    S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl

    This artifact is well worth digging for in a pile of jagged-edged, radioactive trash.

    My specs: AMD 64 3000+, 1.5 GB RAM, 6800 GS OC 256 MB. Game Difficulty: Veteran. Video settings: Object Dynamic Lighting, Medium Settings, 800x600 (mostly). STALKER is a game that tries hard to make you hate it. I'm... Read Full Review

    There goes the neighborhood.

    The Sims 3

    There goes the neighborhood.

    There are at least two good reasons for not describing what Sims 3 is about, so I'll just jump into differences from the previous game instead. The main one, of course, is the new game space. No more impenetrable "fog... Read Full Review

    It's like a 2D version of Donnie Darko, rabbits included.

    Braid

    It's like a 2D version of Donnie Darko, rabbits included.

    Braid is a 2D puzzle platformer, in which the spatial depth the worlds lack is more than made up for with the depth of the story and puzzles. The plural "worlds" is not a typo, either. You will be traveling through sever... Read Full Review

    It's Empire, but does it strike back?

    Empire: Total War

    It's Empire, but does it strike back?

    Empire: Total War. The year is 1799. Russia stretches from Northern India to North Sea. Sweden, Persia, Georgia, Poland-Lithuania, Courland and Crimea have been annexed and no longer exist as nations. All that is le... Read Full Review

    After reaching Earth, Number 6 and Number 8 Live!

    Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars

    After reaching Earth, Number 6 and Number 8 Live!

    Command and Conquer 3 is set in a universe where Kevin Spacey succeeds, and the whole planet becomes infected with kryptonite called tiberium. There's so much of the stuff that people decide, "Heck, it's green, let's m... Read Full Review

    Comparing to other Bioware games, DA2 is really not that good, but… why am I playing it at 3:30AM?

    Dragon Age II

    Comparing to other Bioware games, DA2 is really not that good, but… why am I playing it at 3:30AM?

    Maybe it's because I'm a fanboy. Maybe it's because I paid 60 bucks for it and don't want to admit to myself that the money was wasted. Or maybe it's because even an average game by Bioware is better than 95 percent of w... Read Full Review

    Great stuff. There's just not enough of it.

    Mass Effect 2: Lair of the Shadow Broker

    Great stuff. There's just not enough of it.

    Call me old fashioned, but I think two hours of gameplay, no matter how great, is not enough for ten bucks. Yes, we can say, "Well, you pay ten bucks to see a 2-hour-long movie, and games provide more entertainment than ... Read Full Review

    A nice console RPG.

    Mass Effect

    A nice console RPG.

    Canadian console game developer for EA, Bioware (yeah, and that's how I'm going to refer to it, until Dragon Age at least) tossed a bone to its once-important, WASD-playing fan base. It ported its long-anticipated new IP... Read Full Review

    Alpha Protocol

    I know I wasn't supposed to, but I enjoyed the hell out of Alpha Protocol.

    I passed up on this back when it came out, largely because of the reviews. I'm glad I did, too, because if I paid 50 bucks for this game back then, I may have been a little upset. But I got it from Steam for $7.50 a few ... Read Full Review

    Grand Theft Auto IV

    Open up! It's the streets!

    GTA 4 on PC was apparently meant for hardcore GTA fans only. I don't think anyone else would be able to make it through its installation process and keep his sanity. Not only it took so long that at times it seemed the d... Read Full Review

    Fallout 3

    Main story: a Bloody Mess or a Capital Waste?

    Fallout 3 starts like a true Fallout game. Sure, it looks a lot different, it plays different, but it feels the same, thanks, I suspect, in no small part to Ron Perlman's intro. The character creation and the "growth" tu... Read Full Review

    A dream come true: Red Dawn without Patrick Swayze.

    World in Conflict (Collector's Edition)

    A dream come true: Red Dawn without Patrick Swayze.

    World in Conflict is set in the late eighties, in a world where the Soviet Union, instead of going bankrupt and crumbling into a mess of shocked, open-mouthed countries, decided to get some dividends on its investments i... Read Full Review

    BioShock

    Ayn Rand is a Man here, and Atlas doesn't Shrug. That's why Rapture was doomed.

    Bioshock was one of the games I knew I was going to buy after building the new rig, and for 30 bucks it seemed like a very good deal. And it was, I guess, although it wasn't entirely what I expected. According to mo... Read Full Review
