BioShock Infinite

Extreme Paintbrawl 4

Descent II

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic

Thief: The Dark Project

What can't be said about the game that introduced and perfected the "First Person Sneaker" genre?

Thief was the first game that truly scared the crap out of me. Prior to the LGS classic I had played plenty of games that stressed me out - Privateer, for example, gave me many a gray hair during its tense spaceship dog... Read Full Review

Mass Effect

The first of the Mass Effect trilogy sets an innovative and entertaining pace that solidifies it as a must-play game.

Quite simply put, you must play this game if you have not. Most people by now have been introduced to the Mass Effect universe through the buzz generated by the sequel, Mass Effect 2. Let me just get the bad parts of t... Read Full Review

Mass Effect 2

Mass Effect's story progresses but the gameplay gets stuck on a rail and tries hard to keep you from immersing yourself.

I waited a long time to play the original Mass Effect. It was the culmination of a long search for a space-oriented open-world combat/RPG in the tradition of Privateer. Now obviously Mass Effect isn't anything like Pri... Read Full Review

Mafia

One of the best games ever, certainly the best Mafia game.

I discovered Mafia some years after it was released. I had just watched the movie "True Romance", which includes a great Mafioso scene with Christopher Walkin, and had a sudden urge to find a good Mafia comput... Read Full Review

Fallout

In the Top 5 RPGs of all time, and will be for years to come.

Fallout is one of those games that captures your attention so completely that you'll look up at the clock and suddenly and shockingly realize you've been playing it for 9 straight hours and it is now 6:00am and time to g... Read Full Review

Wing Commander: Privateer (3.5" Disk)

Oh, how I wish somebody would make a game like this today.

Since I upgraded to Windows XP and was cut off from perhaps the best space game ever made, I have been searching for a game that is anything close to Privateer. Unsuccessfully, I might add. How does one begin to descri... Read Full Review

Lineage II: The Chaotic Chronicle

What happens when a game for Korean powergamers comes to North America? Lineage II.

What can be said about Lineage II? A game by Korean developer NC Soft, I played it from closed beta until Chronicle 3. The game is truly an amazing experience visually, and also incredibly addicting. However, from the... Read Full Review

Deus Ex

Best combination of RPG and FPS ever made.

Deus Ex, simply described, was the greatest achievement of developer Ion Storm. Even though today its graphics are dated, it's still a joy to play. Having gone through it several times myself, using a different playsty... Read Full Review

BioShock Infinite

Bioshock is a crowning achievement in artistic game narrative and design, limited only by combat that serves no purpose.

There's been something very hard to come by from video games in the past ten years. It's not impressive graphics, or intense action, or good voice acting, or even good story-telling. It's a combination of all those thi... Read Full Review
