign that makes for a great expansion!
Other than having 2 new races that are fun and varied to play, the Risk-style campaign is the best makeover the series has to offer. A great idea I think, that fully accommodates the whopping 7 races without the need to ... Read Full Review

Seal of Evil
Stay far away from this if you hate Prince of Qin.
I pride myself with a generously large tolerance for the slightly inferior games that belongs to the bargain bin which I might give a chance and enjoy the fruits of the poor hard-working games developers' labor. But I ha... Read Full Review

Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30
Brilliant combination of FPS and strategy tactics that truly represents squad combat in the real world.
About the most commendable feature Brothers-in-Arms has to offer is the tactical gameplay that rarely works in previous shooters, especially WWII shooters where squad combat is often scripted and most of the time you are... Read Full Review

Prince of Persia: Warrior Within
For those who can't get enough of The Sands of Time... here's more swinging, hacking and teeth clenching.
For those who had a hard time with the acrobatic stuff in the first game in 2002, then expect it to be tougher in Warrior Within. Even in the easy mode, Warrior Within can be quite unforgiving in a few areas, especially ... Read Full Review

Sega Rally Revo
My first racing game on the PSP, and it's just plain fun!
For this game, you can practically forget about any other controls other than the left, right and X button, which makes it arcade fun and stripped-down challenging in terms of pure maneuvering. With easy controls, adr... Read Full Review

Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror
Very impressive shooter for the PSP with tons of bonus stuff!
I can't say how glad am I to play Syphon Filter again since SF3 on the PS1. The shooter experience is very much enhanced with better aiming system and boosted with equal opportunities of stealth and tactical combat. Plus... Read Full Review

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War
As a hardcore Command & Conquer fan, Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War is my next Command & Conquer.
I always thought nothing beats the Command & Conquer series in the sci fi strategy genre, not even Starcraft (to me). Dawn of War opened up a new path of crush, kill and destroy in my little gaming world. I'm always awar... Read Full Review

Bounty Hounds
Quite fun for a casual hack'n'slash experience, just don't expect too much from it.
If you're looking for a not-so-serious relationship with a sci-fi action RPG, then it doesn't hurt to try out Bounty Hounds. The premise and characters look promising but as the vaguely interesting story unfolds, everyth... Read Full Review

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
For those who love solving puzzles requiring fast hand-eye co-ordination and nimble fingers.
Gamers who are more into point-and-click adventure games should stay away from Prince of Persia, if you want to stay swear-free for the weekend. Even with the innovative time rewind feature, you'd still struggle with rel... Read Full Review

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory
Improved from the previous series, this is the best Splinter Cell experience I had!

Vampire Chronicle: The Chaos Tower
The complete Darkstalkers collection preserved in its old-school glory.

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell

A cute puzzle platformer for kids and the kid in you.

Grand Theft Auto III
This game is one reason why I took up driving lessons in real life.

Final Fantasy VIII (Platinum)

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
For fans of LOTR, and hardcore fans of really challenging action games.
Even at easy mode, the game's still unnecessarily challenging. I mean, it's foul-mouthing hard. At some point, you'll wish the game was never made. Most of the time, the checkpoint is a joke, as there's only 1 or rarely ... Read Full Review

Though flawed, it's still one of the best action shooters for the PS.

Makai Senki Disgaea Portable
A simple-looking yet addictive game if you're into turn-based RPG.
Compared to the rest of the better games in the market, Disgaea has a very minimalist design and animation that's quite unappealing to the eye at first glance. However, if you're already familiar with this title, you wou... Read Full Review
