    Fun for fans of the genre

    Omerta: City of Gangsters

    By jimrhurst | Review Date: Dec 28, 2013 | PC

    Fun for fans of the genre

    Look, this game isn't going to win any awards, but if you like turn based tactical strategy games then its very serviceable. I agree with GameSpot that the main real time strategy layer is underdeveloped and repetitive... Read Full Review

    I just don't get it.

    Medieval II: Total War

    By jimrhurst | Review Date: Feb 01, 2007 | PC

    I just don't get it.

    I know a lot of people seem to really love this game, including the professional reviewers, but I just couldn't get into it. Let me first say that I am a long-time enemy of the RTS genre. I think the entire concept of ... Read Full Review

    Familiar and yet unlike any other RPG you've played lately

    The Witcher

    By jimrhurst | Review Date: Dec 04, 2007 | PC

    Familiar and yet unlike any other RPG you've played lately

    I love this game. To be perfectly fair, I was in love with the idea of this game before it ever hit Gamestop shelves, but now I have it and my enthusiasm has not diminished. The promise I saw in this game and that ... Read Full Review

    Strong engine, weak game.

    Brigade E5: New Jagged Union

    By jimrhurst | Review Date: Nov 06, 2006 | PC

    Strong engine, weak game.

    It's simply a shame that there wasn't more effort put into this game. The game engine is actually rather novel and dynamic while staying fairly intuitive and flexible. Actions are accounted for in real seconds rather t... Read Full Review

    Worth the payoff for those patient enough to figure it out.

    UFO: Afterlight

    By jimrhurst | Review Date: Aug 12, 2007 | PC

    Worth the payoff for those patient enough to figure it out.

    If I could say just one thing about this game I would say it needs a better learning curve. There is no manual at all in the box and no mention of it in the game. Online help and the tutorial are basically worthless. ... Read Full Review

    Seasoned development team gets nearly every aspect right.

    Mass Effect

    By jimrhurst | Review Date: Jul 02, 2008 | PC

    Seasoned development team gets nearly every aspect right.

    I love this game. There, I said it. If you care to ignore my fanboyism and find out why I love it, read on. I'm probably about 80-85% of my way through it now having completed 3/4 of the main set-piece worlds and al... Read Full Review

    One of my personal all-time favorites

    Tropico

    By jimrhurst | Review Date: May 03, 2007 | PC

    One of my personal all-time favorites

    I can't entirely explain it, but for me at least, this game has INFINITE replayability. There are very, very few games I can play for more than 40-60 hours total and I almost never go back and pick up a game I've finish... Read Full Review
