    A breathtaking game that a true gamer should not ignore. Its simply amazing that a game can be this good. 2 thumbs up.

    The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

    A breathtaking game that a true gamer should not ignore. Its simply amazing that a game can be this good. 2 thumbs up.

    I don't usually write reviews because I'm too busy playing games but this one deserves recognition. If you've played Morrowind, this is the ultimate sequel. The one thing that really stands out is the "lives" that people... Read Full Review

    Though a bit short, Fable 2 is a great sequel with many elements that should have been in the first game.

    Fable II

    By jrhart24 | Review Date: Nov 06, 2008 | X360

    Though a bit short, Fable 2 is a great sequel with many elements that should have been in the first game.

    Released the same week as Far Cry 2, I wasn't looking forward to this game as much as Far Cry 2 and almost didn't purchase it. I'm definitely glad I did, though not quite the 100 hours I was expecting. I thought I did a ... Read Full Review

    A great game that is destroyed by the worst bugs I've encountered in a video game.

    Far Cry 2

    By jrhart24 | Review Date: Nov 06, 2008 | PC

    A great game that is destroyed by the worst bugs I've encountered in a video game.

    This review could easily change with some decent patchwork but the game for me is very broken. First, an error message pops up that I must click through 6 times to finally get the game going. I made it 16% through the ga... Read Full Review

    So close and yet so far away.

    Mercenaries 2: World in Flames

    By jrhart24 | Review Date: Sep 17, 2008 | X360

    So close and yet so far away.

    The first Mercs was an incredible game. I played through it twice and put many hours into it. Mercs 2 got announced and I grew excited. Pros: The graphics are awesome and the draw distance is what really impressed me.... Read Full Review

    Worth more than 20 bones.

    NARC

    By jrhart24 | Review Date: Mar 25, 2005 | PS2

    Worth more than 20 bones.

    I'm going to keep this simple because that's what the game is, very simple. It feels like a cross between GTA (I hate to use that reference since every game made nowadays has some comparison to GTA but it fits here) and ... Read Full Review

    A successful blend of two genres to make a (somewhat) new one, with good efforts.

    Borderlands

    By jrhart24 | Review Date: Oct 29, 2009 | PC

    A successful blend of two genres to make a (somewhat) new one, with good efforts.

    After seeing some of the brilliant reviews for the 360 version, I decided to take a chance on a game that I hadn't really followed. I pre-ordered on Steam and saved $5 which was a plus and with a couple minutes of decryp... Read Full Review

    When does #2 come out!?!?

    Freelancer

    By jrhart24 | Review Date: Apr 08, 2005 | PC

    When does #2 come out!?!?

    I know this game came out a long time ago but I've played through it several times, marveling at the way it was done right (as opposed to other games in the genre), and just started multiplayer the other day so... I felt... Read Full Review

    Very rarely does it get better than this. Suberb, enchanting, entralling, mystical, funny, and ambient.

    Fable

    By jrhart24 | Review Date: Sep 16, 2004 | XBOX

    Very rarely does it get better than this. Suberb, enchanting, entralling, mystical, funny, and ambient.

    I was half-expecting to be disappointed upon playing this game for all the hype it has received. Let me just tell you that the game is great. The longest I’ve played a game straight with no interruptions was Vice City at... Read Full Review

    Good game. A few problems that could have been fixed such as lack of cars and parts but still a good game. Lotsa fun.

    Street Racing Syndicate

    By jrhart24 | Review Date: Sep 03, 2004 | XBOX

    Good game. A few problems that could have been fixed such as lack of cars and parts but still a good game. Lotsa fun.

    First, I am not a racing game fan. I've playing GT2 and 3 and was horrible at them both. I can't corner worth crap in a video game so I always try and get a much faster car so I can make up for the lack of cornering skil... Read Full Review

    Worth the wait but the reward is short.

    Crysis

    By jrhart24 | Review Date: Apr 14, 2008 | PC

    Worth the wait but the reward is short.

    I finally pulled the money together for a new PC since my 4 1/2 year old Alienware was no longer cutting it. The bad part about Crysis was that it took far longer to assemble my custom, newegg PC than it did to beat the ... Read Full Review
