Hitman: Blood Money
An epic game. Leads up to the events in Contracts and follows many missions after. The ending is cool and original.
For any fan of the prior Hitman games, Blood Money is a worthy addition. Most missions are well-thought out and hold many options to eliminate your targets. The maps, buildings and environments are done well. As an ex... Read Full Review

Hitman: Contracts
Still a good game but not enough to surpass Silent Assassin. Dark atmosphere is perfect but end levels are not enough.
Contracts starts out really well. Even the game menu captures your attention as you listen to the haunting, electronica-like music with 47 sitting morosely in a chair, shadowed by darkness, moving ever so slightly as if... Read Full Review

Hitman 2: Silent Assassin
Great balance to stealth and slaughter. Story is paced very well, missions are fun, and killing targets is satisfying.
Silent Assassin is a third-person shooter, and those who have already played the other Hitman games, particularly Codename 47, will find vast improvements in Silent Assassin. One improvement is the ability to quicksave ... Read Full Review

Hitman: Codename 47
Not too bad of a start to a successful Hitman series. Game-design makes it hard to play. Might be worth it for fans.
This is a classic, third-person shooter with many elements of stealth. For those who have already played Contracts will find a few of the same campaigns also on Codename 47 (Contracts will give you more than one way to ... Read Full Review

Descent: FreeSpace - The Great War
A great space combat sim, even for today. Because of the FSO project, graphics are updated, and campaigns are plenty.
This review will almost be verbatim to what I wrote for Freespace 2 since the games play the same, especially if you use the FSO utility. You can buy the bundle of Freespace and its expansion Silent Threat for pretty ch... Read Full Review

A great space combat sim, even for today. Because of the FSO project, graphics are updated, and campaigns are plenty.
First of all, this game can be hard to find for a good price. It's worth going to www.gog.com to purchase a DRM-free download for a very good deal. Also check out www.hard-light.net to get FSO graphic/sound improvement... Read Full Review

American McGee's Alice
A third-person shooter - go from A to B - kill a lot along the way. Memorable opponents, great visuals, twisted story.
If you liked the original Doom, Heretic or Hexen games, then you will probably like Alice. It captures the essence of these classic shooters in that it contains many levels, with a lot of fighting, weapons and power-ups... Read Full Review

Mafia
A great set-piece to the life of a 1930's gangster. Challenging missions, fun shootouts, and a fast-paced, slick story.
You are a cab-driver in 1930 in the city of Lost Heaven. In the midst of the Great Depression, the city teems with business and the rich continue getting richer. You have been down on your luck starting out in your adu... Read Full Review

Condemned: Criminal Origins
A very brutal game. You will smash opponents with pipes and 2x4's. A little thriller/mystery but mostly bloody action.
I had read mostly positive reviews of Condemned a couple of years ago and had never heard of it before until then. I found it interesting that it had been banned in Germany due to its inhuman acts of violence. Along wi... Read Full Review

Thief: Deadly Shadows
As a stand-alone game, Deadly Shadows is pretty good. When compared to Thief I and II, it's somewhat disappointing.
If you have already played Thief I and II, then the third Thief game might seem like a great idea but falls short in a couple of ways. If you haven't played any of the Thief games yet, then I recommend playing one of th... Read Full Review

Clive Barker's Undying
One of the coolest, imaginative horror FPS of the day. The undead and supernatural abound, and you will fight them all.
The setting is the early 1920's and you control the hero Patrick Galloway, a WWI veteran and occult investigator. Armed with a revolver, scrye powers and the Gel'zibar stone, you visit an old friend who believes that hi... Read Full Review

Thief II: The Metal Age (Trapezoide Box)
Like its predecessor, one of the best in a stealth FPS. Even after ten years it is still a great game.
What makes Thief 2 great is that if you played Dark Project or Thief Gold, then you will easily fall into pace with the action that most of the controls and weaponry are very much the same. And if you haven't played the... Read Full Review

Thief Gold
Considered to be the game that started the stealth FPS genre. Worth playing and replaying. A great game, great story.
There is a good chance that those who have played a stealth FPS has heard of the Thief games. Dark Project was the first of the Thief series, and later Thief Gold was released, with improved graphics, gameplay and three... Read Full Review

Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened (2007)
Does a good job of portraying ficition's best detective but misses the mark with no side-quests or random play.
The best part of the game is the ability to move Holmes mostly anywhere you want to go like a FPS on a square grid, which is also one of the disappointments that you will generally retrace your steps to continue what wil... Read Full Review

BioShock
One of the best sci-fi/horror shooters in the last few years, and probably will be one of the top ten for awhile.
Despite the negative reviews of the game concerning DRM and SecuROM installation (my negative experience is that I had to change a setting to slow the DVD read speed so that the game could install from online), it is sti... Read Full Review

Call of Juarez
Good action and the setting is done well. Fun shootouts. Not much random gameplay though.
First-person shooting with a good variety of weapons makes the game worth playing. Unfortunately the hand-to-hand combat is weak except for the occasional fist-fights on two levels of the game. There was the chance for... Read Full Review

Dead Space (2008)
Horror that doesn't hold back. Enemies are weird, weapons are original, environment is sadistic.
Horror fans will probably be delighted from many tense moments, action fans might get excited over the piles of bodies that will accumulate and shooter fans could be challenged with the difficulties faced in Dead Space. ... Read Full Review
