Portal

An incredibly challenging and fun adventure that is waaaaaayyyyyy too short. But, there may be cake!

I'm so glad I got this game. Didn't know much about it until Portal 2 was being advertised and heard a lot of good things about it. Well, they're all true. This is a great game! Highs: - Simple to pick up - some of ... Read Full Review

The Witcher: Enhanced Edition

Nice start, tedious in too many places, highs can't compensate for the lows

I know I'm in a minority here. So, let me start off with a few good points: Highs: - one of the best opening sequences for a game I've played. It gave me very high expectations. - good detailed story - combat was go... Read Full Review

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II - Retribution

Retribution takes all the fun aspects of DOW2 and multiplies it by allowing you to play as any race - absolutely fun!

The DOW series is what RTS is all about. PROs: - Challenging missions. Depending on toughness level, it'll take you about 15 hrs to get through all missions. - no detailed micromanagement just tons of action. Yay... Read Full Review

Mass Effect 2

It has a few issues, but play it for the absolutely incredible story. You won't be disappointed.

ME2 takes place right after ME1. If the opening sequence doesn't pull you in, there's something wrong with you. You almost feel like you are creating a movie as you play. Plus: - Great storyline - Excellent game pl... Read Full Review

Mass Effect

The wonderful detailed story makes up for any short comings. WOW!

Wonderful RPG with a story that draws you in and holds your attention. GOOD: - Extremely detailed story with a variety of interesting characters. The cinematic cut scenes are beautiful to watch. You really feel like... Read Full Review

Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition

My first venture into an RPG and I was blown away. I'm an RPG fan now.

Good: - Huge map with tons of places to go and people to see. - Enormous variety of weapons. I specialized in energy weapons and I'm glad I did. - Lots of interesting side quests. Some are so interesting and engross... Read Full Review

Fallout 3

My first adventure in RPG and I wasn't disappointed! A little tedious at first, but you're rewarded with many hrs of fun

I do a lot of reading on games before buying. I read both critics and user reviews to see which games I may find entertaining and challenging. I hadn't played an RPG before and thought I would give it a go. After a lot o... Read Full Review

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II - Chaos Rising

Take DOW2 add morality, a new character, and you have a fun recipe. Too short though.

After thoroughly enjoying DOW2, I could not wait to get into this game. The idea of adding morality to the RTS genre I thought was very innovative. The GOOD: * you choose your own moral destiny. Whether you choose pu... Read Full Review

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II

Great story, great game play, great graphics, just plain great!

I was a little concerned about not finding another RTS as good as Company of Heroes. This game won me over. I was a little hesitant about the idea of mixing RPG elements in a RTS but after a couple of missions, I was... Read Full Review

World in Conflict (Collector's Edition)

Fantastic story, lots of explosions, average tactics, too much hand holding, but a lot fun!

This game is an excellent game for someone new to strategy or tactics gaming. For the seasoned RTS veteran, it's rather simple but the story will keep you engaged. First off, if you haven't played this game or the fo... Read Full Review

Company of Heroes: Tales of Valor

COH fans will be disappointed in this one. It's time for the Russian or Japanese perspective, or the Pacific battles!

To me, COH is the greatest strategy game in existence. Opposing Fronts was an absolutely awesome sequel. Tales of Valor was an serious let down to the franchise. Tales of Valor adds only six missions to the campaign;... Read Full Review

Plants vs. Zombies

Perhaps the most enjoyable tower defense game created! You may find yourself glued to the PC for just one more level.

I'll be honest. When I saw this game title, I thought it was the dumbest name for a game and I stayed away. After getting into tower defense games, I saw that this had a free demo and gave it a go. I was sold and purchas... Read Full Review

Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts

The perfect sequel to the perfect game.

I didn't think it was possible to produce anything as great as the original COH. This game is a perfect addition to the COH series. This time, you play as the Brits and Germans. The great thing about this is that the... Read Full Review

Company of Heroes

This is the standard that RTS games should be judged against.

Gameplay - A little intimidating at first. There are a lot of weapons and soldier types to consider. Be a little patient in learning them and you will be richly rewarded with challenging gameplay. I had to use a walkthro... Read Full Review

Order of War

Stellar tactical war game that isn't just more tanks

Those condemning this game as simply throwing more tanks at the opponent haven't played the campaigns. Order of War is a great test of your tactical fighting skills on the battle field. You play a colonel given order... Read Full Review

Mass Effect 3

The best RPG I've played - a masterpiece plain and simple

The Mass Effect trilogy has been a great experience. ME3 with the extended cut scene endings is a fitting conclusion to a EPIC series. I don't understand some of the user reviews complaining about the ending as you are g... Read Full Review

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine

I'm a big fan of the Dawn of War series and will continue to be. I may have had too high of expectations for this game.

DOW RTS games are some of my favorite. I was really looking forward to the action version of a Space Marine experience. The story is actually very good and the only thing that kept me going. The graphics are visually... Read Full Review

Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty

The standard to which all RTS games should be judged.

This game is by far the best game I have ever played. I have to admit I was a little intimidated with its complexity early on. However, Blizzard does a wonderful job at bringing you up to speed through the campaign in th... Read Full Review
