    Best space-sim I've played since Tie Fighter

    Independence War 2: Edge of Chaos

    Best space-sim I've played since Tie Fighter

    While space sims may not be my favorite genre, I do enjoy the occasional gem that comes along . Tie Fighter was one of my first and favorite space sims, along with Descent: Freespace and Freespace 2, and yes, Tachyon: T... Read Full Review

    Quality, not quantity

    Half-Life 2: Episode One

    Quality, not quantity

    Before I start with the good stuff, I want to get the one bad thing about this game out of the way. Episode 1 is very very short. People with any affinity for first person shooters will be able to beat this game in les... Read Full Review

    Despite all the hype surrounding this game, SupCom is a worthy update of an old classic, Total Annhilation.

    Supreme Commander

    Despite all the hype surrounding this game, SupCom is a worthy update of an old classic, Total Annhilation.

    Supreme Commander has had a lot of hype surrounding it. People speaking highly of it through the public beta testing and the numerous previews by countless websites all led the public to beleive that the game was revolu... Read Full Review

    While a solid shooter, it just doesnt bring enough to the table to be considered a good shooter.

    Halo 3

    While a solid shooter, it just doesnt bring enough to the table to be considered a good shooter.

    Halo 3 doesnt pull any new tricks. They take an already established gameplay formula, come up with a new and disappointing story, then build some levels around it. Anyone looking for something refreshing should avoid... Read Full Review

    Great game, reminds me of my first fantasy-based RPG mixed with Deus Ex gameplay...highly recomended

    The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

    Great game, reminds me of my first fantasy-based RPG mixed with Deus Ex gameplay...highly recomended

    Some people have written reviews saying this isnt an RPG because it plays like a first person shooter. Those looking for a pen-and-paper RPG game with a graphical interface will want to steer clear, while those looking ... Read Full Review

    Homeworld is one of the most enjoyable and original strategy games to ever grace the PC.

    Homeworld is a real-time strategy (RTS) game in which you are responsible for a mothership and her fleet of ships. The game offers a tremendous amount of new ideas in terms of gameplay, and while playing it one cant hel... Read Full Review

    While a solid shooter, it falls far short of what it should have been, especially given all the talent behind it.

    BioShock

    While a solid shooter, it falls far short of what it should have been, especially given all the talent behind it.

    BioShock. A gamer would have to be living under a rock for the past year or two not to know of this game. It promised so much, such as amazing AI, interesting environments, a good story, and most importantly great acti... Read Full Review

    AMazing game. better than the Battlefield series of games.

    Joint Operations: Typhoon Rising

    AMazing game. better than the Battlefield series of games.

    Joint Operations is a multiplayer first-person shooter where you can play online against up to 149 other people. Upon installing the game, you can start it up and then create a Novaworld account. After this brief incon... Read Full Review

    World of Warcraft

    A great MMORPG for both players new to the genre and familiar with it.

    World of Warcraft (or WoW as its commonly known as) is an excellent and well done MMORPG. To a new player, like myself, WoW is a well-made and accessable online game that can be played by both hardcore players and the m... Read Full Review

    Mass Effect

    Mass Effect is one of the best shooter-RPGs to grace the PC for 2008, and one of the greatest games I have ever played

    Hype and video games seem to go hand in hand; one can rarely come to Gamespot without seeing a game being claimed as the greatest to be made, and this seems to occur with many games made by large studios. Unfortunately,... Read Full Review

    Gears of War is an amazingly fun game with a great setting that is fun to battle through alongside a friend.

    Gears of War

    Gears of War is an amazingly fun game with a great setting that is fun to battle through alongside a friend.

    Few games truly live up to the hype they generate prior to release. I can think of numerous disappointments, and it seems that the games that fulfilled their hype can be counted on a single hand. Gears of War is one of... Read Full Review
