King Arthur II: The Role-Playing Wargame

A mix between RPG and RTS, this game shines with its immersive adventure quests, yet technical problems spoil the fun.

A mix between RPG and RTS, this game shines with its immersive adventure quests, yet technical problems spoil the fun. This review is based on about 20+ hours in the main campaign, and 20+ hours in the prologue (dead ... Read Full Review

BattleForge

Innovative MTG inspired (cards) + RTS hybrid. Fight with a deck of cards to cast monsters, structures, and spells.

PROS - Very nice art. A lot of varied, different monsters and spells. - Great 3D graphics. The spell effects especially : Blizzard, meteor rain, etc all look great. - A lot of variety in gameplay. You can swap decks... Read Full Review

Drakensang: The Dark Eye

Amazing value for 29$. Oldschool RPG, NWN-like. System Similar to D&D. Great graphics. Stimulating tactical combats.

This is the closest to oldschool pen and paper role playing game I played in a long while. It uses The dark Eye, which is a combat / skill system similar to D&D but different. I enjoyed discovering this new system, which... Read Full Review

The Settlers 7: Paths to a Kingdom

Beautiful presentation and charming soundtrack, but limited strategic depth and lacking/dying multiplayer.

PROS - Nice graphics, animations, and cinematics. - Fitting music. - Provides a low stress time sink. - Victory points system offers multiple choices to conquest, warfare is not always necessary to win. CO... Read Full Review

Section 8

Some promising ideas but Section 8 ends up being way too generic with a dead multiplayer.

PROS - Dropping from the skies instead of respawning is cool - Somewhat good cinematics - All things considered, multiplayer is good and has its own flavor. CONS - Campaign is 3-4 hours short, story is shallow... Read Full Review

Mass Effect 2

Best science fiction action RPG ever.

PROS - Best science fiction action RPG ever? Yup. CONS - Removal of the Mako. I liked landing on a planet and exploring with a vehicle... Yes it was boring sometimes, but it added to the immersion and depth to t... Read Full Review

Distant Worlds

What if your local accountant tried to make a game? This would be the result. Mind numbingly Boring.

PROS ========= - It's a space empire game, and you know how rare these are. - Depth, maybe too much of it. However it suggests that if you really spend the time to learn the game and understand it, it might be rewar... Read Full Review

Dragon Age: Origins (Collector's Edition)

I sinked over 150 hours in this game. Dragon age is a feast for the RPG fans hungry for a well written, well made game.

PROS - Well written (I recommend both novels too!) - Tons of interactions, dialogues - Amazing durability. I clocked over 100 hours on my first run. - It is Bioware's baby, what can I say :) CONS - Combat sy... Read Full Review

Dreamkiller

Not horrible, and the concept is nice. But the extremely outdated gameplay and repetitiveness is boring / sleep inducing

PROS - Nice concept, going into people's nightmare to cure them of their phobias would have been interesting if done well. - Could be enjoyed in very very small dozes over a long time. Say play a couple of levels eve... Read Full Review

Risen

If you like Old-school RPGs and don't mind a challenge, pick this one up.

PROS - True successor to the Ghotic series. - Challenging combat system and AI, which means a rewarding gameplay if you stick around. - Beautiful world. Detailed grass, trees, lighting effects, day/night cycles, an... Read Full Review

Wolfenstein

"just another boring shooter".. Not horrible, but there are so much better investments out there right now.

PROS - Easy ride for the FPS inexperienced - Might be good if you are craving Wolfenstein specifically (If you are a fan) - Multiplayer is nice - Campaign is long for an FPS CONS - Too damn easy (if you are a... Read Full Review

Mass Effect 3

ME3 does not disappoint, and provides a worthy end to the trilogy.

After the failure that was Dragon Age 2, we all had our fears for Mass Effect 3. But surprisingly, Bioware learned from almost every mistake they did with dragon age to make the mass effect series better : 1) Awesome ... Read Full Review

Red Faction: Guerrilla

Ambitious and Immersive, this is a very good surprise of a game!

PROS - The most realistic building destruction simulation system to date. You can have a blast spending hours just destroying buildings different ways and seeing how they fall. - Immersive. The "sandbox" effect is he... Read Full Review
