    It's a Saint's Row Game....whaddaya expect? Friggin Shakespear???

    I'll never get folks who just CANNOT let this slide as no longer a GTA clone. If GTA was slowly slipping into insanity and dementia while on an over exuberant gangsta binge this would be GTA...but it's not...no way. ... Read Full Review

    Some People like things Dumbed Down/Simplified.  I don't.  Not perfect but hardly a "fail"

    Total War: Rome II

    Some People like things Dumbed Down/Simplified. I don't. Not perfect but hardly a "fail"

    Oh Total War series. How I adore you. Let me count the ways... 1. In an era of most major releases being forced into the "FPS" genre. The Total War series has never really made a transition and kept it the way it ... Read Full Review

    Well 12 years later and it feels like that latest Guns and Roses Album: Too late, wrong era, and not even that good.

    Duke Nukem Forever

    Well 12 years later and it feels like that latest Guns and Roses Album: Too late, wrong era, and not even that good.

    Folks...let's chat. I've been gaming awhile. Duke Nukem 1 and 2 were platform games from long ago...they were fun little scrollers from a simpler day...nothing overtly complex. Just a guy with a bad haircut doing the 80s... Read Full Review

    A rather fun game and with a huge amount of customization. It has eye catching appeal I will give it that. Like an attractive person you have watched from afar but once you get to know her/him you find out that beyond ... Read Full Review

    Great game that needed more meat to be worth it.

    Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II - Retribution

    Great game that needed more meat to be worth it.

    Really a lot of fun and the characters are quite 40K in all ways shapes and forms. The Orks in particular have some great quotes and Mr. Nailbrain is one of my personal faves... Some thoughts: - A bit too easy on ... Read Full Review

    Space Siege

    An interesting but dumbed down Dungeon Seige

    Space Siege is not a "horrible" game as so many here want to call it. A good deal of gamers are a little too quick to point out mediocrity as failure. It's not. It's just mediocrity. That means it's not a very bad g... Read Full Review

    It's Not JA anymore than JA BIA was.  A cheaply made money grab with none of the challenge of the original JA.

    Jagged Alliance Online

    It's Not JA anymore than JA BIA was. A cheaply made money grab with none of the challenge of the original JA.

    I bought the 25$ game pack from steam hoping for a little nostalgic fun after seeing the advert for this. Touting itself as a JAgged Alliance game this free to play model cuts corners and dumbs down everything as well a... Read Full Review

    Tries to mash up city building and turn based strategy...falls short in both

    I like Kalypso...I make no beef with it. Tropico is so much fun and a hilarious world building game. It has character and is a challenge. So when I saw the graphically unimpressive but meld of city building and turn-ba... Read Full Review

    It's like meeting an old friend you haven't seen for 15 years.

    I'm an old fart for gamers. I went to undergrad some 15 years ago. Recently I bumped into an old friend from the old alma matter and the feeling I got was strangly similar to the one I got from playing XCOM: Enemy Unkn... Read Full Review

    Takes TW and adds rifles, railroads, coastal bombardment, and a better advancement tree.

    Total War: Shogun 2 - Fall of the Samurai

    Takes TW and adds rifles, railroads, coastal bombardment, and a better advancement tree.

    Remember how Empire/Napoleon didn't "exactly" catch rifles and the like into a perfect game. This is a better take on it some set 100 years later in the now familiar staging of Japan's history in a new era of steamships... Read Full Review

    Amazing what gets called an RPG these days.

    Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning

    Amazing what gets called an RPG these days.

    Somehow somewhere RPGs got really dumbed down. Pretty sure it's the BioWare EA formula they've latched onto that this game seems to suck like a leech. I'm sure if you liked DA2 you'll like this... It's just these "acti... Read Full Review
