Hitman: Blood Money

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter

Age of Empires III

Tomb Raider: Legend

Lost Planet: Extreme Condition

Hitman: Blood Money

Tense, methodical, and violent gameplay thats not for the impatient!

I played a little of the first and second games in the Hitman series and I thought that they were merely OK (everyone said the 'contracts' was crap). Ive never been a fan of trial and error gameplay. However, with this ... Read Full Review

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter

Awesome graphics with fluid and violent gameplay!

I Played the first two ghost recon games but I never finished them. The first one was just too tedious going through the whole planning phase and having my plan go to the dogs at first contact. The second one was better ... Read Full Review

Age of Empires III

Amazing physics plus gorgeous graphics energize what is basically an old school RTS.

I have played Age of Empires 1, 2 and Age of mythology to death and I had very high expectations for this game. While I cant say that the game is truly revolutionary in the way the old AOE games were, I can say that it d... Read Full Review

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War

One of my top five favorite RTS games

I believe this game takes all the regular mechanics of the RTS genre and reworks them into something truly outstanding. Battles are truly exciting and hording resources and using mass tactics in no way insures victory. I... Read Full Review

Tomb Raider: Legend

A good return to the roots of the series but there are some flaws.

I have played the first three of the Tomb Raider games way back when i was in college and thought that they were awesome. After those three, I got bored and everyone said that everything after TR 3 was crap anyway(not to... Read Full Review

Condemned: Criminal Origins

Scary and disturbing with satisfyingly violent gameplay!

I originally had no intention on buying this game. However, after playing the demo I was impressed. The fighting is this games bread and butter. The movements of the enemies you face are very realistic. The dark and drea... Read Full Review

Star Wars: Empire at War

Ultimately disappointing

I was expecting more from this game. Think about it. To plan and execute the conquest of an entire galaxy, you are going to need to consider and be aware of details that are not implemented in this game. 5 squads of stor... Read Full Review

Borderlands

First person shooter action with a 'diablo' type looting and leveling system. Great for hours of bloody entertainment!

I have been playing FPS's since 'Doom' and it is awesome to see the evolution of the template. 'Borderlands' is definitely a positive result of that evolution. In 'Borderlands' I loved exploring bleak and desolate landsc... Read Full Review

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Dark Crusade

An 'expansion' pack that 'expands' the series in ways expansion packs rarely do. Definitely the pinnacle of the series.

Before I heard of this expansion pack, whenever I was playing a DOW skirmish game, I found myself wondering,'Wouldnt it be sweet if all these awesome battles MEANT something!' I always wanted a strategic(big picture) la... Read Full Review

Titan Quest

'Diablo' with amazing graphics. If you loved Diablo, then you will love this (If you have the system to run it).

I have played Diablo 1 and 2, however, this is not my favorite type of game. Usually i am into RTSs and FPSs. I picked this up looking for a change of pace and I found this game to be refreshing and enjoyable. The action... Read Full Review

SiN Episodes: Emergence

Good for a quick First Person Shooter fix but not much else. Should be renamed "Guns and Boobies"

I have never played the original because I was too caught in Half-Life like everyone else. This game provides a mediocre experience. If you have played any FPS at all, then you know what to expect from this game. It has ... Read Full Review

Company of Heroes

One of the best RTS games you will ever play.

I am a huge fan of Relics 'Dawn of War' series. This game is an evolutionary step up from that game. First off, the graphics are amazing! There are times when I looked at a scene and thought it looked straight out of an ... Read Full Review

Lost Planet: Extreme Condition

Basic gameplay isnt very original, but when combined with amazing graphics and enough tweaks, this game is a must have.

When I first downloaded the demo for this game I was floored by the amazing graphics. At that point, I decided that I would fork over the $60 for this game. I even tried to buy it when I was in Tokyo (it was released the... Read Full Review

Medieval II: Total War

Once you patch it to version 1.2, this is a classic RTS game and a worthy follow up to Rome: Total War.

I played RTW to death! and I am currently playing M2TW to death. I have beaten this game as both England and the Holy Roman Empire. At version 1.0 and 1.1, the bugs of this game definitely take away from the experience.... Read Full Review
